    Episode 64: From Parent To Partner

    Are you feeling more like your husband's mother than his partner? In this episode, I'm diving into why so many women unintentionally fall into a parent-child dynamic in marriage and how it creates resentment, exhaustion, and disconnection. We'll explore where these patterns come from, why they're so familiar, and most importantly, how to shift into a true partnership where both people feel supported, capable, and valued. If you're tired of carrying the mental load, managing everyone else's life, and feeling like you're doing it all, this episode will help you create a new dynamic—one built on trust, ownership, and connection. And if you're ready to take the next step and create the marriage you truly want, I'd love to chat with you. Apply for my Business of Marriage coaching program at www.brookesann.com/apply.

    Episode 63: Why Your Brain Is Making Marriage Harder

    Do you find yourself saying things like "he never helps," "we're always arguing," or "our marriage is failing"? What if none of those things are actually true? In this episode, we're exploring polarity thinking—the tendency to see life, marriage, and the people we love through a black-and-white lens. Your brain loves labels. Good or bad. Right or wrong. Success or failure. But healthy marriages don't live in extremes. They live in the nuance, the complexity, and the thousands of shades in between. I'll share why your brain defaults to this kind of thinking, how it creates unnecessary suffering in your marriage, and what it looks like to move from certainty into curiosity. We'll talk about the difference between a light switch and a dimmer switch, why two opposite things can be true at the same time, and how embracing complexity can help you feel more connected, compassionate, and at peace. Because your husband is not a label. Your marriage is not a label. And neither are you. If you're ready to stop swinging between "everything is amazing" and "everything is falling apart," this episode will help you find solid ground in the middle.   Come and join us for an online workshop WHEN FEELINGS GET THE BEST OF YOU IN MARRIAGE Tuesday june 30th at 11am.

    Episode 62: Impact Of Work On Marriage & Family

    This week, I'm sharing a deeply personal milestone: after 19 years behind the chair, I'm officially retiring from the salon and stepping fully into the next chapter of my life and business. Along the way, I've learned some powerful lessons about fear, alignment, work, family, and what it really means to create a life that supports who you are becoming. In this episode, we talk about why so many women feel exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed, the courage it takes to follow your own path, and why fear is often a sign that you're doing something bold. I'll also share my unconventional business plan, how I balance work and family, and why I believe you can build a business, marriage, and life that truly lights you up. If you've been craving more freedom, more alignment, and a deeper connection to yourself, your family, and your work, this episode is for you. And if you're ready to take the next step, come join me at Marriage & Mocktails on June 6th, where we'll be diving into boundaries—how to set them and actually follow through on them.

    Episode 61: Closing the Loop: Embracing Hard Things Together

    This week I'm talking about the messy middle of life — the moments where I question myself, doubt myself, want to give up, and wonder if I'll ever make it to the other side. Through stories about motherhood, marriage, business, nervous system regulation, and even hiking in the Adirondacks with my family, I'm sharing how I've learned to stop abandoning myself when things get hard and instead trust myself enough to keep going. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged lately, this episode will remind you that maybe nothing has gone wrong at all — you're simply in the middle of the loop.   Please join us at Marriage & Mocktails June 6 register here: www.brookesann.com/events    or if your ready to take your life to the next level click here to apply to join my transformational program : www.brookesann.com/apply

    Episode 60: You Don't Need More You Need Less

    Today we're talking about something that feels almost rebellious in today's world… doing less. Less noise. Less multitasking. Less productivity. Less scrolling. Less trying to fix everything. Because maybe the answer to the overwhelm, disconnection, frustration, and exhaustion isn't more. Maybe it's less. In this episode, I'm sharing the shift I've been experiencing in my own life, marriage, motherhood, business, and nervous system as I learn to stop constantly reaching for more information, more distractions, more solutions—and instead come back home to myself. We dive into: Why modern life keeps us disconnected from ourselves The difference between knowing and actually learning How multitasking pulls us out of presence Why intuition is your greatest power source The hidden cost of constant productivity Learning to trust yourself instead of outsourcing your wisdom to everyone else Why calm and connection come from less, not more This episode is an invitation to slow down enough to actually hear yourself again. You do not need more. You need less distractions, less noise, less pressure… and more of YOU.   Come and join us at Marriage & Mocktails an inperson event June 6th 7-10pm.

    Episode 59: When You Can't Count On Him

    Ever feel like you can't fully count on your husband to follow through? Like you ask him to do something… and he forgets. Or does it on his own timeline. Or you find yourself constantly reminding him—and resenting him for it. In this episode, I'm breaking down a real-life listener question that so many women will relate to. But this isn't just about forgotten tasks or unmet expectations. This is about the deeper dynamic happening underneath it all. Because the truth is… your husband isn't broken. He's patterned. And so are you. This episode will challenge you—in the best way. Because your power isn't in getting him to change. It's in how you relate to who he already is. If you've ever thought, "I just wish I could count on him"… this conversation will shift everything.   Come and join us at our Marriage & Mocktails event June 6th www.brookesann.com/events to save your seat!

    Episode 58: The Truth About Sex in Marriage

    Why does sex feel so complicated in marriage? If you've ever felt like something is wrong with you because you don't want sex as much as your husband…or sex feels stressful, pressured, disconnected, or simply not enjoyable—you are not alone. In this episode, we're having a very honest conversation about intimacy, desire, shame, nervous system regulation, pleasure, trauma, hormones, and the stories women carry around sex. I'm breaking down why you can't "should" yourself into desire, the difference between arousal and desire, how shame quietly kills intimacy, and why pleasure—not obligation—is the goal. We'll also talk about how healthy marriages create space for two whole people with different needs, preferences, and seasons of life to communicate honestly and care for their relationship together. This conversation is empowering, freeing, and deeply honest—and my hope is that it helps you release shame and step into a more connected, pleasurable, and authentic relationship with intimacy.   Come join us at our FREE online workshop Wednesday May 6th 11am EST Stop Feeling Like A Crazy Person In Marriage  Or come join us at our next in person event Marriage & Mocktails Saturday June 6th 7-10pm at The Portal Utica, New York  Or maybe your ready for the NEXT step and want to have a free consult with me, click HERE to apply.

    Functional vs. Dysfunctional Marriage

    Dysfunction doesn't mean your marriage is failing… it just means the way you're currently relating isn't sustainable or supportive. In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between functional and dysfunctional marriage—and why so many high-achieving women unknowingly find themselves over-functioning, over-giving, and slowly building resentment. We're talking about: Why you feel like you're doing everything The hidden pattern of parenting your partner How over-functioning creates under-functioning The truth about emotional dependency (and why it feels so exhausting) What a functional marriage actually looks like The foundational skills that create real partnership This episode will help you shift out of control, pressure, and resentment… and into ownership, regulation, and connection. Because a functional marriage isn't about needing each other—it's about two whole people choosing each other. Nothing has gone wrong. You're right where you need to be. And awareness? That's where everything begins. If this episode resonates, share it with a friend who needs to hear it 💛 My friends, I'm having a free online workshop titled, When You Feel Like A Crazy Person In Marriage, click HERE to save your spot for May 6 11am EST  And don't forget to send this episode to a friend!
