Beverly Buncher’s Four Foundations for Creating a Healthy Family are based on the idea that one person can make a positive difference in the life of his or her family. These same principles apply to families needing small tweaks as well as to families facing huge challenges. Bev will discuss how you can make your life and family experience better from the inside out. By learning about the Four Foundations©, you will find yourself becoming a pivotal part of the solution. It’s not about taking over another person’s responsibilities, Bev says, but about finding freedom in taking on your own responsibilities in a new, more enlightened way. Join us to learn how you can experience increasing levels of peace and purpose in your life and family.
About Beverly Buncher
“Coach Bev,” author of the forthcoming book The Four Foundations of Family Recovery: Simple Ideas to Transform Chaos to Sanity, has a knack for asking questions that make her clients reach deep within to achieve their goals and dreams.
Her professional and life experiences have given her a sense of wisdom and understanding that make her the ideal coach for family members of addicts, adults and teens in recovery, people in transition, people looking to explore their life purpose, and teens or adults striving to be leaders of their own lives. With 26 years of family recovery under her belt, Bev developed the Four Foundations© as a tool for individuals who wish to make a difference in their own lives as well as in the lives of their families. A former school principal, Bev also coaches parents, teachers, and school leaders looking to increase their effectiveness and reduce their stress.
Coach Bev earned her MA at the University of Pittsburgh and her empowerment coaching certification (CEC) through the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching (iPEC).
Beverly’s Coaching Suggestion
As you begin to work with the four foundations (self care, being a loving person, setting boundaries, getting support), you will find parts that are easy and natural for you and parts that are harder. Rather than struggle and worry about the parts that are more difficult, look for your small and large successes in any of the four areas and celebrate them! Keep a daily journal in which you write down every success you have in putting your new habits into place. These could be anything from flossing your teeth more regularly to allowing your child to tie his own shoes instead of jumping in quickly to help to giving your teen firm, yet loving boundaries within which to operate, even when he or she pushes back. Think of the four foundations as muscles that will grow stronger with practice and everyday look for opportunities to try a new one and watch its effects take root in your life.

On September 1st, Beth and I interviewed Beverly Buncher, a Certified Empowerment Coach, Family Recovery Coach, and Licensed True Purpose™ Coach. Inspired by working with families in dire need of guiding principles, Bev developed the Four Foundations© as a tool to help individuals “get their lives back” and create healthy families. “When even one person makes a change, everyone else is affected. It is never too late no matter what state a family is in.” Bev describes the importance of self-care, being a loving person, setting boundaries, and getting support. She asserts that, no matter what is going on in your family, sanity IS possible!
