This is a space for overwhelmed superwomen who feel as if their life is unraveling.
What many of us experience is what I call the Triad of Anxiety—the perfect storm of high-functioning anxiety, codependency, and anxious attachment styles.Â
-
- High-functioning anxiety allows individuals to maintain a seemingly successful and productive life while internally struggling with excessive worry, perfectionism, and self-doubt. It can drive people to overwork, overcommit, and avoid emotional vulnerability. The root of this is never feeling enough.
-
- Codependency often involves an excessive emotional reliance on others, where a person prioritizes another’s needs over their own. It can stem from childhood experiences, such as growing up in a dysfunctional family, and often leads to difficulty setting boundaries, people-pleasing, and losing a sense of self.
- This attachment style develops in childhood when caregivers lack emotional support. As adults, people with anxious attachment may fear abandonment, rejection, seek constant reassurance, and struggle with trust in relationships.

“Gretchen's mentorship was incredible. I finally learned the skills to set boundaries and say goodbye to constant anxiety ”
Â
Hi, I'm Gretchen.
I mentor women who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and unsure of what to do next.
Years ago, I found myself at an all-time low. Looking back, I can see that it had been a lifetime in the making. Everything looked good on the outside, but inside I was falling apart. All it took was the end of a long-term marriage to bring the decades of anger, resentment, fear, despair, the giving, giving, giving, the doing, doing, doing, never feeling enough or appreciated to do some VERY deep reflection.
I spent years trying to identify the problems. Years in therapy trying to save a marriage. Not once did an "expert" mention high-functioning anxiety, codependency, anxious attachment, or asked me about my childhood. The symptoms were all screaming out for help, but no one was listening.
I am here—listening to you! I am here to help you break these patterns, break generational cycles (the ones you might not even see right now), and repair the most important relationship you have with yourself.Â
I have been coaching and mentoring women for over 25 years in various areas, including health and emotional wellness. My passion is helping women acknowledge and understand how their childhood dynamics have shaped them for better and worse. We'll work together to change these patterns that no longer serve you, and quite frankly, are making you sick.Â
I am a mom of four who was married for 19 years. As the “perfect” life I had spent decades creating crumbled, I realized I was carrying patterns I had thought I had left behind. I thought I had broken the cycle...but the coping skills are sneaky. Mom guilt is a real thing. However, that is something we will work together to overcome.Â
I saw myself in my children as they grew … I realized things about my partner choices. These were the gentle nudges calling me to healing.Â
Digging in and doing the inner work has completely changed my life and who I am today. It is priceless to live day to day without being overwhelmed and worried. Understanding how to respond vs. react has been priceless. Who knew life didn't have to be one crisis after another?
I'm here to invite you to heal and move forward as well.Â
There is another way 🩷 I promise.
