Divorce Support Group for Women in the Midst of Divorce

It's here.
It's happening.
There's no more pussy-footing around.

You are in the thick of D
or you are legally separating.

And you're realizing it's a stage all to itself.

While something was probably filed and you may have a lawyer,

or you're trying to do it solo,

or you're in mediation, negotiating back and forth,

one part of you is on fire with the crisis,

while another part doesn't really believe this is your reality.

 

But happening it is.

 

It's Grief 101 for some. Overwhelm for others.

It's high-octane fumes of adrenalized stress that seem to keep others just barely alive.

Or it seems like Nothing.     At.      All.     Is.     Happening.

You waver between a myriad of feelings.

You feel numb, or you're resisting, or you're accepting,

or you don't know but you're powering on.

And you realize too, that something else is telling you (deep in your core) that you would benefit from the right kind of support and connection.

You want emotional and practical backing from other women.

You want female energy.

You want their smarts and hearts to help you with what you are living through.

But you are also savvy. You know that this group needs to be guided and directed so all participants -- and the ship at large -- stay on course.

You want a leader.

Frida is here.

What else?

We guarantee you will meet women like you and feel less alone! Outside of the large group conversations, you will be matched with others for small group-connection. These connections provide meaningful support, friendship, and ongoing accountability.

Because we want your small group talks to take you beyond ruminating or simply reliving the challenges you face, you will be guided on how and what to talk about as a starting point.

 

What does this mean in total? 

This means each month in Frida's Group, you will have at least 3 touchpoints (2 large group meetings and at least one Sister Partnership Talk) to keep you grounded, connected, and moving forward.

Is there more?

Yes. For those who seek private attention on divorce-specific topics, Frida offers an additional coaching package:

  • Two 60-minute private sessions with Certified Divorce Coach and High Conflict Divorce Specialist, Dori Braddell.
  • One  Bonus Meeting with a SAS-vetted Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, (CDFA®) -- that's a smart money person who will look at your best plays for your financial negotiation.
  • You can use the private coaching sessions for any topic you choose, or one of these …

Preparing for a Nearing, Difficult Process, or Meeting (questioning, GAL, court appearance?) Learn tools to calm your triggers, stay level, and show up as your best self.

Heading to Mediation? Prepare for the mediation process to increase your odds of the right resolution.

How to Get In: To find out more, schedule your quick, info chat to share where you're at and to learn if Frida is right for you. Schedule your conversation now. We look forward to connecting.

Why: Because you don't want to keep doing this alone.

Your friends and family, while meaning well, don't completely get it. You want support, guidance, and a community of other smart women.

You want a place to go, to vent, share, feel inspired, and motivated to carry on -- to stay committed to you and to getting through to your Best Other Side.

There's an alternative to isolation.

Be with us.
