Sometimes you have to be the one to step forward in your marriage—even if it doesn’t feel fair. 

Many women ask, “Why should I be the one to do the work when he’s the one with the problem?”

But someone has to nudge the relationship into motion.

If you’re the one uncomfortable or ready for change, it may have to be you.

I also talk about the role of the victim and how staying passive keeps you stuck.

Using real stories, including an example from Simon Sinek about creating understanding where it seems impossible, I show why initiating change—even alone—can create fertile ground for real growth in your marriage.

This week, I want to share an experience from a couples’ weekend immersion I led.

Watching a marriage transform over just a few days reminded me why I do this work.

One person can absolutely create change in a relationship.

When you show up differently, your partner responds differently, and a new dynamic emerges. 

This couple came in scared, angry, and on the brink of divorce.

By the end of day one, they began seeing each other’s differences as strengths.

By day three, they had a connected, loving marriage and a plan to maintain it.

It’s amazing what happens when both people commit, use the tools consistently, and make an intentional investment in their relationship.

All progress begins from telling yourself the truth.

It’s easy to fall into confusion when faced with tough decisions, especially in relationships.

But sometimes, the confusion we feel isn’t real.

We pretend not to know the answers because we fear the work it will take to face them.

It’s much easier to stay in the comfortable discomfort of not knowing, even when deep down, we do.

The truth is, our brains don’t like uncertainty, and they’ll try to keep us stuck in fear.

However, when you’re willing to face the truth about what you’re avoiding, you can begin creating real change

It starts with being honest with yourself, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

I was recently a guest on Suzi Dafnis’ HerBusiness podcast, and we had an amazing conversation about the challenges women entrepreneurs face.

I share why it’s so important to prioritize yourself.

As business owners, we’re often pouring from an empty cup.

The solution? Start with a daily practice that tells yourself, “Me first, then everyone else.”

I explain how doing so not only boosts your well-being but also improves what you give to your business and relationships.

We also talk about the challenges when one partner grows in business and the other doesn’t. 

It’s important to communicate and support each other through it.

Relationships need growth, and so do businesses.

They’re both powerful teachers in our lives, but we have to do the work to keep both thriving.

Divorce isn’t just the end of a marriage, it’s the loss of a dream, a role, and often a piece of who we thought we were.

Healing means allowing yourself to grieve fully without rushing, then noticing when grief has shifted from fuel to a crutch.

It’s about asking yourself honest questions, moving your body, and resisting the urge to fill loneliness with another relationship too soon.

Getting your soul back is really about rediscovering who you are now, trying new things, saying yes more often, nurturing your relationship with yourself, and allowing a fresh start to unfold.

Your relationship with yourself is the most important one you’ll ever have, because it impacts every other relationship in your life.

Guilt is something so many of us wrestle with, especially in our relationships.

For a long time, I thought guilt was useless because it’s tied to the past.

But now I see it differently.

There’s healthy guilt—the kind that nudges us to make amends, apologize, or do better next time—and that can help us grow.

Then there’s unhealthy guilt, the kind that has us taking responsibility for things we can’t control, beating ourselves up, or carrying shame for decades.

Healthy guilt reminds us our moral compass still works.

Unhealthy guilt keeps us stuck and robs us of peace.

The real work is learning the difference, setting boundaries, and remembering that we’re human—always learning, always doing the best we can.

Relationships are rarely simple and binary thinking—believing things are either right or wrong—can harm your marriage.

Human beings are complex, and so are our needs, desires, and perspectives.

You can love your partner deeply and still recognize that the relationship isn’t meeting your needs.

You can set boundaries and still be a kind, loving person.

You can enjoy your sexuality, assert yourself, and hold yourself in high regard even when mistakes happen.

Embracing nuance helps you make clearer decisions, connect more authentically, and stop falling into the trap of “good guy stay, bad guy leave.”

Two truths can coexist, and understanding that opens the door to healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Deciding what to do in a marriage is never simple, especially when you’re questioning whether your partner’s “all in” effort is real or just words.

I walk a member through how to recognize that personal growth starts inside, and real change isn’t just mental—it shows up in consistent action.

We also tackle the challenge of delivering a separation or divorce decision when your partner reacts with tears, promises, or attempts to debate the past.

I teach how to stay grounded, honor your own needs, communicate clearly, and avoid being pulled into endless arguments.

Love and clarity begin with you, and you don’t have to navigate these conversations alone.

Heartbreak is hard, even when the relationship you leave behind wasn’t healthy.

We hold onto stories about the person and the relationship, but those stories keep us stuck.

To heal, you have to see what is real.

Look at the facts and be honest with yourself about why the relationship ended.

Write it down, reflect, and ask yourself what worked, what didn’t, and what this is teaching you. 

Heartbreak is painful, but it’s also an opportunity to grow.

If you step into the grief with awareness, you can move forward stronger and more conscious of what you truly need.

When your partner gives you advice on how to love or live, it can sometimes feel like an invitation to grow.

But it can also mask manipulation.

One listener shares how her spiritually focused husband tells her she doesn’t know how to love and is not living in her true self.

I explain how these comments often reflect his own projections, not her reality.

I talk about how we can learn to trust our inner wisdom instead of being swayed by criticism, and how to create healthier conversations in our relationships.

The key takeaway: separate your ego from the truth and learn to listen to your body for guidance.
