THE MOMENT YOU REALIZE:  “I CAN’T LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE.”

June 09, 20252 min read

“…this coach—whoever she is—is seriously messing with your head…”

That’s what my client’s husband said after more than 25 years of marriage.
Why? Because she started changing.
She started remembering who she was.

A well-educated, high-achieving woman who had given up a dream career, spent decades managing the household, raising the kids, organizing everyone’s lives, and keeping herself so busy just to avoid the pain of feeling completely forgotten and invisible.
All while married to a man who expected control over everything—from which toothpaste she bought to how she expressed her own feelings.

When she started reclaiming her voice, it triggered something in him.
Anger. Blame. Gaslighting. Dismissiveness.
Because her clarity was disrupting the system. A system that worked great—for him.

But she had had enough. And through our work together, she began to feel what had long been buried:
Her value. Her voice. Her vision for something more.

I’ve heard this story again and again.

It breaks my heart.
And I’ve lived it myself.

There was a moment in my own marriage—on the outside, everything looked "fine"—when I realized with painful clarity:
If I had to retire with this man, I would shrivel up and die.
It was brutal. But it was true.
And it changed everything.

So, if you’ve ever had a moment like that—where your heart whispered, I can’t keep living like this,
I want you to know something:

You are not selfish.
You are not crazy.
You are not too late.

You’re just waking up.

And if you don’t know where to start, that’s okay. That’s why I’m here.
