How Great Thou Part
Is Your Relationship Like a Drive Thru McDonalds?
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
You never quite know where inspiration will hail from. Even the front seat view of a drive-thru Mcdonald’s. I couldn’t help but think… My relationship was more like a fast food drive-thru than a sit-down diner. There is nothing like a good analogy though I’m sure you didn’t see fast food dining meets relationships coming your…
How Professional Bias Hurts Stay at Home Parents
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
One of the greatest divorce challenges is re-entering the workforce for those individuals who chose to stay home and raise their children. In fact, it’s the reason I have penned and not yet finished one of my columns tentatively titled “Don’t Ever Call Me a SAHM.” Reading the following Harvard Business Review article recently posted on…
3 New Hollywood Divorce Stories
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
The divorce discussion seems to be elevating in Hollywood. And not in the typical fashion of announcing the latest couples to fall prey to this relationship malaise. But rather bringing much-needed awareness to the conversation. Most importantly, it shows the magnitude of the audience which exists in this arena. Relationships are precious and they are…
Flip or Flop’s Tarek El Moussa on Divorce
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
There have been numerous articles out recently about Flip or Flop star Tarek El Moussa’s divorce.

By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
The simple truth? Not everyone grows up. It’s one of the reasons I coined the phrase… “I’m tired of watching children walk around masquerading as adults.” So how exactly does this happen? There are plenty of reasons an individual’s ego fails to mature. It can include but is not limited to being overindulged, modeling a…
When You Are Emotionally Broken and Spiritually Repaired
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
I speak to anyone who has felt emotionally broken and spiritually repaired. When you end a relationship you must endure excruciating pain. For this reason, many remain in less than happy circumstances. The good news? It’s fleeting. It’s akin to ripping off a band-aid or wincing until the immunization is over. It is a temporary space occupied…
The 2 Shockingly Simple Components Necessary to Save a Marriage
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
There is no magic litmus test for whether or not a marriage can be saved. Relationships come in all shapes and sizes. Some miraculously survive affairs, addiction, and other serious afflictions. Why do some endure while others do not? It’s simpler than it appears. We can’t control other people. It takes two beings to resuscitate…
Is Narcissism This Generation’s Alcoholism?
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
I know, a fairly shocking title – read on. There is one topic which never fails to bring an immediate reader response. Narcissism. My mother was what I would call a forerunner in the world of alcoholism. In a generation of women who stayed silent and dutiful in marriage and most importantly either ignored the…
