About

Growing Us

Read full description

Growing Us helps couples grow closer and improve relationship wellness through real talk and proven science, not surveys or tips. You keep circling the same conversations. The real stuff keeps getting postponed. What if you had someone in the room who could actually help? Growing Us is a voice-first communication coach for couples. Just like with a trusted counsellor, talk through what matters: a weekly check-in, a tough topic you've been avoiding, or a solo journal to get clear before you bring it up. Your coach listens in real time, guides the conversation with warmth and research-backed frameworks, and helps you say what you actually mean. We built this because we needed it ourselves. Not during a crisis, but during the ordinary weeks when conversations circled and nothing moved. We wanted a coach that was honest but never judgmental, available at midnight on a Saturday, and that didn't cost hundreds of dollars an hour. So we built a counsellor for the pocket. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a session: solo to think something through, or together to have a real conversation backed by relationship science 2. Talk naturally. Your coach listens and guides in real time: asking the right questions, reflecting back what it hears, helping you say what you mean 3. After the session, see what your coach noticed: where you connected, where you talked past each other, and what's worth coming back to KEY FEATURES - A coach who's always there: Not just post-session analysis. Your coach is present the whole time: Asking clarifying questions, reflecting back what it hears, keeping the conversation honest and useful. - See what you couldn't see during the conversation: After you talk, your coach shares what it noticed about how you communicate. Where you were curious, where you got defensive, what you each seemed to need. - Not sure where to start? Pick a card: Choose from conversation guides that name the things couples actually avoid: the elephant in the room, the difficult question, the hard thing you've been meaning to bring up. - Think it through before you bring it up: Use solo mode to talk to your coach alone. Arrive at the conversation with more clarity about what you actually want to say. - Know who said what: When you talk together, the app identifies each speaker — so insights are specific to how each of you communicates, not just "the couple." WHY GROWING US - Honest, never judgmental. Built on a science-backed framework of curiosity over criticism. Your coach offers perspectives: you decide what resonates. - Private by design. Your conversations are not stored by default. No data mining, no training on your private conversations. - Built by a couple, for couples. Not a corporate product. A passion project by two people who use it every week. START FREE Your first sessions are free. No credit card. No trial countdown. Just a conversation and the insights that come from it. FEEDBACK? Say hi anytime: https://app.growingus.coach/support --- Growing Us is not therapy and is not a replacement for professional mental health support. If you or your partner are in crisis, please contact a crisis helpline or visit www.findahelpline.com.
