I remember walking through my neighborhood one chilly afternoon, coffee in hand, sunglasses on even though the sun had dipped low. I was hoping no one would see the tears quietly slipping down my face. From the outside, I looked like a woman deep in thought. But inside, I was unraveling.

I wasn’t sure if my marriage was ending or if I was just falling apart.

I didn’t recognize myself anymore—not in the mirror, not in my marriage, and not in the quiet moments when I could no longer deny the aching truth: Something wasn’t right.

If you’re here reading this, you may be wondering the same thing. Is this a rough patch… or are you standing on the edge of something bigger?

Here are some signs it might be time to take an honest look at your marriage—and your future. Not to scare you. Not to push you into action. But to remind you: you’re not alone, and you have options.

The Communication Is Gone—or It’s Turned Toxic

If your conversations are purely logistical—about the kids, the calendar, or what’s for dinner—while the real, vulnerable conversations have vanished, you’re not imagining it. The emotional connection is fading.

On the flip side, if conversations regularly spiral into sarcasm, criticism, or contempt, that’s not “just how healthy couples fight.” That’s emotional erosion—and over time, it drains your spirit.

You Feel More Like Roommates (or Rivals) Than Partners

Whether it’s a lack of physical intimacy or the sense that you have nothing in common anymore, this quiet disconnection is one of the most painful places to be. It often happens slowly—until one day, you realize the warmth is gone, and so is the friendship.

When Resentment Hangs in the Air
​It often begins quietly—with small disappointments, unmet needs, or boundaries that slowly get ignored. You tell yourself it’s not worth the fight. You let it go. Until one day, all those unspoken moments have built something between you. Not connection, but a wall. And once resentment moves in, it rarely leaves on its own.

Abuse is Present—Even if It Doesn’t Leave Bruises

This one needs to be said: abuse isn’t always physical. If your partner controls the finances, isolates you, manipulates your emotions, or leaves you feeling unsafe, unseen, or chronically afraid—you are not overreacting. You are not too sensitive. You are not the problem.

You deserve safety, emotionally and physically. Full stop.

You’ve Tried to “Fix It,” But You’re the Only One Doing the Work

It is exhausting being the one carrying the emotional load. If your partner refuses to engage in counseling, dismisses your concerns, or makes you feel foolish for wanting more—take it as a sign that it’s time to look at the bigger picture.

You Can’t Stop Wondering What Life Would Be Like If You Left

Daydreaming about life alone—or with someone else—isn’t just an idle thought. It’s often your inner wisdom trying to get your attention. Especially if those thoughts bring relief instead of fear.

You’ve Outgrown the Life You Built Together

People evolve. Sometimes, painfully, they don’t grow in the same direction. You may realize you want different things—different values, lifestyles, or even just peace over chaos. That doesn’t make you selfish. That makes you human.

So… Now What?

First, take a breath. This isn’t about making a rash decision. It’s about honoring your truth.

The most important work you can do in this moment is NOT to hire an attorney or start reallocating household items. The first, most powerful step is asking yourself:

What kind of life do I want moving forward?​
​Who do I want to be in the midst of this unraveling?​
​What kind of example do I want to set for my children—young or grown?

Even adult children feel the tremors of their parents’ divorce. It’s not just about custody schedules and shared holidays. It’s about rewriting the family narrative—and that can feel overwhelming without the right support.

Supporting You Through This Journey

I’m not here to fix your marriage. I’m here to help you reconnect with yourself, understand the patterns that have shaped your relationship, and find a path forward that honors your values. Whether that path leads to healing your relationship or making the difficult decision to move on, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

You don’t have to navigate this process alone. If you’re wondering, “Is this the end?”—it might just be the beginning of something new, something better for you.

Let’s talk. Schedule a free consultation with me and let’s explore where you are, where you want to be, and how we can get you there with grace, compassion, and clarity.

You don’t have to have it all figured out—just be willing to take the first step.

Love and Light,

I don’t know about you, but for me, this is a lesson that seems to resurface time and time again.

Think about it—when your heart has been broken by someone you love, where do you feel the pain? And more importantly, what do you do with it? Do you vent to your friends about how victimized you feel? Do you push it away, pretending everything is fine while burying the hurt deep inside? Or maybe, like I once did, you build walls around yourself, believing they’ll protect you from ever feeling that kind of pain again.

And then there’s the pain that manifests in our bodies—back pain, shoulder pain, inflammation, illness, chronic disease, and more. Often, these physical symptoms can be traced back to a broken heart. And let’s be clear: heartbreak isn’t always about romance. The wounds we carry come in all shapes and sizes—some so old and familiar that we barely notice the weight of them anymore.

Like many of you, I’ve had my heart broken, even shattered, more times than I can count. And I have to admit—somewhat embarrassingly—that the common thread in those experiences was me. I kept repeating the same patterns, attracting the same situations, and ignoring the truth: if I wanted a different outcome, I had to make a change within myself first. Looking back, I can see how these patterns affected not just my emotional well-being but my physical health too.

A while back, I found myself feeling low and discouraged despite all my efforts to live what I teach. It happens. It felt like everything around me was falling apart, and before I knew it, I had slipped into an old, familiar story: “not good enough.” A story I had spent years rewriting.

“I don’t even know what triggered this,” I told a friend.

Without hesitation, she responded, “Sometimes your heart needs to break—to crack open—so the light can come in.”

That was exactly what I needed to hear. A gentle reminder that light is always available to me when I choose to see things differently.

I could feel how tightly I had been clinging to some old, worn-out fears that had quietly slipped in through the back door. Before I knew it, they had hijacked my mind, creating chaos and darkness within. It was a familiar pattern—but this time, I knew I had a choice.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and my body softened as I visualized light pouring into my heart. In that moment, I understood I needed to change something within me if I wanted to experience something different outside of me.

Now, I’m not a medical doctor, and I would never suggest disregarding medical treatment prescribed by a licensed physician or therapist. But I am suggesting that when pain shows up—whether emotional or physical—it’s worth getting curious about what it might be trying to tell you. Maybe it’s nudging you toward a change. Maybe it’s time to shift something within.

Divorce can feel like a slow unraveling, especially after a long marriage.

You look around and find yourself standing in the middle of a life you no longer recognize. The roles you once played—wife, partner, half of a “we”—are gone, and in their place is… what, exactly?

That question can feel heavier than anything else. Because when you’ve spent decades building a life with someone, it’s not just about losing the relationship—it’s about losing the rhythm of your days, the familiar conversations, the shared plans for the future. It’s now about walking into a quiet house and feeling the weight of that silence in a way you never have before.

And so, you stay home. You retreat. You tell yourself you just need time to figure things out.

Honestly, isolation has a way of making the hardest parts even harder.

I know this because I lived it.

Sure, I had friends who checked in, but the idea of going out just to be “social” felt exhausting. I convinced myself that I just needed to rest and take care of myself.

But alone is a tricky place. It can be peaceful, yes. But it can also be the kind of quiet that turns into self-doubt, into sadness, into wondering if this is all there is.

Then one evening, my cousin called. She wasn’t asking how I was or offering advice—she just said, “We’re getting dinner on Friday. I’ll pick you up.” She didn’t give me the chance to overthink it.

That night, for the first time in what felt like forever, I felt more like my Self—not just someone in the middle of a divorce, but a woman with a life still unfolding, still capable of joy, still on the path to what’s next.

That’s the thing about connection. It shifts your energy, your environment, your perspective. You just need to say yes to one invitation, one conversation, one moment that reminds you: life isn’t just happening to you, it’s still happening for you.

Maybe it’s saying yes to lunch with your sister, even if it feels easier to say no. Maybe it’s signing up for that class you’ve been curious about, or even just sitting in a café instead of at home. The point is, do something to get yourself reconnected with the world.

It’s not just about being social—it’s about redefining who you are in this next chapter.

If you’re struggling to see what comes next, let’s talk. I help people just like you navigate this exact moment—the space between who you were and who you are becoming.

And I promise you this: There is so much more ahead than you can see right now.

Digital Spring Cleaning

Open your phone or computer and delete three apps or files that no longer serve you—old screenshots, unopened documents, a game you never play. With each deletion, breathe out and imagine clearing mental clutter as well as digital.

Taking care of yourself, both mentally and physically, is crucial as you navigate life transitions. You’re not alone, and there is a path forward, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. If you know someone that could use a little boost of Self Care, please feel free to share this tip with them by hitting the button below.

For a long time, I was convinced life was happening to me. People let me down, situations felt unfair, and no matter how hard I tried, it seemed like I was always scrambling to keep up. And I had proof—real, tangible reasons why my struggles were someone else’s fault. If they had just been different, if circumstances had just worked out the way they shouldhave, I wouldn’t have been left picking up the pieces.

That belief felt safe. It made sense.

And it kept me completely stuck.

Then I came across Dr. Wayne Dyer’s words: “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.” And to be honest, at first, I resisted it. Because if that was true, it meant the power wasn’t in them changing—it was in me changing how I saw things. And I wasn’t sure I was ready for that kind of responsibility.

Blame Feels Comfortable—But It’s a Trap

Let’s be real: blaming others can be oddly satisfying. It lets us off the hook. It gives us a clear villain in our story. But here’s the thing—when we see ourselves as just the recipientof what life hands us, we also give up our ability to change anything. If we’re waiting for someone else to be different before we can be happy, we could be waiting forever.

The real shift happened for me when I started asking a different question: What if this isn’t just about what’s happening to me, but about how I’m seeing it?

That person who hurt me? Maybe they weren’t just cruel—maybe they were operating from their own wounds. That season of my life that felt like failure? Maybe it was actually preparing me for something better. The moments I thought had broken me? Maybe they were the very things shaping me into someone stronger, wiser, and—dare I say it—even more open-hearted.

I will say that once I started shifting my perspective, things did change. Not overnight, not without effort, and definitely not without many moments of frustration—but they changed. In truth, I changed (and continue to learn and grow every day).

Growth Happens When We Stop Going It Alone

I won’t pretend I figured this all out by myself. I had help. I needed people who could call me out (lovingly) when I was slipping into my old narratives. I needed guidance to see beyond my own blind spots. And having the right support made all the difference. Because the truth is, we can only take ourselves so far before we need someone to hold up a mirror and say, Hey, have you considered looking at this a little differently?

So if you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or just plain exhausted by the way things seem to be going, consider this: What if nothing outside of you has to change for you to feel different? What if the clarity, the peace, the strength you’re searching for isn’t waiting for the world to cooperate, but waiting for you to see it in a new way?

That shift—small as it may seem—is where everything begins. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

And that, my friend, is where real transformation starts.

Love and Light,

Sky Appreciation

Step outdoors and look up. Observe the sky for a full, uninterrupted minute. Notice the colors, the shapes of clouds, or the clear emptiness. Feel yourself connected to something vast and ever-changing. Let this simple observation remind you that there’s space for your own growth, too.

Taking care of yourself, both mentally and physically, is crucial as you navigate life transitions. You’re not alone, and there is a path forward, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.
