getting divorced? you don’t have to traverse this mountain alone.

If you’re contemplating or headed down the road to a divorce, I would love to support you through that process and help you avoid making some of the same mistakes that I did, because you don’t know what you don’t know, and no one should have to go through their divorce alone.

EBOOK

If you are thinking of asking your spouse for a divorce, it’s important to prepare ahead of time and approach the conversation with care. There are many pitfalls to be aware of. If you'd like a resource on this topic, I wrote an ebook that covers:

• what to say,

• what not to say (and why), and

• even includes some options for scripting.

COACHING OFFERINGS

Pre-Divorce

The prospect of getting divorced can feel daunting. I am here to help you figure out how to approach the process, discover what options you might have, and know what pitfalls to avoid.

I can assist with:

• how to tell your spouse you'd like a divorce (and provide you with some suggested language to use)

• what to expect and what the process will entail

• what options you have / paths you can take to get divorced

• how to prepare for your divorce

• what resources you can leverage to get through the process in a way that aligns with your goals (i.e., as cheaply as possible, as quickly as possible, as amicably as possible, etc.)

As with most things in life, preparation is key, and I can provide the most value to clients who engage me early-on in the process.

During Divorce

The divorce process can feel overwhelming and complex to take-on. I can provide you with:

• clarity as to the process and steps you should take next

• guidance, organization, and support throughout your divorce

• how to best prepare for your mediation / negotiation session(s)

• access to my referral network of trusted experts and service providers you might need or benefit from (such as an incredible co-parenting counselor or a financial expert who specializes in divorce)

I will keep you organized and on-track in hitting the deadlines inherent to the divorce process, while also ensuring you are taking care of yourself. Let me support you on your journey through one of the most difficult periods of your life. Although divorce is often painful, it can also be an incredible opportunity for positive change and growth.

Post-Divorce

Unfortunately, the divorce process often extends beyond the issuing of the divorce decree. I can support clients with:

• a post-divorce checklist (to make sure nothing big slips through the cracks)

• how to rediscover & reestablish your identity independent of your relationship with your ex

• how to gain a perspective on your divorce that will serve you going forward

• tools and exercises to help you get unstuck and become the best possible version of yourself

• how to re-enter the dating world

• assistance with goal-setting and staying accountable

• guidance through additional life transitions (such as a move, career change, co-parenting, etc.)

• help in getting to a place where you're thriving post-divorce

I will help you uncover your core identity -- your best self -- and hold you accountable to it as you begin to see the world through a new lens post-divorce. You are not alone, and you are worthy of love. I will provide you with the encouragement you need to push past your low points and work with you to strengthen your relationship with yourself so you can approach future relationships from a healthy space.

TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Kim was the best decision I've made in the divorce process. She has guided me through this difficult time and made it so much easier. I feel really lucky to have been referred to her and think everyone should be able to receive this type of support.” 

-Katie H.

“I found Kim at exactly the right time. I never thought I'd get divorced and when I found myself there after 15 years of marriage, I had no friends or family to guide me. It was a very isolating and scary time. But Kim stepped in and filled that void, acting as a combination of coach, advocate, and friendly shoulder to cry on, from someone who has been in my shoes.

With a JD and an MBA she is extremely knowledgeable, and able to translate legalese into terms that I could understand. In addition, she came up with creative solutions for addressing some of the challenges I faced that neither I nor my lawyer had thought of.

Having her to guide me through the process was invaluable. I felt so much more confident having her support during this extremely difficult and overwhelming time.”  

-Abby G.

"I am so grateful I met Kim and decided to work with her. She has helped me navigate my divorce with professional advice and true empathy. The two things she helped me with the most were getting started and communicating with my ex. Without her I would still be too scared to take on the divorce process by myself, but she broke it down so I knew what to expect and so it didn't seem like this big daunting unknown anymore. She also connected me with great legal recommendations within my area and held me accountable to getting things done. I also struggled with communicating with my ex during this time. My goal was always to keep things as amiable as possible and Kim taught me how to approach conversations with him from a place of respect while still getting my points and feelings across.

If you are on the fence of hiring Kim, take the leap of faith, you won't regret it!"

-Crystal S.

“I cannot say enough about how beneficial hiring Kim will be for you. I started working with Kim just a day before I officially filed for my divorce. The first time we talked, I knew I had found the perfect person to help me through the chaos that was about to ensue.

I can’t imagine how I would have navigated the process without her. The coaching sessions were incredibly helpful and productive. They provided a sense of control and empowerment through the most difficult and painful transition I have ever undergone.

Kim is patient, kind, knowledgeable and passionate. She offers hope, encouragement, logic, and new perspectives. I deeply appreciate her as she helped me get through the scariest, most treacherous, sad and depressing time of my life. I know I wouldn’t feel as hopeful and confident about a positive future ahead if it wasn’t for her. 

Working with Kim was the smartest thing I did during the worst of my storm. When I talk to people about how I got through the roughest part of my divorce, I always give thanks to my divorce life coach.  

I would recommend working with Kim before during and after your divorce.”

-Jessica B.

“Contemplating a divorce when you’ve been married for most of your life is very challenging, and the pandemic lockdown made it all the more impossible. I was constantly second-guessing myself, and felt lost, alone, and scared.

Working with Kim gave me the strength, direction, and knowledge to prepare for the divorce. I looked forward to her calm voice each week as she provided direction and supportive suggestions when my head and heart were constantly racing. Kim was comforting, not pushy, and professional, organized, knowledgeable and genuinely supportive.

Because I was fortunate to work with Kim, I am empowered and more confident in the decisions I am making to move beyond this crisis in my life.”

-Judy B.

“I had no clue where to start with a divorce process, which is why I wanted a coach.  I needed consultation about how to navigate the whole process, to figure out what I didn’t know that I needed to know and to save money through the process. 

Kim’s past clients had wonderful things to say about her, so I decided to do an initial consult. I knew immediately that Kim is a real professional, caring person, and expert in what she does.

I benefited so much from the referrals she shared - they’re worth their weight in gold. She actually knows who she refers you too and she’s taken the time to build relationships with those people. A friend of mine also going through divorce had an unfortunately different experience in which she had to search for her own referrals when her mediation company failed to provide decent ones. It ultimately cost her extra time, stress, and money. The information Kim shared and resources that she pointed me to for guidance were so helpful. She is thorough and always follows up promptly.

It’s also important to add that Kim is a warm, upbeat presence who is a pleasure to work with, and she also knows how to hold space through heavier matter. Highly recommend working with Kim!”

-Jennifer N.

“My recent divorce was relatively simple and amicable, yet I'm so glad I decided to invest in working with Kim. Her combination of life-coaching skills, legal knowledge, and divorce-specific expertise helped give me insight into issues I wouldn't have even considered and made for a uniquely valuable point of view in my life — different than friends, family, or a therapist were able to offer. Because my former partner and I decided to go the mediation route, I didn't have a lawyer on my side solely representing my interests (the mediator's job was to be neutral). Having Kim in my corner made a huge difference in my ability to advocate for myself while staying as kind and caring towards my ex as possible, especially at key moments surrounding the mediation process.

Some things I especially liked about the experience:

• Her weekly pre-call prep form is brilliant. It helped me pause and reflect on what was really going on in my life (happy and challenging) while actually boosting my mood each time I filled it out. 

• She's really organized — something I haven't managed to be throughout this period in my life. I could count on her to check in with me if I hadn't scheduled a call for the week, and she kept track of details and "homework" for me. In that way, she truly was a grounding force in a really ungrounded time.

• I was impressed with the variety and range in our sessions. We worked with several of quizzes/tools to help me learn more about myself and what I really want moving forward, and we also had some really tactical, practical sessions about details of the divorce that made a huge difference in critical moments.

I'm so glad I made the investment, not just in learning to be my own advocate and champion, but in turning a difficult time into a transformative one.”

-Rachel Z.

“I was going through an uncontentious, uncomplicated divorce, or so I thought. I reached out to Kim and she opened my eyes to concerns that had never even occurred to me. Turns out there's no such thing as a simple divorce, and things were further complicated because my wife and I were in two different states.

Kim helped me navigate this unfamiliar territory with empathy and most importantly, a vast wealth of knowledge. She provided me with a thorough list of lawyers and mediators to talk to, and thoroughly prepared me for the process. Divorce is one of those things you just shouldn't do alone. She was just the help I needed.”

-Steven M.

“Kim is a wonderful listener and I had a great connection with her about a situation I was faced with. She was quick to provide me with the answers I needed and very thorough. I highly recommend her!”
