This is a different episode than I’ve done before. With my amazing client’s permission, I break down the major elements of our 6 months of work together, and how she’s going to keep our work alive after we part ways.

One of the main reasons people seek out coaching is because they want something to change, whether it's behavior, habits, or perspective. And when you have a coach, you have some built-in accountability to act on making those changes happen.

But what happens when our time together ends? My clients receive the tools to move forward and keep creating what they want to see in her life without me. With this particular client, we spent our final session going over all the changes she wanted to implement as a result of what she learned about herself and her relationship in coaching.

That’s what I shared in today’s podcast episode, in hopes that you’ll find some ideas and inspiration behind the scenes of a private coaching session.

Listen in and find out:

• How to define what really matters to you

• The impact of support and where to find it

• Effective ways to make your goals your new normal

Bridgerton is so special to me. I read all the books when they were written twenty years ago. I was reading On the Way to the Wedding, the last book in the series, on the weekend that my husband proposed in Costa Rica. So these characters and stories mean a lot to me!

I used to read the books and think why isn’t anyone making a movie out of this? So when the show was announced, it was a fangirl dream come true. When the newest season was announced, I declared it my own holiday of Bridgerton Day. Yes I put it on the calendar and everything! I even asked my husband to stay home from work and watch with me. At the end of episode 4, I cried. I too was a late bloomer and it just hit me right in the feels.

Once I finished watching season 3, I knew I wanted to make an episode to share some of my favorite observations, applied to marriage and relationships.

And no you don’t have to love Bridgerton as much as I do to get something useful from this episode, but if you have never seen the show and have no interest in it, skip this one. I mention spoilers and character situations very specifically that might not be as much fun if you don’t know who and what I am talking about.

I ended up with 10 concepts to share with you in this episode that I believe will land with you no matter where you are in your relationship currently. I also make a big announcement on this episode so you are definitely going to want to check that out, especially if you have been waiting for me to open up private coaching spots.

If you have seen the show and find it fun, this episode is for you! Enjoy!

• Understanding what you need to thrive

• Why consent is so sexy

• The right way to wear rose-colored glasses

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I am joined by the wonderful Brig Johnson, one of my favorite humans on the whole planet. She is a master certified life coach who helps high-achieving women become un-fuck-withable. Her philosophy is that the more we can connect with and accept ourselves, the more we can connect with and accept others.

Brig is someone who leads with compassion, wisdom, love, and science and I love her for it.

Our conversation today delves into ambivalence in our marriage or relationship. We all have different seasons of life where we’ll have to deal with ambivalence, and knowing how to approach it effectively is such a skill! How do we really feel about this issue? Our feelings can be so mixed or even contradictory… How do we know which thread to follow?

Brig is here to help us with that today.

She’s sharing her deep wisdom and understanding about how to trust yourself, and the things that get in the way of feeling safe in our relationships. Most importantly, Brig is teaching us how to approach getting out of ambivalence and “going all in” with love and acceptance for ourselves and our partner.

It’s SO good. Give our discussion a listen and check out the resources linked below to get the most out of this episode.
