My name is Megan Kirby and I’m a Mom to a beautiful 3 year old little girl named Cora and soon to be little boy due in September. I’m also a Wife to my amazing Husband Mike. I’m born and raised in New Jersey where I’ve lived a majority of my life. I’ve been a clinical social worker for the past 12 years and started a relationship coaching business within the last year.
I’ve been in some pretty unhealthy relationships in the past. I’ve been in the relationships where I was cheated on, unappreciated, and brainwashed into thinking everything was always MY fault. I stayed thinking he would change and that I could change him and make him the person I wanted him to be. But what I realized was you can’t change other people, you can only make efforts to reflect and make positive improvements and be the best version of yourself. Once you love yourself, finding that person that truly see’s you for you, is when you’re in the right partnership.
Marriage and long term relationships are a two way street, 100% and 100% given by both partners, all the time, and it’s not always easy. It takes work, patience, communication, effort, openness, appreciation and friendship from both partners to make it work. I’m not at all saying my marriage is perfect with sunshine and rainbows or that we don’t ever argue. However, when we do have a disagreement, we take a step back to see each other's perspective and we try our best to GROW from the experience. We know that being present, actively listening to one another and communicating our needs is of utmost importance to making our relationship work.
I’ve listened to so many stories from friends, co-workers, and clients where they are unappreciated, unhappy and emotionally spent. I’ve seen some of these relationships thrive with my advice and feedback and some end, but usually so better things can fall into place. One thing I can promise, is that each story or relationship is not one sided. From my work in the social work field, I understand that every person comes with their own baggage, meaning everyone has had different life experiences that contribute to the way they see the world. Both you and your partner have your own story, feelings and emotions that contribute to the current state of the relationship.
My passion is to help you understand that you can make conscious changes to your day to day life to help improve your relationship. By figuring out how to recognize where your negative thoughts are coming from and learning to make the efforts to create the change you desire.
