“Carolyn and Gillian sure as hell know what it takes to lead a “fuck yes” life. They are passionate, supportive and open with sharing their personal experiences to help you embrace your own fuck yes life. I’ve loved the opportunity to dig deep and reflect on what drives my very being, and think seriously about what I want from my life moving forward.”

They were so generous in sharing their experiences, linking me experts who could help me with every aspect of my break-up and new life, and inviting me to be a part of their online community with other women going through the exact same thing.

Is Women’s Divorce Academy right for me?
If you’re ready to get through your separation or divorce in the best possible shape, and start dreaming big about what your new future might hold, Women’s Divorce Academy is for you. Our ideal members fall into one of these categories:
Newly separated, devastated & overwhelmed
Right now you are feeling alone and afraid. You’re totally overwhelmed and unsure where to start and you need simple practical advice on divorce admin, like what to do, and when to do it. You may be battling on the financial front and scared to look at your bank accounts. You’re definitely stressed & grieving the loss of the life you had & all your dreams for the future.
Struggling with how hard it is to be a single mum
We know that it’s hard when you are learning how to be a single mum! And some days seem too difficult to bear. Your ex might be throwing shit your way, making you doubt yourself and you’re struggling to work through the endless life admin alone. You’re looking down the barrel of co-parenting agreements and it scares you to death. You’re worried for the future, losing sleep and putting yourself last.
Working through recovery, but not sure where to next?
The sun is starting to shine for you again. You may be through the big legal issues and feeling more settled. You’re starting to like the shape of your new life and it feels like there are opportunities, but where do you go from here?! You’ve been with someone for so long you’ve forgotten who you are… what do you even want? You may even want to consider dating again but you’re not sure you trust your judgement!
It’s the club nobody wants to join, but everyone wants to stay!
What we didn’t know when we created this little corner of the internet that was all about celebrating women and encouraging them to take time out for themselves, is that this point of view would be vital for our survival years later.
First, Carolyn’s marriage busted up in early 2017, and then Gillian’s followed suit almost a year to the day later, in 2018.
We’ve both been through two brutal divorces where we made mistakes, we lost out in some big ways, and we burned some bridges in the process.
But through trial and error (oh, so much error!) – we emerged muddy, battle-hardened, and tired as fuck but with each other’s support, as well as amazing help from our ladylove community, we’ve come out the other side.
Not just in one piece, but wiser, happier, healthier, and more fulfilled in our lives than we’ve ever been before.
We’ve fought our way through so we can save you LOADS of heartache, and get you to a place where you are not only surviving, you’re thriving.
We’ve now made it our life’s mission to help you and other women like you turn their separation or divorce from disaster into the best thing that ever happened to you.
