Something’s off, but you’re still showing up.

You’re the type who doesn’t quit. You stay loyal, hold it together, push through.

But the unraveling… it’s quiet. And it’s real.

The connection feels harder to find…

It’s time to experience something different.

We created this for couples who are tired of patchwork fixes.
This isn’t about one more communication tip, it’s about the story you live out together, and the one you still want to write.

We created this to introduce you to our private Intensives at Real Connections … this is not therapy as usual, this is better than that. It’s a relationship system.

A high-impact relationship restoration for couples who are serious about healing and rebuilding.

Watch this. It’s the heartbeat of what we do, and why it works.
Ready to move the needle in your relationship?

Serving Iowa, Colorado, Illinois, and Hawaii.

Book your private intensive today.

Two specialists, one couple, zero distractions. Major change.

It’s easy to overlook how small actions—like recycling your unused equipment—can have a big impact on our community. That’s why, when we partnered with the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce and Real Connections Counseling to host B.A.S.H., we were excited to open our doors and give a behind-the-scenes look at the work we do every day. Events like these remind us how powerful our community is when we come together—to connect, celebrate, and make a real difference. Thank you for joining us!

Whether you have a few items in your closet or an entire company storage room, EAS is here to help you recycle it the right way — and keep your data secure.

Don’t forget to keep your eyes out for next month’s B.A.S.H., hosted by Little Dog Tech Computer Repair — we can’t wait to see you there!

Real Connections Counseling is not just another Counseling company. It’s just not quite right to say such things.

We’re a relationship company. We are a success company. We’re a unity based company. We counsel, coach, and consult so that our communities have their best relational opportunities possible. Real Connections Counseling… It’s a system.

Sometimes grief looks like a diagnosis.

A body that refuses to cooperateA life that no longer feels familiarThis is non-death griefIt is real and relentless. It can disrupt your rhythm. Shift your identity. Push you into isolation.

But there is another way forward. You can face the pain without letting it define you. You can rebuild with clarity and wisdomYou can move toward life again. I know because I live it too.

I hike with two sticksI do my life differently than you do. We live out the normal required of us. The adventure in us never leaves us..

This video is for you if you live with invisible grief.

We will explore how to honor the magnitude of change. We will find new strategies together. We will not ignore reality. We will find strength inside it.

You can live with aplomb. You can rediscover your voice and purpose. You do not have to do this alone.

If you want support, reach out at realconnectionscounseling.com. We would be honored to walk with you.
