Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in marital woes and discontent. I believe wholeheartedly in acknowledging, processing, and identifying triggers and being honest with our mates about what "our new normal," looks like and how external stressors add to marriage conflict.

Finally, for families in conflict, consider making today the first day of changes, though small, that are needed to navigate into a better future.

Life is not always easy and no one gets through unscathed. We all have been dealt different life experiences which could be responsible for both physical and mental pain, loss, psychological trauma, and emotional distress in your life. Are you at that point where you feel mentally, emotionally, or physically stuck? Do you care deeply about the people in your life but are feeling uncertain how to strengthen those relationships?

There are times throughout our lives when we feel stuck. Wanting to move forward, out of the darkness and into the light but not knowing how to take that first step and often not having the energy to do so. Sometimes that feeling of being stuck or the heaviness that comes with it, just comes out of nowhere leaving us confused and frustrated. Other times it is because we are moving through some pretty big life changes and we start to doubt ourselves and our worth. You have everything you need within you to heal, to move forward, to start over, and to live the life you you have always dreamed of. Allow me to help lighten your load.
