Divorce is overwhelming, period.
Sometimes you teeter on the line of "do I stay or do I go" for what can seem like a torturous eternity. I get it. I was the same. The overwhelm itself can be enough to just try our best to ignore the circumstances so we can avoid the pressure of figuring it all out. There are times you just wish you knew what may be coming up, or what to expect, that would help you take another step forward - no matter how much time may be in between those steps. That's why I feel it's important you have access to this information as early as you need it, for as long as you need it. Because sister, there are still things that come up even beyond the most amicable of divorces that we just didn't even expect.
We feel better when we feel prepared
fear and uncertainty are at the foundation of the stress we feel and these are only a fraction of the questions we ponder:
Where do I even begin?
How do I know what to ask?
What if I'm still not 100% certain this is what I want?
Can I even do anything to prep before hiring an attorney?
Is this going to get dragged out in court for months (or years!)?
What are my options?
What about the house?
How can I figure out what's the best long-term strategy for me?
What should I consider when it comes to making sure my kids are taken care of?
How will I even afford a divorce?

Divorce Strategy is Not a One-Size-Fits-All Solution and yours is no different

I'm Jamie
Also a Divorcée
I am passionate about helping women to see that when we harness the power of awareness - both internal & external - then we can make incredibly aligned decisions, helping us choose the right strategy for us. Just as with my real estate clients, every single person's situation is unique and therefore their strategy needs to be as well. Just because divorce is something none of us want to face and is a deeply private circumstance, doesn't mean we shouldn't be talking about it so women have the resources to feel prepared to make informed decisions.
There can be peace on the other side of this. Take this time to reconnect with yourself. Learn who you are at your core. Love her. Embrace her. Value her.
