For the men in our lives who recognize their contribution to a struggling relationship, and who are ready to start doing the work for the relationship and for themselves.

If you came here from Dennis Crosby and The Authentic Man, you already know what it means to stop waiting and take responsibility for your life. That same commitment, to become a stronger, clearer version of yourself, is exactly what the offerings below are built for.
I’m Kara Stamback. For 30 years I’ve coached people through the hardest transitions life hands them, with a specialty in midlife. Midlife is the moment everything you built no longer fits the way it used to, and you’re asked to figure out who you are next. My work draws on the kind of grounded, practical tools that help you stay regulated and clear-headed in the moments that matter most. In relationships, that’s communication and crucial conversations. While my focus is midlife, my real expertise is transition, any moment where the ground shifts and the old map stops working.
Whether that transition shows up for you, or for the wife or partner you’re trying to understand, this work is for anyone ready to look honestly at what’s underneath. That includes the men in this program doing the hard work of rebuilding, and it can be valuable to their wives and partners, whether they’re new to this kind of self-examination or already deep in their own therapy or coaching and looking for another perspective.
These offers are exclusively available to people in Dennis’s program and their wives or partners.
Offer 1 — Attachment Exploration with Elizabeth Murphy
Your attachment style shapes how you connect, communicate, and show up in conflict — often without you ever naming it. In this 90-minute session, Elizabeth and I work together to help you identify your attachment style in your primary romantic relationship, and unpack how it’s shaping your patterns around connection, communication, and problem-solving. You’ll leave with a clear picture of how your history is showing up in your partnership today — and a first set of skills to shift it.
90 minutes | $235
Offer 2 — Attachment Deep Dive
(add-on to Offer 1)
For those who want to go further: three additional 60-minute sessions to put your attachment style into practice — working through the specific patterns, conversations, and moments where it’s costing you the most. Add this on any time after your Attachment Exploration, with no penalty for waiting.
3 sessions | $790 total with Attachment Exploration
Offer 3 — Wheel of Life
A 90-minute assessment across the major areas of your life — relationship, career, health, purpose, and more — to identify where you’re thriving and where you’re stuck. Together we’ll pinpoint the one or two areas that, if addressed, would move everything else. If you choose to go deeper, three additional sessions focus specifically on the areas that need the most attention.
90 minutes | $235
Deep dive: 90-minute Wheel of Life + 3 sessions | $790
