🙋‍♀️ Who Should We Feature?

While the Christmas lights twinkle across Colorado Springs, the "most wonderful time of the year" often magnifies the cracks in our closest relationships. For many, holiday stress highlights a painful reality: you can be sitting right next to your partner and still feel completely alone.

Take Sarah and Mark. To their neighbors, they're the picture of a stable, 25-year marriage. But behind closed doors, their conversations have become logistical hand-offs. The emotional intimacy has been replaced by a polite, heavy silence, leaving both wondering where the spark went.

But what if this holiday could mark a turning point?

Enter Mindy Reichert, founder of Relationships Unlocked. As a Certified Master Relationship Coach, Mindy understands that long-term love doesn't falter from lack of effort, but from lack of the right tools. Having navigated her own 28-year marriage through empty nests and life transitions, she knows firsthand that quality relationships directly impact our mental health and longevity.

Mindy guides both women and men through her signature 5 C's framework: Connection with self, Communication, Comprehension, Compromise, and Connection with partner. This isn't about talking more; it's about communicating better. She helps couples move beyond co-existing roommates to rediscover why they chose each other in the first place. In her safe, judgment-free programs, she emphasizes that the greatest holiday gift couples can exchange is the clarity of truly hearing and seeing each other again.

Ready to make 2026 the year your relationship thrives?

Mention Town Tidings when booking a coaching program to receive a complimentary one-hour follow-up session, typically a paid service, to keep your renewed connection strong long after the decorations come down.
