The early days can feel like a storm — but they’re also your foundation.
In my experience, women who focus on these 3 things gain traction fast:
Emotional regulation
Knowing their financial basics
Interviewing professionals (not just hiring the first one)

Move small. Move smart.

It’s not paranoia — it’s preparation.
Start your divorce binder now.

Receipts. Emails. Texts. Contact info.

In my experience, documentation doesn’t just protect your case — it protects your sanity.
Keep records. Keep notes. Keep your power.

Co-parenting won’t always feel fair. But it can still be child-focused.
In my professional experience, the most effective co-parents ask one question often:
“What’s best for them right now?”
Not you. Not your ex.
Them.

If that guides your decisions, you’re already doing better than you think.

The legal system doesn’t care who was "right or wrong".
So save your energy.

What matters now is how you show up, not how your ex messed up.
In my experience, the women who stop trying to “win” and start thinking clearly — emotionally and strategically — walk away stronger.

Think of your marriage like a game of baseball.
You trained, showed up, gave it your all.
But not every team wins the championship — and not every game is worth staying in.

Walking away doesn’t mean you lost. It means you knew when to call it.

“Do I need a lawyer?” isn’t the only question.
Ask better. Get better results.

Here are 3 questions I encourage all women to ask early in the process:
1️⃣ What are my resolution options — mediation, litigation, or collaborative?
2️⃣ What should I focus on this month (not this year)?
3️⃣ How do I protect my finances and my peace of mind right now?

Write them down. Bring them to your consult. And remember: you’re interviewing them.

Divorce isn’t a solo sport.
You need a team. Choose them wisely.

Your divorce dream team should include:
A therapist or coach who helps you emotionally regulate
An attorney or mediator who explains, not pressures
A financial advisor or CDFA who tells you the truth

You are not auditioning to be liked — you are interviewing to be respected.

Before you do anything else — pause.
You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a steady mindset.

Divorce doesn’t start with filing paperwork. It starts with getting centered.
In my professional experience, women who take 48 hours to breathe, write down what they know for sure, and hold off on panic-fueled decisions fare much better long term.
You don’t need to move fast — you need to move with clarity.

Some days you’ll feel strong.
Other days you’ll feel broken.
Most days, you’ll feel both.

You’re allowed to miss the good parts and still know this is the right choice.
You’re allowed to be angry and still want peace.
You’re allowed to laugh again — even when your heart still hurts.

Let it be complicated. That’s what healing looks like.

Your kids won’t remember every detail of your divorce — but they’ll remember how you made them feel.
Stay calm. Stay honest. Stay grounded.

One of the most powerful tools we have during divorce is how we show up in front of our kids.
Speak about the other parent respectfully
Acknowledge your emotions but don’t make them your child’s burden
Be consistent — even when things are hard

This isn’t just about now. It’s about who they’ll become.

You don’t need to be ready to divorce to start learning what it involves.
In fact, the best decisions happen before things fall apart.

One of the most empowering things you can do is learn about divorce before you’re in the thick of it.
What are your rights?
What does mediation look like?
How can you protect your peace, your finances, and your children?

In my professional experience, gathering information doesn’t mean you’re committing to anything — it means you’re preparing to lead.
