A mixed faith marriage and a faith transition are not light lifts. They can be really intense.
Are you taking care of yourself?
In this episode I talk about the four pillars of self care:
1. Boundaries
2. Self Compassion
3. Value Based Decisions
4. Self Empowerment

Here I talk about how to take your marriage off a pedestal to prevent or release a build up of stress and pressure.

I hear two phrases on the regular in my coaching practice.
This is not what I signed up for.
This is not how it’s supposed to be.
I want to suggest that you are right. This is not how it’s supposed to be and not what you signed up for.
AND staying in that mindset is like staying in waves that keep crashing you against the rocks.
Here I talk about leaving the “supposed to’s” behind if that makes sense to you.

General Conference can be a tense time in a Mormon mixed faith marriage. We used to spend the weekend chilling on the couch and playing bingo with our kids.
Then it became this tense time where everyone was on eggshells.
It doesn’t have to stay that way. In this podcast I walk you though some questions to help take a more intentional approach to conference weekend.

There is a cycle I see where we start to hide things from our spouse because we are afraid of judgment and/or afraid of rocking the boat. This hiding is done to protect the relationship but it doesn’t work out that way. Hiding often creates disconnection. This podcast episode discusses why we hide, its unintended consequences and provides some ways to overcome the tendency to hide.
