8 Positive, Empowering Resources Every Divorced Woman Should Know About

Let’s be honest — divorce is disorienting.
It can leave you feeling like the ground beneath you has shifted. You’re juggling emotions, decisions, and maybe even starting over in a hundred different ways — all while trying to hold it together.
But here’s what I want you to know:
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
There are real, trusted, encouraging resources that can walk with you — from the emotional healing to the legal stuff to rediscovering who you are.
Below are eight of my favorite resources for women going through divorce. These are the ones that bring you back to yourself — your strength, your clarity, and yes… your smile.
1. ReBranding Divorce
If you’re asking “What happens to me now?” — this is the place to start.
ReBranding Divorce is built around the idea that you don’t just survive divorce — you rise from it.
