Founding Member Price: $359. Available through August 31, 2026. Moves to $399 in September.
A Self-Guided Program for Couples
You love each other. You're probably ready. But there's a quiet
nervousness underneath all of it, the feeling that there are
conversations you haven't fully had yet and you probably should. You
really want things to go well with this person. This program was built for
that feeling.
You're One of the First
This is a founding cohort. The $199 price is only available to the first group of couples going through the program with me - not a countdown, a standing invitation while the cohort is forming.
One-time payment · Access for both of you

Why This Exists
I got married young. I didn't ask the right questions. I didn't know what they were or that I should even be thinking about it.
What followed was one of the hardest chapters of my life. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. And somewhere in the middle of rebuilding everything, my finances, my home, my sense of myself, I became a relationship coach. Not because I had all the answers, because I had been through the cost of not asking the right questions. I don't want that for you.
I built “Before You Say I Do” because I wish something like it had existed for me. Eight guided modules covering the conversations that actually matter, the ones most couples skip, assume, or put off until they're already married and wondering why things are harder than they expected.
You don't have to do it the hard way. That's the whole point.

This Program Is for You If
You love your partner and want to go in with your eyes open, not just your heart full
You want to talk about money, family, children, and values before you commit, not after
You want something you can do together, on your own time, that actually goes deep
You have a quiet nervousness you haven't fully named, and you want to
You're getting married for the first time, or the second, and you want to get it right this time
You're ready to do real work, not looking for a quick fix or someone to tell you everything will be fine

What's Inside
Each module starts with a coaching video, then walks you through exercises,
worksheets, and reflection guides you and your partner complete together.
No outside help needed, everything you need is inside.
01
Emotional Needs & Love Languages
Understand how you each give and receive love, before anything else. Includes attachment styles.
02
Communication & Conflict Resolution
Why you keep having the same fight, and how to actually resolve it.
03
Family of Origin & In-Laws
You're not just marrying each other. You're marrying each other's history.
04
Values, Faith & Life Vision
Where are you each going, and is it the same place?
05
Roles, Responsibilities & Career
The silent expectations that become the biggest resentments.
06
Finances
Money is rarely about money. It's about safety, control, and what you each grew up believing.
07
Intimacy & Physical Connection
The physical and emotional connection that holds a relationship together over time.
08
Children & Parenting
Beyond yes or no, the deeper conversation most couples haven't had.
This is a founding cohort. Modules 1 through 3 are ready for you now. The rest arrive one per week as we go, so you're moving through the program together with me rather than waiting for a finished shelf product.
You'll never be without something to work on, and you'll be part of shaping how this course grows.
Cohort starts [September date — confirm with Lorelei]

What You'll Walk Away With
Clarity about whether you're choosing each other for the right reasons, and confidence that you are
Real conversations you've had together, not assumed, not deferred, not left for later
A shared understanding of each other's emotional needs, values, and what you're each building toward
The kind of foundation that holds when life gets hard, and it will
A relationship agreement you create together, your own set of commitments and intentions

Investment
Put the Investment in Perspective
The average wedding now costs around $36,000, and that's if you're being very careful. A contested divorce typically costs $15,000 to $30,000 in legal fees alone, and could be much more, plus that doesn't count the years, the heartbreak, or what it costs the people you love. This program costs $199. Next to what you're protecting, it's one of the most practical investments a couple can make.

Our Promise
Built to deliver, or I make it right

Built to deliver, or I make it right

Have Questions?
You can reach me directly through the contact link on this page. I read every message.

Q Do we both need to do it together?
The program is designed for both of you to work through together, that's where the value is. Some individual reflection exercises are done separately first, then you come together to discuss. You set your own pace.
Q We're not engaged. Is this still right for us?
Yes, for sure. The program is also for couples who are considering committing, not only those who already have. In fact, some couples discover through the program that they need more time before they're ready. That's not a failure. That's the program working exactly as it should.
Q How long does it take?
Most couples move through one module per week and complete the program in eight weeks. You can go faster or slower, there's no deadline.
Q Is this therapy or counseling?
No. This is a self-guided coaching program. It's designed to be educational, reflective, and practical, not therapeutic treatment. If you're navigating something that requires clinical support, I'd encourage you to seek that out alongside or before this program.
Q What if we have questions as we go?
You can reach me directly through the contact link on this page. I read every message.
Q Are all 8 modules available right away?
Modules 1 through 3 are ready when you enroll. Modules 4 through 8 are delivered weekly as the founding cohort moves through the program together. You'll always have this week's material before you need it.
