Marlene’s support and coaching has helped me in away where I am able to feel and work with my own strength in a different perspective. This not only helps myself, but also the people around me. I find I am able to pause more before reacting, bringing grace forward to any troubling situations. I found Marlene to be very loving and kind, and ready to get to work meeting me exactly where I was at. She has a way of seeing the strengths we forget about or went unnoticed for some time. Thank you Marlene, I am forever grateful.
Welcome, I’m Marlene.
I’m a Certified Divorce Coach supporting women going through the intense emotions and difficult decisions of divorce.
Divorce can be the unexpected, unwanted, and usually stressful transition into your next chapter.
Becoming informed and strategic, along with learning how to manage your emotions and unavoidable conflicts, can save you time, money, and energy.
If you’re going through divorce and you’re struggling in a tangle of emotions while needing to make big (smart!) decisions in your divorce process… and you are also determined not to come out of your divorce a bitter, angry, sad individual… then my work as a Professional Divorce Coach is for you.
I know from my own personal experience, as well as that of my clients, that it’s possible to feel like you’re falling apart and your world is upside down – and still keep choosing YOU.
There is a path to rising strong, building resilient grit, and reducing the stress and destruction divorce can have – and that is the path I show my clients.
What is Divorce Coaching?
The American Bar Association defines divorce coaching as a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns.
The Benefits of Divorce Coaching:
- Save time, money, and emotional energy
- Manage stress, high emotions, and inevitable conflict
- Learn conflict management and negotiation skills
- Develop courage – feel less fear and stress
- Be informed and prepared
- Get clarity on what divorce will mean for you and your family
- Help define options, create goals, and take actions
- Personal support when you need it most
- Self-empowerment and personal growth
- Showing up for the process as your best self with your values intact
As your Divorce Coach, I support you with:
- Choosing the best process for your situation and budget
- Creating a divorce plan and co-parenting plan if needed
- Preparing for mediation or litigation
- Developing a financial plan for the future
- Choosing an attorney or mediator
- Minimizing disruption and impact on children
- Recovery from betrayal or emotional abuse
- Setting boundaries for your well-being
- Improving communications skills and reducing conflict
- Strategies for self-care, staying healthy, and creating wellness in mind, body, & spirit
- Accountability – helping you to stay true to your values, your goals, and the outcomes you’re working toward
A Divorce Coach is like a personal trail guide.
Someone experienced, trusted, and trained, who walks by your side along the path, helping you get unstuck, out of overwhelm and past the fears of uncertainty. When your unanswered questions need specific legal answers, your coach can direct you to additional resources as needed.
As a Professional Divorce Coach, I work with clients to support, encourage, and guide them through the business side of divorce while helping them manage the emotional side simultaneously.
I help clients develop the skills necessary to make the best possible decisions about their future. Those decisions will be important during divorce as well as when they make the transition into their next chapter, beyond divorce.
