Taking a family sabbatical
What happens when you don't take time for couple in early parenthood…
Downsizing, minimizing, letting go of the "shoulds"
Family members who weren't supportive of choices
"If you're living your life for other people, chances are, you aren't going to be living your fullest life."
How moving to a foreign country affected relationship with husband and kids
Social media and the effects it can have on us
Whether moving to Mexico was a slow burn or a sudden choice
If you just keep taking steps towards where you visualize yourself, it's going to happen
Small Steps = Big Change
When life throws you something hard, say thank you - Maya Angelou
Marriage -- feeling in a funk-- how to get out of a funk
SPending time together during the day instead of at night
Make intentional sexy time-- nothing is ever really spontaneous ;)
