Refined By DivorceGoing through a divorce is never easy. For women who put their own career or education on hold to support a spouse and raise their children, it adds an additional layer of difficulty, and it can become a poverty trap that is nearly impossible to climb out of. 


I offer a different option by teaching you how to build a small service business with little to no capital or experience. Entrepreneurship can be the solution to keeping you out of poverty, and divorce can be a great catalyst for change. 


If you are ready to rebuild a thriving life, with financial independence and the freedom and flexibility you need to navigate your post-divorce life, then Refined By Divorce is the place for you! You’ll learn to build a viable business and then analyze, adjust, streamline and optimize your way to further success! 


Every other week I share my own experiences, navigating two divorces while working both inside and outside the home, and in building a successful consulting practice, where I help other women to do the same. 


Every work day, I give you a small dose of Vitamin B -  Business tips and tricks in the form of a quick injection to boost your energy for the day and supplement your business expertise.

 

Success in business requires the right mindset, which is difficult to maintain in the face of personal challenges. With the right tools, resources and support, you can better manage the grief and loss of divorce, and more effectively integrate the changing roles and responsibilities at home and in your business. 


I’ve been there twice before, and understand the complexity of divorce and the fear you face when you’ve suddenly lost your partner, your home, your safety and security. It takes time and effort to rebuild your confidence and start over again, but it can be done. I’m living proof and I use both my personal and professional experience to help you create the life you need and want.  


If you want to recreate a new life of financial independence, freedom, flexibility and peace of mind by building a small service business, you're in the right place! 


Let’s do this!

]]>132 | Exile After Divorce - Losing Your House, Finding Your Home30XYJ8VdZTue, 03 Jan 2023 11:00:00 GMT1066https://www.refinedbydivorce.com/podcast-episode-2-finding-home/falseWhat does home mean to you? With a divorce, you may have to sell your house and move. You may lose some or all of your belongings and, with it, your sense of safety and security. Separation and divorce can feel like an exile from your home, familiarity, and everything you’ve ever known. You’ve spent years building a home with your partner, and it can all come crashing down around you in a flash. As you sift through the rubble of your life, you wonder how you’ll ever be able to rebuild, especially now that you’re on your own.


I’ve been there before and understand the deep sorrow that comes with each and every change. The grief and loss are real, even if you don’t have to move your physical location. It’s an unsettling feeling where everything around you feels unfamiliar, and it takes time to establish that feeling of home once again. In this episode of the Refined By Divorce podcast, I discusses what home means to me, and share my perspective and the lessons learned as I navigated two divorces and rebuilt my home many times. Listen in to learn what actionable steps you can take today to find your home once again!

]]>12 1 | Feeling Invisible? How To Feel Seen & Heard During DivorcehyhTHkcQqkTue, 03 Jan 2023 10:59:00 GMT1014https://www.refinedbydivorce.com/podcast-episode-1-feeling-seen/falseEveryone wants to feel seen and heard, but during and after divorce, many women feel invisible. Despite the progress we've made as a society, divorce still remains a source of guilt and shame, and unfortunately, the stigma remains. The change in your relationship status can ultimately lead to feelings of fear, insecurity, depression and worthlessness.

 

In this first episode of the new show, I share my own experience of feeling invisible throughout my two divorces and what I did to work through the difficulties in order to feel seen and heard again. The solutions provided may not be easy, but they are simple and effective.

 

As with all episodes, I start the show off by spotlighting a woman from history in order to honor them, inspire courage, and provide a backdrop for the subject of the episode. More information on these women can be found on the website.

The new support group is just getting started, so please join us!

 

The goal is to create a community of supportive women who are navigating divorce and want to both support and lean on other like-minded women.
