A weekend retreat often brings clarity, peace, and renewed focus — but those moments fade when real life resumes.

The Become Your Best Retreat Membership is designed to extend the heart of a retreat into a sustainable rhythm. Instead of a single emotional high, you receive monthly guidance, practices, and reflection that help you live grounded and aligned all year long.

Dr. Sharon May and Dr. Sylvia Hart Frejd are sisters who have walked through deep seasons of loss, transition, transformation, and growth. Together, they bring:

  • decades of clinical and coaching experience
  • expertise in emotional health and resilience and what makes a good life
  • research in relationships, marriage and family
  • authentic stories, wisdom, and gentle faith
Their heart is to walk with women through every season of life.

Together, Sharon and Sylvia bring decades of experience in emotional health, neuroscience, attachment, relationships, spiritual formation, and women’s wellbeing. Their compassionate, research-based approach helps women grow with wisdom, courage, and hope.

 

Meet Your Guides

Hi, I’m Dr. Sharon May, and I’m so excited to have you join us in the Become Your Best Community coaching experience!

I serve as the Founder and President of Safe Haven Relationship Counseling Center. As a certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist and supervisor, I specialize in attachment theory and the power of safe, connected relationships that serve as emotional “safe havens.”

I’m the author of Safe Haven Marriage and How to Argue So Your Spouse Will Listen. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing this message on Focus on the Family, Family Talk, Life Today, and at conferences and trainings around the world. 

My passion is helping people strengthen their emotional bonds, heal relational wounds, and learn how to love and connect well. I look forward to walking alongside you as we grow together in wisdom, grace, and wholehearted living.

With Grace,
Sharon


Welcome! I’m Dr. Sylvia Hart Frejd, and it’s a true honor to walk this journey with you.
I’m a Master Certified Coach (ICF), a Certified Spiritual Director, and a Biblical Counselor. For decades, I’ve had the privilege of coaching women from around the world—and equipping other coaches through training and mentor coaching—helping people become the person God created them to be.

My passion is helping women grow in emotional wholeness, spiritual depth, and purposeful, intentional living. My work integrates Christian counseling, spiritual direction, life coaching, and digital wellness—because I believe transformation touches every part of us: heart, mind, relationships, and daily rhythms.

Along the way, my work has been featured in The New York Times, Mashable, PBS and CBS Radio, CNET, and Fox News. But more than any title or credential, I’m a fellow traveler on the Becoming journey—still learning, still growing, and continually seeking to live and love well.

Become Your Best was born from my heart’s desire to create a renewing retreat space for women like you: a place to breathe, be seen, and be supported as you thrive in every season and experience the deep love of God—one faithful step at a time.

With joy,
Sylvia
