The holidays are upon us, tribe. Family dynamics can get complicated fast. And when they do, you and your partner or spouse need to feel like you’re on the same team. You don’t have to agree on everything, but you do need a plan, a boundary, and a way to support each other when things start going sideways.

Give this carousel a quick swipe for some simple points to stay connected, when stress begins to rise. If you celebrate, keep in mind that it's YOUR holiday too!

I don’t take sides, I take notes. Usually mental ones.
Then we turn those notes into a plan to try and make a difference, changes or build the relationship or marriage you want. 📝✨
The End.

One month in class and it has not disappointed. It's been a whole vibe coming out of the chair and off the screen! Having a total blast in the soundproof phone booths at 😆 More movement, outside time, various coffee choices ☕and won the student lottery - they are pretty dope. Feeling re-energized and loving this new chapter 🙏

Ancestral wisdom. But it still applies. Your central nervous system is a liar.
Unrecognized relationship trauma will show up in overcompensating or over correcting.

Don't confuse calm with boring. Just because there isn't something going on ALL THE TIME doesn't mean something is wrong or not going well. Prioritize peace.

New month, ya same homegirl but new perspective.

Whether you're new here or are an OG, welcome/welcome back! In this season I'm still sharing the 💎 to help couples win, pivoting to Divorce Mediation (stay tuned) and living out the legacy with teaching and education!

I'm also leaning into practicing what I preach. Being booked and busy is cool 👌. But I need to learn how to sit down too 😆 The interventions from the tribe have been real but I am here for it! I'm working on it and will share that part of the journey. Looking forward to more peace and genuine connection to self. To be continued...

This is a LOADED topic 🔫 and I want to know your thoughts. Marriage is a fantasy in a good way. Not like it's not real or doesn't happen. It can be a fairytale...once you create it.

Some people fall in love with the fantasy of marriage but don't understand the work it takes to create it. Putting on jewelry, saying some words in front of people and signing some documents are the first steps.

Long term marriage - and to be successful in it - is not always getting what you want, meeting someone else's needs sometimes and consistently learning and growing. You don't graduate - it's lifelong education.

You know I'm and believe it can be amazing and not just for the likes. It's definitely a "you get what you give" situation. What do you think - tap in on the comments below ⬇️
