This is the kind of pain that doesn't look dramatic from the outside, but inside, it's all you think about. You're doing your best. But now... you're not sure who you are without their daily presence. This isn't about being weak. It's about being human in the hardest kind of waiting game.
They said they needed space. No one told you how to survive it.
Love In Limbo?
You’re trying to act chill, but your heart races every time your phone buzzes.
They seem fine, while you’re falling apart in the grocery store parking lot, holding back tears in the checkout line.
You’re agonizing over every message, wondering if you’re saying too much… or not enough.
You’ve read all the advice, given them space, and done everything right, but nothing’s changing.
This Is What Relationship Limbo Actually Feels Like:
Space was supposed to give you clarity. All it’s given you is heartache. You keep searching for the “right” thing to do, but everything feels like too much, or not enough.
Trust yourself enough to stop chasing clarity… and start creating it.
Feel proud of how you’re handling this, even if it’s not going the way you hoped.
Stay connected to your truth, even when they’re distant or unclear.
Show up to hard conversations without spiraling or second-guessing every word.
Imagine if you could…
You’re not here to wait around. You’re here to reclaim yourself.
Because just surviving the space? That’s not the goal.
But deep down, what you really want isn’t just to “fix it.” It’s to feel like you again, clearer, calmer, more grounded in your own skin.
You don’t want to go back to how things were, walking on eggshells, feeling unseen, second-guessing your worth every time something felt off.
You want to move forward with more clarity, more confidence, and more emotional strength, no matter what comes next. You want to know that this time, you didn’t lose yourself trying to hold it all together. You showed up fully. For them, yes. But more importantly, for you.
Because deep down…
You’re Not Falling Apart. Your Brain Just Thinks You’re in Danger.
TRUTH BOMB: THIS ISN’T YOU BEING DRAMATIC. IT’S BIOLOGY.
this is what panic feels like
When someone you love asks for space, it’s like your body slams the panic button. You can’t focus. You reread old texts, rewrite new ones, and spiral through a thousand what-ifs.
There’s a reason for that. MRI studies show that romantic rejection activates the same part of your brain as physical pain. The same area that lights up when you burn your hand also fires when someone you love pulls away.
it's not weakness. It's a trauma response.
You’re not broken. You’re not “too much.” You’re having a trauma response. Your nervous system is trying to protect you, but it doesn’t know how to shut off.
That’s where the Roadmap comes in. Before you send that late-night message or search “what to text when they ask for space,” this is your pause point. The Roadmap helps you regulate the internal storm. To slow the spinout. To get back to yourself, before the panic leads the conversation.
And the best part? You're not alone.
The way you respond here can shift everything. And you don’t have to do it alone. You’ll be surrounded by people who’ve been where you are, who get it, and who are learning the same skills right alongside you.
Your brain’s not broken. It’s protecting you.
Access to guided meditations, reflection prompts, and live coaching to help you stay regulated
Four
A private, supportive community of others walking the same tightrope
Three
Scripts and tools for clear, grounded communication, especially when things feel fragile
Two
A proven daily structure that helps reduce emotional spirals and restore your sense of self
One
A guided four-week reset for individuals navigating the painful “in-between” of space and separation, designed to help you regulate your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and communicate with clarity (instead of panic).
You don’t have to guess what to do next. You don’t have to unravel alone. You don’t have to keep searching Reddit threads at 3am.
This is your day-by-day path out of the chaos. Inside, you’ll find the exact structure, tools, and support system we’ve used with hundreds of individuals to help them feel more grounded, emotionally equipped, and confident about how to move forward.
Whether your partner is living in the next room, across town, or has gone silent altogether, this process gives you the map back to you.
The Love In Limbo: 30-Day Roadmap
Look no further, introducing....
YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:
roadmap graduate
"I’ve learned how to focus on myself instead of constantly worrying about my partner.
For the first time, I feel like I have a clear path forward. The roadmap taught me how to prioritize my needs and regain my sense of self."
Calm the Chaos: Emotional Regulation
- Self-reflection journaling to untangle what just happened
- Your “Anchor List” of go-to tools for when panic flares
- The real reason heartbreak feels like danger, and how to soothe your system when it hits
Week one
Build Resilience: Regain Confidence
week 2
This week, we’ll help you spot the survival strategies you’ve outgrown (like over-explaining, waiting for crumbs, or pretending you’re fine), and replace them with emotional strength you can actually feel. You’ll get tools to handle uncertainty without defaulting to self-blame or anxious action.
- Emotional “weightlifting” to handle silence without collapse
- Tools like the “Emotion Flip Challenge” to turn spirals into insight
- Gentle unpacking of the deeper story this heartbreak is poking at
Communicate with Clarity: Lead with Self-Respect
week three
This week is where words meet wisdom. You’ll learn how to navigate hard conversations (or respectful silence) with confidence, without chasing, fixing, or explaining yourself into exhaustion. You’ll craft language that reflects your truth, not your triggers.
- Your “Emotional Safety Blueprint” for calm, conscious connection
- Learn the difference between reaching out and reaching for
- Practice boundaries that feel like self-love, not just self-protection
week four
Clarify What Comes Next: On Your Terms
By Week 4, the panic has softened and your vision is clearer. Whether you’re leaning toward reconnection, redefining the relationship, or simply pausing with more steadiness, this week is about mapping your next chapter with intention, not urgency.
- Create a “Love Lease” or separation agreement that supports clarity and care
- Craft a future vision rooted in your needs, not fear or pressure
- Use guided rituals and reflection prompts to move forward with courage, wherever you’re headed
What did you think of the community aspect?
Real People. Real Turning Points. Stories from the Roadmap.
What does it actually feel like to come out the other side?
These are the raw, unfiltered stories from people who’ve walked through the Love in Limbo: 30-Day Roadmap. Not experts. Not couples. Just humans, stuck, heart-wrecked, and unsure what to do next, who decided to do something different.
You’ll hear the panic. The hope. The relief of finally having a plan. And the clarity that came with each small, brave step forward.
🎧 If you’re wondering whether this will work for you, press play.
What made you decide to join the roadmap?
Did you hesitate to join the Roadmap? What changed?
What’s the Cost of Staying Stuck?
When your partner asks for space, your nervous system goes into survival mode. And in survival mode, we grasp for relief, anything that might help us feel less confused, less rejected, less powerless.
But here’s the truth:
You’ve probably already spent something, your peace, your time, your dignity, your money, trying to figure this out.
Let’s name a few of the most common paths:
🧊 The Frozen Wait
🧯 The Pressure Play
You could keep doom-scrolling relationship advice, reading Reddit threads, watching TikToks that hit too close to home. But all those tips? They contradict each other. And none of them give you a plan or tell you how to feel human again in the meantime.
🚧 The Search Spiral
01
🚧 The Search Spiral
🧊 The Frozen Wait
🧯 The Pressure Play
🚧 The Search Spiral
You could try to “just talk to them,” send one more text, ask for closure, or beg for clarity. But when space is what they asked for, reaching out without skill doesn’t soothe, it usually sparks defensiveness and more silence.
🧯 The Pressure Play
02
You could try to be the “cool” one. Say nothing. Do nothing. Wait it out. But silence doesn’t equal safety. And pretending you don’t care doesn’t help you reconnect. It just delays your healing.

So What Does Work?
Instead of wasting your days guessing, panicking, and questioning your worth, what if you had a step-by-step roadmap to walk you through this space with grace?
The Love in Limbo: 30-Day Roadmap gives you structure, emotional strength practices, and real-time tools so you can stop reacting out of fear, and start moving from self-respect.
For less than what you’ll spend this month on coffee, takeout, or desperate self-soothing… you could actually start healing.
Because time won’t fix this. But new skills? They just might.

Limited to 75 participants
This is the final live round of the Love in Limbo Roadmap in 2025, and it’s intentionally intimate. We cap the group at just 50 people to make sure everyone gets the support, presence, and attention they deserve.
You’ll get access to live coaching, private community support, daily guidance, and tools that actually help, without disappearing into a sea of strangers.
When the spots are gone… they’re gone. And when the doors close on August 21, we won’t reopen again this year.
No one can guarantee the outcome of your relationship. But we can promise that if you show up, you’ll leave stronger, steadier, and clearer than you started.
our progress promise:
This work isn’t about magic fixes or manipulation tactics. It’s about learning the skills that create emotional clarity, real connection, and inner steadiness, no matter what happens next.
Here’s our promise to you:
If you show up, you won’t stay stuck. If you take the 30 days seriously, listen to the lessons, practice the tools, and ask for support when you need it, you won’t leave the same.
Whether or not your partner comes back, you will come back to yourself.
That’s our Progress Promise.
This is the recipe for true transformation, with the tools, guidance, and community to help you move forward with clarity and courage.

“I was completely blindsided. My rock had cracked, and I had no one to turn to… If it wasn’t for Staci, I likely would’ve lost this extra time for me to choose in and work on my relationship with my wife.”
I found out my wife wanted space during our first couples therapy session. Everything became about separation and divorce, not rebuilding. I felt alone. Then I found The Roadmap. Our status has shifted dramatically, we’ve gone from feeling like divorce was inevitable to having more space and time to work on us. Staci helped me understand how I showed up in my wife’s “movie reel,” and how to stay steady instead of acting out from fear.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with what I found underneath all my complex layers. The Roadmap gave me the tools to stay emotionally present, even in tough conversations.”
Before this, I didn’t know what kind of emotional “monster” I was going to uncover in myself. I was shut down, disconnected, and unsure how to fix things. This program helped me understand that the missing piece in my relationship was me, and gave me the roadmap to reconnect. Now, I don’t spiral or collapse in hard moments. I have tools, language, and perspective to stay grounded and actually repair.

“I’ve begun a journey of introspection, and rediscovered parts of myself I lost along the way.”
When my wife asked for separation, I was devastated. I had support, but no one really got what I was going through. The Roadmap gave me more than tools, it gave me a space to process, reflect, and grow. I’ve started taking accountability for what’s in my control, and I’m finally finding peace with what isn’t. If you’re on the fence, I can’t recommend it enough. I’m beyond thankful for the journey it started for me.
“It felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, unsure what the next step was. The Roadmap gave me the tools to move forward, and the confidence to believe I could.”
I was overwhelmed, anxious, and paralyzed by fear during the end of my marriage. The 30-Day Roadmap helped me reframe my perspective, strengthen my emotional foundation, and gave me community when I felt most alone. It didn’t just soothe me, it taught me how to rebuild my life. Now I feel empowered, supported, and capable of facing whatever comes next.

Real People. Real Results.
You don’t need to take our word for it. Here’s what happens when you finally stop spiraling, and start building the emotional skills that lead to clarity, peace, and connection.
Your story doesn’t have to end here. These aren’t exceptions. They’re examples of what’s possible when you stop guessing and start practicing the skills of love. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.
But here’s the real truth: Healing happens faster, deeper, and with less shame when you’re witnessed by people who’ve been there.
That’s why the Roadmap community isn’t an afterthought, it’s the heart of the experience. It’s not a forum where people post and ghost. It’s not a performative support group.
It’s a private circle of people who are living this exact moment, right now. People navigating space and separation. People who know what that 3AM spiral feels like.
And here’s the beautiful part: Alongside them, you’ll also meet past Roadmap members who’ve walked this path already, and chosen to return to help walk others through it.
They don’t advise from a pedestal. They share from the trenches.
This isn’t just emotional support. It’s a living practice space for relational healing, where you can learn new tools, unlearn old patterns, and feel the steady presence of others who speak your language.
In fact, many participants say the community was the thing they resisted the most… and ended up valuing the most. Many Roadmappers have made lifelong friendships in a place they least expected it.
Because being held while you learn to hold yourself? That’s where the repair begins.
Here’s something you might not expect: Studies show that social support is one of the most powerful predictors of emotional resilience, and yet, when we’re in relationship limbo, it’s the very thing we tend to avoid.
You think:
“They wouldn’t understand.”
“I don’t want to be a burden.”
Or maybe… there’s just no one you feel safe opening up to.
You’re Not the Only One. Not Even Close.
you don't have to do this alone. but most people try to.
Message us instead of texting them.
I’m Staci Bartley, and since 2013, I’ve helped over 1,500 people navigate the heartbreak, silence, and second-guessing that comes with relationship limbo. I’ve studied with the greats (Esther Perel, Dr. Tammy Nelson), taught emotional tools inside Fortune 500 companies, and co-host a weekly relationship podcast, but my real qualifications come from lived experience, not a clipboard and a couch. I’ve been divorced (twice), raised six kids on my own, and built a deeply connected marriage from the ground up.
I guide this work alongside my husband Tom and our daughter Brooke. We like to say we’re a family business, with all the mess, love, and midnight brainstorms that come with it. The three of us walk the Roadmap with you every step of the way, and no, we don’t do ivory tower advice. We do real-life skills that actually help.

Healing Happens in Relationship
We don’t hand you a path and wish you luck. We walk it with you.
You’re looking for couples counseling or a program you can do with your partner. This one’s just for you.
You’re unwilling to look at your own patterns or contributions to the relationship.
You’re hoping someone else will change so you don’t have to.
You want a step-by-step plan to “win them back.” (This isn’t a game, and you’re not a puppet master.)
This probably isn’t for you if…
You’re not looking for a miracle. You’re ready to show up and do the emotional work, one breath, one day at a time.
You’ve tried therapy, podcasts, maybe even asked Google, but you still feel stuck in survival mode.
You’re craving structure, support, and a way forward… even if the ending isn’t clear yet.
You’re navigating a separation, breakup, or “I need space” conversation, and want tools that help you feel steady, not spun out.
You might be a great fit if…
How to Know If This Roadmap Is a Fit for You
We don’t believe in hard sells or cookie-cutter advice. This work is tender. It’s real. And it’s not for everyone.
If it’s for you, you’ll know.
You want to reconnect with your own clarity and calm, whether or not your person returns.
You’re mostly here to vent. We are all about creating space for real feelings, but growth is the goal.
If you’re ready to rebuild from the inside out, we’ll be here to walk it with you.
💭 Thinking “Maybe Later”? Read This First.
Because hesitation is human, and clarity is powerful.
Do I actually need to be separated or taking space to gain value from the Roadmap?
No, you don’t need to be offically separated to find value in the Roadmap. Emotional space and separation can occur while living under the same roof, and this program is specifically designed for those experiencing or contemplating physical or emotional distance in their relationship. If you’re feeling disconnected, questioning your identity within your relationship, or have noticed that the dynamics have changed you in ways you didn’t anticipate, the Roadmap is an invaluable resource. It aims to help you reconnect with yourself and provides essential skills for navigating your current and future relationship challenges effectively.
Can my spouse/partner and I participate in the Roadmap at the same time?
No, some journeys are best undertaken alone. The Roadmap is designed as a personal journey back to oneself. For it to be truly effective, each participant needs to experience their own emotional space and safety. If you're looking to engage in relationship work together, The Better Love Club is an excellent alternative. Many couples choose to combine both resources: while one person engages in the Roadmap, the other joins The Better Love Club. Later, they switch roles, allowing both partners to benefit from individual and shared growth experiences.
What should I know before joining the Roadmap? Are there any prerequisites?
No, some journeys are best undertaken alone. The Roadmap is designed as a personal journey back to oneself. For it to be truly effective, each participant needs to experience their own emotional space and safety. If you're looking to engage in relationship work together, The Better Love Club is an excellent alternative. Many couples choose to combine both resources: while one person engages in the Roadmap, the other joins The Better Love Club. Later, they switch roles, allowing both partners to benefit from individual and shared growth experiences.
What are the reasons I shouldn't enroll in the Roadmap?
- Lack of Interest in Self-Exploration: The 30-day Roadmap is centered around deep self-exploration. It guides you through understanding who you are, how you connect with others, and the root of your relationship challenges. If you are not looking to engage in this level of introspection, this program may not align with your needs.
- Discomfort with Vulnerability: This journey requires a willingness to be vulnerable and to look deeply into your emotional and behavioral patterns. If opening up in this way is challenging for you, you might want to consider starting with the Better Love Club to ease into self-discovery.
- Contentment with Current Relationships: If you feel fully satisfied with your relationships and do not feel the need for personal or relational growth, the Roadmap may not provide additional value. This program is specifically designed for those who are seeking transformation and deeper connection.
- Expectation of a Passive Experience: The 30-day Roadmap is an interactive and experiential journey that demands active participation for maximum benefit. It is not suitable for those who prefer a more passive learning experience, such as simply watching videos without engaging in the exercises and community discussions. The more effort you invest, the greater the rewards.
How much time will I need to dedicate to the Roadmap each week?
How is the Roadmap different from other programs you offer?
The Love In Limbo 30-Day Roadmap is unique in offering daily access to Staci and her team for a full month, providing unparalleled support and guidance. This program is specifically tailored to help individuals navigate and heal from emotional distress in the most effective manner, offering tools and strategies unique to this intensive support system.
Will this help me get them back?
Maybe. But that’s not the promise. The Roadmap helps you come back to yourself. And from that grounded place, you’ll be able to see what’s next more clearly, whether it’s reconnection or release.
Will the Love In Limbo Roadmap help me change my partner?
The most empowering aspect of the Love in Limbo Roadmap is that it focuses on the one person you truly have the power to change: yourself. By deepening your understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and by enhancing your relationship skills, you initiate personal changes that can profoundly impact your interactions and dynamics with others. This self-transformation is not only a gift to yourself but can also positively influence your partner and the overall health of your relationship.
- ✔ A day-by-day reset to help you regulate your emotions and stay grounded, without needing your partner to show up first
- ✔ Scripts, meditations, and communication tools that help you speak your truth (without spiraling)
- ✔ A private, off-social community that actually gets what you’re going through
- ✔ Group coaching and mentor support from people who’ve been in the trenches and walked through the fire
- ✔ A clear, calm path out of survival mode, so you can feel proud of how you handled this, no matter how it ends
Here’s what you’re saying yes to:
Now you’re stuck in limbo, flooded with what-ifs and spinning in silence that no one warned you would feel this loud.
- You could keep holding your breath.
- You could keep second-guessing every move.
- You could keep googling “how to fix your relationship when they say they need space” and hoping a TikTok saves the day.
Or you could stop spiraling and start rebuilding.
Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need to “win them back.” You need to find your way back to you, with calm, clarity, and tools that actually work in real life, not just in theory.
That’s what the Love in Limbo: 30-Day Roadmap gives you.
You’re Not Just Buying a Program.
You’re Choosing a Path Back to Yourself.
