Pesa Shayo

Get to Know Pesa I am Pesa, the voice behind Live Your Best Marriage, and I help cross cultural Christian couples who love Jesus but feel worn down by communication breakdowns, family expectations, and cultural friction. From San Antonio Tx, I share honest, practical tools shaped by more than 20 years in my own cross cultural marriage, navigating two families, two cultures, and one shared faith so you can stop having the same arguments and start building a calmer, more connected, Christ centered partnership. My heart is to give you language for what you are living, simple steps you can practice this week, and hope that your story is not “too complicated” for transformation. On the blog, I focus on real world topics like boundaries with family, unity as a couple, conflict that actually leads to growth, and everyday intimacy that feels safe, not pressured.
