You may know that life coaching is an emerging field with nearly as many specialties as there are interests. From sports to business, nutrition to marketing, relationships to divorce, life coaches serve as a supportive guide for enacting positive change by building skills for success.
The effects of divorce are deeply personal but you do not have to recover alone. A divorce coach can help you sort out your mixed emotions, deal with changes in family dynamics, and set new lifestyle goals. Unlike some psychotherapists, coaches tend to focus on what is going well, as well as address areas that need some work. The non-judgmental partnership can be a breath of fresh air, after months or years of bickering with a spouse.
At a time when friends and family can be divided, it can help to have a neutral party who can support you in setting new boundaries for kids and exes, and keep your emotions manageable so you can get on with rebuilding your life.
Perhaps you had a business with your ex and need to reinvent yourself for a new career. Maybe there was a hobby or passion you always wanted to explore but “life” or incompatibility seemed to get in the way.
People who are going through a divorce often define their life by before marriage and after marriage. With that distinction, can come a host of behaviors and habits that probably no longer serve you. Without that spouse to blame, it is a good time to do a spring cleaning of your thoughts and actions. A divorce coach is there to keep you honest with your newfound freedom.

Coaching can be an affordable option that can guide you through a confusing and stressful time. It can also remind you of who you were before the turmoil and give you hope for becoming the self you were born to be.
