There’s the Emotional Recovery side. You’re trying to get back to what feels like solid ground. You want to feel hopeful and even excited about your future, but everything just fell apart. It feels impossible. 

And then there’s the Strategic Rebuilding. You’ve got to rebuild and create a new life that feels authentic to who you are and what you want. You need to get your finances in order, talk to your kids about all the changes, and figure out the logistics of your new solo life.

There are two sides to divorce recovery. 

In my own divorce recovery journey, I was lucky to have several amazing women who'd been there before me. They’d navigated their own divorces: emotional abuse, infidelity, single motherhood, and figured out a path to recover emotionally and rebuild their lives. 

You might not have someone who can light that path for you. If you need a path-lighter, I have a steady hand and a flashlight.

The one thing I can't give you ... 

is a simple checklist or a magic bullet to fix it all.

That’s not how this works. 

Anne Lamott, my matron saint of divorce recovery, wrote “Pretending that things are nicely boxed up and put away robs us of great riches.” 

I don’t want to rob you of the riches of your own journey. But I do want to help.
