When my husband and I decided to separate, a world When my husband and I decided to separate, a world of single parenting came along with it. Sounds obvious, right? But I was so focused on the end of my marriage I hadn’t really stopped to consider the whole new world that awaited me. It wasn’t entirely foreign. I was brought up by a single mum, and I was a single mum once before for a year or so, but that was only to one child. Now there were three. I was outnumbered. It was tough on the younger children, as they adjusted to having two homes and wondered in their four- and six-year-old minds why we didn’t all live together any more. We had the same conversations over and over, and I patiently explained that we think this is the best way for us all to move forward and be happy. It took about eight weeks or so for things to calm down but they did, and now my kids think it’s hilarious that their parents ever lived together at all because we’re “so different”. Taking care of your kids and helping them through the trauma of divorce is just one of the things we help with at Women’s Divorce Academy. You can learn more and join us via the link in our bio. Sending love, my friend. You WILL get through this. You're made of tough stuff. #divorce #divorcecoach #womensdivorcecoach #divorcetips
In the early days of my separation my life was on In the early days of my separation my life was on fire. Money was so short and all the nice-to-haves were removed from my budget so I could cover the basics and support myself and my two boys. It was such a tough time, I was barely getting by, waking in the night stressing about every cent and fearful of what my future would hold. I NEVER could have imagined that 5 years on I would be financially secure, and that I did it on my own! Yesterday I was able to go to my hairdresser and get a full head of foils without worrying about it (I have a mountain of hair so it’s not a cheap prospect 🤣) , that would have never made it into my budget back then! My point is that right now you’re likely to be in the weeds, worrying about where money will come from, scared for your financial future - but things can change for you, I promise! We cover off some basics of the approach we’ve taken to turn our divorces into the best thing that ever happened in our free webinar and we’d love you to have a squiz so you can feel less afraid and more in control.

Going through a break up? Don’t make the mistake Going through a break up? Don’t make the mistake of pretending you’re fine, just getting on with it, or hiding away and not asking for help. Divorce is TRAUMA - you’re not meant to be fine. ❤️

This is one of the most common questions we get as This is one of the most common questions we get asked in Women’s Divorce Academy - and the answer is simple...and complex. The short answer is that you DEFINITELY need to talk to get an understanding of your legal position when it comes to things like child arrangements and property settlement. A lot of people assume 50-50 is the answer to both, but in most cases that just isn't true. But if things are amicable and you agree with your ex about everything, you can certainly do a whole lot without a lawyer too. Take a look at our FREE webinar for more chat about when you might need legal advice - and who you should NEVER take legal advice from. You don't have to do this alone - we've got you!
