🌿 My Story 🌿

I was married at 22, during college, to my first husband, Tom. We shared so many of the things that make a relationship feel alive: watching movies with subtitles, drinking really good coffee, wandering through bookstores, and discovering new music together.

In the beginning, we shared a vision for our future too. We both wanted a family.

But over time, something shifted.

What started as small differences slowly became bigger ones. Our 13-year marriage didn’t fall apart overnight. It gradually turned into two people living parallel lives, pursuing different dreams and growing in different directions.

And then we reached a point we couldn’t ignore.

We had begun walking through infertility together. We tried. We went to therapy. We worked at it.

But underneath all of that, something deeper had changed.

I knew I still wanted children. And he knew he didn’t.

Not just the idea of children, but the responsibility of a family, a home, a dog, a shared life.

Not explosive. Not dramatic. But clear.

We loved each other, but we were no longer building the same future.

So we made the decision to part ways amicably, with respect, and moved forward into new chapters of our lives.

Later, I married my husband, Craig. We’ve now been together for over 25 years. Our journey hasn’t been simple.

We faced infertility again and ultimately built our family through adoption.

We raised three children while both pursuing our careers, which brought its own challenges, pressures, and seasons of disconnection.

There were times when we slipped into autopilot. We became more like roommates than partners.

After 30 years as a teacher, I left the classroom during the pandemic and found my way to life coaching, where I became certified and began doing deeper work on my own relationship while helping others navigate theirs.

Today, I exclusively help women over 50 who find themselves in that quiet, in-between space.

Where the relationship may feel broken, and it definitely doesn’t feel the way it used to.

Women who don’t necessarily want to leave, but don’t want to keep living like this either.

Not ready to leave, but not wanting to live like this anymore.

Because I’ve seen this firsthand:

Sometimes relationships truly are complete. But many aren’t.

Many have simply drifted and can be rebuilt with the right understanding and support.

Helping women find clarity so they can decide what’s possible, and what they truly want next.
