I work with high-achieving partners navigating the complexity of dual careers, growing families, and the invisible labor that comes with maintaining a household. I’ve seen what works. I’ve seen what hurts. And I’ve heard the same sentiment again and again:

“I wish we had figured this stuff out sooner.”

That’s why I’ve joined forces with two incredible changemakers—Dr. Kate Mangino, author of Equal Partners, and Ashley Brichter, founder of Birthsmarter—to create something we wish we had when we were starting our own families.

It’s called MOVE Your Marriage: a 1.5-day weTreat designed specifically for couples preparing to start a family, expecting a baby, or navigating the early years of parenthood.

Why MOVE?

Let’s face it—starting a family is the most disruptive event in a couple’s life. You’re juggling career goals, childcare decisions, budgeting questions, values alignment, emotional strain, and trying to hold onto your connection as a couple. Most couples go into this phase with love, hope… and no plan.

That’s where MOVE comes in. It’s not a lecture. It’s not therapy. It’s not a conference with pamphlets and panels. It’s a working weekend with three national experts, where you and your partner will:

✅ Build your shared financial plan

✅ Create an equitable division of household responsibilities

✅ Align on your family values

✅ Learn how to communicate with empathy and understanding—especially when life gets hard

What We Cover

At MOVE, we focus on the four pillars that hold up every thriving household:

💰 Money

“Are we saving enough? What about childcare, college, retirement?” We’ll help you navigate these questions with financial tools and frameworks that empower both of you to feel confident and secure.

⚙️ Operations

“Who’s doing what at home—and how do we make it feel fair?” You’ll build a customized domestic system that fits your life—not someone else’s expectations.

❤️ Values

“How do we live the life we actually want—not just the one we default into?” We’ll help you define your shared values and build your household around them.

🤝 Empathy

“How do we support each other, even when we’re overwhelmed?” You’ll walk away with tools for compassionate communication, emotional safety, and lasting connection.

Why Now?

Research shows the earlier you establish healthy patterns in your relationship, the easier they are to maintain over time. The couples who thrive aren’t the ones who “figure it out later”—they’re the ones who start strong.

Whether you're on the brink of becoming parents or knee-deep in diapers, the MOVE weTreat gives you the structure and support you actually need—not just advice or inspiration.

If you’re past the “MOVE” stage, consider gifting this experience to someone who’s just starting out. Baby showers are lovely, but a weekend to set the foundation for a lifetime of partnership? That’s priceless.
