Can I ask you a tough question?
What was it like being isolated with your family during the lockdown?
If you discovered that your household is a war zone, your marriage is on life support, or perhaps your family wasn't there for each other - improving your family relationships should be a major priority in 2021.
You CAN eliminate the stress, create better boundaries, and bring more balance to your family life.
But first, let’s figure out where you are.
It’s the first step to creating a plan for improving your future.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your family relationships? If you answer “1,” that means low/bad/least true, while answering “10” means “high/good/most true”:
• I would rate my current family situation ____
• We eat at least one meal per day
.. together as a family............................. ____
• My immediate and extended family is functional ____
• Thinking of family makes me feel happy ____
• I am honest with my family members. ____
• I work hard at being a better family member ____
• I set aside personal time with my family,
.. without phones................................... ____
• My family is loving, patient, supportive and respectful ____
• I hold no hurt feelings toward any
.. family members................................... ____
• I feel I spend enough time with
.. my family to meet their needs............ ____
When I first read the book Oola: Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World, its authors—Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—recommended strategies for improving family life.
“Family” is one of The 7 F’s of Oola: a proven formula for living a life of less stress, more balance and greater purpose.
As a Certified Oola Life Coach, I help clients not only create goals across all 7 areas of life, but also prioritize their tasks and—most importantly—stay accountable to accomplishing them week by week.
In fact, I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more.
Message me and we can jump on a 30-minute discovery call to explore the idea of working together on your goals; or you can schedule your complimentary call with me HERE.

Family: Is Somebody Trying to Tell You Something?
One of my favorite quotes is from corporate consultant Jack Rosenblum who said: If one person tells you you're a horse, they’re crazy. If three people tell you you're a horse, there's a conspiracy afoot. If ten people tell you you're a horse, it's time to buy a saddle. LOL. But what Jack’s really talking about here is feedback—the kind we don’t want to hear and, too often, the kind that many of us ignore.
Well, what feedback are you getting about your family that you might be ignoring?
One of the toughest things my coaching clients have to work through is a family situation that’s stressful, heartbreaking or simply needs attention.
So today, what’s one small step—a 1% improvement—you can make to improve your marriage, family relationships, boundaries, house rules, or living situation?
Could you . . .
• Schedule a date night this Saturday with your spouse?
• Have that “difficult conversation” with your aging parent?
• Cook dinner as a family at least three nights this week?
• Establish a calm morning routine for younger children?
• Set boundaries with your argumentative brother?
Whatever 1% improvement you decide that would change YOUR family relationships for the better starting today, I would love to have you share it with me by commenting below!
Your family is your inner circle—the people you should turn to in tough times, but also the people who turn to YOU for the same reason.
If you need to show up differently and make some serious changes (in your family situation or any other category), I have good news: I’ve teamed up with Oola authors Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl to bring you a 10-week focused approach to creating a life that’s balanced, happy, and growing in all of the key areas. Oola Family is just one.
