Q&A: Ashley Simpo on Co-mothering, Journaling and Goal Setting

By Erin Levine in Blog, Coparenting, Divorce, Helping a Friend, Inspiration, Tips, Wellness | Posted August 25, 2020

A couple of weeks ago I came across an article about two best friends living in NYC who were struggling to find affordable housing—and realized the best option was to move in together with their kids to save money. How awesome is that? Turns out, one of these trailblazers is Ashley Simpo, the author of one of my favorite book recommendations, “A Kids Book About Divorce.” I got curious and I pseudo stalked her online. What I found was that…

How I Moved on after Divorcing in My Early 30’s

By Jessica Knight in Blended Family, Blog, Inspiration, Wellness | Posted August 8, 2020

I was the person who left my marriage and did not feel heartbreak. I was so heartbroken throughout the final year of the marriage that the end felt needed. It felt necessary. It felt like it was the only way I could be myself again – and breathe again. All of those feelings felt true for the following year. Time and time again, I found myself disappointed by my ex-husband. And while I felt overwhelmed and tired all of the…

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 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 didn’t see it coming. I thought we were a happy couple. We were together over 20 years; we were best friends, we shared everything. We laughed, we made plans for the future. And then I was blindsided. There were (and still are) so many unanswered questions. What did I do wrong? When did he stop loving me? Is there someone else? Time stood still. The days felt endless and the nights were worse. Going to bed alone, I never…

Party of One: 4 Steps to Plan the Ultimate Pity Party (and Why You Need to Have One ASAP)

By Christina Cuevas in Blog, Wellness | Posted March 21, 2019

We’ve ALL been there… Something happens that just throws off our day/week/month and suddenly everything feels unmanageable and we wonder how we’ve found ourselves feeling like this, yet again. This, my friends, means it might be time to throw yourself a pity party. I know: this might sound weird, but hear me out! For so long, the term “pity party” has been used as a way to mock someone who is being overly dramatic in overreacting to a bad situation.…

How a Life Coach Can Help You Thrive after Divorce

By Leah Morris in Blog, Wellness | Posted August 23, 2018

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. You wholeheartedly invested your time, money, energy, and other resources to make it work. You were selfless. You were hopeful. You trusted the…

Three Nitty Gritty Truths About Making Life’s Big Choices & What to Do If You’re Feeling Stuck

By Annie Wright, LMFT in Blog, Tips, Wellness | Posted January 25, 2018

One of the most common things I hear in my therapy practice goes something along the lines of this: “I feel stuck. I just don’t know what to do or how to make choices about [fill in the blank about career, relationships, life choices in general…]. What do I do? How do I get unstuck?” Does this feel familiar? Maybe you’ve been wrestling with a question for a few weeks or a few years now, turning choices over and over and over…
