Happy Wife, Happy Life
Group Coaching for women who want a marriage that’s playful, peaceful and more connected than ever before
Magnetise your man and receive the support and affection you’ve been wanting.
I know it’s impossible to imagine right now when you are so annoyed at him for not mowing the lawn, forgetting to bring milk home or working late yet again when you were hoping he would help out with the kids. I get it. I’ve been where you are. But I promise there is a way to get more help from him and feel like he is your biggest supporter. Really, it’s true.
The honeymoon is long over.
Some (most) days it feels like you’re the only adult in your relationship. Work, kids, family drama, finances/cost of living, stray lego pieces on the floor seemingly positioned to dig into your tender foot and crush your soul on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night… The responsibilities just never end.
You used to think it would be you and your husband against the world but lately it’s been feeling a bit lonely in the driver’s seat and his lack of care and/or affection is disappointing at best, devastatingly painful at worst.
You are doing your best trying to keep the household running but it’s EXHAUSTING. And he just can’t seem to do anything right no matter how many times you explain what you need or want from him.
Do any of these sound familiar?
You’re too busy for self care because if you don’t do it then it doesn’t get done
You’ve told your husband you need more help from him but he still isn’t showing up the way you wish he would
You feel tired and stressed and unsupported
He doesn’t seem to listen or really hear you
If only he would change and do what you ask then you could be happy
You don’t particularly want a divorce but sometimes you wonder if you’re settling, if there could be something/someone better out there for you.
That’s hard. You have the weight of the world on your shoulders and you want to be happy but it just feels impossible to get there without his cooperation.
You want to feel like he’s your partner in life and that you have each other’s backs.
You've tried it all: Relationship books and podcasts
Working out what your love languages are (who doesn’t love a good quiz?)
Marriage counselling/therapy
Pouring your heart out to your girlfriends/sisters/Mum about him
Asking him to talk about how he’s feeling
Telling him what you need to feel loved or what he could do to be a better husband/father
Yelling at him, hoping he’ll finally hear and understand you
You’ve communicated ‘til you’re blue in the face.
And nothing has worked. Yet.
You’re not alone.Marriage counselling is the next step right? But what if you can’t get him on board? Or if he agrees to go and you spend an hour complaining about one another, getting it all out of your system and then arguing in the car all the way home with no real path forward or helpful strategies but another session booked in for the following week.
Been there, done that. And it didn’t work for me, just as it doesn’t for the majority of couples who try it. In fact it felt as though counselling made my relationship worse. So what’s the solution?
Your friends and family can see that you’re unhappy. They just want what’s best for you. And you do deserve better!
But they’re not in your situation. Even though you’re disappointed and unhappy, you know deep down that he’s a great guy or you wouldn’t have married him. You want him to step up and earn your love and respect, to be better and make you happy.
You can fix your relationship without his help.
You can fix your relationship without his help.
Wait, what?!
It’s time to take action. You need the simple skills and tools that you can learn and put into practice starting today to make your marriage happy, peaceful, passionate and the envy of all your girlfriends.
And you need the support to do just that. But not just any support, you need someone who’s been there, done that and lived to tell the raw, honest, inspiring, roller-coaster-ride-but-worth-it tale.
Hey, I’m Peggy.
I’m a certified Laura Doyle Relationship Coach based in Australia.
I help women who feel stuck and unhappy in their marriage to bring back the peace, attraction, connection and playfulness with their man. Even if it feels like he’s already got one foot (or two) out the door.
Heartbroken, scared, angry, desperate and headed for a messy divorce… that was me. Feeling hopeless and wishing there was something else I could do because marriage counselling only seemed to be making things worse. I wanted to be happy and I wanted my husband to be happy but everything and everyone seemed to be telling us we could only achieve that by breaking our family apart and going our separate ways.
I didn’t want to believe that. I wanted to fix things, to heal from past hurts and bring back the love and emotional connection we’d once shared. I wanted to feel safe, supported, to be on the same team and for my husband to want me again. When I thought all hope was lost, I found the skills and tools I needed to transform my relationship and now I help women like you to practise those same skills and tools.
But that’s not fair! Why do I have to be the one to fix OUR relationship?
You’re right. It doesn’t feel fair. It’s his relationship too (he’s made just as many if not more mistakes than you) and you want to do this together with his support and an equal amount of effort. I get it. But you’re the one reading this page. Try as we might, we can’t force our husbands to change (trust me, I’ve tried).
You (as the woman) are the one with the emotional brilliance (sorry guys but it’s true, we women are better at dealing with feelings) and you are the one with the ability to make your marriage better than ever.
Can you feel that warmth starting in your tummy and spreading through your body right now? That’s hope.
I’ve got you. Let’s do this together.

“But Peggy, I’ve been trying to get my husband to help out more, to communicate with me better and to really hear me and understand where I’m coming from for ages. How do I know if this is going to work for me?”
I’ll be honest with you, nothing in life is 100% guaranteed. But let me ask you this: Did you marry the first guy you dated? Maybe the answer is yes, but for most of us, we had to kiss a few frogs before we found our prince. The point is, you didn’t go on one date and then give up. If you made it here then you’re either married or in a long term relationship and you’ve probably met a few guys along the way who weren’t right for you. If everything you’ve tried while attempting to fix your marriage so far has failed, don’t lose hope yet because the Intimacy Skills have worked for thousands of women all over the world.
I do know that you will have the best chance of success in this program if:
You want to save your marriage and you’re willing to work for it
You have read/listened to “The Empowered Wife” by Laura Doyle (or her podcast by the same name) and wondered whether she had a hidden camera in your house
You haven’t read the book but you’re very curious and willing to learn and experiment with a different way of doing things (because let’s face it, there’s a lot of bad relationship advice out there that doesn’t work)
You’ve started practising the Six Intimacy Skills and seen a tiny bit of improvement but you’re struggling to stay motivated because it’s hard work doing it on your own
You’re not sure if these skills are going to work for you the way they have worked for so many other women but you’re willing to try
You’re exhausted from trying to do everything and make everyone else happy - you’re ready to focus on and invest in yourself!
This might NOT be for you if:
You are living in fear that your partner will hurt you or your children. If you or your kids have suffered repeated abuse then I support you doing whatever you need to do to get safe. If you’re in Australia a good place to start is by calling 1800RESPECT (1800 737 7328) or texting 0458 737 732.
You do not enjoy personal development—learning, growing, changing—and taking responsibility for your own actions.
You just want to complain and blame and focus on the past. If that’s the case then therapy might be a better fit for you. Coaching is about taking action and practising the skills and tools that will help you show up differently in the future. It takes courage and commitment to transform yourself and your relationship.
You’re happy being unhappy. Sometimes you’re just not ready to change and it can feel easier/more comfortable to stay where you are than to step out of your comfort zone and try something new and different.
Here’s the deal.
If you’ve already read “The Empowered Wife” by Laura Doyle (and I highly recommend you do) then you already know about the Six Intimacy Skills™. So what can a Laura Doyle Relationship Coach (and Intimacy Skills Expert) help you do that you can’t do for yourself? I’m glad you asked.
As your Coach I’ll help you:
-
Even when you can’t imagine your vision for your relationship coming true, I’ll be there standing for you, believing in you.
-
As women we love to be “helpful”. But what if you could let go of all the pressure you put on yourself to make his life easier?
-
Big or small, all wins deserve to be celebrated and recognised as progress towards your vision.
-
Because it’s so easy to see and fixate on all the bad stuff that’s happening when you’re in a crisis that we often miss the things that are going right.
-
Coaching is all about moving forward, experimenting with new skills and tools and I’ll be here with you, supporting you and cheering you on all the way.
-
Not sure why your husband is angry with you or says mean things? I’ve got you.
-
Group coaching is a safe space and tears are welcome, they don’t scare me.
-
No two marriages or challenges are quite the same so receiving personalised support can speed up your results.
-
Because it’s so tempting to tell your husband what he’s doing wrong, right? The problem is, in my experience, it just doesn’t work.
You’ll discover that you are the one with the power to heal your relationship, even if it feels like he’s the one who’s caused the breakdown.

Marriage counselling tends to focus on the problem, in other words what’s wrong with the relationship or with the people in it (childhood trauma anyone?) and things that have happened between you and your partner in the past. Coaching is more about the solution and taking responsibility for your own part rather than blaming and complaining.
It may not always feel fair (I know, he’s made mistakes too) but coaching empowers you with specific skills and simple actions that you can take to change up those old dysfunctional patterns and move forward. Unlike therapy, you’ll also get to hear real-life examples of how I’ve used the skills in my own relationships (with my husband, kids and many others in my life) so you can learn from my mistakes and triumphs and take away something to experiment with in your own life.
-
Group Coaching Calls are held live via Zoom on the second Tuesday of each month at 8 pm AEST (Qld time).
-
Each group call will go for 1 hour. We start with 20 minutes of check-ins where whoever wants to share can tell the group how they have been winning with the skills. Then we’ll move onto the coaching portion where you’ll have the chance to nominate yourself to receive coaching on a specific challenge for about 20 minutes and we will finish with take-aways.
Regardless of who is coached on the call, I find I can always take something away for myself, whether it is a cheat phrase to practise, a realisation of a blind spot or maybe a skill I want to experiment with. I can’t wait to hear what you learn and take away for yourself on each group call.
-
Zoom is free and easy to set up, just follow the instructions provided on the Zoom website. You can use it on your computer or through the Zoom app on your phone or tablet. There are also free Zoom video tutorials on YouTube.
-
As a member you are eligible to attend live group coaching calls. You also have access to recordings of past group calls and the exclusive Happy Wife Happy Life WhatsApp chat where you can connect with other women practicing the intimacy skills. The group chat is a special place where you get to receive support, stand for your own and other women’s marriages and celebrate your wins with the intimacy skills.
-
If you are unable to attend the live group call that’s ok. You can still catch up (and find some gold nuggets to take away for yourself) by listening to the recording. You are welcome (and encouraged) to share your biggest takeaway in the group chat on WhatsApp!

Oh beautiful friend, I hear you. I thought that too. When my marriage was at its lowest point I felt so lonely, scared and hopeless. And a bit angry to be honest because I felt like I was the only one putting any energy into saving our relationship.
When I personally started working with a coach, it was a last-ditch effort. I had tried so many things in the past that just hadn’t worked, including marriage counselling.
But coaching actually worked. It gave me new skills, tools and the support I needed to put them into practice. Coaching empowered me, gave me hope and I started to see real progress in my relationship. I want that for you too!
If monthly group coaching doesn’t sound like it’s going to be enough to save your relationship, I can relate. I started out in group coaching and quickly realised I needed extra support. 1:1 personalised coaching is where you’ll have those big breakthroughs you’ve been hoping for even faster.

Are you ready to fix the problems that are keeping you stuck and move towards having a happy, peaceful, passionate marriage that you can feel proud of?
Of course you are.
