🦃✨ Your First Thanksgiving After Divorce ✨🦃

If this is your first holiday season while going through or after divorce, please remember: kindness to yourself matters most.

When I was newly divorced, I tried to make Thanksgiving feel as “normal” as possible for my daughter. But the truth? It wasn’t normal at all. And that’s okay.

Trying to force normal for others can leave you feeling even more depleted.

Instead, give yourself permission to:
🌿 Create new traditions that feel authentic to you and your family
✌🏽 Keep things simple—you don’t have to do it all
💚 Allow space for rest and reflection instead of perfection
🗣️ Be honest with yourself about what feels supportive, not performative

The holidays may look different now, but that doesn’t mean they're any less meaningful. Sometimes, it’s in the quiet shifts that we find strength.

💬 Comment “holiday” below if you’d like me to share some ways I survived my first holiday season after divorce.

🚪On the Doorstep of Divorce: Blame Keeps You Stuck.

I often meet clients who walk in carrying heavy stories:
“He did this.” “She always said that.” “If only they had…”

And while those stories matter, they’re real and have shaped the journey. Staying rooted in blame keeps you anchored in the past.

Divorce shouldn't be about proving who was right. It’s about building what comes next.

When you shift from who caused the pain to what needs to happen now, you start making decisions that protect your peace, your children, and your future.

✨ Let go of the courtroom mindset. Step into the clarity of your next chapter. ✨

🌙 Thinking about divorce in 2026? You’re not alone.

Maybe you haven’t told anyone yet.

Perhaps you’re still lying awake at night asking:

Caring co-parenting extends beyond simply sharing responsibilities; it plays a pivotal role in fostering a nurturing environment for children. Implementing effective co-parenting strategies can yield significant benefits for both parents and their children, enhancing overall family dynamics.

For example, a specific client decided to attend events together. When parents attend events like soccer games together, they send a powerful message of unity to their child. This not only boosts the child's self-esteem and sense of belonging but also positively impacts their mental health by reassuring them that both parents are invested in their happiness and achievements. The shared experience fosters an atmosphere of support, leading to improved emotional stability for the child.

Another client does regular check-ins; check-ins between co-parents can be transformative as well. By dedicating time to discuss their child's needs and feelings, parents can prevent misunderstandings and reduce conflicts. This practice fosters open communication, enabling parents to navigate challenges together and celebrate their child's accomplishments as a united team. When children see their parents working as a team, it strengthens their own emotional well-being and reinforces a sense of security.

Ultimately, discovering strategies that prioritize both emotional well-being and effective communication can create a harmonious co-parenting journey. Simple actions, such as collaborating on a family calendar or sharing joyful moments, can yield profound benefits, enriching the experiences of both parents and children. Adopting these practices can lead to a more supportive and engaged family environment, promoting lasting positive outcomes for everyone involved.

Find out about more strategies that can help you better co-parent your children by working with Shell.

3 Things I Wish I Knew Before Divorce 💔➡️💪

1️⃣ Divorce isn’t just a legal process — it’s a life redesign.
I thought I was just signing papers. Turns out, I was rewriting my future. Financially. Emotionally. Spiritually.

2️⃣ Healing doesn’t follow a checklist.
Some days I felt free. Others, I missed what never really worked. Grief is layered. Healing is nonlinear. Grace is essential.

3️⃣ Clarity is power.
The moment I stopped asking “What’s fair?” and started asking “What’s true for me?” — everything shifted.

If you’re in the thick of it, or just beginning… you’re not alone.
There’s strength in your story. There’s clarity in your questions.
And there’s a future waiting to be rewritten — by you. 💫

What do you wish you knew about divorce that you could share with others?
