    Is It Me or Them?

    Have you ever found yourself questioning if the problems in your relationship stem from you or your partner's actions? I share a story about a client who grappled with her husband's marijuana use, and how it affected their relationship.

A partner for 10+ years ,

The encouragement and insights I needed right now

I love that the host focuses on you, the partner, without bashing or blaming the person with addiction issues. You learn true compassion in this podcast, at the same time as she opens your mind to see clarity and gain strength in your own abilities. I find relevant content in ALL episodes. I’d love to get in on her coaching program!

Learned so much!

I’ve learned so much in the first few episodes I’ve listened to. I’m bingeing episodes now! Feel like I have my own personal therapist. Her positive, uplifting attitude and communication is so encouraging. I highly recommend listening!

Life changing!

I can’t say enough about Karilyn! Working with her as my coach completely changed my life. Our time working together challenged me in the best ways and really motivated me to take control over my life amongst the chaos. I highly recommend committing to yourself and to working with Karilyn!
