I created the 8 Self Love Tools—a simple way to bring self-care back to the basics. Instead of trying to do *all the things,* I focus on 8 areas that actually nourish the mind, body, and heart, like sleep, nature, good food, and even a dose of fiction to open emotional energy. Here is a smattering of some tools for you:

Practical tools to calm anxiety, ease loneliness, reconnect emotionally, and build secure attachment. From Dr. Jen, author of Roots of Belonging.

We create stories all day long, using interpretations, assumptions, opinions, and perceptions of the world happening around us.

Each one of those thin-sliced stories creates an emotion in our body.

All emotion is acted out as emotional expression.

When we come to realize that we are in charge of our stories that create our emotion, this is extremely powerful. This puts you in a power position rather than feeling loss of control.

Have you ever thought about doing a Couples Intensive?

I suggest one for couples that are stuck in the same painful loop—fighting, shutting down, or living like roommates.

Or, when date night and “trying to communicate better” hasn’t changed the pattern.

Instead, what couples need is to repair trust, rebuild connection, and learn a new way to talk in one focused day or weekend.

Schedule a Couples Intensive!
6-, 8-, or 12-hour focused sessions with yours truly.

I have only two weekends coming up from now until October - I'd love to fit you in!

We’ve all been there—stuck in that back-and-forth where one misunderstanding snowballs into hurt feelings and sharp reactions.

That’s the Conflict Cycle at work:
Thoughts spark Emotions
Emotions drive our Action

When both partners get caught in the loop, the conflict just keeps circling, like an infinity sign that never ends.

The good news? Once you can see the loop, you can start to step out of it. Naming the pattern is the first step toward breaking it.

What to do? Notice when you’re in the loop and try pressing pause before moving from Thought → Emotion → Action. That pause is where change begins.
