Eat cake (or donuts) for breakfast! Savor each bite and pay attention to the color, texture, taste, and how it feels to eat each bite. Food is not good or bad, it just has different levels of nutritional value. Ask yourself if you actually want the donut or are craving joyful, novel experiences

Be honest... do you prioritize "me time?"

Do you start Monday mornings with coffee in bed, reading poetry, your favorite novel, or a book about relationships or self-improvement/success?

Or do you hit the snooze button 5x before jumping out of bed to grab a quick shower, while also judging yourself for staying in bed too long?

Self-care rituals make us feel good... they also set us up for success...

Reading and writing poetry changes our bodies and brains...

- it releases dopamine, increasing motivarion, creativity, and happiness

- it moves us out of fight/flight mode and into homeostasis/balance

- it improves our awareness of our thoughts, feelings, motivations,needs and goals

How do show your heart, mind, body, and soul love, adoration, and gratitude?

Ever heard people say "poetry is like therapy?"

Ancient Greeks often viewed poetry as medicine and "prescribed" poetry alongside other medical interventions...

Poetry brings into awareness the complexities within which our brain makes sense of our internal and external worlds by unifying thought and language, music and imagery in a clear manageable way...

Sound vibration has the capacity to rrturn our bofies to homeostasis and out of fight-flight-freeze reactions...

Poetry is the oldest form of written literature dating back 4,000+ years. It is also an oral tradition passed down through generations.

Struggling to create a new blended family built on mutual respect, trust, compassion and emotional safety?

It starts with empathy... and understanding the fears, concerns, and emotional needs of the people most affected by your marriage.

Your kids, stepkids, spouse, current and ex-in-laws, grandparents...

Sure, your new marriage should be a priority... unless it ignores or devalues the feelings of your kids and stepkids.

2nd marriages with stepkids have a 70% divorce rate... so joining with your stepkids or acknowledging their feelings can literally save your marriage.

-how soon should I date after divorce?
- when should I introduce my kids to the new person in my life?
- how long does it take to successfully join two families and create a caring, loving stepfamily?

Perfection is overrated. Commit to loving all of the parts of yourself, showing self-compassion, and practicing self-care. How can you be a loving wife, stepmum, or co-parent if you put yourself last? You matter!

Happy Sunday!🌞

Does your home feel safe and peaceful?

Is it the soft, secure, safe landing you crave?

Do you feel loved, appreciated, cared for, cherished, and respected?

Or are you constantly on edge? Worried about saying the wrong thing or making a mistake?

Are you doing too much for other people? Do you feel unseen or taken for granted?

If you do not feel grounded and safe at home, why would your body or gut feel safe? Stress, cortisol, fight/flight/freeze mode hijack's your metabolism, immune system, gut, and digestion.

If you are eating balanced meals with a variety of foods, taking a probioyic daily, moving your body, and getting 7 hours of sleep each night, maybe stress is sabotaging your weight loss efforts.

Should you stay or should you go?

It's simple... do they add value and peace to your life?

Are they ready for you and the relationship you desire?

You will never be too much for the right person...

You won't need to prove your value or make them understand why you are a great catch...

To the person meant for you, you will inspire them to do better, be better, to become the bedt version of themselves.

Lean into your "aphrodite energy" if you want to atttact masculine energy. Worry less, play more... love more... create more...

and be willing to walk away if they do not lift you up.

I'm not suggesting bsiling at the first sign of waves or trouble. If you notice a potential red flag, stay curious, ask for clarity, be clear about your dealbreakers, things you absolutely will not tolerate.

Remember, if your goals and intentions are not aligned, they are not the right person for you, right now.

Heartbreak is part of dating and relationships, however the more you understand yourself and what you need and desire in a relationship, the easier it will be to walk away early on.

To avoid spending weeks, months, and years with the wrong person.

If Bob Wiley (What About Bob) can do it... you can too!

Rome wasn't built in a day. Babies sit up before they crawl. Toddlers stand before they walk. Don't be in such a hurry to rush through each step. Enjoy the experience and the life lessons it teaches us.

(July 2023) Random downtown coffee shop in Chillicothe, MO, my mama's hometown. We loved Sunday outings to local cafes, used bookstores, and vintage shops for coffee, pastries, books, window shopping, and the occasional trinket in Lincoln, Crete, and the occasional trip to Chillicothe.

Divorce and Co-Parenting Coaching

Divorce is not death, though it can feel like someone just died. Creating a collaborative co-parenting relationship with your ex can make a root canal look like a walk in the park. Let us help you navigate the choppy waters of post-divorce relationships.

Sometimes, co-parenting coaching involves sessions with both parents together. Other times, it is better to meet with parents privately and have some sessions together when they are ready.

Divorce and co-parent coaching is not therapy. While coaches and therapists both help clients, coaches focus on here and now, with less of an emphasis on emotions, and a large focus on goal planning, accountability, learning and implementing skills of collaborative conflict resolution, peaceful parenting, assertiveness training and mindfulness.
