Meet Grace Kerby

Forty-one years of marriage, three children, eight grandchildren, and years spent helping families say the hard things out loud. This is the short version — the rest is better over a conversation.

Grace Kerby, family coach and PAL Regional Coordinator at Kerby Konnects

Forty-one years of marriage — and a few seasons I would not want to repeat.

My life’s work has always been rooted in family: a 41-year marriage, three children, two sons-in-law, and eight grandchildren. Four decades in, I can tell you that no long marriage is an easy one, and no family gets through without a season it would rather not have lived. Mine included.

That is the experience I bring to this work — not theory about families, but years of living inside one, and years of sitting with other parents on the worst nights of their lives, helping them find the next thing to say.

Professionally, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and I am a Certified Mediator. I serve as a Regional Coordinator and volunteer facilitator for Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL).

I started Kerby Konnects to bring straight talk, communication tools, and boundary education to the families who need them — whether what you are facing is a loved one’s addiction, a child you cannot seem to reach, or a marriage that has gone quiet.

There is more to say than fits on a page. That is what the first call is for.

How I walk alongside families

A private, judgment-free space

The place I wished I’d had during my own hardest days — where you feel seen and understood, not managed. Coaching is always private, never a group.

Practical tools, not platitudes

Real strategies for communication, boundaries, and self-care that bring the temperature down at home — grounded in evidence-based frameworks, not wishful thinking.

Reclaim your own life

You can’t control anyone else’s choices. You can stop disappearing into them — and start building a life that feels like yours again.
