In 2018, something unexpected happened. My boyfriend at the time, Jon Medina woke up in the middle of the night with an idea that changed our relationship—and eventually, thousands of others.

He said to me, “Eleanor, I’ve had relationships fall apart because we didn’t talk about the hard things before they became issues. We also wouldn't always talk about the good things either. I want to do things differently with you.”

He proposed that we create a monthly relationship check-in—a time to openly communicate, ask the tough questions, and build a solid foundation together.

We made checking in a monthly ritual, and it transformed our relationship by creating space for openness, honesty, and empathy. Soon, our friends started asking for the same questions, and I began sharing them with my clients too.

What started as a personal practice between Jon and me has now become a tool for thousands of couples, families, and even business partners. These relationship check-ins help you communicate better, understand each other more deeply, and build stronger, more connected relationships with the people who matter most.
