Why Work with a Certified Divorce Coach?

A Divorce Coach will walk the path with you, through the legal process you have chosen, to provide support and guidance when needed. Often each spouse has their own Coach to “have their back.”

A Divorce Coach will help you begin to envision your life post-divorce, as a single parent and perhaps going back to work. The Coach will help you set some goals and identify activities and interests. This vision helps you plan and may influence your divorce negotiations. For example, if you need re-training to enter the workforce, this can be discussed as part of your divorce settlement.

Your Coach will help you understand and think through the many decisions you will be asked to make. You will feel brave, confident, and articulate in expressing what matters to you without being hijacked by emotions. This makes the process more efficient and cost-effective!

This usually means developing new communication skills and ways to minimize conflicts. The methods you used in your marriage probably didn’t work, and a good post-divorce relationship is important for your (and your children’s) adjustment, recovery, and moving on. A Coach can work with both of you, or with one of you, to establish good communication, boundaries, and strategies for dealing with issues that inevitably arise.

I was exactly where you are eight years ago. I had just had my first baby, I was home alone all of the time taking care of him. I took care of the house, the dogs, the budget, my marriage, and everything in between. Before I knew it my husband wasn’t around as much as I’d like him to be and I was drowning. I had a realization where I decided I needed more from life. When I sat my spouse down to discuss my needs I was blindsided by being told he was no longer interested in this life and that he was leaving.

I am sure you can imagine how scary that was! I had an infant, a house and two dogs to take care of. Did I mention I was also a stay at home mom? Now I needed to figure out how to support myself and my son, and go through the process of dismantling our life we had spent 10 years building. When I tell you I was scared and overwhelmed, I’m sure you can relate! But day by day, piece by piece. I did it. I found a daycare for my son, started job searching, hired an attorney, and began to rebuild my life. It was hard, it was painful, but it was rewarding. Someone dealt me a hand I wasn’t ready for and I found out what I was made of.

All of that is to say I see you. I feel you. You are scared. You are lonely.

You are lost.

But what else I know….

YOU CAN DO IT!

My Background

I myself went through a high conflict divorce while raising a small child. I continue to work on my coparenting relationship every day while ensuring we are raising a thriving 8 year old boy. I am remarried with a 4 year old daughter from my current marriage. I have been through the court system more times than I care to count, I've completed individual and coparenting counseling. I have been a stay at home mom, a teacher, and now starting my own business. I cannot say I have experienced the same exact thing as you have, because every divorce is deeply personal, but I have had my share of experiences. I believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, you can make it through each and every challenge thrown at you, and you have the capability of living a brand new, successful life, whatever that may look like to you!
