The Divorce Industry's Best-Kept Secret: Why Your First Call Should Be to a Coach
Like most people, when I filed for divorce three years ago, my first call was to an attorney. What I didn’t realize then was that while my lawyer handled the legal side, I desperately needed someone to help me see the bigger picture and guide my life forward.through the rest. What followed was over two years of spinning wheels, second-guessing decisions, and feeling like I was navigating the most important transition of my life without a roadmap and alone. Don't get me wrong. My attorney was excellent at what attorneys do. But I needed something they couldn't provide: someone to help me think through the bigger picture, process my options, and actually plan for the life I wanted on the other side. It wasn't until after my divorce was final that I discovered there was an entire profession of people who could have been that thinking partner for me. People called divorce coaches. The realization hit me: I had just spent two years figuring everything out the hard way when there were professionals specifically trained to help me navigate it strategically. That's when I decided to become one myself. And honestly? I'm now living a life I absolutely love, but I can't help wondering how much faster and smoother I could have gotten here with the right guide.
