Marriage on the Spectrum: It's Better than we ever imagined with Jeremy & Charity Rochford

Stephanie and Dan have as their guests a fellow ND Christian Couple and Coaching Team, Jeremy and Charity Rochford. Our show today covers Jeremy's later-in-life identification on the spectrum, parenting two children on the spectrum, and how the couple has learned to communicate effectively and learned to support one another through their 20+ year relationship. They have been coaches and trained coaches but have gone through the International Association of ND Christian Marriage training, and we are proud to support and help launch their coaching into this much-needed area.You can find out more about this training at:https://www.christianneurodiversemarriage.com/coursesJeremy and Charity have contributed to our blog at:https://www.christianneurodiversemarriage.com/post/an-autism-diagnosis-it-s-not-a-label-it-s-life-s-ultimate-cheat-codeAbout Jeremy and Charity RochfordJeremy has spent the past 15 years helping busy professionals lose weight and achieve their fitness goals by mentoring them through the same process he developed, and used, to lose 200lbs himself.
