Geordie Lass & Doc Sass

Welcome to Geordie Lass & Doc Sass, the relationship podcast hosted by relationship coaches Sara Liddle and Anna Stratis. Together, we explore the real, honest experiences that shape our relationships, from emotional disconnection and communication struggles to intimacy, trust, and the quiet questions many people carry but rarely say out loud. Each episode brings thoughtful conversation, practical insight, and a deeper understanding of what it means to build, maintain, and sometimes repair a relationship over time. Whether things feel strong, uncertain, or somewhere in between, this podcast offers space to reflect and see your relationship more clearly. If any of these conversations feels familiar, you can begin with a private Relationship Reset Review. This is a gentle, personal reflection designed to help you understand what’s been happening and what might need attention next. Start your Relationship Reset Review here
