How is a divorce coach different than a mediator or attorney?
A divorce coach helps you stay future-focused, emphasizing your interests rather than what you might perceive as fair. In addition to providing emotional regulation tools, a coach helps you prepare and plan strategically, enabling you to be a well-organized and effective client, ultimately saving you time and money.
Unlike a mediator, who serves as a neutral facilitator to help both parties reach a mutual agreement, a divorce coach works exclusively with you to navigate the emotional and practical complexities of divorce. While an attorney provides legal representation and advice, a coach empowers you to manage stress, set goals, and make informed decisions, giving you clarity and confidence as you move forward.
Will a divorce coach add to the cost of my divorce process?
Divorce is often labeled as the second most stressful event in life—and for good reason. Even the strongest individuals can feel scared and uncertain about the road ahead. But what if you had an experienced professional to guide you, helping you avoid costly mistakes and find clarity in the chaos?
If you're wondering if you can afford to be single, parent solo or enter into the workforce post divorce then you're asking the right questions and the good news there is a path forward for all of the unknowns.
The cure for indecision? Informed, consistent guidance.
As your divorce coach, I help you get clear on what’s next, cut through the noise, and focus on what matters most. Together, we’ll tackle the tough decisions, sidestep costly mistakes, and build a plan that puts you and your family in the best position possible. No fluff, just results.
