Here’s What Other Women Have Said
“I found the 10 tips you provided on the recording very beneficial. I even put the Empowering Questions in my phone to glance at during the day to keep me positive, so thank you! When we hit a rough patch, I refer to those. You know, what are the ways has be helped me, why is it great having him in my life…because in my mind technically, I’ve never thought that way. You have to train your mind to be positive and optimistic, and I’ve just found that to be very, very, very, very helpful. Keeping it in my cell phone it’s easily accessible to refer back to. I know I will be a better person after this program!”
– Tracey, Busy mother of 1, married 4 years
“I actually feel like having these modules is like having a security blanket. I’ve ready over my notes 7 or 8 times. I’m constantly reviewing what I did in my head. After our call, I hit a rough patch with my mother. Then I realized, oh my God, it’s not just about my husband! It was great, I was able to relate differently to my mom. I love that this is not just for my mate, but for anyone in my life. It’s about understanding my own expectations, asking, what if it’s just in my manual? It surprised me that not everyone thought like me…it was pretty earth shaking for me. I can chew over the thoughts again, again, and again and knowing that I’ll always have the modules will help me to grow.”
– Janele, Nursing student, mother of 1, married 12 years
“When I think about the material you offer, there is so much there. Before, when I think of my walking out of therapy , we went through a number of sessions where we were only getting information out, and not getting any tools, and we were paying $140 for 50 minutes! Working with you, I always walk away with something to do, a tool to use, or a new way of seeing things.”
– Tanya, Senior director, mom of 2, married 8 years
