On this episode of Happily Together, we sat down with Kristy Scher and talked about all things attunement.

Kristy began her career as a perinatal and neonatal nurse.  In her work with mothers and babies, Kristy realized she had a gift for nurturing attunement in new parents — the kind of loving, responsive presence with oneself that enables healthy, nurturing attachment and connection with another.

Kristy witnessed this in women again and again: when our need for attunement and nurturing is met, profound emotional and spiritual growth can happen organically.  And that we learn this kind of attunement in attuned-relationship with others.

Cultivating our capacity for exquisite self-attunement became the foundation of Kristy’s work.   She believes self-attunement, self-nurturing, and self-love feed a woman — and a full woman feeds the world.

In addition to working 1-on-1 with women and couples, Kristy writes and teaches about intimacy, relationships, and the spiritual path of motherhood.

In this episode, Kara gets open and honest about how she has been working through feeling like she's a burden as she decides to take an intentional pause in her life.

In this episode, we talk about moving from what we think we should or need to be doing to move our lives forward and embracing a new way forward. This new way forward is more about doing what feels good in our body today and following where inspiration is taking us - even if it's taking us from what we think we need to be doing or what we should be doing to move our lives forward.

On this episode, we had the chance to talk with Chief Visionary and Divorce Coach, Karen McMahon about all things divorce and more importantly -- how to heal and reinvent yourself.

Karen’s passion is to help men and women navigate the emotional difficulties of relationships, breakups and divorce. Your work together will open up the possibility that your current relationship challenges can lead to a rewarding voyage of self-discovery and an immensely more pleasing life experience.

Karen founded Journey Beyond Divorce in 2010, after discovering that the pain of dissolving her marriage had been the very stimulus for her personal transformation.

During her three and a half year tumultuous divorce, Karen’s life began to improve exponentially. With much hard work, she embraced her new life, created healthy friendships, found her true voice, and learned to set suitable boundaries and let go of what she could not control.

Learning to live a healthy enlivened life is something that we can share with our children creating thriving relationships with them while helping them grow emotionally strong and healthy.

Karen is the mother of two emerging adults, a graduate of the world’s leading coaching institute, Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and a Certified Member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Karen’s other accomplishments include work as a NYS Lobbyist, Health Advocate, Community Organizer, and Chairperson of a NYS non-profit organization, Director of Sales and Marketing, and successful small business owner.
