Want to feel valued and appreciated by the woman in your life? Do her dishes!

Do Her Dishes

Don't buy red roses
at the flower shop!

She prefers lilac petals...

Actually, forget those too!

Do all her dishes instead!

Hand wash every single
dirty dish and plate
sitting in her sink.

Amaze her!

Watch her lean into
her Aphrodite energy.

She'll sigh with joy
Her eyes will get that
soft bedroom glow...

As she watches you do her dishes!

She briefly talked about Su***de Prevention Month, her work with Lady Gaga's Foundation, .official, and how a smile and showing people it's ok to be imperfect can save a life.

Surround yourself with people who celebrate, elevate, cherish and respect you. It feels different. Peaceful, happy, joyful. You are no longer holding your breath, bracing for judgements, criticisms, or feeling like you are not good enough.

Eat cake (or donuts) for breakfast! Savor each bite and pay attention to the color, texture, taste, and how it feels to eat each bite. Food is not good or bad, it just has different levels of nutritional value. Ask yourself if you actually want the donut or are craving joyful, novel experiences

Be honest... do you prioritize "me time?"

Do you start Monday mornings with coffee in bed, reading poetry, your favorite novel, or a book about relationships or self-improvement/success?

Or do you hit the snooze button 5x before jumping out of bed to grab a quick shower, while also judging yourself for staying in bed too long?

Self-care rituals make us feel good... they also set us up for success...

Reading and writing poetry changes our bodies and brains...

- it releases dopamine, increasing motivarion, creativity, and happiness

- it moves us out of fight/flight mode and into homeostasis/balance

- it improves our awareness of our thoughts, feelings, motivations,needs and goals

How do show your heart, mind, body, and soul love, adoration, and gratitude?

Ever heard people say "poetry is like therapy?"

Ancient Greeks often viewed poetry as medicine and "prescribed" poetry alongside other medical interventions...

Poetry brings into awareness the complexities within which our brain makes sense of our internal and external worlds by unifying thought and language, music and imagery in a clear manageable way...

Sound vibration has the capacity to rrturn our bofies to homeostasis and out of fight-flight-freeze reactions...

Poetry is the oldest form of written literature dating back 4,000+ years. It is also an oral tradition passed down through generations.

Struggling to create a new blended family built on mutual respect, trust, compassion and emotional safety?

It starts with empathy... and understanding the fears, concerns, and emotional needs of the people most affected by your marriage.

Your kids, stepkids, spouse, current and ex-in-laws, grandparents...

Sure, your new marriage should be a priority... unless it ignores or devalues the feelings of your kids and stepkids.

2nd marriages with stepkids have a 70% divorce rate... so joining with your stepkids or acknowledging their feelings can literally save your marriage.

Divorce and Co-Parenting Coaching

Divorce is not death, though it can feel like someone just died. Creating a collaborative co-parenting relationship with your ex can make a root canal look like a walk in the park. Let us help you navigate the choppy waters of post-divorce relationships.

Sometimes, co-parenting coaching involves sessions with both parents together. Other times, it is better to meet with parents privately and have some sessions together when they are ready.

Divorce and co-parent coaching is not therapy. While coaches and therapists both help clients, coaches focus on here and now, with less of an emphasis on emotions, and a large focus on goal planning, accountability, learning and implementing skills of collaborative conflict resolution, peaceful parenting, assertiveness training and mindfulness.
