Relationship Articles

One day, 8 years ago, a day like any other day, my wife for 30 years told me that she was not happy, that she had met someone else, and that she wanted to split and start a new life. I could not believe it, but I knew she was serious about it. Until that moment, I was 110% convinced that she could not be without me. At that precise moment, my entire world collapsed, and my heart got broken in so many pieces. It was impossible for me to accept her leaving. We continue living together for a while, thinking that it was better for our son, but she continued to move ahead in her own life. Then I understood that she was, in reality, looking for herself. I was so desperate; I did not realize how I would be able to continue my life without her because, for me, she was my life.

One day I found an article talking about a similar situation and middle life crisis, which made a lot of sense for me. It was Casey’s. I send him a message explaining to him that I was in a similar situation and would like to talk with him. I was so surprised when just some hours after I received an answer saying that of course, he could. From that moment, Casey’s wisdom, patience, and love guided me to a new world: the real world. The world that our conditioned minds do not want to or cannot see. A world of no judgment, awareness, and love. The three elements that allow us to open our hearts and see with different eyes and to connect with ourselves and others in a completely different way.

It took me several years to accept and release, it was my own time, as Casey used to say, and he was there patiently waiting for me. Three years ago, while I was still finalizing the process, I met Mariana, and we started a long-distance relationship, and we will now be getting married soon. If I had not been able to release, if I had not been able to connect in a different and deeper way, if I had never got to understand what to be aware was, I don’t think I would have even met Mariana.

Thanks so much Casey! For being there for me and others. Thanks for your infinite patience and love.

My life had been thrown into a world of Chaos when my wife went through her Midlife Crisis. I sought out information on how to deal with it and came across Personal Tao. Reading the information that Casey has written on his sight regarding Midlife Transformations really gave me some insight to what I was going through. He has a way of writing that makes the complex easy with a sense of calm and understanding. With his one on one coaching, Casey really helped guide and teach me how to deal with my situation through kindness and non-judgement. He made me realize early on that my wife has chosen a different path which doesn’t include me. This was very hard to accept but through Casey’s teachings, I learned to use this experience for personal growth, acceptance, and non-judgement.

One of the biggest things Casey taught me is how to release all of the old things I had been holding on to. I now look back on this experience with grace. He encouraged me to start creating a life based around what I want. There were so many times in our phone conversations where the teachings totally resonated with me and really hit home. If there is one thing I would encourage people to do, I would tell them to seek out a life coach. Casey is that person and I am truly blessed to have crossed paths with. I plan on making a trip back to the Islands soon and hope to get a chance to meet this most amazing Teacher.
