Should I Remarry? He Hasn’t Changed.

By Leslie Vernick | December 17, 2025 |

Morning friend, It’s hard to believe. Christmas is next week. What is your biggest challenge showing up from your Noble self? Is it disappointment because you’re the one who makes “Christmas work” for everyone in your family but you don’t feel acknowledged or appreciated for all your hard work? Or are you alone this Christmas, miss your family or former…

Why Do Women Tolerate So Much Pain and Suffering in Relationships?

By Susan King | September 4, 2024 |

Hello friends! September brings a shift in schedules and expectations for many. Because I always close out August with my birthday, Labor Day weekend becomes a time of reflection and the start of a new year of life for me. I had the opportunity to spend some time by the lakeside contemplating changes that stemmed from leaving a long-term destructive…

By LeAnne Parsons | May 8, 2024 |

Hello, my dear sisters in faith, Ah, spring! There’s something truly rejuvenating about this time of year, isn’t there? As the earth reawakens, blanketing our surroundings in vibrant colors and lively sounds, it naturally invites us to do some rejuvenating of our own—not just in our homes but in our financial lives as well.

Let Freedom Ring Within Relational Boundaries

By Susan King | July 5, 2023 |

Hello LV & Co. friends! It is my (Coach Susan) privilege to be writing the blog this week. I am not necessarily a political person; but being an American, it seems appropriate to talk about freedom in July.

By LeAnne Parsons | June 7, 2023 |

Welcome to June, my friends! This month, I have chosen to explore the virtue of resilience.

How Do I Help My Client Let Go?

By Leslie Vernick | May 31, 2023 |

Morning friend, I’ve been reading through the four gospels this year, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I’ve been curiously watching Jesus freely express his emotions. He cried, laughed, got angry, felt uncertain of what to do next, felt stressed, tired, irritated, and kind of crabby (when he cursed the fig tree when it didn’t have figs yet). Yet, he didn’t…

Am I Selfish for Stopping My Enabling Behaviors?

By Leslie Vernick | March 8, 2023 |

Morning friend, Next week I’m going to Paris with my granddaughter for her 13th birthday. Each of my granddaughters get to pick where they would like to go for this special milestone. I thought we’d better do this at 13 years old instead of 18 because by 18 they may not want to hang out with their grandparents for a…

Morning friend,  Christmas 2022 has passed, and a New Year is right around the corner. What will you do to make 2023 different? This week, the time between what’s old and what’s new invites reflection. What am I letting go of? What do I want to take hold of?  This morning I asked God 3 questions. “God, what do you…
