Going Steady: A Toolkit for Building Your Future Together

Time to go Steady.

Going Steady is the ultimate relationship toolkit, but with a twist ― it was created by two divorce lawyers who want couples to stay together!

This unique, interactive toolkit was created to help lift the pressure of relationship perfectionism and spark the honest conversations needed for relationships to thrive. Going Steady is filled with fun but meaningful exercises to complete on your own and together, so you can live happily after.

Whether in a new relationship or continuing a longer romance, you can benefit from some new tools to keep things fresh and exciting. Going Steady will help you discover new things about yourself and each other so you can build a deeper, more authentic future together.

Jacinta Gallant is a divorce lawyer, mediator and educator. As a student and teacher of the Insight Approach to Conflict, Jacinta has transformed the way she engages with her clients and her world, enhancing self-reflection and openness through the power of curiosity. After decades of working with (and learning from) separating couples, Jacinta created her first workbook, Our Family in Two Homes. Many clients said if they had had the “Two Homes” workbook a few years ago, they might not be separating - so Jacinta created Going Steady with her law partner and daughter to help couples sustain and thrive in relationships. If it puts them out of the divorce business, that’s ok with them!

Taylor Smiley is a highly creative lawyer and owner of Spinco Charlottetown who brings a deep understanding of people and relationships to her law practice and business. After years working with separating couples, she was thrilled to co-create Going Steady - to help couples relieve the pressure of “relationship perfection”, spark the honest conversations that make relationships thrive and get real about the wonders and challenges of “doing life” together. 

As authors of Going Steady, Jacinta (still married to the guy she met when she was 21) and Taylor (newly married) bring a unique perspective to the relationship “self-help” field.
