Serena Varendorff

I am a mid forties CEO and academic, mum to two, partner to one, step-pal to two, ex-wife to one as well as supposedly juggling a pile of other personal and professional relationships. Some days I love myself sick and think I am nailing all this craziness like a boss, other days I appall myself with just how chronically I am screwing up the minefield that is my life.

Are you trying to keep things nice with your ex, a Are you trying to keep things nice with your ex, and settle without talking to a lawyer? Look, we get it - but it's one of the biggest mistakes we see women making. And it's more common than you might think. We're brought up to be 'nice' and not rock the boat, and there can be so much emotional strain on this time in your life. Of course you want to keep things as nice as possible - for the kids, and for your own mental health. So you’re going through how you’ll divide this lifetime of stuff that you’ve bought together - and your ex might say they just want what’s fair for both of you, right? And they might say 50-50 is totally fair and you’re like OH MY GOD ME TOO, LET’S MAKE THIS QUICK AND EASY. But this is a massive mistake. One you could regret for many years to come. Let us tell you all about why, and what you should do instead, in our FREE webinar at womensdivorceacademy.com. #womensdivorceacademy #womensdivorcecoach #divorcetips #divorce #coparenting #boundaries #divorcequotes #lifeafterdivorce #divorcedmom #divorcedmum #divorcecoach #divorceparty #singleparents #divorcelife #divorceparties #divorcedparents

Hi, we're Gillian (left) and Carolyn (right). Betw Hi, we're Gillian (left) and Carolyn (right). Between us we have five children, four stepchildren, and three businesses. We met when Carolyn started dating Gillian's friend, who Carolyn later married....and then divorced. Carolyn got to keep Gillian in the property settlement, and then when Gillian separated, almost a year to the day after Carolyn, we started the long and tough journey of being divorce buddies. We have cried, laughed, travelled, and met amazing people together since this all started, and it's our mission now to help women going through divorce to not have to do it the hard way like we have. We are firm believes in community and in women helping other women, and we'd love to help you too.

If there’s a lament we hear a lot of from our Di If there’s a lament we hear a lot of from our Divorce Club members, and other mates we have going through horrible break-ups, it’s that their ex thinks they’re useless/stupid/a bad parent/incompetent…the list goes on, but feel free to insert your own criticism in here too. Know what we’re talking about? The thing about exes is they know where your soft spots are, and they’re not averse to sticking something sharp and stabby into them – either to gain the upper hand in a conflict situation, or simply because they can. And so follows the inevitable question: “How can I convince my ex that I’m [insert redeeming feature here]?” There’s a simple answer to that: you can’t. A slightly longer answer is: why would you bother? #womensdivorceacademy #womensdivorcecoach #divorcetips #divorce #coparenting #boundaries #divorcequotes #lifeafterdivorce #divorcedmom #divorcedmum #divorcecoach #divorceparty #singleparents #divorcelife #divorceparties #divorcedparents
