You can’t fix everything, but you can rebuild this.


Hey you,

If you’ve been carrying too much lately mentally, emotionally, politically... you’re not alone.

The world is loud. The pressure is real. And you might be wondering:
How do I make things better in a way that actually matters?

Start here:
🎧 Listen to this week’s episode where Mike and I talk about how protecting the energy of your home is one of the most powerful, long-term acts of change you can make.

Because when the world feels chaotic, your home doesn’t have to.
Your relationship doesn’t have to.
And your kids don’t have to grow up in the overflow of your burnout.

In the episode, we get real about:

  • How the news cycle and social media are stealing our presence
  • Why connection and joy are forms of resistance
  • The power of pattern interruption and micro-restoration
  • How reclaiming your home energy helps your whole family breathe again

It’s an honest conversation. One that might just be the permission and perspective shift you need right now.

And if something in you is whispering, “It’s time to do something about this,” here’s your next step:

We’re looking for 2–3 couples to beta test our new coaching experience, created specifically for the early parenting season.

Whether you’re pregnant or parenting a child under 2, this program will help you navigate the 5 core challenges most couples face after baby:

  • Communication struggles
  • Mental and emotional overload
  • Shifts in intimacy
  • Identity changes
  • Everyday disconnection

You’ll meet with both Mike and me during July and August, and beta participants receive 50% off the full rate.
This is limited to just 3 couples, so we can give focused, high-touch support.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed but deeply want a more connected home, this is for you.

👉 REPLY to this email to let me know you're interested and I'll touch base with you ASAP!

You don’t have to change the whole world overnight.
But building a safer, stronger home? That’s how real change starts.

Let’s begin there.

One night, about 8 years ago, Mike and I sat down on the couch after yet another meltdown (both ours and the baby’s.) We had just spent the last hour debating whether we should try sleep training again or keep pushing through the fog of sleepless nights. Our nervous systems were shot. Our bodies were completely touched out. And even though we had said earlier that day, “Tonight, we have to connect…” We sat down… and just stared at each other. We had nothing left. Not even a conversation...

with Chelsea Skaggs Reader- Let me tell you about a real Tuesday morning meltdown. Mike was quiet. Grumpy. A little “off.” Nothing new. But for whatever reason, this time it hit me like a brick. I had just come off a personal win, I was proud of something I’d created, something that felt really good, and suddenly, one weird tone shift from him and I was spiraling: “Is he mad at me?” “Did I do something wrong?” “Maybe I shouldn’t have been so excited…” And just like that, my confidence was...
