When your partner has a serious illness or condition, it’s hard to know where to begin.
- Your family life is turned upside down.
- You never expected to be a caregiver at this stage in your life.
- You don’t know what the future holds.
- You’re confused about the best next steps and need support now more than ever.
- You are strong, but caregiving for your partner is starting to take its toll.
Being a caregiver for a partner is exhausting, physically and emotionally. Unless someone has experienced it first-hand, it’s difficult to understand the profound impact it has on every area of your life.
I know because I’ve been there.
I also know how to find clarity in the confusion and stability in the uncertainty, and I want to show you.
The “What if?” thoughts never seem to stop when your partner has a serious illness.
What if… they don’t get better?
What if… the treatment makes them worse?
What if… my children lose their father?
What if… I become a widow?
I’m here to ask you these “What if?” questions instead.
WHAT IF… you could find strategies to better handle all your negative thoughts and emotions?
WHAT IF… you could learn to truly be strong for them instead of just pretending on the outside?
WHAT IF… you could take care of them without feeling guilty or losing yourself?
It is POSSIBLE.
If you want to learn how to grow and become emotionally stronger so you can navigate your partner’s cancer diagnosis with more peace and less confusion, this course is for YOU!
What do I know about being a caregiver for a spouse with a serious illness?
I have been through this, my friend. I know how hard it is. The year I turned 40, in the midst of working and raising our 5-year-old, we found out my husband had cancer.
Our life turned upside down overnight.
I’ll never forget the shock of walking into the hospital’s cancer center for the first time and thinking… How did we end up here?
We “powered through” that first year. But after three years of the stress and strain of it all, I was starting to wear thin, which is exactly what you might be feeling right now. I told myself my needs weren’t important anymore. And I pretended to be strong when I was actually exhausted, frustrated, and angry. Can you relate?
Then, I MADE A DECISION THAT CHANGED MY LIFE!
I decided right then to take care of ME so I could take care of my family in the way I truly wanted.
I began a journey to develop my own strength and resilience, during which I gained key insights from my own experience, from coaching others, and through training as a life coach.
Now I’m sharing what I learned so that you don’t have to figure it out the hard way.
There is hope in the hopelessness of your partner’s diagnosis, and it starts with YOU.
You can regain yourself and your sanity and finally take back control of your life again.
In this course, I teach you the 4 resiliency habits and insights that transformed my experience as a caregiver and partner in a simplified and easy-to-digest format.
You need new habits. When your partner has cancer, your old ones are no longer valid. Everything is different. You need to learn habits that serve you and build your strength and endurance. It’s essential.
None of us are equipped for all the challenges that arise when our partner has cancer. It can feel like a marathon you didn't realize you were signing up for.
This marathon requires different skills, and that's exactly what this course will teach you.
It’s time to stop just getting by. The more resilient you are, the more able you’ll be to show up for all the people who need you most.
Caregivers burn out because they put their mental and emotional health last. They tell themselves their needs just aren't important. Inevitably, their health begins to suffer, and they aren’t able to be there when their partner or family needs them most.
If you do nothing different today, will you have the strength and skills to cope if things get worse?
Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen to you!

Here’s what others are saying about using these resources to navigate caregiving for their partner.
“This course has been a great help for me. I would highly recommend Marika to anyone whose spouse is going through cancer, or just coping with everyday living, marriage or raising kids. It was quite an eye-opener for me to learn to process my thoughts and emotions and then move forward.” - Janet K.
“When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, I really had the wind knocked out of me. I sought help from several different support professionals who were wonderful at listening to my feelings but did not help me move forward or solve problems. As soon as I had my first introductory session with Marika, I knew she was different from the others. She quickly identified the key issues I struggled with, and I could tell she understood. Marika is reliable, smart, organized, kind, and really great at what she does. She has a thorough understanding of the issues facing individuals whose spouses have cancer. I highly recommend her program for anyone who finds themselves in this challenging life circumstance.” - Cindy G.
“My husband‘s health had deteriorated and his cancer had come back as stage four. All of my emotions and the impact of it made me feel very powerless and full of despair. It was at that point I realized I couldn’t do this alone. I wanted help from someone that understood the journey and could help me find my way back to myself. Now, I feel more empowered, liberated, at ease and stronger than I have ever felt… I can’t imagine going through this without Marika’s coaching.” - Naz F.
