This is how content on bobgrantplc.com gets researched, written, reviewed, and corrected. I publish this so you know what you’re reading and how much weight to give it.
Who writes here
Every article on this site is published under my name, Bob Grant, PLC. I am a Professional Life Coach with twenty-plus years of one-on-one work with women on relationship issues. Full background is on my about page.
I do not have ghost authors. I do not run a content farm. The voice you read is mine.
How a post gets made
Every post follows the same process:
- Topic selection. I pick topics from three sources: questions my coaching clients are actually asking me right now, search-trend data on what women are typing into Google about relationships, and themes I’ve covered in my books and YouTube channel that need a longer-form home.
- Research. I draw from my own twenty years of practice, my five published programs, my video archive (280+ videos), and outside research from credible sources including Gottman Institute, attachment theory researchers (Bowlby, Ainsworth, Hazan & Shaver), Sue Johnson’s emotionally focused therapy work, peer-reviewed psychology journals, and respected practitioners in the marriage-coaching field.
- Drafting. I use AI tools to help structure long-form drafts. This is similar to how a writer uses an outline or a research assistant. The framework, voice, and ideas are mine. The structure assistance comes from a tool I direct sentence by sentence.
- Review. I review and rewrite every post before it publishes. If the AI draft says something I wouldn’t say, I rewrite it. If a claim isn’t supported, I cut it or add the source. If the tone is off, the whole post gets reworked.
- Publishing. Posts go out two to four times per week.
What you can expect
- Specificity over generality. I write about real patterns I’ve seen in real coaching sessions, not vague self-help.
- Stories over scripts. I will not give you a script to send your husband. I will give you the understanding that lets you write your own.
- Disagreement with the mainstream where I think it’s wrong. “Set firm boundaries” and “communicate your needs clearly” are not always the right answer. Sometimes they make things worse. I’ll say so when they do.
- Plain language. No jargon, no clinical terms used to sound smart. If I need a technical term, I define it.
What you will not find here
- Clickbait headlines like “7 shocking signs he’s about to leave.”
- Therapy. I’m a coach. I do not diagnose, treat, or substitute for a licensed mental health professional.
- “Tricks” or manipulation tactics. I don’t believe in them and they don’t work.
- Political content. This blog is about marriage and partnership, not politics.
- Comparisons between coaching and therapy. The two are different professions with different scopes. I stay in mine.
Sources and citations
When a post references research, a study, or another expert’s work, I link directly to the source. Internal links to my own books or programs are clearly marked. I don’t pretend an opinion is a study.
If you ever find a citation that doesn’t support what I claimed, please tell me. I’ll fix it.
Corrections
If something I publish is wrong, factually, ethically, or in tone, I correct it. The correction is added to the bottom of the post with a date and what changed. I do not silently edit posts to revise history.
To report something that needs correction, reply to my email or use the contact information on my main site. I read these.
Reviews and updates
Posts get reviewed and updated on a quarterly cadence. The “Last updated” date on each post reflects the most recent substantive review. Minor typo fixes don’t change the date.
AI disclosure
I use AI assistance to draft and structure posts. I review and rewrite every post before it publishes. AI is a tool I direct, not an author. The opinions, frameworks, and stories on this blog are mine.
If you ever read a post that sounds like a machine wrote it, that’s a failure of my review process. Tell me and I’ll rewrite it.
Affiliate disclosure
Some posts may include links to products or programs I recommend. If those links earn a commission, I’ll note it on the page. I do not recommend anything I haven’t personally used or trusted in my own practice.
Independence
I am not paid by any therapy platform, supplement company, dating app, or pharmaceutical company to write what I write. My income comes from my own coaching, my own books, my email list, and (eventually) display advertising on this site. None of those revenue sources have editorial say.
Questions
If you have a question about how I work, what I cover, or what I won’t cover, get on the email list and reply to any email. I read every response.
