Who wants to look over on Christmas Morning and share a truly loving smile?


As a kid, I remember trying to feel what it might be like to be an adult. Most specifically, what it would feel like to be *in love.* You know, like the way grown-up couples look at each other in movies.

I was in love with love. I'm a people person, and I think the idea of having "your person" to be able to be with all the time... gosh, it sounded dreamy.

And that little girl was so disappointed a few years ago when she had a husband and two kids in the living room on Christmas morning, but she wasn't feeling glee. She wasn't feeling obsessed. She wasn't feeling *in love* the way she imagined "grown-up life" to be.

There were a couple of years when that girl thought it wasn't in the cards for her. That the *feeling* just wasn't what her experience would be most of the time. Not because she didn't love him, per se, but because it felt distant and cold and not warm and fuzzy like she wanted. Because it was Christmas morning and she was resentful about how much work she had put into crafting the "perfect" Christmas for the two little kids and how exhausted she was that morning when he seemed to think it was a fairy who came in and did all of the magic.

And there's a client of mine who shared a similar story recently of feeling like she'd given up hope on the love story she had imagined for herself... and how wild it is that now it actually does feel like that feeling often, and it's surreal.

My goals for my clients include:
-more butt pinching
-more laugh until you cry
-more high fives and "hell yeahs"
-more interesting conversations

How we get there is just the logistics, honestly.

It's you saying a bold "yes" to your relationship.
It's the ability to prioritize and carve out time.
It's having a space to talk through things while someone else acts as the "training wheels"
It's getting your nervous system in a place of more calm and safety so you have the capacity to be playful and creative, and curious.

That's what we do.

We've just opened the spaces for our November offers, and there's a place for each of you who are open and excited about enjoying more of your love story and partnership.

If you're not sure what the right fit is, don't worry, we can help talk through it with you! We offer a free 20-minute connection call just for that!

I'm inviting you into these spaces of working with us, not because I want to increase my client count or income. It's because I still believe in what I dreamed of as a little girl, and I think you do too. I think you want it to feel sweeter, more relaxed and fun, more "ride or die teammates" than "we're roommates who go on a date once or twice a year." And if you're reading this and you want that, I truly believe we can help you get closer to that, closer to one another, and enjoy more of your life ahead. And if you want it, you should give it your all because it's worth it. I want a slew of you in a group chat on Christmas morning, talking about how it feels like a Hallmark Movie.

ReaderThis week, Mike and I sat down with the mic and I asked him one question: What are you most afraid of as a parent and partner? That one question opened up a really honest, powerful conversation about fatherhood, inadequacy, presence, and what it actually looks like to lead with calm instead of control. It’s a great listen for both moms and dads — maybe even one to play together. I’ve got some exciting things coming your way in tomorrow’s newsletter, but I didn’t want to wait to share...

Do you ever notice how fast a small moment can spiral?It just takes one tone, one sigh, one unreturned text... and suddenly your brain is filling in the blanks. That tone? He’s definitely rejecting my new idea, so forget about it.She sighed like that again? She must think I’m lazy.He didn’t text back? Guess he doesn’t care how my day went.She walked away mid-conversation? She’s done trying. Those stories feel so real in the moment.But most of the time, they’re just that, stories.And they...
