SURPRISE: We made you a mini-series just in time for the holidays!

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Some of you coast through the holidays with laughter and lots of hell yeahs.

Some of you come up against the frustration of gender norms, upbringings, and the extra tension of the holiday time and expectations.

Most of you are probably somewhere in the middle.

I was happy to see a ton of you grabbed the free Holiday Mental Load Breakthrough so that you could get all of the things out of your head and into a space where you and your partner can actually work with it instead of you "just doing it all." If you and your partner want to work together more, but you just are struggling to get it flowing, the mini series we made is for you. We decided to take the Mental Load Breakthrough (which you can print or use as a PDF to fill in), and break it down by each section- giving you shared language and understanding to make it easier to divide and conquer (and still want to snuggle at the end of the day.)

You can watch the mini series on Youtube or Spotify.
You can listen on Apple.
Each episode is under 10 minutes.

If you're feeling the stress of the holidays already, or you just know your tendencies and want to take a shot at expecting and planning for more teamwork, this was made for you.

The energy you bring into your relationships

Chels + Mike | Postpartum Together 12/30/25 The way you show up with the people you love matters. Not in a performative way.Not in a try harder way. But in the energy you bring into the room. The tone you carry into conversations. The version of yourself you’re offering at the end of the day. You’re not someone who needs a louder goal.You’re someone who does better when you lead with the energy you want to give and receive. That’s why traditional New Year goals often miss the mark.They focus...

Resending: he doesn't want to show up for coaching

I'm working with a woman right now who's husband doesn't want to show up for coaching, but she decided that she wasn't going to let that hold her back anymore. (I was super proud of her for that!) so she and I are in a 1-on-1 coaching space right now. I love working with her every week. She's exploring new facets of herself that have shifted and emerged since becoming a mom a few months ago. Friendships, what self-care really is for her, parenting goals, desires for her family's future... her...
