You’re Not Alone—And You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Hey Jane,

If we were sitting across from each other right now, sharing a cup of coffee, I’d want to remind you of something important: you are stronger than you think.

Divorce can feel like a breaking point, but for so many of us, it also becomes a turning point. It’s the moment we start putting ourselves first, reconnecting with who we are, and rebuilding a life that actually feels good.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Some days are exhausting. Some nights are lonely. And sometimes, the path forward feels unclear. But here’s what I know for sure: you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

The picture below represents so much more than just a happy moment. It’s a snapshot of the life I built—one I wasn’t sure was even possible in those early days. When my marriage ended, I was overwhelmed, financially unprepared, and completely uncertain about what the future held for me and my kids. In tonight’s email, I’m sharing more about that part of my story—the parts that were too much, too hard, and left me wondering how I was going to make it through.

If any of this resonates, I hope you take a moment to read. Because no matter where you are in your journey, I want you to know that you’re not alone in this.

Can You Trust Yourself?

Dating after divorce isn’t just about swiping right or picking the perfect outfit—it’s about knowing, deep down, that you’re ready to make good decisions for yourself. For many women, divorce can leave behind a lingering question: “How do I know if I can trust myself again?”

Maybe it’s been years (or decades) since you were single. Maybe your last big relationship ended in heartache, and you’re worried about repeating the same patterns. It’s okay—rebuilding trust in yourself is part of the journey.
Before diving into the dating pool, it’s important to pause and reflect. Are you truly ready? These five signs will help you decide if you’re in the right place emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually to start dating again.

Throughout this blog, you’ll find 10 “ask yourself” questions to guide your reflection. Take a moment to write down your answers—it’s amazing how much clarity you gain when your thoughts are right there in front of you, on paper.
