Part of you is relieved it's over...
But part of you is absolutely devastated...
And if you're sitting with both of those feelings right now...
You're in the right place.
I help women work through the fear of being alone after breakup or divorce so they can rebuild trust in themselves and make clear decisions about dating, work and life.
Prefer to start gently?

You're trying to function and keep it together but there's an emptiness underneath that you can't seem to shake...
Waking up and the first thought is him.
Getting home after a date and feeling emptier than before.
Checking his Instagram to see if he's moved on yet and dreading that one day he will.
Feeling disconnected from yourself and your intuition.
Tired of feeling “in between,”not where you were, not where you want to be.
This phase has a name.
It’s the messy middle — and it’s more common than you think.
WHY THE MESSY MIDDLE CAN KEEP YOU STUCK
You've had good days where you felt like yourself again.
Then one song...
one memory...
one Sunday afternoon alone...
And you're back at the beginning wondering if you'll ever actually get through this.
Checking his Instagram to see if he's moved on yet and dreading that one day he will.
Texting him, getting ignored or the cold shoulder, and the shame that sits with you for days after.
Dating not because you're ready but because being alone felt like too much to sit with.
Deciding you're done and then falling apart when he posts something new.
That's the Messy Middle...
And it doesn't shift by trying harder.
It shifts when you finally understand what's underneath it.
There is a way through this...
But it doesn't start with dating again or staying busy or willing yourself to feel better.
It starts with understanding what's actually underneath the fear.
Because when you understand it, it loses its grip.
And when it loses its grip, you stop making decisions from a scared place.
You don't have to keep carrying this alone.

I'm Steph, a Relationship Transition Guide.
I know what it feels like to be in the Messy Middle.
To be relieved it's over and devastated at the same time.
To just get over this fear of being alone.
To keep reaching for something or someone to fill that space because being alone felt unbearable.
What changed everything for me wasn't finding the right person. It was learning how to feel at home in myself first.
So that when I did choose, I chose from a clear place.
Not a scared one.
That's what's possible for you too.

3 Ways To Avoid Burnout
If you run a website, chances are you already have a blog. And if you don’t, maybe you should start one. A blog can boost your brand awareness, increase conversions, and improve customer service.
Blogs help you connect with your audience on a more personal level and allow them to interact with you in an individual capacity. Blogging also helps to present viewers with fresh content regularly.
1. Drive traffic to your website
With the right blog, you can drive traffic to your site consistently. A blog is also a great way to generate sales. If people visit your blog and sign up for your email newsletter or download a resource that you’ve put out there, they become potential customers or clients of your business. Blogs are a great way to get people engaged with your brand.
2. Convert traffic into leads
Blogging helps your website to be more than just a place for people to visit. It gives them the opportunity to interact with your business in a way that isn’t possible through other forms of content on your website. By blogging, you have the ability to help drive traffic back to your website and convert that traffic into leads. For example, if you blog about an important industry event and share it on Facebook and Twitter, you can expect a boost in new signups to your email list or visitors to your website.
3. Become an authority
Blogs are a great addition to your site as they give you the ability to create authoritative content. They also help you establish credibility and become an expert in your field. Moreover, they provide you with an opportunity to build an audience that will help push your company’s brand recognition.
