“The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.” ~ Elisabeth Foley

Emotions can bring people together, but they can also tear people apart. In this blog, you will find how to have a choice between your emotions and your thoughts. Discovering that you have a choice between the way you typically react and the way you want to react is freeing.

“To fear is one thing.  To let fear grab you by the tail and swing you around is another.” ~ Katherine Paterson

About The Author

My name is Marci Payne, and I am passionate about learning how people grow, change, and function in their relationships. I write from my life experience and work as an individual and marriage counselor.

I know what it’s like to balance work, family, and self-care. I have my own business in Kansas City Missouri, as well as working on my personal growth and connecting better with family and friends. I know I can only coach you as far as I can walk myself.

You will read stories about what I’ve learned about parenting and marriage through making my own mistakes as a wife and mother. When I’m not coaching, connecting, or tripping over my own feet, I also enjoy reading, yoga, music, nature, and photography.
