The first step of divorce is rarely a legal one—it’s a heartbeat, a whisper, a quiet “I think I need help.” In this episode of Divorce Happens, host Olivia Howell sits down with divorce and life transition coach Lisa Lisser to unpack the overwhelm of the divorce process and why having a guide matters. Lisa shares how divorce coaching offers clarity, emotional support, and a practical map when you’re standing at the edge of a life you’re not sure how to leave. This is an honest, judgment-free conversation for anyone struggling to take that first step.

Grounded in both professional expertise and personal experience, Lisa explains how a divorce coach helps you prioritize your values, prepare for meetings with attorneys, and collaborate with financial advisors (CDFAs) to plan the life that comes next. She names the shame, the fear, and the late-night spirals—and then gently reframes them as data for strategy. Listeners hear real client moments where a clear plan shortened timelines, reduced legal fees, and transformed chaos into divorce strategies that moved cases forward.

If you’re craving steadiness and clarity in an uncertain season, this conversation delivers it with compassion. You’ll learn why “call a coach first” can save money, how to articulate your needs without re-traumatizing yourself, and what it means to become the expert of your own life again. Expect one mindset shift: divorce coaching isn’t about looking back—it’s about building forward. Expect one actionable takeaway: start a simple blueprint (values, priorities, budget) before you hire anyone, and watch your entire divorce support team work more effectively.
