By Erin Levine in Blog, Wellness | Posted October 17, 2019

Whether you’re outside or inside California, divorce meditations like these can help you stay focused on what matters. I’ve been a practicing divorce lawyer for 15 years. I’ve helped couples dissolve marriages that neither party wanted to continue.

I Didn’t See it Coming. But I’ve Moved On, and You Can, Too.

By Jennifer Giamo in Blog, Divorce, Tips, Wellness | Posted August 22, 2019

I used to present myself to the world very differently. I built a façade that I wanted the world to see, that I was happy, in a wonderful marriage and very successful. But then I went through a divorce that shook me to my core, and I was forced to admit that my life wasn’t so perfect. I lost my marriage, my home, and because my ex and I had worked together, also my career. I began to question my…

5 Ways to Reclaim Your (Whole) Self After Divorce

By Tara Eisenhard in Blog, Divorce, Tips, Wellness | Posted May 3, 2018

“I went to war for what we had; you never even laced up your boots.” – N.R. Shepherd You spent years trying to turn your relationship into the type of partnership that you had hoped for – one where you (always) had each other’s backs, celebrated one another’s “whole” selves, enjoyed moments of playfulness and shared intimacy.
