Bridget Budd

After a 25 year career in corporate sales, I was lucky enough to retire at the early age of 47.  After retiring, my focus turned inward in a concentrated effort to create the secure, fulfilling (4th) marriage I had envisioned 7 years prior. That journey led me on an accelerated personal growth path, which not only dramatically improved my marriage, it also made clear my passion for sharing what I learned with others.  

Today, I am certified trauma-informed life coach and a certified holistic health coach.  I help my private clients recognize that it’s their own patterns, beliefs and behaviors holding them back from creating the relationship they truly desire.  I have a passion for supporting  people who want to create more self-awareness, navigate stress/anxiety, and improve their marriages.

I am currently finishing my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, completing certification through The Relationship School, co-creating an online course on stress, and simultaneously writing my first book.  Inspired by The Human Condition, the work I do with my clients, and my own deep inner work, I created the concept of The Marriage Condition.  I define The Marriage Condition as:  the characteristics and key milestones of married life, including union, conflict resolution, intimacy, secure attachment, interdependence, self-mastery, expansion and conclusion.  My belief is that the spiritual purpose of marriage is personal growth, and not happiness. 

I feels my life’s work is to serve others from my own wounds, and to share the wisdom of those wounds without being clouded by them at the same time.  I currently divide my time between my family, my personal growth, my marriage, Wholistic Life & Nutrition which is my private coaching business, and research related to relationships.  This research includes how attachment theory, polyvagal theory, survival patterns, dysregulation and negative childhood/adolescent experiences can contribute to feeling unfulfilled in intimate relationships  

The Marriage Condition mission is to bring refuge, compassion and mindful solutions to people struggling with personal fulfillment in their intimate relationships.
