Taking The First Step: A Divorce Coach's Guide to Starting Over

Originally Published: January 28, 2022 Last Updated: February 2024

The morning sun streams through your window, bringing with it a chance for change. Every new day offers an opportunity to transform your life, to choose a different path. I know this firsthand because I have stood exactly where you might be standing now - at the crossroads of staying in an unfulfilling marriage or taking that first brave step toward change.

Today, I wake up beside my loving husband, surrounded by the joyful chaos of our two wonderful children. This life, this happiness - it all started with one decision. One step forward into the unknown. As a divorce coach, I've witnessed countless clients transform their lives just as I did, but I understand the weight of that first step.

Understanding When It's Time To Divorce

​Many of my clients come to me after trying everything they could to save their marriages. They've invested in therapy, established new boundaries, and worked through marriage counseling. Yet something still feels off. Perhaps you recognize this feeling - watching other couples with a mixture of longing and envy, wondering why their happiness seems so natural while yours feels forced. Maybe you're dealing with emotional, financial, or physical abuse, carrying burdens that no one should have to bear.

Katie was a much needed consultant for me! I did not know anything about what the divorce process would be like. She was there for me EVERY step of the way!! Thank you, Katie! ~Sheryl S, Dunlap, Illinois

The True Cost Of Waiting To Divorce

Time has a way of complicating matters in unhappy marriages. As the years pass, children's lives become more complex, financial ties grow deeper, and social circles become increasingly intertwined. I've seen how postponing the inevitable often leads to more challenging situations down the road. Your children absorb more than you realize, financial entanglements become more complex, and the emotional toll continues to mount.

Katie was so wonderful! During what started out as a very stressful time in my life she helped me stay grounded and focused on the end result which was what was best for me and my family. She offered good advice and made herself available to talk and reassure me!
My kiddo, my kiddos dad and I thank you, we are all able to communicate better together now and make sure our child is always coming first! I would highly recommend her she works hard and is passionate to help others navigate this.
To all the women out there who are nervous and scared, you will get through it, and it will be beautiful again someday. Katie can help you get there. ~Brittany B, Amarillo, Texas

Emotional Journey and Common Fears of Divorce

Let's talk about what really keeps us up at night when considering divorce. It's natural to worry about judgment from family and friends, to question your financial independence, or to wonder about your children's adjustment. Many women lie awake wondering if they'll ever find love again or if they're too old to start over. These fears are valid, but they shouldn't be prison bars keeping you in an unhappy marriage.

Breaking Free From Divorce Myths

​Through years of coaching, I've watched women reclaim their lives after breaking free from common misconceptions. The idea that staying together for the kids is always better? I've seen children thrive when their parents find happiness separately. Worried about financial independence? Many of my clients discover they're more capable than they ever imagined. Think it's too late to start over? Some of the most inspiring success stories I've witnessed began after 50.

The Power of Professional Support

​As your divorce coach, I don't just offer guidance - I become your partner in transformation. Together, we'll navigate the practical aspects of your journey while addressing the emotional challenges that arise. We'll develop strategies for financial independence, create plans for co-parenting, and build a roadmap for your new life.

I think about Sarah, who came to me terrified of financial ruin. Today, she runs her own successful business. Or Maria, who worried she'd never co-parent effectively with her ex - now they're a model of healthy post-divorce parenting. These women, like you, just needed someone to help them take that first step.  Read more testimonials from past clients and see how their lives were transformed!
