If you’ve ever felt stuck in a relationship, unsure whether to stay or leave, this episode is packed with clarity, tools, and tough love you need to finally break free from indecision. I’m joined by Cindy Stibbard, a Certified Divorce & Relationship Coach who helps people step out of what she calls indecision purgatory - that painful, stuck-in-the-middle place where you feel frozen between staying and leaving. As a single mom who’s navigated both divorce and widowhood, Cindy knows the courage it takes to create a life you actually want. In this episode, we cover everything from the mindset that keeps us stuck to practical steps for getting out of limbo, including: Cindy’s journey into divorce and relationship coaching - and how it’s different from therapy or hiring a lawyer Using a relationship audit and analytical approach to stop taking everything personally The impact of kids on relationships, and why staying together “for the kids” isn’t always the best choice How parents’ relationships shape our beliefs about love, boundaries, and compromise Accepting less than we’re worth, dating after divorce, and why leaving can feel harder than staying Navigating conflict, communication, and infidelity in a way that’s healthy and not toxic Preparing yourself for divorce and having the hard conversations you’ve been avoiding How your relationship should be a place of joy, not guilt or resentment Understanding masculine vs. feminine energy and how it impacts what you want from a partner Choosing a partner before vs. after kids, meeting each other’s needs, and finding alignment Lessons from our own family dynamics, personal divorce experiences, and how to stop holding yourself back Applying authenticity in business and relationships - keeping the humanity, ditching the autopilot Connect with Cindy on Instagram and her website!
