If you follow me, you probably want to improve your love life. No one plans to get a divorce. But what do you do if you’re at the end of your rope, you’ve tried everything to make your marriage work, and you think divorce might be your best option but you don’t want to upend your life and family?

Thankfully, just as there are good relationship coaches to help improve your marriage, there are also divorce coaches to help you make the best decisions for you and your family. That’s why I decided to interview Karen Covy, acclaimed divorce coach, mediator, and lawyer, about how to navigate this tough transition with as much ease and grace as possible. 

Here’s what we cover in our interview: 

-How do you make a big, hairy, emotional decision (ie like whether you should get a divorce) when there’s a lot at stake and you don’t want to screw up? 

-Is there a “right time” to divorce? If so, when is it and how do you know if you’re there?

-Divorce can be totally overwhelming. If someone is facing divorce, what should they do? Where do they start? What steps should they take first?

-How can you set yourself up to have an amicable divorce?

-How can you become the CEO of your own divorce? (... and is that even a "thing"?)

-What is a divorce coach and why would anyone need one?

-How do you protect your kids in divorce?
