Whether you’re navigating divorce, learning to co-parent, adjusting to an empty nest, rebuilding after loss, or stepping into a completely new chapter, remember this:
It’s a journey, not a race.
There is no prize for getting through it faster. Healing doesn’t follow a timeline. Growth isn’t measured by how quickly you move, but by your willingness to keep moving at all.
Some days progress looks like a bold step forward. Other days it looks like simply getting out of bed, having a difficult conversation, or choosing hope one more time.
Trust your pace. Honor your process. And keep moving forward.
One step at a time is still progress. ❤️

Thank you to Beth McCormack for this amazing shout-out. Beth, you are a force and one I am proud to call a colleague and a friend!!
..
One of my favorite parts about my work is watching people rebuild after divorce. My dear friend, Jenny Stevens took that idea to an entirely different level!
I first met Jenny when she was a client of mine. She was a social worker in a Chicago school, helping children and families navigate challenges every day.
Through that work, she saw firsthand how important the right support network can be during major life transitions.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of watching her build an entirely new chapter.
After going through her own Collaborative Divorce, she made a bold decision, leaving the career she built and becoming a divorce and life coach.
Jenny now helps people navigate divorce, co-parenting, and major life transitions.
And she has been crushing it ever since!
Today, many of my clients work with Jenny alongside me. Time and time again, I hear from people about how grateful they are that I introduced them to her.
She brings the combination of professional expertise, lived experience, and genuine empathy that helps people find strength and optimism during one of the most difficult times of their lives.
Jenny Stevens Coach is living proof that life after divorce can be full of growth, purpose, and unexpected opportunities.
The world needs more people like Jenny, and I feel lucky to have a front-row seat to everything she continues to build.
If you have not connected with Jenny yet, I highly recommend following her at Jenny Stevens Coach.

One of the biggest surprises in divorce isn’t the emotional impact—it’s the financial one.
Many people underestimate the true financial impact of divorce by 30% to 50%.
Why? Because most people focus on the obvious expenses and overlook the long-term realities: maintaining two households, changes in retirement savings, insurance costs, taxes, parenting expenses, and shifts in day-to-day cash flow.
When emotions are running high, it’s easy to make decisions based on what feels urgent rather than what will serve you best in the years ahead.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
The more clarity you have before making major decisions, the more confident you’ll feel about the path forward.
CoParenting JennyStevensCoach
When children notice a change, they often start filling in the blanks themselves.
In this clip from my conversation on the Divorce and Beyond Podcast, we discuss a question many parents face during separation:
What happens when parents begin sleeping in separate bedrooms while still living under the same roof?
The truth is, children are often far more aware of changes in the family dynamic than adults realize. What matters most isn’t creating a perfect situation—it’s helping children feel safe, supported, and informed in age-appropriate ways.
If you’re navigating separation, divorce, or a major family transition, remember: your children don’t need perfection. They need consistency, honesty, and reassurance that they are loved by both parents.
🎙️ Watch this clip for insights on helping children navigate one of the most common—and often misunderstood—changes during divorce.

Sneak peek: one of those vulnerable truths I think a lot of women quietly carry — the kind we don’t say out loud enough 😏 Catch the full conversation on the podcast.
Some seasons of life don’t come one challenge at a time. They arrive all at once.
Divorce. Loss. Fear. Uncertainty. Identity shifts. Parenting. Career changes. Grief.
In this teaser from my appearance on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, I share a glimpse into what a tsunami of hard times taught me — and one of the biggest lessons may surprise you.
Sometimes the very things that threaten to knock us down become the moments that reshape us in ways we never expected.
If you’re walking through a hard season, feeling stuck in transition, or trying to figure out what comes next, this conversation is for you.

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we imagined it would.
Sometimes it looks like divorce papers instead of forever. Sometimes it looks like coparenting schedules, grief, unanswered questions, rebuilding, or sitting in pajamas a little longer than you planned.
And sometimes healing starts there.
The goal isn’t to rush yourself through hard seasons or pretend you’re okay when you’re not. Rest matters. Grief matters. Your story matters.
But at some point, healing gently asks us to take one small step toward life again.
Not the whole staircase.
Not a five-year plan.
Just one brave thing.
Which one of these five speaks to you today? 👇
OV: You’ve been working with your divorce coach and life finally gives you a chance to test your new skills. 😅
Old you: react immediately, spiral, send the text, replay the conversation 47 times.
New you: pause, breathe, regulate, establish a boundary… and maybe release a little energy in your own way. 😂
Whether you’re navigating divorce, coparenting, grief, career changes, or a major life transition, the goal isn’t perfection. It’s creating new responses, one moment at a time.

Whether you're navigating , -parenting, grief, loss, a career shift, or a life transition you never saw coming, most people begin in the same place: trying to understand why things unfolded the way they did.
And while understanding matters, healing and forward movement often begin when the question changes.
Not Why is this happening to me? But What do I want to create from here?
Because even when you didn't choose the circumstances, you still get a voice in what comes next.

When begins, but life under the same roof hasn’t ended yet, things can get complicated fast.
Who stays in the primary bedroom? Who uses the closet? How do you create boundaries when you’re still sharing a kitchen, routines, and daily life? These aren’t small details. They become real emotional, logistical, and legal considerations that can impact the entire process.
I recently joined Susan Guthrie on the Divorce & Beyond podcast to talk through what this in-between season can look like and how to navigate it with greater clarity and less conflict.

You don’t have to be screaming.
You don’t have to hate each other.
There doesn’t have to be some explosive moment that finally proves something is wrong.
Sometimes a fades quietly.
Conversations start to feel heavy.
You stop bringing things up because nothing ever changes.
You feel lonely sitting right beside the person you love.
You’re exhausted from trying to reconnect, repair, explain, or be heard.
A dying marriage doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like disconnection.
Like emotional distance.
Like two people slowly disappearing from each other.
Awareness is not failure. It’s the beginning of change. ❤️
