Resentment in a marriage can quietly diminish connection, especially when communication breaks down and cultural differences create misunderstandings. Many couples struggle to find their way back to each other before giving up entirely. But for Lily and Jacob Petersen, that turning point came just in time.
“My husband and I were in a relationship crisis and were close to opting for divorce,” Lily shared. “We truly couldn’t communicate properly.”
Like many couples navigating cross-cultural challenges, Lily and Jacob found themselves stuck—unable to express what hurt, what mattered, or how to reconnect. That’s when they decided to seek coaching.
“We found out about Teresa Ruiz Pedersen and got in touch with her. Personally, talking with Teresa helped me a lot because I was able to release resentments and truly express what was bothering or irritating me in my relationship with my husband. In short, everything related to the clash between two cultures.”
Through coaching, Lily and Jacob learned to communicate effectively and listen empathetically. They moved beyond resentment by identifying emotional blocks and reworking how they approached conflict and parenting.
“Coaching with Teresa Ruiz Pedersen helped us achieve good couple communication, clarify our feelings, and come to understand and reflect on personal decisions that also involved our son. Thanks to this, our family is still together today.”
But the transformation didn’t stop at home. Teresa’s guidance also helped Lily step into a new chapter—one of independence and confidence in a new country.
“Teresa also helped me enter the Danish work environment. She advised me on how to look for a job and become financially independent. My questions or doubts about the job market in Denmark were very well clarified by Teresa, who has great knowledge about the employment rules in Denmark.”
For Lily, the coaching experience wasn’t just about saving a marriage—it was about reclaiming her voice, her goals, and her strength.
“I recommend Teresa because she is a very professional person with great energy to help find solutions to improve a relationship or find self-confidence to look for a job.”
