Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’ll be happy when…”?

​

When I lose the weight. When the kids are older. When my husband changes. When life finally settles down.

​

I spent years chasing happiness, believing it was always waiting on the other side of the next accomplishment. What I didn’t realize was that the peace, joy, and connection I was searching for were available all along.

For years, I measured my worth by what I could do for everyone else. I wore the martyr cape with pride while quietly becoming exhausted, resentful, and disconnected. I was an Olympic-level overfunctioner, convinced that if I just worked harder, loved harder, and did more, everyone would be happier. 

 

Instead, I lost myself.

 

Hi, I’m Stephanie Terry. Like so many epic love stories, mine started over a game of pool in a bar. After graduating from the University of Denver, I married the love of my life, and together we built an adventurous life in Southern Colorado.

​

Then came the dream we’d waited years for. After a costly three-year fertility journey, we finally welcomed twins into our family. I had everything I’d wanted.

​

So why did I feel so empty?

​

I loved motherhood—but somewhere along the way, the connection in my marriage disappeared. I was overwhelmed, drained, and vibrating with resentment. I loved my family deeply, but I didn’t love the woman I had become. I felt like I was failing at everything. 

​

And then a friend handed me The Empowered Wife by Laura Doyle. Through The 6 Intimacy Skills™, I discovered something I never expected: I didn’t need to work harder to create a loving marriage. I needed to let go of control, receive more, and finally believe that I was worthy of love—not because of what I did, but simply because of who I am.

 

​That transformation didn’t just save my marriage. It changed the trajectory of my family and my life. Now I help other women experience that same freedom.
