DR. MARCIA

Counselor. Chaplain. Author. Coach. Speaker

Dr. Marcia’s journey as an author began one Friday night when inspiration struck in the form of two thoughts—a scoreless football game and the phrase “boys don’t cry.” These seemingly unrelated ideas soon intertwined, revealing profound connections between emotional expression and relationships. This revelation became the very foundation for her book, Team Us.

For over a decade, her cousin’s words, “Writing is your primary language,” echoed in her mind, and when the moment came, they guided her to fully embrace her path as a writer. Drawing on her rich life experiences and academic background in ministry, counseling, and psychology, Marcia crafted a narrative that challenges outdated beliefs and champions emotional authenticity.

Beyond her writing, Marcia finds joy in life’s simple pleasures—sharing football games with her family, savoring a great cup of coffee, practicing mindfulness, and finding peace in the movement of water. Through Team Us, she offers readers a thoughtful guide to building meaningful and lasting bonds, driven by her commitment to helping others understand and strengthen their relationships.

about the book

It’s widely recognized that successful relationships require effort, commitment, and practical strategies to remain strong. But who teaches us these strategies, and, more importantly, how do we implement them?

Welcome to Team Us: A Playbook for Healthy Relationships

Team Us: A Playbook for Healthy Relationships offers a fresh approach to relationship self-help by combining the excitement of sports with actionable relationship insights. This guide is perfect for those who find conventional advice a bit too abstract or disconnected. By using football imagery and language, practical relationship strategies become more relatable and engaging for both men and women.

Inside Team Us, you’ll discover how to:

Harness the Power of Praise: Learn the art of cheerleading your partner with affirmations and compliments. Just as athletes thrive on support from fans, your partner will flourish with regular encouragement and appreciation, enhancing your bond.

Establish Sacred Time: Find out how to create special moments dedicated solely to positive reinforcement and emotional connection, much like strategic timeouts in a game. This concept strengthens your relationship and builds mutual respect.

Cultivate Mutual Reverence: Understand the importance of honoring and respecting each other’s needs and perspectives, ensuring a balanced and supportive relationship.

Some chapters in the book are:

The Strength of Vulnerability: A New Playbook for Masculinity: Redefine the age-old adage “Boys don’t cry” and learn how addressing emotional availability can enhance your relationship.

Quarterbacking Connections: The Art of Being Present: Learn how to actively engage in your relationship with the same focus as a quarterback in the game. This chapter emphasizes the importance of being fully present, listening deeply, and showing empathy to strengthen your connection.

If you’ve tried in the past to engage your partner in “relationship talk,” but traditional books didn’t cut it, this book may be the answer. By using relatable football imagery, Team Us makes important concepts accessible and appealing for men, providing a meaningful and practical tool for couples seeking to strengthen their bond.

Each chapter is filled with fascinating insights, hands-on exercises, and a Story Time that connects the material to everyday life. Throughout the book, you are encouraged to apply the concepts and tools in your own relationship.

Gratitude in the Rain: Finding Light Amidst the Storm

Today, as I sat on my patio, the soulful melody of Hezekiah Walker’s “I Am Grateful” played in the background, mingling with the gentle mist of rain. This serene setting naturally led me to reflect deeply on the blessings in my life. My mind began to run a tally of all the things for which I am deeply grateful. Gratitude, I’ve come to realize, is far more than a fleeting emotion; it is a profound, humbling practice that grounds me in the reality of my blessings. While I sat there, a wave of emotions washed over me, causing tears to well up in my eyes. It was at that moment that I couldn’t help but reflect on the immense love and support of my family. I also pondered the incredible gift of...

The Colors We Overlook: Finding Value in Diversity

Have you ever wondered why we so often reach for what’s familiar without a second thought? What seems like a small, automatic choice may reveal more about us than we realize. Recently, I conducted an informal experiment during a meeting. As participants walked into the room, they were greeted with a small but deliberate choice: a table with highlighters laid out in five distinct colors—pink, orange, yellow, green, and blue. As people gathered, they casually picked up the color of their choice before proceeding to find their seat. Most people didn’t give it much thought. Yellow, the most familiar and perhaps the least surprising option, quickly became the crowd’s favorite. It was a choice that seemed insignificant at the moment. Still, as I observed, it became clear that this simple act mirrored...
