I started Relearn Relationship to share with others what God has done in my life. I am passionate about people seeing themselves as God sees them and learning to live from their true hearts, applying their strengths and giftings to their lives, and connecting through relationships in a deep and authentic way.
My husband and I have been married for almost 20 years and have five amazing children, ages 10-20. We have been foster parents to teenagers and welcomed many people into our home. Our marriage and family have survived through teen pregnancy, miscarriages, separation, almost divorce, and battling through addictions. Now, on the other side, I am learning how to genuinely relationally connect and be together with those I love in all the difficult places I find myself. I am learning the painful and beautiful reality of becoming my true self as I lay aside my performance and fear so that I can live from the heart Jesus gave me.
I have learned to live life fully alive, which means I deal with ongoing pain, sorrow, and struggle, and also at the same time experience great peace and joy.
I have a Practical Nursing Degree and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a Cognate in Addiction and Recovery. My work experience has included a children's residential behavioral health treatment center, a mobile Mental Health Crisis team, working with Crisis stabilization clients, Adult Rehabilitative mental health services, substance use and Chemical health assessments, managing an in home health care program, working in churches, and starting recovery programs (Celebrate Recovery & Mending the Soul). I have done one-on-one Coaching, couples Coaching, family Coaching, run education groups and support groups, developed and taught various trainings and speak at events and for large and small gatherings regularly.
"Millie is the mother of mothers in this sisterhood. She is our go-to for all kinds of advice, ranging from potty-training to homeschooling, connecting to our toddlers’ hearts, and beyond, and she has been a mother to each of us in various ways at different times. As an avid learner, she knows something about almost everything. She has found Jesus to be true to his word, and his presence and love overflows from her life. Millie has counted the cost and determined Jesus to be worthy of her full heart. She leads us in relational wisdom and overflows with compassion. She is incapable of making a small meal, which means that there is always room for one more at her table."- Alex Nordlund
What is Relearn Relationship?
Relearn Relationship emerged from my personal journey to reconsider everything I understood about human connections. I experienced a spiritual awakening where I recognized my lack of authenticity was preventing me from fulfilling my God-given potential and experiencing meaningful relationships. I immersed myself in Christian spirituality, psychological studies, and recovery principles. This exploration led me to discover my true identity, along with insights into interpersonal neurobiology, nervous system functioning, spiritual battles, trauma effects, and relationship wisdom. I aim to share these discoveries to help you reconnect internally with God and yourself, establishing love as the foundation for how you experience relationships and how others experience you. This transformation will enable unconditional love to naturally extend from you into all your relationships.
