Coach Marilyn's Blog 

Settling into a new home is about far more than unpacking boxes. It's learning to embrace unfinished spaces, let go of what no longer serves us, establish new routines, and rediscover what truly makes a house feel like home. As a life coach navigating my own move, I share practical lessons on creating momentum after a major life transition — without burning out.

As a life coach and newly certified burnout coach, I should have seen it coming. Yet, I underestimated the stress of moving again. I ignored the warning signs and slipped into old patterns just as a family crisis unfolded. This post chronicles what happened when my expectations collide with reality. It's also about what I'm learning about resilience, caregiving, and rebuilding momentum. Momentum is not linear — and happens one imperfect step at a time.
