Betsy's Brain Before HelloFresh...

"I do not cook." 

"I am not a cook."

"Tyler does the cooking in our household."

"Tyler and I learned a long time ago that if I try to do the cooking it is a waste of our food, money, time, and energy resources."

"I hate cooking." 

Betsy's Brain After HelloFresh...

"I'm having this strange sensation that all I want to do is cook something right now."

My sister took this picture of our son, Owen, at his first cross country meet this fall. 

I love this picture because you can see & feel the sheer determination, grit, and intrinsic motivation bursting through every muscle and cell of his being.

And it's exciting....because it wasn't always like this with Owen.

When he was in 3rd grade, Owen participated in a community event called The...

I'm sorry, but I personally am not willing to settle for a lifestyle that doesn't have a good deal of fun built into it.

Yes, I believe in working hard. Yes, I believe in being a responsible, upstanding citizen of the world. 

AND...for goodness sakes...life is constantly going to keep throwing things at us that are heavy & challenging & hard. We need to counter...

Have you noticed that now that the pandemic dust is settling here in the US, people are more willing to have serious conversations about how to make systemic changes regarding issues that have plagued us for a long time?

I have been listening and observing leaders & employees, tired mamas & exhausted dads...they are all echoing the same sentiment. "Somethings gotta give in terms of how...

One of our favorite aspects of coaching is the moment when people DECIDE that they are going to try something new. It's a big deal for most people to get out of their comfort zones, take a risk, and approach a part of their lifestyle differently.

We've found that this is particularly true in the area of romantic relationships. What's often the case is that one person wants to try something new,...

On Sunday night, Tyler and I got a text from one of our most recent Couples Connection couples. It's a photo of their love jars that they created after doing Module 4. This is why we love what we do! 

They've been texting us along the way with these messages:

"Module 1 has been such a nice way for us to reconnect."

"After doing Modules 2 & 3, we're realizing that we don't have all...

Hey There! 

If you've been following along with us and are interested in our Couples Connection course but aren't sure if it's for you, take 10 minutes to peel back the curtain and get a better sense of what it's like. 

This video is from a presentation we did recently and we only had 10 minutes to present, so we had to make it snappy! 

If you're ready to say, "I'm...

Is your relationship feeling the groundhog's day effect? We've got a thing for that. It's called Module 4 of our Couples Connection course and it's where we finally get to talk about sex, baby! 

We recommend doing modules 1-3 first so that you're building up the emotional and conversational intimacy with each other, but some folks just dive on in to module 4 right away...

Have you ever wanted to talk about your relationship with your partner, but they got irritated or annoyed and said, “I don’t want to talk about this”?

Have you felt frustrated that you’re not connecting with your partner and you’re not even sure what’s going on or why?

We did, too. Just like you, we truly wanted to feel close to each other and feel that...

"Did you change the furnace filter?"

"Do we need more eggs?"

"We have Ayla's teacher conference today at 4."

Not sure if you find yourselves in similar situations, but OMG do we fall into some serious non-spicy relationship ruts! Attempting to claw ones way out of the never.ending.to.do.list quicksand pit is no joke.

To an outsider looking in (or Alexa who is most likely spying on us), our...
