Navigating Divorce, Empowered Decisions, and Finding Joy in Your Relationship with Cindy Stibbard

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a relationship, unsure whether to stay or leave, this episode is packed with clarity, tools, and tough love you need to finally break free from indecision.
I’m joined by Cindy Stibbard, a Certified Divorce & Relationship Coach who helps people step out of what she calls indecision purgatory - that painful, stuck-in-the-middle place where you feel frozen between staying and leaving. As a single mom who’s navigated both divorce and widowhood, Cindy knows the courage it takes to create a life you actually want.
In this episode, we cover everything from the mindset that keeps us stuck to practical steps for getting out of limbo, including:
Cindy’s journey into divorce and relationship coaching - and how it’s different from therapy or hiring a lawyer
Using a relationship audit and analytical approach to stop taking everything personally
The impact of kids on relationships, and why staying together “for the kids” isn’t always the best choice
How parents’ relationships shape our beliefs about love, boundaries, and compromise
Accepting less than we’re worth, dating after divorce, and why leaving can feel harder than staying
Navigating conflict, communication, and infidelity in a way that’s healthy and not toxic
Preparing yourself for divorce and having the hard conversations you’ve been avoiding
How your relationship should be a place of joy, not guilt or resentment
Understanding masculine vs. feminine energy and how it impacts what you want from a partner
Choosing a partner before vs. after kids, meeting each other’s needs, and finding alignment
Lessons from our own family dynamics, personal divorce experiences, and how to stop holding yourself back
Applying authenticity in business and relationships - keeping the humanity, ditching the autopilot

Self Trust, Releasing Control, & Making Yourself Right with Kaitlyn Kessler

Last year, I invested in a mastermind for 12 months that helped me change the way I build my business - from hustling and doing the most to creating ease and growing intuitively. It changed the way I think, plan, and take action, and today, I am so excited to welcome my business & energetics coach from that program, Kaitlyn Kessler to the show!
In this episode, we chat about:
Kaitlyn’s journey moving to Spain, retiring her husband & how her business has supported her through it all
not subscribing to hustle culture or feeling bad/guilty for not working constantly, creating a schedule that feels good
more details about my wedding and honeymoon coming up sooooon! (including families meeting and navigating big personalities)
Kaitlyn’s new EASE offer ecosystem, and her journey creating it
the need for low ticket offers in these uncertain times, and more accessibility in your business
speaking to your ideal client, knowing what you want to be known for, and using that to lead your messaging, content, offers, business, etc.
letting things evolve - you get to change your mind! And HBO Max as the perfect example of this (with good marketing too)
the power of making yourself right - no matter what
not controlling everything about your business - the need for hobbies as an outlet and a practice of letting go, being in flow, and having fun
conversations and themes in the online business world around this year
releasing expectations around getting results from specific actions
being told what to do vs. finding what feels good & works for YOU
self-trust, knowing you’ve got your own back no matter what
not looking outside yourself for the answers, and investing from an empowered place, not a “fix me” place
