  • A Little Background

  • Thank you for taking an interest in building a coaching relationship. It’s lovely to connect!

    Whether you are considering divorce, in the middle of a high-conflict divorce, or planning a beautiful post-divorce future, something tells me you are here because you need support and someone who gets it.

    Perhaps you no longer wish to lose sleep over the stress and overwhelm of your relationship and would love to do away with the delicate tip-toeing andwalking on eggshells for the sake of your spouse. Maybe you’re dwelling over the endless ‘what-ifs’ – what if I stay, what if I leave, what if I lose my kids, what if we go to court – bargaining with yourself (or others) to postpone or undo the inevitable. It could be that you’re drowning in legal fees and struggling with the stress and uncertainty of court or mediation. I imagine you deal with moments of feeling alone and wanting things to be different, and of worrying about your child(ren). Oh, the worrying. The seemingly endless worrying.

    Years ago when I was burdened by all of the above, I faced a long list questions. I presume you have many questions, too, and would so appreciate someone who will:

    • respectfully and actively listen.
    • quickly understand and relate to your experience without imposing a need for justification.
    • not judge or criticize you because they, too, have been in your shoes.
    • help you strategize and make important decisions.
    • share their experience and missteps so that you can avoid needless grief as you plan with purpose and intention.

    When I finally found the courage to leave my marriage, my girls were only two and five and I was a hot mess. After year of existing in a cycle of fight, flight, freeze, I knew the decision to divorce was the right things to do. That said, I was so scared and extremely naive. I felt incredibly insecure about communicating with my high-conflict ex, and needed help creating smart boundaries for our interaction and communication that were both child-centered and reasonable. What’s more, I knew nothing about the legal system and had little insight when it came to engaging my attorney without breaking the bank. I was desperate to share my story and turned to her for everything, even for emotional connection, which resulted in legal bills I wasn’t prepared to carry.

    These days, it is my privilege to be for you the woman I needed when I was scared, sad and uncertain in the face of divorce. I am so grateful for the opportunity to take my transformation and learned lessons, and help you feel heard, organized, and hopeful!

    Together, we will identify your goals, learn to set and enforce boundaries, streamline your methods of communication, and utilize a sharp, strategic mindset. As a result, you will be able to endure the business of divorce and achieve mental and emotional peace by filtering the noise from the music.

    Today, I celebrate my post-divorce reality with great joy and gratitude as I share my heart with my forever husband, Spencer. He nurtures a beautiful connection with both of my girls, which I appreciate beyond measure, and shows up every day with compassion, patience, and a knack for weaving in fun and adventure. Together, we welcomed our sweet little boy in 2021 and continue to embrace the beauty of new beginnings, family and love every single day.

    My ex is still in the picture, and while many struggles and hurdles remain to be managed, the work I have done has allowed me to rent far less space in my head and heart to him. I have realized my ability to direct the sails by leaning into the positive and embracing the power of healing and acceptance.

    I hope I can help you do the same as you embark on this journey.

    Thank you for placing your trust in me and welcome!

    Warmly,
    Meghan
