Mindset Monday:

Divorce changes you, but it doesn't have to break you. Every challenge you face is an opportunity to become stronger, wiser, and more authentically yourself. 💫

02/24/2025

Self-care isn't just bubble baths and face masks. Sometimes it's setting firm boundaries, making tough decisions, and choosing yourself even when it's difficult. 💗💕💪

02/20/2025

Sometimes self-love means letting go of what no longer serves you – whether it's relationships, beliefs, or old patterns.
What are you ready to release? 🕊️

Tuesday Tip: Take one step at a time.

No divorce transition journey is linear. Some days will feel easier than others, and that's perfectly normal. Be gentle with yourself on the harder days. You're exactly where you need to be. 🌈

Monday Mantra: Fill in the blank - and drop a comment below ⬇️💗

Your worth isn't measured by your relationship status. It's measured by your kindness, your strength, your resilience, and the love you carry in your heart. You are enough, exactly as you are. ✨

A blessing for the brokenhearted on this Valentine’s Day Weekend.
Thank you, Jan Richardson for threading your words and art together for those of us who struggle to make sense of all that falls apart. 💗

As I was creating this artwork, I thought about how astonishingly fragile we are. I don’t know how to bear the fragility except to bear it together—to keep holding each other’s hearts. I thought also, as always, about those whose hearts have newly broken since this time last year, as well as those who have lived in and with and through the brokenness for a long time. For all who love and ache and love still, this blessing is for you. Every single day.

BLESSING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED

“There is no remedy for love but to love more.”
—Henry David Thoreau

Let us agree
for now
that we will not say
the breaking
makes us stronger
or that it is better
to have this pain
than to have done
without this love.

Let us promise
we will not
tell ourselves
time will heal
the wound,
when every day
our waking
opens it anew.

Perhaps for now
it can be enough
to simply marvel
at the mystery
of how a heart
so broken
can go on beating,
as if it were made
for precisely this—

as if it knows
the only cure for love
is more of it,

as if it sees
the heart’s sole remedy
for breaking
is to love still,

as if it trusts
that its own
persistent pulse
is the rhythm
of a blessing
we cannot
begin to fathom
but will save us
nonetheless.

✨ Happy Galentine's Day to my fierce flower garden of women! 💐

Here's the truth: every woman needs a whole garden of friendships to bloom:

🌹 Prayer warriors for the soul-deep moments
🌸 The "let's get it done" queens who show up with moving trucks and wine
🌻 Cheerleaders who hype us up when we're doubting ourselves
🌿 Nature girls who get us out hiking when we're stuck in our heads
🎨 Creative spirits who help us see beauty again
💪 Gym buddies who keep us strong (and listen to our drama on the treadmill)
🧘‍♀️ Gentle souls who talk us down from bad decisions
📊 Money-smart friends who help us build our future
🎭 The comedians who keep us laughing through tears
💝 Heart-holders who just sit with us in the hard moments

To every woman who's been part of my bouquet - thank you for being my light in the dark. For showing up. For showing out. For reminding me that a garden of girlfriends is worth more than any Valentine's treasure. ✨

Listen sisters - collect ALL these flowers. The more diverse your bouquet, the stronger you'll be when storms come. And trust me, having weathered my own storm, these soul sisters are the ones who'll help you find the rainbow. 🌈

Drop a 🌸 in the comments to celebrate your ride-or-die girls! Tag the women who've helped you bloom. Spread the Galentine's love 💕

Gentle reminder: grief and gratitude can co-exist. It's okay to miss the good times while still knowing you made the right decision. Honoring your feelings without judgment is an act of self-love. 🌺

. . . After spending 7 years married and nearly 9 years together, my ex and I separated in early 2024, finalizing our divorce later in the year. In the beginning, I felt lost and rudderless, but I knew that I needed to be present for my six-year-old son and prioritize my own health, psyche, and well-being. I had to find my center.

I met Leah through a divorce class at a local Indy organization and reached out to her for a meeting and consult. Together, we developed a comprehensive 12-week plan starting around Thanksgiving to stay on track in all facets of well-being, from health and wellness to diet, scheduling and time management, relationship advice, connections with family and friends, and personal and spiritual growth.

Leah's warmth and enthusiasm created a familial atmosphere—like having a best friend who supports you every step of the way. She is meticulous, organized, and on-point without applying undue pressure. I thoroughly enjoyed our weekly in-person and video coaching sessions. Leah's motivation helped me follow through on the goals we set out to achieve together.

My goals included personal fitness, with a target of losing 50 pounds. With Leah's guidance, I was able to drop 20 pounds over the 12 weeks of my sessions with her. My doctor noted that I was in the best health I've seen in the past decade. I also aimed to improve my meditation practices, spiritual growth, and stress relief. With Leah’s help, I accomplished these goals through reading, stretching, yoga, breathing exercises, and embracing nature, which I find to be the ultimate stress reliever. I reconnected with family and friends and carefully explored dating, being very intentional every step of the way, and eventually found someone special who truly feels like my person. It has been wonderful, and it feels like we were meant to be together.

As Leah always underscored, this is a second chance to find yourself, discover your person, and open up a world of possibilities. Reconnect with what’s most important—self-improvement, family, friends, and the belief that the best is yet to come, even if it’s hard to see in the short term.

Leah is an incredible life coach, and more importantly an incredible and warm and genuine person. I hope this review of our journey together provides a good overview of my experience and the possibilities of what is possible and how the best is yet to come. You have to believe it: -)"

Grateful for clients like Michael who make this work its own reward. 💗

As I’m tuning in with my kids tonight to watch the Eagles and the Chiefs off for Super Bowl LVIX, I’m reminiscing about my 2003 season with the Indianapolis Colts. That year, our heartbreaking AFC Championship loss denied us a Super Bowl appearance in Houston – the same year I could have danced in Janet Jackson’s controversial halftime show.

From the NFL sidelines to divorce transition coaching, my journey has come full circle. On the field, I learned what it meant to perform under pressure and face adversity with grace. I’ve experienced the peaks of feeling “chosen,” the valleys of rejection, and the triumph of choosing myself- and a winning team for this new season of life. All of these lessons carried me through my own divorce and in my work helping my clients. I learned to lean in with empathy and strength, and I discovered my ability to help others find their footing when they feel most off-balance.

The journey from NFL cheerleader to divorce transition coach might seem unexpected, but it makes perfect sense to me. While I may no longer wear the Colts uniform, I carry the lessons of that experience into every coaching session. I love helping clients choreograph their own comeback stories, and it’s only natural for me to cheer them on along the way.

Whether it’s on the sidelines or through major life changes, I know this much is true: sometimes our biggest disappointments lead to our greatest purpose.

Your happiness isn't dependent on another person. It's found in the small moments of joy you create for yourself, the dreams you pursue, and the love you give yourself. Look for the glimmers. Even if you have to squint.

What brings YOU joy? 🌟

"Dating yourself is just as important as dating others. Take yourself out, buy yourself flowers, write yourself love notes. Fall in love with your own company. 🌹

Your past relationships don't define your worth. Lessons can shape you, but they don't determine your future. You're writing a new story now – make it one you love. ✍️
