What Do Our Clients Have To Say?

"I was at the point where I knew I needed more help. I was done and tired of toxicity. I was weary of the same drama and struggling to make sense of relationships!

I was reading personal development books, all types of relationship self-help books, trying mindfulness techniques to heal from past relationship trauma etc... You name it, I probably tried it as a way to overcome and find healing and understanding.

So desperate I was that I began looking on FB for some kind of toxic relationship/trauma support group. This is when I came across Stephanie & David's site, Being Loved Shouldn't Hurt. It described me perfectly...
A professional woman who has her s*hit together at work, but a complete mess in relationships. As you can imagine, I had spent a good fortune on my attempts with other self development and healing programs, so when I saw the cost of this particular program, well... it was not as costly as others.
So I jumped in and signed up. Something about this program seemed different to me and I was desperate and ready for something to work!! Sure enough, everything about this program works and flows to recovery, understanding, and healing! The weekly meetings, curriculum, and PSYCH-K sessions.
It is a complete and thorough program for women or men that are done with toxic relationships and know that there must be a better way! As a single mom, I know the major barrier to joining a program like this and that is FINANCES!! I get it, trust me. But here's the deal: life will not improve for us if we continue the same rut as usual. NOTHING WILL CHANGE, until we make a change and this change is to begin INVESTING in ourselves.
We must invest in ourselves to become better women, which then makes us better mothers and providers for our children! Our kids deserve a better version of ourselves and they will not receive that if we refuse to invest in our personal growth, journey and healing!

Also, another barrier as a Christian woman is hearing others tell us "just pray, just pray for healing and wisdom. That is all you need is Jesus..!"Trust me, I love my Jesus and I pray every single day, however, we NEED the help of others that are qualified and more prepared in certain areas to teach and instruct us on how to handle and deal with situations. We are human living this human experience, and it's necessary to lean on one another and learn from those that can help us grow!! I am a much better me after taking this course.
And I absolutely recommend it to anyone that is tired of toxicity and pain from relationships and ready to make a change!!" ~Alondra Magallanes Cooley

"I wanted to give a shout out to Stephanie McPhail & David Charon and the amazing work they do in the inner circle. I signed up on Friday, August 6th and then left on a 3 day camping trip with my dog with tornado warnings and thunderstorms. I had limited internet, but enough to get the idea of what the Daily Accountability Check In was all about and how the group was structured. Since that phone call with Stephanie, I have: stopped thinking about and longing for the ex, I have met 5 new female friends and have gone kayaking, out for coffee, and am planning puppy socialization meetings in local parks. I have also reconnected with a male friend and am embarking on my first ever real friendship with a man! I am sleeping at night, getting up and loving life, I have goals, direction, have let go of some faulty limiting beliefs instilled in my a life time ago. I continue to have work to do, but I am well on my way in less than 2 weeks! Don't even get me started on the PSYCH-K session with David--life changing! If you are stuck in repeat and attracting the same toxic unavailable partners...do your self a favor and invest in your own healing instead of giving your heart to 10 more losers who are not doing their work. You deserve better. You matter! Congratulations for getting this far. I encourage you to take it to the next level and get yourself straight before looking for love. I believe it will make all the difference."

"Hey peeps in case you didn’t know, Stephanie McPhail & David Charon are amazing mentors!

They provide you with the roadmap to develop the ability to gain self confidence so you can rebuild & recreate your framework so you can OWN your own life.

I’ve been codependent since 13.

It's the FIRST time in my life I’m single and feel fully capable of coping with my own emotions and life issues on my own instead of running to a significant other or emotional attachment for comfort & security.

I was skeptical about connecting because the belief “can things really get better for me?” always swirled in my head.

Hands Down Best Decision I’ve Ever Made.

These are amazing coaches.

You won't be disappointed!

They changed my life forever.Take your life back! Reclaim Your Power!"

“I am finally free of my negative thoughts and feelings about myself and the end of 7 yrs of a relationship. I want to shout… I’m free at last...free from negative feelings, free from undermining my own forward progress, free to find a new love of my life. I love myself as I am and who I will become. I will be turning 50 in September and I am now excited.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Life/Relationship Coaching Different Than Other Methods?

Life/relationship coaching differs significantly from other methods like consulting and therapy. Unlike consultants who provide solutions based on their expertise and then leave implementation to you, life coaches actively guide you through the process of making changes, developing new skills, and achieving goals. This ongoing support helps transform knowledge into actionable wisdom.

Additionally, life coaching is distinct from therapy, as it doesn't focus on past issues or trauma. Instead, life coaches concentrate on the present and future, helping clients set and reach personal and professional goals. This approach is particularly suited to individuals who are generally successful and healthy but might be feeling stuck or seeking significant life changes.

Life coaching also incorporates elements from sports coaching like challenging limitations and focusing on goals, but it is non-competitive and personalized. A life coach acts as an objective professional—unlike a best friend who might withhold tough truths to preserve the friendship—ensuring that the coach's primary focus is your growth and success.

In summary, life coaching provides a supportive partnership where you can progress faster and more effectively towards the life and relationships you desire.
