Grounded Pursuit Coaching

Better relationships start with a man
who doesn't run from himself.


A 180-day system for men who want better relationships —
whether you're single, dating, married, or trying to be a better dad.

Scroll
The Pattern
You're either too much — or not enough.
You apologize for things you didn't mean to do.
You feel furthest from the people closest to you.

You desire strong relationships. But in the moments that matter most,
you can't find yourself.

What It's Costing You

Your wife is pulling away — not because she stopped loving you, but because she can't reach you when it matters.

Your kids are watching how you handle pressure. What they see is what they learn.

In dating, hard conversations, anywhere it counts — the confident version of you shows up too late.

You've read the books, listened to the podcasts. But the moment tension hits, it's the same pattern.


"Kill the pattern. Free the man."
The Promise

The Transformation

In 180 days, you'll walk into hard conversations instead of around them.
Hold your ground without going cold. Lead without performing.
Strengthen every relationship in your life — without saying a word about it.


Men who do this work stop bracing for conflict and start moving through it. They describe feeling steady in moments that used to make them lose it — with real changes the people closest to them notice first.

Here you'll learn to
The System
01
Days 1–60
Ground
Know yourself before you can lead anyone else. Understand your triggers, your patterns, your emotional default — and stop being at their mercy.
02
Days 60–120
Rewire
Interrupt the cycle. Build new responses to old triggers. Learn to stay present when everything in you wants to run, explode, or go silent.
03
Days 120–180
Pursue
Be the man who pursues his goals and relationships with confidence — moving toward what matters instead of bracing against it.

Your Guide
Phil Merrell
LPC  ·  M.Ed  ·  Licensed Professional Counselor

Phil is a follower of Jesus, husband, and father of three girls. Before becoming a therapist, he worked as a school counselor, drove tour buses in Alaska, and worked as a commercial fisherman. He's also an amateur woodworker with a Great Dane named Guinness. He built Grounded Pursuit because the tools that changed his own life need to be available outside the therapy room.


"Learning these skills has changed my life. I'm more grounded, more secure in my marriage, and more present as a father — and my family feels it."
