D*vorce Isn’t a Bad Word: Navigating Uncoupling

FACEBOOK LIVE SERIES

It’s true. D*vorce isn’t a bad word. I think more people need to hear that. My team and I experienced –
first hand – the number of couples looking to part ways rising during COVID. Broken marriages have become the
pandemic’s other toll. I want you to know you’re not alone.

In my six-part Facebook LIVE series I talk – with the experts – about the tough
topics surrounding separation and divorce.

  • Money Matters
  • Staying out of the courtroom
  • Keeping kids out of therapy
  • What happens to the family home?
  • Resilience and rebuilding (both your confidence and your wealth)
  • How you can move forward in a healthy way

Through these conversations, my hope is to ease the turmoil of those going through an uncoupling.
