I am absolutely in love with the book The Empowered Wife and have been for a long time. It’s helped all my relationships including my relationship with God. Because of this, I’ve shared it with multiple women and the ones who have read it find it amazing too.

But the more women I meet in troubled marriages, the more I feel a great need for an actual meetup for women that doesn’t have a huge commitment attached to it but that it’s a safe circle for women to discuss their take on the skills. A friend of mine ended up getting coaching and found it extremely helpful but ended up falling off the skills with the stress of family life and also longs for more continual support.

I would love to become a coach but I don’t feel the desire to make money from it so I can’t justify the cost. I just want to be able to effectively help other women who need support.

Has anyone started their own circle? If so, what does it look like? What do you do each time?

I’m a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. But my frustrations continue when each weekend, after tending to the family’s needs all week, I continually have to go and hunt down my husband to come and relieve me of caring for the children so that I can spend time alone.

Either before I leave or after I return, I’m met with a discourse of how he doesn’t get time for himself, and that the burden of the finances rest on his shoulders alone. Thus every. Single. Time. I go for self care, he is silent, angry, reminding me of how much I don’t carry his burden even though he helps with my burden, and raging at the children, and I have to try my best to go somewhere in the house where he is not to get some peace. Essentially he throws it in my face every time I go away alone.

I’m currently in the process of finding work that will help relieve the financial burden despite my desire to simply be home.

I wish I had friends/sisters/cousins to speak to on the matter but unfortunately I don’t. Please help.
