You didn't want it to get to this point.

You’ve spent years (decades?) trying to make your love relationship work ~ fighting for the connection, carrying the emotional load, trying to teach them emotional intelligence.

You've focused on their potential. Clung to hope that things would get better. Celebrated the tiniest breadcrumbs of progress. 

But the gap has continued to widen. Now, you find yourself asking the dreaded question: "Should I stay or should I leave?"​

You know no one can tell you what to do...

...but you really don't know how to
make the toughest decision of your life.

Hi! I'm Dr. Ashley, and I do know how to make this decision... because I've been there. 

But, before making the decision in my own marriage, I spent yeeeeeears on an emotional roller coaster

I ping-ponged between hope and despair. Forgiveness and resentment. Connection and disappointment. I was living in emotional whiplash

Like you, it was the absolute last thing I ever wanted to face. My entire adult life had been built with this person. We had a child together. We had a future planned. I didn't want to throw all of that away.

 

I felt stuck in endless fear, confusion, doubt, and tons of unanswered questions. And as each of my efforts to improve our communication, strengthen our connection, and repair old hurts were consistently met with their Underfunctioning nonsense, I inched my way towards realizing that walking away was the only self-respecting choice I had left. ​Eventually, I made it to the other side of that guilt and fear.

Your Guide Through the
Paralyzing Guilt & Fear

This class is not going to tell you to "just leave." Or try to persuade you to stay and work harder. Because let's face it ~ staying has pros and cons, and leaving has pros and cons. 

​​​

The purpose of this class is to give you an emotional roadmap ~ to help you organize and make sense out of the intense emotional experience you're having as you wrestle with this decision, and to prepare you for what it's likely going to feel like if you do make the decision.

 

Because once you understand why this decision is taking you so long to make, why fear stops you in your tracks every time, and why it gets worse before it gets better...then you're empowered to not get lost in the confusion, doubt, guilt, and fear. 

This class is a compassionate, psychology-informed, soulful exploration of the up-down-and-all-around emotional journey that takes you from "I do" to "I don't." Together, we will make sense of the nonsense, find clarity in the chaos, and help you discover the path feels right for you!

What You'll Learn in This 2-hr Masterclass:

🥀 The Quiet Collapse: how the Overfunctioning-Underfunctioning dynamic has brought you face-to-face with the toughest decision you never, ever thought you'd be considering

🌪️ The Emotional Turmoil: the neuroscience behind why guilt and fear keep you paralyzed and make it feel impossible to make the decision​, and how to usher yourself through these emotions in a self-respecting way

💔 The Defining Moment: what it feels like when your heart is detaching and one day you "just know" you're done, even if you don't know if/when you'll leave

🔥 The Aftermath: what to expect from yourself, your partner, and the kids if you eventually decide to say, "I'm done," and begin to unravel your life from theirs

🦋 The Awakening: while your brain is focusing on all that you're losing if you make this decision, I want to remind you of all the personal growth you are gaining, too

Lived Experience 💔 + Psychological Expertise 🧠

I am both a Self-Restored Woman and a Clinical Therapist specializing in relationships and trauma. That means that this class is a unique blend of:

My personal experience of having walked through the agonizing process of making the decision to end my 17-year marriage and uproot my child's life (after spending 10+ years doing everything I knew how to do to try to make it work)...

PLUS

My 23 years of professional experience as a Clinical Therapist working with Overfunctioning Women and Couples on relationship issues and underlying trauma issues. 

I know how feelings work. And I know what it feels like to go through this emotional nightmare. I share it alllll with you.
