A guide for navigating the terrain between who you’ve been, who you’re becoming, and how you love along the way.
Quick catch-up...

Dear Reader, it feels like so much has happened that I don't know where to start... How are you? Did you have a nice August? What's good, what's new, what do you have going on for the remainder of the year? I have been over here posting ENFJ videos on writing, communication, conflict, decision-making, and Linda Berens' Envisioner Mentor descriptions. We have also hosted several visitors, plonked out on the terrace, and read a considerable number of novels: for me, the Crescent City series by Sarah Maas (plus I'm on the 3rd book of Court of Thorns and Roses - what is it about pseudo-feminist fantasy?? I'm not really asking, just let me enjoy this ;-)), Elizabeth George (#LynleyandHaversforever), Marian Keyes (hilarious), and Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty - thoroughly recommend. Mo enjoyed The Marble Hall Murders by Horowitz and is on one of Bob Mortimer's now. Speaking of escapism/consumerism, we subscribed to Netflix again and if you haven't watched Dept Q yet - do. Hostage was alright, Zero Day is starting off pretty strong (we just saw ep 1 last night), and we finished re-watching seasons 1 and 2 of Fisk so we can start season 3 with gusto tonight. I never got into The Office, but all the Fisk characters are so great. As is Billy Connolly's "Windswept and Interesting" audiobook, narrated by himself. As for the remainder of the year, I'm doubling down on trying to reach and support individuals and couples with these topics: Differences in Desire – When one partner wants sex more often or in different ways than the other, creating tension and frustration. Lost Spark – When intimacy feels routine or almost nonexistent, and you’re longing to reconnect. Intimate Communication – Struggling to share needs, boundaries, or fantasies without conflict or shame. Exploring New Relationship Styles – Considering polyamory or opening up the relationship in a clear, consensual way. While my plan is to allocate more energy and resources into building an in-person presence in my new hometown, I'll always be available to provide services virtually via Zoom as well. So, if a friend or colleague is mentioning any of these to you, I would love a referral! :-) Cheers for now, PS: Interested in something more tailored to you and your relationship, but not ready for coaching? I'd still love to support you! Here are some resources you might find helpful (links): |

Dear Reader, I'm running an experiment this year which is basically a course in expanding relational intelligence - for free. I publish a new video on my YouTube channel every month, and then invite you to talk about it (or anything you like regarding Type and relationships) during free office hours. Here's February's video, where we explore how to break free from frustrating relationship patterns by shifting the focus from changing your partner to understanding and disrupting the...
Dear Reader, Over the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about how relationship skills are not usually built in one breakthrough conversation, but through small, intentional practices over time. I’ve recently published a new video where I outline 12 relationship-strengthening exercises, one for each month of the year: Alongside it, I’ve created a work-in-progress workbook and I’m opening up a monthly YouTube Live where we can talk about relationships, personality type, and how these...
