When you're co-parenting with someone who used to be your whole life, every text can feel loaded. And when emotions take over, what we type isn't always what actually gets us what we need.

✖️ Instead of:
"You are ALWAYS late. You have absolutely no respect for my time."

✔️ Try:
"Pickup was scheduled for 5:00. Please let me know your ETA."

Same situation.
Same frustration.
But one gets you a response.
The other gets you a fight.

I'm not saying that you have to take disrespect from someone. But I am recommending that you communicate in a way that actually protects your peace, your time, and your kids from being caught in the crossfire.

Support shouldn't cost more than your peace of mind.

Divorce support can feel out of reach financially - right when you need it most. That's why I created The Circle.

For $29/month, you get group coaching with me and other divorce professionals - real support, real strategy, and a community of people who actually understand what you're going through, without the cost of individual coaching. And so much more.

You don't have to spend all of your savings to navigate this. The Circle is built to be the in-between: consistent support, real guidance, and people in your corner every step of the way.

I wrote the book I wish I'd had.

When I was going through my own divorce, I needed someone to tell me what to actually expect. Emotionally. Practically. Day to day.

That's exactly why I wrote I'm Getting Divorced, Now What? — the guide I wish someone had handed me on day one.

It's real steps for the emotional and strategic sides of divorce, from someone who's been on both sides - as the person going through it, and as the coach and therapist helping others through it.

Your child needs your permission to love both parents.

Even when you're angry.
Even when you don't feel like your ex deserves it.
Even when you're still hurting.

Your child needs to hear - directly or indirectly - that it's okay to love both of you. That loving one parent isn't a betrayal of the other.

And here's the part that's difficult to understand: badmouthing your ex doesn't actually hurt your ex. It hurts your child. Kids don't experience "my parent said something bad about my other parent". They experience "someone said something bad about someone I love."

You don't have to be best friends with your ex. But you do need to keep the adult conflict away from your children. And do what you can to lessen it.

Is this actually worth fighting about?

The couch.
Who gets the good pots and pans.
An extra two hours of parenting time on a random Tuesday.
Who "wins" this year's holiday schedule.

These are the things people spend thousands of dollars and months of conflict fighting over and most of them have nothing to do with your final agreement, your kids' wellbeing, or your future.

I'm not saying that you should just give in on important things. I'm saying that knowing the difference between what's important and what's not is key when you're negotiating your divorce.

Save your energy - and your money - for what's actually worth it.

Will this matter to you five years from now?

In the middle of divorce, everything feels urgent. Every decision feels like it has to be won right now. But here's a question worth asking before you fight over anything: will this matter to me years from now?

Some things will: your parenting time, your financial security, your kids' stability.
Fight for those.

Some things won't: who got the couch, who "won" a single holiday, being right in a text thread. Let those go, even when it's hard.

The decisions you make from your most emotional place are usually the ones you regret most later. This one question can save you money, energy, and a lot of unnecessary conflict.

Your divorce attorney should not be your therapist.

I get it - you're in the middle of the hardest thing you've ever done, and your attorney is the person you're talking to the most. So it's easy to start venting to them about everything: how hurt you are, how angry you are, how betrayed you feel.

Here's the problem: attorneys bill by the hour. Every minute spent processing emotions with them is a minute you're paying legal rates for something a therapist or coach could help with, for a lot less, and honestly, better.

I lived this. I know how badly you need somewhere to put all of it. Just make sure it's the right somewhere.

Your legal team should handle the law. Your support team should handle you.

Kids don't usually say "I feel stuck between you two." More often, it shows up in different ways.

Watch for:
→ Asking questions to "check" what one parent said
→ Refusing to talk about time spent with the other parent
→ Sudden changes in mood before or after exchanges
→ Trying to "fix" or manage the relationship between you two
→ Acting differently depending on which parent they're with

These behaviors mean that your child is trying to navigate something that's genuinely hard for them, and it's a sign that you or their other parent may be talking to them too much.

If you're seeing these signs, let's talk about how to support your child through it.

I'm not just a divorce coach.

I'm a therapist.
A divorce coach.
A co-parenting expert.
A mediator.
And I went through my own difficult divorce.

That combination matters, because divorce isn't just a legal event - it's an emotional one, a family one, a long-term one. Most support out there addresses one piece of that. I work with the whole picture.

That means helping you process what you're feeling, not just what you're filing.
Helping you communicate with your co-parent in a way that actually protects your kids.
And helping you make decisions strategically, not from an emotional place.

I'm not guessing at what this feels like. I've lived it, and I've built my entire practice around making it easier for you than it was for me.

If you're going through a divorce, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is expecting one professional to do it all.

Divorce isn't just a legal process. It's emotional, financial, and, if you have children, a parenting transition too.

The best outcomes happen when you have the right team supporting you.

Understanding who does what can save you time, money, and a lot of unnecessary stress.

👩‍⚖️ Divorce Attorney — Legal advice, your rights, negotiating agreements, representation if needed.

🤝 Divorce Mediator — Helps you and your co-parent reach agreements outside of court, often saving serious time, money, and conflict.

💙 Divorce Coach — Helps you make informed decisions, stay organized, communicate more effectively, and navigate the process with clarity and confidence.

🧠 Therapist — Supports your emotional well-being and helps you process grief, anger, and loss so you can actually move forward.

💰 Financial Professional (CDFA®, CFP®, CPA, Mortgage Pro) — Helps you understand the financial impact of your settlement, build a post-divorce budget, and plan for the road ahead.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Co-Parenting Coach — Helps reduce conflict, improve communication, and build a healthier co-parenting relationship.

👶 Child Therapist — Gives kids a safe space to process their feelings during the transition.

📑 Estate Planning Attorney — Updates your wills, trusts, and beneficiaries once everything is finalized.

The best divorce outcomes comes from the right team working together — reducing conflict, protecting kids, and helping families actually move forward.

That's exactly why we started Divorce Network Pro — a directory built on that same collaborative, low-conflict approach.
