Explaining my "why" to a friend today... I wrote this.

I have known since I went through my divorce that I wanted to help women going through it.

Lawyers are too expensive to get coaching from. Mine was wonderful, but she would tell me "You don't want me to be your therapist. I am too expensive." lol. She was right.

I had an amazing therapist, but she didn't understand the divorce process. She helped me learn to regulate my nervous system and old programming with EMDR. She helped get me through losing people, places, and things. I needed her for that.

I was in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, but I didn't talk about the divorce there. It was a supportive group. I still use and teach the tools I got from that group!

I wanted to create something that offered more holist, mindful support. My mindfulness, legal, therapy, trauma-informed background is unique, allowing me to create a coaching practice and program that supports the whole person.

It is exactly what I wished that I had.

A warm hug in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
