Description
When a family is facing long-term illness or nearing the end of someone’s life, everything intensifies. Old wounds surface, roles become rigid, and emotions run high. Families don’t struggle because they don’t love each other; they struggle because no one has taught them how to carry this kind of weight together.
Family POD Coaching creates a guided space for honest conversation. I help you slow things down, tell the truth, listen in a new way, and handle what needs attention while there is still time. This isn’t therapy or mediation it’s about leadership, responsibility, and choosing how you want to show up for one another.
So that when the moment comes, your family can say you did your best.
What It Means To Work In a POD
Working in a POD means your family commits to sitting down together in a guided, structured environment where honesty, respect, and forward movement matter. Instead of avoiding difficult conversations or repeating old arguments, we focus on understanding one another, taking responsibility for how we show up, and addressing what needs to be said while there is still time. I lead the process so everyone has space, no one dominates, and the conversation stays productive. A POD is where families begin to replace confusion and tension with clarity, connection, and the possibility of real peace.
What To Expect From POD Coaching
You can expect real, meaningful conversation, along with moments of relief, emotion, and clarity where things finally begin to make sense. I guide the group carefully so we don’t fall into blame or repeat the same arguments you’ve already had countless times. Instead, we focus on building honesty, understanding, and follow-through. The intention is that you leave each session with a clear sense of what matters most right now and a stronger understanding of how you want to show up for one another moving forward.
Every family has patterns—ways of communicating, reacting, avoiding, or protecting themselves that developed over time. Some of these patterns helped you survive, and some of them now create tension and distance. In this work, we gently and honestly identify what is happening beneath the surface so everyone can see the system clearly and understand how they participate in it.
Understand Your Family’s Dysfunction
Once we understand the patterns, we establish what matters most. Together, we clarify the values that each person wants to stand for and the values the family wants to represent. These values become the guide for conversations, decisions, boundaries, and behavior, especially when emotions are intense.
Develop and Apply Individual and Family Values

Families under stress often operate like individuals fighting separate battles. We shift that dynamic. You will learn how to communicate more effectively, support one another, and move toward shared outcomes. The goal is cooperation, clarity, and the ability to face what’s coming together instead of apart.

What I Expect From You
What I ask from each person in the POD is courage. You don’t need to arrive perfect or even calm, but you do need to be willing to be honest and to look at your part in the family dynamic. I am not here to pick sides or turn anyone into the villain. My role is to help your family function at a higher level, and that only happens when people are open to growth. If someone comes in focused on defending themselves, the process will stall. If people are willing to tell the truth and take responsibility for how they show up, real change becomes possible.
Who This Is For
This work is for families who understand that time matters. It’s for those who are watching someone decline, who can feel the tension building, and who worry about what will happen emotionally after the loss. These are families who want to reduce regret and resentment while increasing connection, honesty, and understanding while they still have the opportunity. If your family wants peace but doesn’t yet know how to create it, this process was designed for you.
