Dawn has spent most of her career as a licensed marriage and family therapist. Adding in EMDR therapy and later holistic healing methods such as homeopathy allowed Dawn to embrace the both/and approach of science AND nature to heal her divorce recovery clients in ways traditional talk therapy only began to touch. Dawn’s passion for rebel healers led her to create a divorce recovery support community, Cocoon.
After her own divorce, Divorce Recovery Coach Tiffini faced many of the same things you do, ultimately emerging with the same message she shares today: you have to become the version of yourself ready to choose the life after divorce you want.
Tiffini guides our divorce recovery coaching sessions in Cocoon and supports all clients in our divorce recovery support programs.
Producer Joy’s post-separation healing journey often found her wondering, “How did I get here?” It forced her to confront how she’d allowed herself to be neglected for so long. The realization hit her deeply—if she didn’t address and heal her own wounds, she’d unknowingly pass them on to her daughters, perpetuating a cycle she was determined to break. Supporting other women through their pain and helping them navigate their toughest seasons has become one of her greatest joys. Reclaiming a redeemed life and story is her purpose.
I’m remarried now.
My husband has loved me since I was 16. I was the one who wouldn’t commit to him.
He came to my first wedding and that day my dad said to him, “It should have been you, I’m really sorry.” (Can you imagine?!)
Remember when I said it got worse before it got better? The guy I began dating over a year after my finalized divorce was extra cruel. I got really scared and called Dad. My dad knew Brian (my current husband) lived nearby and reached out to him. He gave Brian strict instructions to watch over me until I felt safe again.
Brian and I had always stayed in touch and were always good friends. By this time, I realized he was the most solid and loving partner I could ever want.
From there, our true love story began. Now, don’t get me wrong. I still had hang-ups and personal work to do! I judged him and pushed him away at times. My therapist told me that I was unkind and that my agnostic husband was Godlier than I was, because I was judgmental, and he was unconditionally loving and accepting. My mom pointed out my hang-ups about money.
I was getting all this feedback from people that I was still stuck in judgment, and it was blocking me from the thing I said I wanted.
I finally listened, and something flipped in my heart. And my marriage was born.
At some point during our courtship, we went to a friend’s daughter’s birthday party. These types of events were typically painful for me as I had gone through fertility treatments in my previous marriage and was diagnosed infertile.
As we were driving back from this party, I said, “You really want to be with me for the rest of your life even if I could never have children?” And he said, “Yes.”
Eight days later, I learned I was pregnant with our daughter. He had bought an engagement ring months before the party but I didn’t know that. He proposed; we quickly got married. So it happened all out of order. And that’s why our daughter’s name is Grace!
We all get a second chance. This was Brian’s first marriage but it was my second marriage and I had reservations. I was terrified. I didn’t want a wedding, and I was frantic at the thought of him moving in. I thought, “I am not equipped for this.”
And then getting pregnant felt like God was telling me: “Stop. Let go.”
I did. And YOU can, too.
You can embrace the life after divorce you’ve always wanted, but never quite dared to put words to…until now.
