When invited me to join her and financial expert Leslie Thompson on The Space In Between podcast, I knew we’d have a powerful conversation—but I didn’t anticipate just how much value we’d offer women walking through the storm of divorce.

One thing I didn’t expect to share? My early hesitation to even call myself a divorce coach—I didn’t want the word “divorce” on my business card. But sometimes, our greatest resistance reveals our deepest purpose.

In this episode, I open up about my favorite metaphor: how divorce can feel like tossing your whole life into the air like a blanket—and the importance of building a cocoon of emotional, financial, and community support as everything lands.

Here’s your reminder: don’t play small. You are worthy of clarity, stability, and a future you choose.

Divorce doesn’t define you—but how you move through it can absolutely transform you. 💫

Sometimes our greatest resistance points to our greatest calling!

Reflecting back to the “messy middle” of my divorce as a stay-at-home mom of four, I remember facing my first Easter weekend without my children. What began as heartbreak revealed unexpected restoration.

After 11 years of chaotic holiday mornings—chocolate-smeared faces, last-minute “Easter Best” outfits, and always arriving 20 minutes late to church—solitude offered different gifts.

That first year the coparenting calendar assigned us apart, I declined invitations and instead attended a quiet Easter Vigil, enjoyed morning coffee with my fur baby Chief, and ran while praying my rosary. As I passed harried mothers herding children to church, I remembered my friend’s concerned call: “It’s time to talk about self-care.” I took an uninterrupted shower and savored a meal the way digestion is designed - delivering nutrients to my worn out body. I felt resurrected.

When my children returned Sunday afternoon, we celebrated differently—play clothes instead of Sunday best, muddy knees, and a movie night. New traditions. New rituals. New life.

Though never the Easter I imagined for us, I found beauty in various shades of purple preparation and in the white light carrying me forward.

And in restored faith I knew that the best was yet to come. ✨

✨FINANCIAL LITERACY AFTER DIVORCE✨

Going from one household budget to two? Your financial journey after divorce can be empowering. 💪

Financial literacy comes down to three key elements:

• Knowledge (understanding taxes, investments, budgeting)

• Risk tolerance (your comfort with uncertainty)

• Control (how you manage day-to-day finances)

Divorce creates a unique opportunity to reassess your relationship with money and build true financial independence. Through education comes empowerment! 📚➡️💰

: Jane Fonda

For our Women's History Month , I'm celebrating the ever-evolving Jane Fonda—actress, activist, and living proof that our most authentic selves often emerge after our most challenging transitions.

Following three divorces, Jane didn't retreat—she reinvented. At 82, she reflected: "I think I'm better now than I've ever been... I didn't have the courage or the confidence to become the person I am, separate from a man, until I was in my sixties."

Today at 87, she's more outspoken than ever, using her platform for climate activism, proving that purpose knows no age limit.

To my divorced community: Like Jane, your most impactful chapter may still be unwritten. The freedom that comes after divorce isn't just freedom from—it's freedom to become exactly who you're meant to be.

Remember: It's never too late to discover your voice, your cause, or yourself.

Divorce isn't the end of your story—it's a powerful conjunction that connects your past to your future. Those two simple letters represent your greatest superpower: CHOICE.
You can choose:

Pain OR Purpose
Stuck OR Stepping Forward
Surviving OR Thriving
Wounded OR Warrior

Every day, especially on Mondays, you get to decide who you want to be. Your divorce doesn't define you—your response to it does.
Today, choose to be the victor of your own narrative. Your resilience is your greatest strength.

🌸 Today marks the first day of spring—a perfect metaphor for where you might be in your journey.

Just as nature awakens from winter's grip, you too are capable of beautiful transformation. The path that once felt dormant now holds infinite possibilities for growth and renewal.

On this equinox, consider what needs to bloom in your life. What strengths, dreams, or versions of yourself are ready to unfurl? Every divorce story has its own season and timeline—honor wherever you are in your process.

New beginnings are unfolding all around us today. What's waiting to break free in you?

Before I started my divorce coaching business, I practiced as a physical therapist in an outpatient orthopedic setting. Here are a few of my observations in managing physical pain during stressful life transitions like divorce:

(Thank you for Sharing, Entourage Functional Medicine!)

During my divorce, I herniated a disc in my lumbar spine. The timing seemed cruel, yet somehow fitting – my life was falling apart, and now my body was following suit. What struck me most was how this mirrored a pattern I'd seen years before in my physical therapy practice. I distinctly remember t...

This morning, my littlest burst back through the front door, breathless with excitement. “Mom! Come quick! You have to see the sunrise!”

They all know how much I love the way the sun paints a watercolor sky in the morning—those ephemeral strokes of pink and gold that transform the ordinary into something magnificent. I watched nature’s masterpiece unfold behind their silhouettes. The moment struck me as a powerful reminder of the beautiful possibilities each day can hold.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring. Just as the sunrise transforms the sky, this new season brings its own transformation—a fresh palette of colors, scents, and sounds that remind us of life’s constant renewal.

Spring offers a promise guaranteed despite the harshest winters.

We too can rely on new growth after life’s most challenging transitions.

What patterns keep you rooted in winter when you’re ready for spring?

Which relationships nourish your growth, and which may need pruning?

What dreams have been dormant that are ready to bloom?

Here’s to your new beginnings,

Spring is just around the corner- reminding us that after every winter, new life emerges. Flowers push through the soil to reach the sunlight… and you too were designed to grow beyond your divorce and flourish once more.

A few tips to tend to your heart’s garden this spring:

🌸 Water yourself! Identify one small joy each day - whether it’s your morning coffee or a favorite song

🌸 Set gentle boundaries with people who drain your energy

🌸 Plant seeds for your future by exploring one new interest this week… Plant a garden, take a weekend trip, or start a spring journal.

Remember, healing isn’t linear. Some days will be rainy, others sunny. But with each passing day, you’re growing stronger, even when you don’t feel it.

Your divorce was a season, not your destination. And just like spring, you were meant to bloom again. 💐

✨ This St. Patrick's Day, you don't need luck - you've got strength! ✨

Finding your own pot of gold at the end of the rainbow looks different after divorce. It's not about four-leaf clovers or lucky charms—it's about the resilience you've shown and the new path you're creating.

Today, I'm celebrating YOU and the courage it takes to start fresh. Whether you're newly separated or years into your post-divorce journey, remember that the greenest pastures are often the ones we cultivate ourselves.

Three things more valuable than luck:
☘️ The wisdom you've gained from experience
☘️ The freedom to redefine what happiness means to you
☘️ The community of supporters cheering you on (including me!)

If you're struggling to find your rainbow today, reach out. Sometimes the best St. Patrick's Day gift is simply knowing you're not walking this path alone.

: Eleanor Roosevelt

In honor of Women's History Month, today's goes out to Eleanor Roosevelt—a woman who reminds us that our greatest chapters often come after life's unexpected plot twists.

When Eleanor's marriage to FDR was shattered by his affair, she faced a choice many of us know too well: retreat or reinvent. Though they never formally divorced (uncommon for political figures of that era), they redefined their relationship on her terms, creating what we might now call a "conscious uncoupling."

What came next? Only her transformation into the most influential First Lady in American history, a human rights champion, and eventually, a woman who found deep personal fulfillment in relationships that truly valued her.

Eleanor once said: "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face."

To my divorced sisters: your story isn't over—it's evolving. The page has turned, but YOU are still writing. Like Eleanor, your most meaningful work and deepest joys may lie just ahead.
