HOW TO BUILD A HAPPY, LASTING MARRIAGE
Replacing Limiting Beliefs with Empowering Beliefs
A Few of My Old Limiting Beliefs: I must be perfect in order to be loved. I am not lovable. I am a terrible mother if my children misbehave. God must not love me because my first husband died. God is stern and judgmental and is paused, waiting for me to do something...
A New Look at Failures
One day I was letting my mind drift...thinking about all the ways Jim and I had failed. We'd failed one another by treating each other so disrespectfully for several years (until we learned better.) Our children were hurt by the conflict we created in their family....
I Sky-Dived Into My Eighties
Why Sky-Dive? Because it's the best way to celebrate my eightieth birthday! This past year, I've been anticipating my eightieth birthday on March 7, 2025. I celebrated my seventieth by throwing myself a party and taking a glider ride over the Palomar Observatory in...
A Lost Dog
This is longer than my usual newsletter, but it's a story about a lost dog that continues to inspire me so I'm sharing it with you this week! Fall, 1977 It was a crisp November morning. Normally I revel in cool Autumn days, but I hadn’t been able to shake the...

How Can I Help Your Relationship With Yourself and Others?
I’m worried about being a “failure.”
We learn new skills by having them modeled for us or taking a class to learn. If you’ve had neither, how could you expect to know what to do? This is a courageous new step in seeking help, not in “failing” something you’ve never learned.
Do I have to do this with my partner?
We can work individually, though most of the time, I’ve found that it isn’t just one person creating the problem. When both people work together, there’s shared understanding, and practice, that makes these skills more effective.
I’m not sure if I’m ready for 1:1 relationship coaching.
I have a host of books, Relationship Rehab Show episodes, and courses to help you find the solutions you’re looking for, whether you desire to grow in your own skills, bond with a partner or heal family or stepfamily dynamics.
