Divorce throws curveballs like nobody’s business. As a single mum, you’re facing double the emotional turmoil, juggling kids, finances, and the rollercoaster of uncertainty. All of this can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn. Our gut reaction, and often what everyone tells us to do, is to call a lawyer. Now, I’m not saying lawyers aren’t important – they are legal experts, after all. But consider this… What if there was someone who could guide you through the emotional and practical aspects of separation before the courtroom drama begins? And maybe a whole lot of legal stress could even be avoided in the process? This would save you a lot of stress, not to mention money. Lawyers might seem like the obvious answer, but for single mums, there’s another powerful ally waiting in the wings: the divorce coach.

 A divorce coach can be your guiding light through the emotional, practical, and even financial complexities of separation. And this can empower you to navigate this journey with strength and clarity. Because divorce coaches focus on YOU, the amazing, resilient human being at the heart of it all.

Here’s why you need to call a divorce coach after separating and why it just might be the single mum superhero you need.Continue Reading →

As a divorce coach, January is my busiest time of year. It comes off the back end of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve which often brings a lot to the surface.
