Reader-
Ever been in that weird space where your relationship isn’t terrible… but it’s definitely not thriving either? This kind of describes 2017-2019(ish) for me.
You’re not fighting constantly.
You’re managing the schedules.
You’re tag-teaming bedtime and dishes and trying to remember the last time you really talked.
It’s not crisis. But it’s not connection.
This is the exact season where so many couples start to drift without even realizing it. And because it’s not “bad enough,” they don’t ask for support until it gets bad.
💭 Maybe you’ve said it yourself:
“We’re fine. It’s just a busy season.”
Or: “It could be worse. We’re not fighting.”
But just because it could be worse doesn’t mean this is as good as it gets.
In this week’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down:
- What the “we’re fine” phase actually signals in your relationship
- How to tell the difference between when therapy is best and when coaching can serve you better
- The kind of real-life support that makes sense when you’ve got kids, full calendars, and a desire to feel like a team again

Here’s the short version:
🧠 If you’re navigating trauma, mental health diagnoses, or deep-rooted wounds from the past, therapy is likely the best fit.
⚙️ But if you’re saying, “We love each other, we just don’t know how to fix this feeling,” coaching might be your thing.
Coaching doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re choosing your relationship before the resentment runs deep.
And honestly? That’s brave. That’s powerful. That’s what your kids deserve to witness.
If you’ve been wondering whether coaching could help your relationship feel less like a business meeting and more like a partnership again, let’s talk.

No pressure. Just 30 minutes to talk about where you’re at, what’s feeling hard, and if coaching could be the shift you’re looking for.

I’ll walk you through what this season of “we’re okay, but…” really means—and what to do next.

The Confident Mom Reset
Maybe what you need right now is to feel more like YOU. It’s the first step to so many things and most moms aren’t making space for it. I’ve made it easy with this 4-week small group. This is for you if…
You feel drained, stuck in survival mode, and unsure how to reclaim time for yourself.
The mental load is suffocating, and you don’t know how to lighten it.
You want to feel like you again—not just a mom, but a whole person.
You crave a community of women who get it, who won’t judge, and who are also ready for a change.
You know something needs to shift, but you’re not sure where to start.
**Looking for 2 more moms to join the next group starting in May!

NEW If you’re not ready to commit to weekly coaching, but you need something to change before you lose your ever-loving mind…This is for you.
I’ve been offering micro sessions as a consultant for another business and have found them to be really helpful! These are one-off 90-minute sessions where we’ll workshop together on the problem you want to solve, what’s in the way, and exactly what to do about it. This works if you are able to identify the one pattern, habit, or struggle you keep getting into and know you need to break. Book a micro-session now!

Did you know?
Penguins, especially chinstrap penguins, are masters of microsleeping. They can take over 10,000 micro-naps a day—each lasting just a few seconds—accumulating around 11 hours of sleep daily. This unique behavior helps them stay alert while protecting their eggs and chicks. Soo... don't feel guilty about taking that nap today!
Sending you support (and permission to not do it all),
