Degrees of Separation

🔥 My Story. My Why. My Work.

This is a window into who I am, why I do this work, and what I stand for.
For over 11 years I’ve been walking alongside people through the hardest transitions of their lives - relationships breaking, identities shifting, families restructuring, and the deep work of rebuilding self‑worth.

I don’t coach from theory. I coach from lived experience, professional training, and thousands of real conversations with people who were ready for change but didn’t know where to start.

This is my why;

• Why I chose divorce and relationship coaching to help others avoid the pitfalls so many of us made in the early days
• What drives me to help people navigate emotional complexity with clarity for a brighter future
• How I support clients to break patterns, set boundaries, and create healthier futures and improve communication
• What working with me actually feels like - grounded, direct, compassionate, strategic and very future focused

If you’re in a season of transition, this is your reminder:
You don’t have to do it alone.
You don’t have to stay stuck.
You get to rewrite your story.

💛 Show Up For Your Children - Even When It’s Hard

When you’re standing beside your coparent at a school event, a sports game, or a milestone moment, your children are watching.
Not for perfection.
Not for friendship.
But for two parents who can be civil, respectful, and present.

You don’t need to be best friends.
You don’t need to agree on everything.
You do need to show up as your best self - the version of you that puts your children’s needs ahead of old hurts.

Because when you model emotional regulation, kindness, and maturity in front of your kids, you teach them something powerful:
Even in difficult times, you can choose to be the better person.

Your children just want to see both parents happy, steady, and able to stand in the same space without tension - even if you’re separated.
That’s how you create emotional safety.
That’s how you raise resilient kids.

If you’re struggling to show up this way, reach out. Support can help you shift the dynamic and protect what matters most - your children.

🌱 As your children grow, your co‑parenting arrangements should grow with them.

If you don’t have a court order in place, staying flexible is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children.
What worked beautifully for a five‑year‑old may not meet the needs of a 15‑year‑old and that’s normal.

Children change.
Their routines change.
Their emotional needs change.
And your parenting plan should evolve right alongside them.

Regularly checking in with your co‑parent about what’s working, what’s not, and what needs adjusting keeps your children at the centre of every decision.
It’s not about winning it’s about supporting their growth, stability, and wellbeing across both homes.

If you’re finding these conversations hard, or you’re unsure how to update your parenting plan in a healthy, child‑focused way, reach out.

💛 Parenting is hard. Co‑parenting is harder.

When you’ve got young children, the overwhelm can creep in fast - and it can put real pressure on your relationship.
But when you work together as a team, in the best interests of your family, you give your children the gift of two parents who are connected, steady, and loving.

And if staying together isn’t possible, separation may be the only answer.
Even then, your children still need you to maintain an amicable, respectful co‑parenting relationship.

So the question becomes:
What can you put in place to preserve that relationship - for their sake?

If you’re struggling, reach out.
I’m Kimberlee Sweeney - Divorce Coach, co‑parenting specialist, and Gottman relationship coach - and I’m here to help you no matter where you’re at in your relationship. One to one coaching!
