Separation / Divorce Coach and Strategist

SPLIT HAPPENS 💔

The hardest divorce I've ever witnessed wasn't about money.

It was about silence.

This couple couldn't speak to each other. So every decision went through the lawyers. Every change went through the lawyers.

It cost them time, money, and trust they'll never get back.

Here's what I learned: avoiding communication creates the exact outcome most people fear.

You don't have to be friends. But you do need support, clarity, and someone to hold the emotional space.

Silence shouldn't be the loudest voice in the room.

DM me "CLARITY" if the silence is costing you right now.

The most financially overlooked asset in any separation is you. Your earning capacity. Your clarity. Your decision-making under pressure. The clients who invest in themselves during this process in coaching, in knowledge, in emotional fitness don't just survive. They come out ahead.

I finally got to use my Christmas present 😆😆 thanks Matt Gurr

Sometimes weekends are meant to be for creating ! Today we did the glass blowing class with Mark Eliott

I made a little vinaigrette bottle and a glass ring.

The body keeps score. That phrase gets used a lot now but it remains one of the most useful truths I work with. When you are chronically ignoring what your body is telling you the insomnia, the tension, the shallow breathing, the grinding jaw you are not being resilient. You are running up a debt that will be collected, with interest, at the worst possible time. Chronic stress during a legal process is a particular risk: the illness, the breakdown, the inability to function that lands exactly when you need to be at your sharpest. Listen to your body now. It is not failing you. It is informing you.

After a hard day’s work, what happens when Book week is coming up and your daughter needs orange shirts ? Nothing in Kmart ? You end up purchasing and dyeing the shirts. This is a lesson for your children that if things do not go according to plan, you need to work on alternative solutions. Single parenting can be hard, but it is definitely an opportunity to teach :
1. Using the resources you have
2. Making the best of the opportunity
3. Looking for other solutions

It is the best show of resilience. Children watch us every day on how we handle change.

SPLIT HAPPENS 💔

During a separation, identity tends to become almost entirely functional. You are the parent. You are the legal party. You are the one managing the finances. You are the one keeping everything from collapsing. The version of you that reads, that makes things, that laughs at things that have nothing to do with your situation that version can go underground for months without anyone noticing. Including you. Doing one thing daily that exists purely for your pleasure not your productivity, not your parenting, not your process is not self-indulgence. It is the maintenance of the self that existed before all of this and will exist after it. It signals to your nervous system that life is not entirely threat. That some of it is still, in moments, genuinely enjoyable. That small signal matters more than it sounds.
