Self advocacy

Amber H.

For a long time, I was told how to feel, how to dress, how any original idea I had was wrong. I got programmed into believing that I didn’t know what was best for me and that I sounded ignorant whenever I tried to voice my opinion. When I finally broke free of the toxicity of that relationship, I found it difficult to express myself to doctors and therapists, even friends and family, because I was so full of self doubt. I couldn’t even order food at a restaurant because it filled me with crippling anxiety. Finding my own voice has been challenging and not without setbacks. My first step in advocating for myself was learning that most people are forgiving and supportive when they are given the opportunity to be. This has helped me to gain the confidence I needed to be able to ask for help, let the person know what kind of help I do need and, most importantly, what I’d like to order from the menu:)

Everyday stressors

Amber H.

Sometimes we can’t pinpoint exactly why we are feeling down or overwhelmed, we just are. I understand that all to well because I experience this often. Because I have a history with depression and anxiety, I know how important it is to talk through our everyday stressors and get an outsiders perspective. I am here to listen and support you through this. I can reassure you that you aren’t alone in feeling overwhelmed and I can offer suggestions and techniques I’ve used to stay grounded in the moment.

Healing insecure attachment in romantic relationships

Andria L.

I used to be a serial monogamist who hated being alone. I was caught in a cycle of craving closeness and then panicking when I got it. My relationships were intense, filled with anxiety, jealousy, and the kind of overthinking that makes a text message feel like life or death. I cheated in past relationships and carried deep shame around it until I finally started to understand the why behind it all. I had grown up with a lot of dysfunction and addiction in my family, and those roots showed up in the way I attached to others. Therapy was not easy for me at first—I actually avoided it for a while. But once I leaned in, I started healing my disorganized attachment and learning to be securely connected to myself first. That changed everything. I'm now 17 years into a healthy, loving marriage, and I’ve helped others untangle their own painful patterns too. From decoding the bratty behavior that’s really a cry for love, to making peace with your inner panic, I’m here to support you in finding your version of calm, connected love.

Getting unstuck from “what’s next?” moments

Angela V.

I’ve hit the 'stuck' phase more than once—feeling like I was spinning my wheels, craving change, but unsure what direction to go. I used to think I needed to have a five-year plan or a perfectly clear vision before I could make a move. Turns out, I just needed to start asking better questions and be willing to take small, brave steps. Through journaling, coaching, reflection, and trial-and-error, I learned how to listen to my inner voice instead of outside noise. I got clear on my values and how I wanted to feel in my next chapter—not just what title I wanted. If you’re feeling restless, unsure, or stuck at a crossroads, I’d love to help you sort through the noise and get back to clarity.

Balancing work and family

Carrie M.

I used to think balance meant doing everything perfectly—being the ideal employee who never missed a deadline and the perfect parent who never missed a school event. The reality was exhausting. I was constantly feeling like I was failing at both roles, leaving work early with guilt and staying late while missing bedtime stories. I felt like I was letting everyone down while slowly losing myself in the process. The person I used to be seemed to disappear under the weight of all these competing demands. The turning point came when I realized that balance isn't about perfection—it's about making conscious choices about what matters most in each season of life. I had to get comfortable with trade-offs and stop trying to be everything to everyone. Some days work took priority, other days family came first, and slowly I learned to be okay with that ebb and flow. I also had to fight for small pockets of time that were just mine, even if it was just fifteen minutes with my coffee before everyone else woke up. What surprised me most was how my identity evolved through this process. I discovered that being a working parent didn't mean I had to choose between being successful professionally and being present for my family. Instead, I learned to integrate these roles in a way that felt authentic to me. I made peace with good enough in some areas so I could excel in others. If you're feeling stretched thin, guilty about your choices, or like you've lost yourself in the juggle, I understand that struggle intimately.

Navigating the challenges of finding the right childcare fit for your family

Lisa B.

As a mother of four, I’ve navigated the ups and downs of figuring out what type of childcare works best at each stage of my children’s lives. From infant care to toddler transitions to school-aged kids, every stage brings its own challenges and decisions. I’ve had to try different childcare arrangements—whether it was daycare, nannies, or Au Pairs—and each time, it felt like starting from scratch. There were moments of frustration, where I wondered if I’d ever find a balance between what my family needed and what was available. What I’ve learned along the way is that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Every family is unique, and what works for one may not be the right fit for another. But with each experience, I’ve come to understand how important it is to stay true to your family’s values, needs, and priorities. I’ve found that the key is staying open to different options and being willing to adjust as your children grow and their needs evolve. At the end of the day, finding the right childcare is about more than just convenience—it’s about ensuring your children are in a supportive, nurturing environment where they can thrive, and where your family can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I’ve had to make a lot of tough decisions, but through it all, I’ve learned to trust that the right fit will come with time, patience, and a willingness to be flexible.

How to change how you talk to ( and see) yourself

Nuran S.

For much of my life, I struggled with anger, believing it was a part of who I was and that change was impossible. I lived trapped in frustration, thinking the world and others were to blame for my unhappiness. But one day, I realized I could change. That small shift—understanding I didn’t have to stay stuck—was the beginning of my transformation. By acknowledging my anger and choosing to let go of things beyond my control, I began to cultivate peace within myself. It wasn’t an instant fix, but small, consistent changes—practicing mindfulness, gratitude, and self-acceptance—led to a more peaceful, balanced life. Today, I’m living proof that change is possible. Life is still full of challenges, but I’ve learned that peace comes from within. You can change too, and it starts with believing in your own ability to choose a different path.

Making hard relationship decisions with clarity and peace

Sami C.

I’ve made some of the hardest relationship decisions a woman can face—walking away from a long-term marriage after betrayal, and later ending a short-lived second marriage that I knew in my gut wasn’t right even before the wedding. In both cases, I battled feelings of guilt, fear, and confusion—especially as a woman of faith trying to do “the right thing.” I understand how isolating it feels when you’re stuck between what looks good on paper and what your soul is whispering. Whether you’re questioning a relationship, recovering from one, or just trying to hear your own voice again, I can help you find clarity and peace.

Setting SMART goals

Vanessa S.

For a long time, I’d set huge goals and then beat myself up when I didn’t reach them. I thought motivation alone would carry me, but when life hit hard, I lost steam, got discouraged, and stopped trying. I didn’t realize I was setting myself up to fail by not having a real plan. When I learned about SMART goals: setting goals that were Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, it changed everything. I started small. I tracked progress. I let go of the idea that everything had to happen overnight. And slowly, I started seeing real change. I built confidence, momentum, and most importantly, self-trust. If you’ve struggled with staying on track, feeling overwhelmed, or not knowing where to start, let’s talk. Setting goals isn’t just about success. It’s about healing and believing in yourself again.
