Couples Coaching with
Natalie Clay
Of all the emotions you can choose to feel, love feels the very best!
In this podcast, I'll share practical tools to help you develop emotional self-reliance and improve your marriage — even if your spouse isn't open to the process! We'll also spend time with real couples — to gain insights from each partner — as they work to implement these life-changing concepts in their own relationships.
I love these coaching tools and have experienced more happiness in my personal and married life because of them. I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
