Married and Connected

Kate Evans has spent twenty years empowering women to see their true self that is hiding under their fears, shame, perfectionism, and unrealistic expectations. 

Her aim is to help you see yourself clearly for the first time. All of the answers you're looking for are inside of you already. But she knows how hard it is to find them on your own with all of that other noise getting in the way. 

Her job is to help you quiet down all of those crappy thoughts so you can see what she already knows about you. 

She's here for you as a guide, confidant, and accountability partner. She wants to honor the unique woman you are, instead of asking you to mold yourself into someone else's idea of what you or your home should look like. 

In 2018, she had a life-changing experience when she dove in and decluttered her own home. The experience showed Kate the connection between self-care and a healthy home. 

That was when she knew she had to help other women feel the pride and relief she felt. 

She found power and strength in herself when she took control of her home. She got over her "own shit" and stopped believing she was "just a slob", which was the thought that had held her back her entire life. 

Kate's goal is for you to find your version of that story. To stop hiding behind limiting beliefs and grab onto the life and home you deserve!

As a trained psychologist and life coach, Kate has a unique perspective on decluttering your home that is about you and your journey, not just the stuff in your home.

With her empathic and solution-focused approach to decluttering, and your commitment to yourself, you're finally going create sustainable change.

In this episode, we break down the limiting beliefs that may be lies that are holding you back from becoming your best self with an organized mind, home and life. Kate and I talk about how decluttering your home can and will lead to a more fulfilling marriage and parent/child relationship if you have kids. We talk about the grief that comes with cleaning out a deceased loved one's home and many more topics around decluttering.

Kate tells you how to get started, how to go about decluttering, secrets to being successful once you start decluttering your home and if you get stuck, she's right there to coach you by contacting her to get started!

***TRIGGER WARNING: ADDICTION & ABUSE ***

Today's episode was a solo episode answering questions that people sent in asking for coaching around different topics, questions, or scenarios they need help with.

1:30- A question regarding alcohol abuse and how it impacts every part of their marriage. I talk about how addiction of any kind breaks down trust. In my coaching, I use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and the Gottman method The Sound House example. In order to have a healthy marriage, trust must be established. If it's not, safety is not created and this blocks emotional connection, emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, the ability to be vulnerable, etc. Thus, addiction does, in fact, impact almost every part of the marriage.

20:23- The topic of discussion was sent in by someone wanting to know about emotional abuse. I talk about my own experience with being emotionally, physically, mentally and financially abused. I talk about how it looks in a relationship, examples, how it feels, how easy it is to judge someone who is being abused if you've never been abused yourself. I talk about what the abuse does to the victim and what to do about it.

40:31- The topic of codependency is brought up and discussed regarding how it is created, what it looks like and how to become more interdependent and less co-dependent.

***TRIGGER WARNINGS: SUICIDE, ALCOHOLISM*** Todd & Kelcey Postlewait are former coaching clients of mine that came to me in the fall of 2022 needing radical transformation. They were hours away from filing for divorce and knew that they couldn't continue with the emotional rollercoaster they'd been on for years. They didn't want to continue the legacy they had started for their son. They wanted a healthy marriage but didn't have the next steps to make it happen. They wanted each other, wanted their marriage but not that version of their marriage. They wanted peace, harmony, and most of all, they wanted to not only like each other but to truly be in love with each other again. I worked with Todd and Kelcey consistently, every week for 6 months, only taking off for holidays. They showed up. They did the work in between sessions. They did the growth work, even if they didn't like it. They were consistent about prioritizing their marriage. As a result, they changed their habits, broke generational curses, set boundaries, and changed their entire lifestyle. I met them where they were and in the very first session, we talked about where they wanted to go. I gave them the tools and taught them how to get there. They've been on their own for about 6 months now and as you'll hear in the episode, they are truly thriving. Todd and Kelcey are not celebrities. They are a married couple, living in Kentucky, raising kids and working jobs just like you and me. They have an exceptional marriage because they've built it. They have the life they want because they consistently work toward creating that life. This is their story. If you would like Todd and Kelcey to speak for your foundation or organization, please reach out to Todd at [email protected] you're interested in coaching for your own marriage or booking Kameran for a marriage conference, please reach out to [email protected]

Maggie Chapman is an academic advisor at CU Boulder, a pilot wife and a mom of two. As a passion project, she became a sleep specialist with Rocky Mountain Sleeping Baby and found her life's calling. Not only did Maggie help our family personally when Zayn was 16 months old and had never slept well, she's helped hundreds of other families teach their children to sleep and sleep well whether they were infants or well into their elementary school years.

Sleep is an essential part of helping a person thrive whether they are a child or an adult. It is a basic physiological need. In this episode, Maggie talks a lot about how to get more sleep as the parent during the season of having a little one, getting your child to get more sleep, postpartum depression and how to cope, how a partner can help with a newborn's sleep patterns, and how to thrive when you're barely able to survive during this time. Maggie and I are both married so we talk a lot about marriages when you have little ones and how to keep that spark alive, the seven year itch, and how to work as a team when you have kids.

Maggie is an absolute angel and so great to work with! You can find her on Instagram @maggiemchapman or Kandra and the whole team on Instagram @rockymountainsleepingbaby

Tell them Kameran sent you. They won't be surprised. I've sent so many clients to them already and all of them have been helped and have better sleeping households!

In this episode, we are talking about pride. Pride is not just the arrogant "look at me, see me, respect me, love me" boastful kind. It also includes fear. I give you examples of what pride looks like in your marriage, how it shows up, what it does and how it deteriorates your marriage, and how to eliminate the problem. I get very real and raw about my own marriage giving you examples of what my husband did and how he showed up, what I did, how I messed our marriage up and, in the episode, I show you what it looks like to take accountability when you blow it. I give you the three A's to remember in order to let go of your own pride.

Kevin & Bree Bailey spent $100, 000 on a divorce only to reconcile in the final moments of said divorce. They tell their story, how they went from divorcing and a nasty deposition to helping couples restore their marriage! They talk about their walks with God, how God is first in their marriage and marriages are truly under attack right now. What happens when you separate marriages? What's causing such a decline in dating and remarriage after divorce? We talk in depth about the steps needed to restore your marriage, even if you're the only one working on it. The episode dives into what wives and husbands do and don't do that cause hurt and problems in marriages. We talk a lot about how Bree and Kevin have shaped their marriage into having a legacy worth leaving now so you can do the same.

This episode is heavily based on Biblical principles and it is the opinion of Kameran, Kevin and Bree. This episode is for this world but not of this world. #IYKYK

Joy Harrington is a life coach, wife, mom and overall incredible human being! She has the best fashion sense too!

**TRIGGER WARNINGS AHEAD** (Infant loss, infidelity)

On today's episode, we start out talking about the infidelity her marriage endured. For 9 months she laid on the couch wallowing in misery, negativity and doubt. Then she got real with herself, got up and started working on herself. She and her husband, Peter, went to counseling, then marriage coaching, and started to grow and thrive together. She tells her story of getting pregnant with their third child, Sterling, and losing him one day after he was born. She gives so many great tips on how they stopped merely surviving and started thriving as a couple.

Next, Joy and I get into masculine and feminine energies- how to know which one you're in, how to slide back into the one you want to be in and what happens when you're not meshing well with your partner energetically. We talk about conflict cycles as it pertains to our energetic polarity and how to deal with marriage if your partner is gone a lot or is reintegrating back into home life after having been gone.

Lastly, we talk about homeschooling, traveling and how to stop settling for "good enough" and create a life you can truly be proud of, happy and fulfilled by and not in comparison to others.

On today's episode, I sit down with Tanner and Mariah Littrell to talk about how they've built an incredible marriage, chased dreams, achieved goals and created a beautiful family. Through loss, a journey through beating cancer, two miracle pregnancies, moving to a new city, we talk about their whole story. This episode will have you laughing, crying and understanding exactly what it means to be a team, to win together, and to build a marriage that inspires everyone around you. Tanner and Mariah are the epitome of what a fantastic marriage looks like. I love their humble, salt of the earth demeanor and most of all, the gratitude, pride, consistency, and deep admiration they have for each other. They validate each other. They listen and they communicate so well. I hope you end this episode with a whole page of ideas on how to use what they have and what they've gone through to better your own marriage.
