Helping wives of pro athletes and performing artists thrive and find balance on the adventure…

… so they can genuinely support their talented loved ones AND pursue their own dreams and goals.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You’re in a “good relationship,” but you feel trapped and stuck in your always-supporting role. You’ve lost sight of who you are and your identity is becoming a blur.

Solo parenting, solo logistics managing, solo home managing, solo packing, solo moving, solo everything has you resenting your husband for following his dream and for everything that has (and hasn’t) happened in his career.

You’re tired of the uncertainty that comes along with your spouse’s profession. Uncertainty about employment itself, whether next month’s paychecks will be enough, or where you’ll live next season (or even next week)…

You want your husband to have a fabulous opening night, but after all the giving—and giving, and giving—to help with all the preparation, you’re absolutely exhausted when it finally arrives.

You actually do love supporting your partner in all the ways but you’re starting to become weary of it all.

You’ve found yourself staring mindlessly at the grocery store yogurt display, with three unruly children turning a cart into a rainy day jungle gym, because you’ve been banished from the house, yet again, so your husband can practice in peace.

You find yourself on the couch every night, mindlessly sipping your way through a bottle of wine while scrolling through Instagram, feeling guilty that you aren’t accomplishing anything meaningful while your husband is on the road.

The kitchen floods and you really need your husband, but he’s in the middle of the third round, so you just have to wait, or once again do your best by yourself.

In the midst of juggling marriage, motherhood, and your career, you’re feeling lost in the daily responsibilities and struggles and you’re not sure who you really are or what your own dreams even are anymore.

Imagine instead…

Imagine instead…

…taking the last sip of your morning coffee, you can’t wait to take action on your goals for the day. Your husband may be on week three of his road trip but your days now have meaning and purpose.

…finishing up your hair and ready to meet your day, feeling anchored and rooted because you know that no matter what state (or country) your husband’s career takes you, you can support it without compromising your own dreams and goals.

…walking in the front door after leading two amazing presentations for your new clients, feeling successful and confident, ready and truly excited to hear about your partner’s preparations for this weekend’s tournament.

…the sense of triumph you feel having fixed that clogged toilet without needing to call a plumber or reach out to your hubby 675 miles away, on opening night! Now… onto crushing the rest of your day!

…knowing you can handle it on your own, successfully bringing the kids to church all by yourself, and sharing a sweet (and funny) moment from it with your husband at dinner after his third-in-a-row Sunday matinee.

…feeling fulfilled as you tuck yourself into your cozy bed—after day 13 of successfully and (mostly) joyfully wrangling the kids and holding down the fort during your husband’s tour—knowing you are accomplishing goals that are actually important to you.

Hi, I’m Karyn, and welcome!

Here at Supporting Stars, my mission is to help YOU shine.

You are a star, a valuable asset to your high-level-performer star partner… perhaps even the most valuable. 

It’s not just your husband’s time to shine, it’s also YOUR time. You can go after your own dreams and goals, whether they include getting your master’s degree, starting a new business, volunteering for your children’s school, actually meal planning for the week, or finally using that gym membership! All within the context of genuinely supporting your talented loved one.

So shine, Star! Check out my private coaching programs, RNR~Resilience Not Resentment and MVP~Most Valuable Partner.

“Before deciding to try coaching, I was always thinking, ‘maybe I already have it together… maybe I don’t need help…’ But since beginning the program with Karyn, I’ve seen more organization in my life. More time for me, which means I’m more helpful to my spouse, house, and family — and dogs!”
