As always our incredible podcast, Dear Divorce Diary, is a free resource for all divorced women seeking to use their divorce as a springboard for their greatest time of healing, manifesting their dream life, and doing so with a blend of holistic and scientific healing modalities. (link)
All of our programs reside in Cocoon, our divorce support community for women just like you. It’s both online and in a convenient app. Support on the go and support you can count on!
Healing happens in layers, integrating mind and body. It’s a journey, not a quick fix.
And you might know that, but when you’re still dealing with anything from lonely nights to co-parenting issues, financial hits to yet another expert telling you “You’re healed!” when you still don’t feel healed… it’s hard.
This is why I created:
A Different D Word–a comprehensive 12-month program designed not just to manage but to overcome chronic negative beliefs and emotional issues.
It’s a year commitment because the body, mind, and soul need more than just 3 months.
Going through a divorce can feel like walking through an emotional storm–and that overwhelm can take over your life… if you let it.
A bridge between our intro journaling program and a year of committed healing, Crisis to Clarity is a 90-day container that gives you purposeful time to redefine, rebuild, and reclaim your life.
What you feel right now is valid. And while you’re not alone in your feelings, you can move past them with support and guidance. Our healing bridge is here for this time.
This is an empowering 21-day journaling series. And before you scoff at journaling…
Research shows people who journal get more shocking benefits than those who don’t, especially when compared to just talk therapy. And when it comes to immersive guided journaling, using specific prompts you will…
Get deeper results–faster.
We’ve designed this program to all exist in our own app, so it’s super convenient.
Why did I create a divorce support group for women who are going through this painful life change?
Because many women experience divorce – but not all women experience healing after divorce.
I know this because I have experienced it in my own life. And I have witnessed it when meeting my divorce coaching clients for the first time. Women have come to me during many different stages of their life after divorce —
It could be immediately after the divorce took place, while they’re still navigating the details, or even years after it was finalized.
And the one thing women in our divorce support group have in common is that they haven’t worked through all of their thoughts and emotions yet. They’ve been given an invitation for personal growth and they need help recognizing that and finding their way to a path of positive mental health, wellness and peace.
There are probably a thousand metaphors for the “messy middle” and I can’t think of one I like better than a cocoon. Anyone who’s read A Very Hungry Caterpillar has an idea of the caterpillar shoring up on food resources and then just… taking a break and suddenly emerging as the glorious butterfly.
But we know… that cocoon shields the caterpillar-butterfly as they become a pile of goo while going through that metamorphosis. We know divorce recovery isn’t a straight line, and there will be times where you wonder who am I? in that messy pile-of-goo middle. This is what we are here for!
Divorce recovery can be your greatest time of healing and self-discovery where you truly become something you were always meant to be… with the right support.
Our programs (A Different ‘D’ Word, Crisis to Clarity, and Post-Divorce Roadmap) as well as both our Dear Divorce Diary podcast free content and its premium content within Cocoon, our here to support you on this journey.
We’d love for you to join us.
Divorce recovery–like all kinds of grief–is not a linear process. How long you take to recover after divorce and recovering from a major life transition requires care, healing, and often, support. One of the main reasons we offer a divorce recovery group for women who want to address root causes from within is because we realized, the post-divorce journey often uncovers other areas we also need to heal.
Divorce recovery is the process of healing the emotional, physical, and identity-level impact of divorce so you can reconnect with yourself, rebuild trust, and create a life that feels aligned, grounded, and fully your own. At A Different ‘D’ Word, we view divorce recovery as more than getting over a relationship. The pain of divorce may feel like it all stems from the end of a marriage, but often the recovery process uncovers deep patterns, attachment issues, and opportunities to support nervous system healing.
There is no universal timeline for divorce recovery. Healing happens in layers, not stages you simply check off. While the legal process may end quickly, rebuilding confidence, identity, emotional safety, and self-trust often takes intentional support over time. Every woman’s divorce recovery journey is unique.
Many women continue to struggle after divorce because divorce affects far more than relationship status. It can impact your nervous system, self-worth, routines, future plans, and sense of identity. If you’re still struggling, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It may mean there are deeper layers of healing asking for attention. Thriving after divorce often requires time, support, and self-compassion.
The stages of divorce recovery often include grief, adjustment, identity reconstruction, self-discovery, and personal growth. While every journey is unique, healing is rarely a straight path. Many women revisit old wounds with new awareness and greater capacity to heal as they move forward.
A divorce support group is a safe space where women can connect with others who understand the challenges of divorce firsthand. At A Different ‘D’ Word, members gain support, perspective, encouragement, and meaningful connection through shared experiences and guided conversations. A divorce support group can help women feel less alone while navigating the healing process.
A divorce support group provides community, connection, and shared healing, while therapy focuses on individualized clinical care. Both can play important roles in healing after divorce. Many women find that personal insights deepen when they are witnessed, validated, and supported by others walking a similar path.
A divorce coach helps women navigate the emotional and practical challenges of divorce with greater clarity and confidence. Depending on their training and approach, a divorce coach may provide guidance, accountability, mindset support, and tools to help clients make intentional decisions and move forward with purpose.
Whether you need a divorce coach, therapist, or both depends on your unique needs. A therapist helps address emotional wounds, trauma, and mental health concerns, while a divorce coach often focuses on goals, decision-making, and creating a path forward. Many women benefit from both forms of support during different phases of divorce recovery.
Confidence after divorce is rebuilt through self-trust, emotional healing, healthy boundaries, and consistent action. It grows gradually as you learn to trust yourself again. At A Different ‘D’ Word, we believe confidence is not created by pretending you’re okay. It develops when you honor your needs, heal old wounds, and create evidence that you can navigate uncertainty and thrive.
Many women feel stuck after divorce because healing doesn’t happen only in the mind. Even after significant emotional and cognitive work, the body, nervous system, and sense of identity often need support as well. Sometimes the missing piece isn’t more effort—it’s deeper integration and healing on multiple levels.
A Different ‘D’ Word is a year-long divorce recovery experience designed to support the whole woman, not just her mindset. Through EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic healing, community support, homeopathy, retreats, and personalized guidance, we help women move beyond surviving divorce and into genuine transformation and self-discovery.
A Different ‘D’ Word is designed for women who recognize that divorce impacted more than their marriage. It is for those who feel disconnected from themselves, have already tried traditional approaches, and are ready for deeper healing that honors the mind, body, and spirit. The program provides a supportive environment for women seeking meaningful and lasting transformation after divorce.
