General Philosophy: GOAL SETTING
If something isn't working for you, then fix it.
Obviously, if you keep making the same mistakes over and over again on how to resolve conflict, and it fails, then new methods must be used. The biggest mistake women make during divorce is putting all the focus on her partner - her anger, her rejection, her sadness. She is giving her to be ex-husband the power of her thoughts instead of focusing on herself. By creating a method on how to divert all that time and energy spent focusing on your spouse, you can start moving forward with your life.
I know, I have been there and I realize so much of my time and money was wasted on anger and rejection towards my partner. Sitting in your lawyer's office emotionally distraught time and time again will get you nowhere in the legal process; and you will spend THOUSANDS of dollars using your lawyer as your therapist!
I know, I have been there and realize what it is like to spend hours wondering why the marriage failed, scared about the future and financially unstable. I spent six months in this state of despair. With the help of a very good counselor, I realized that all that time and energy used worrying and not accomplishing anything could very simply be put in another direction. IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!
I will guide you on the steps you need to take to stay SOLUTION-FOCUSED when meeting with those divorce professionals and finding the necessary outlets for your emotions. With all that energy focused in a positive direction, you will be AMAZED on how you will grow during this time in your life.
Since my divorce, I have focused on my career, physical and spiritual growth, and my relationships. My life is more exciting than ever thanks to studying professionals and interviewing those women that have successfully navigated through their divorce. Allow me the opportunity to be your transition coach and give you the tools you need to prosper during this emotional time in your life.
