Navigating All Things Divorce...One Wave at a Time...
Let me guess….
You’re feeling isolated, angry, crazy and confused even…
You find yourself wanting to smash your electronics when your ex reaches out. You hear the notification and immediately see red.
You cannot believe how low your ex will go just to hurt you.
You find yourself trauma dumping about your ex onto your friends, family, even your attorney…any one who will listen.
Maybe….
You found me because you are searching for a way to move forward, find peace, and stop giving your ex all of your energy. You are desperate for a way to stop your triggers, deactivate your fight or flight response, and become less reactive.
While professionally I am a certified divorce recovery coach and coparenting mentor, personally I have been where you are and I “did divorce” ungracefully. I was obsessed with emotional justice.
I have made it my life’s work to show you how to “do your divorce” gracefully, to heal, to choose yourself, and to redefine justice.
Let’s get to work!

More conflict = More energy, time, and money

I know if you are anything like I was years ago, you are feeling a little lost, very angry, and ALONE...
I sat right where you are wondering if things would ever be bright again, if I would ever not feel broken. I promise you the sun will rise again and so will you...
Let me tell you a little about my story...
I survived my own divorce, barely, and am still navigating the subsequent co-parenting journey. I am also a survivor of a lengthy, expensive, custody battle riddled with conflict, alienation tactics, extortion, and false allegations. I may have survived both, but I did so very….ungracefully.
My journey through the family court system burned who I once was to the ground. Leaving me with a host of health issues, including a panic disorder and a trauma response that has taken years, and a great deal of inner work, to even begin to heal.
I am rising from the ashes of what was intended to destroy me, writing one hell of a comeback story…
Let me help you do the same!

This episode is for all the f%cking co-parents out there. This week, Gabrielle sits down with Dr. Courtney Evans, a divorce and co-parenting coach, as they discuss the complexities of co-parenting, particularly in toxic situations. Dr. Evans has seen both sides of the equation as she’s been through her own divorce (which stayed amicable) as well as her current husband’s divorce and subsequent custody battle (which was extremely toxic and wildly expensive). Seeing an opportunity to help others, Dr. Evans drew on her experience from the healthcare system to develop her coaching business, where she now advises clients through their own divorces, separations, and co-parenting situations. In toxic environments, Dr. Evans advocates for a mindset shift to deal with the emotional toll and reduce conflict, as well as focusing on personal healing to reach a more positive state of wellbeing. No one ever said co-parenting was easy, but Dr. Evans' approach may just be the playbook you need!
We had a deep discussion about the power of forgiveness and healing after experiencing difficult relationships, especially divorce. We also talked about the physical toll that stress and unresolved emotions can take on our bodies, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and grace during challenging times.
