  • Too Little. Too Late.

    In many cases, it’s not until the husband is faced with divorce that he’ll begin making the changes his wife has requested for years. But as the wife, how can you tell whether these changes are genuine? Is it safe to assume this is your “new normal,” or will he revert back to his old ways as soon as you take divorce off the table?

    In this episode, I explain why this phenomenon is so common in marriages and what to do when you’re faced with it. You’ll learn how to tell whether the changes your husband is making are permanent so you can confidently make your final decision of whether to stay or go.

    If you’ve lost hope in your marriage and know that it’s time to leave, but you feel too scared, lost, or overwhelmed to take action… sign up for my free on-demand training, Undoing I Do. In this 60-minute class, I’ll give practical advice on how to process the emotions holding you back so you can confidently take steps toward your new happiness.

    What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

    • What most men do after their spouse asks for a divorce (even if they’ve been “checked out” for years)
    • How to tell if the changes your spouse is making will last
    • What emotions might arise after you tell your spouse it’s over (and how to stay true to your wants and needs)

  • Telling My Husband, “It’s Over.”

    Making the decision to end your marriage is a journey of its own… but breaching the subject to your spouse is a whole different story. How do you tell your husband - someone you likely still care deeply for, the father of your children, whose life has been intertwined with yours for years or decades - that it’s over?

    In this episode, I’ll guide you through how to have this difficult conversation with your spouse so you can finally start moving forward towards happiness. You’ll learn how to meet your husband where he’s at so he can come to understand and accept your decision, even if divorce was the last thing on his mind. You’ll also learn how to map out exactly what to say ahead of time so you can set the stage for a peaceful separation.

  • I Can’t Leave My Marriage. I Can’t Stop My Affair.

    When women reach out to me about their affair, they’re often experiencing a whirlwind of emotions: adoration for their new partner, guilt over their spouse’s feelings, and, above all else, utter confusion about how to move forward. For reasons unbeknownst to them, they can’t bring themselves to let go of their marriage, yet ending the affair feels impossible - and maybe they’ve even tried and failed several times before.

    “Where do I go from here?” they ask me. “Will I be stuck in this spot forever?”

    In this judgment-free episode, I explain what causes decision paralysis in relationships and why more and more modern women are seeking affair partners. Then, I’ll walk you through a 3-step process to decide exactly what you want, whether or not it’s possible to achieve it, and how you can start moving forward toward happiness.

    If you’re struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you’re serious about finding that answer, book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We’ll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there’s a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

    What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

    • What I say to women who are having an affair and don’t know how to stop (hint: it’s not judgment, and it’s not “just end it already!”)
    • The real reasons it feels impossible to leave your marriage, even when you’re having an affair
    • Why things can never go back to “the way they were” pre-affair (and why that’s okay)
    • How to stop giving your power away (and create a healthy future for yourself, with or without your husband or affair partner)
    • 3 steps to get 100% clear on what you want (and create a realistic path to long-term happiness)

  • Why Women Leave

    Until the 1970s, women couldn’t file for divorce without hard evidence of abuse or infidelity. Today, divorce rates are skyrocketing - and it’s the women who are leaving in droves.

    In this episode, I explain what’s caused this massive shift in modern relationship dynamics. I also explore the biological differences between men and women and what causes imbalanced marriage satisfaction over the years.

    If you’ve ever wondered how your husband seems “fine” while you’re falling apart... don’t miss this special episode of The Loving Truth podcast.

    • The differences in how men and women find life satisfaction (and how this impacts relationship dynamics)
    • Why relationship coaches (including myself) primarily speak to women, not men
    • How today’s relationships differ from those of even one generation ago (and the resulting resentments we need to watch out for)
