  • How to Get Your Soul Back After Divorce

    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.

    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.

  • The Truth About Guilt

    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.

  • Two Things Can Be True at Once

    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.

  • Ask Sharon: When Effort Isn’t Enough and Decisions Get Challenged

    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.

  • How to Navigate Heartbreak

    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.

  • Ask Sharon: Is Your Spouse Helping You Grow or Manipulating You?

    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.

  • Healing After an Affair: The Two-Step Process

    “Healing after an affair is possible. It’s just really hard work. But so are most things that are really important to us.”

    I’m sharing my two-step process for healing after an affair.

    I want you to know that while healing can be incredibly difficult, it’s absolutely possible.

    The first step is what I call “stopping the bleeding.”

    This is when we focus on addressing the immediate trauma and the deep pain of the betrayal. 

    The second step is all about understanding how the affair happened, what made the marriage vulnerable, and then beginning to rebuild trust.

    I won’t lie, this is hard work, but with the right support and a clear process, you can heal and move forward—whether that means healing your marriage or making the decision to move on.

  • Ask Sharon: Navigating Trust and Boundaries After Betrayal

    In this episode, I share real coaching moments where we tackle some of the toughest relationship questions.

    One member is struggling with her husband's ongoing friendship with his ex, even after an affair. She questions whether this connection is manipulation or emotional abuse.

    Another member shares her frustration with her husband's porn use, and how it makes her feel inadequate.

    The truth is, both situations require deep introspection and boundaries.

    It’s not about changing your partner—it’s about being clear on your own needs and feelings.

    Desire, trust, and emotional boundaries need attention, and you’re allowed to set them in your relationship.

    These issues don’t just affect the marriage, they affect your own self-worth and well-being.

  • 3 Myths About Desire That Keep Marriages Stuck

    After more than a decade of coaching women through marriage struggles, I’ve learned that desire in long-term relationships is widely misunderstood.

    We think it’s a magical feeling that appears when we’re with the “right” person, that it should always be spontaneous, and that focusing on our own pleasure is selfish.

    The truth is, desire takes effort, intention, and a willingness to be an active participant in creating it.

    Familiarity, daily responsibilities, and unresolved hurts can all drain desire.

    But we can bring it back by making space for spontaneity and adventure, planning intimacy so we can be present for it, and giving ourselves permission to care about our own pleasure.

    Desire doesn’t just happen—it’s something we can nurture if we choose.

  • Ask Sharon: Communication Comfort Zone

    Sometimes the ache in a marriage isn’t about the big betrayals or blowout fights. It’s about not feeling emotionally comforted by your partner.

    In this coaching conversation, I explore how our upbringing shapes what we expect from comfort and why our partner may not naturally offer it in the way we long for.

    I walk through how to express those needs clearly, without criticism, so they can be heard and received.

    I also share why it’s okay to build a “board of directors” of trusted people who can support you in different ways, instead of expecting one person to meet every need.

    It’s not about lowering your expectations… it’s about learning how to ask for what you need and giving your partner the chance to grow into it.
