Unlocking Intimacy: The Mental Freedom® Experience for Couples

When I created the Mental Freedom® Experience (MFX), I initially envisioned guiding individuals on their journey to personal growth. Over the past four years, however, I’ve had the privilege of working with couples, helping them deepen their connection, heal past wounds, and experience true mental freedom—together.

Hunt for Contentment, Not Just Happiness

The third full week of January is designated “Hunt for Happiness Week,” a time set aside for self-reflection on how we define happiness and what we can do to achieve it in the long run.

Wedding Stress: Is it Normal or a Red Flag?

Recently, I have heard several stories about brides having a difficult time planning the wedding they want.

What’s Up with the Supreme Court?

There have been several shocking decisions coming out of the Supreme Court. I can’t help but comment on and theorize what the underlying cause really is, and it may not be what you think.
