OUR STORY

We had all the answers. Until we didn’t.

Despite blood, sweat, and tears, and endless dedication to our marriage and family, we continued to struggle. We made things worse by trying too hard at the things that didn’t matter. We were stuck in a few frustrating reactive cycles that wouldn’t go away: the same arguments, the same standoffs, the same triggers. Once we dove into foster adoption, those little spirals in our life compounded into deeper and deeper hurt.

In 2013, we made a phone call. It was our first admission that we couldn’t do it alone. We had never tried counseling. It was supposed to be for other people, not us. Thus begun a years-long journey of surrender, swallowing pride, accepting grace, and receiving help to heal and reattune. We want to be wounded healers.

We’ve learned firsthand that there is no perfect, but there can be beautiful. We’ve learned that relationships, dreams, and goals have to be fought for. We have learned to let go of what doesn’t matter while clinging to faith in a Higher Power. And without the love and grace of God through amazing people along the way, we don’t know where we would be today.

We launched Grounded Life after 16 years of marriage, four kids, two adoptions, and a number of scars. We believe those experiences are some of our greatest gifts. In the words of Henri Nouwen, we want to be “wounded healers.” It’s our joy and passion to help you.
