ELLEN TYLER Business & Mindset Coach

I was often referred to as "shy".

How did I get from a science and math geek - to SALES?!

I don't know why I said "YES" when I was asked to change to the sales department.

Saying "Yes" early, and not wanting to fail has influenced my career - heck my whole life.

I didn't decide to become a business & mindset coach. I was the one who hired the coaches along my career.

But, I experienced exponential growth in my life and income when I worked with coaches and mentors.

There was my AHA! moment - if I could experience a quantum leap, I know others can.

That is HOW I went from a shy, introverted, hardworking, overworked girl, to helping anyone struggling who wants to create a major

breakthrough.

I get to help people experience the life of their dreams. That was why I said YES to everything!

Andrea after surviving two divorces founded Happily Better After. 

Andrea spent 20 years climbing to the top of the corporate ladder as a marketing professional.  During her successful career, she also got married twice, and subsequently divorced twice and was faced with how to continue being successful at work while saying goodbye to the fairy tale life she had planned.  And after her second marriage, she had to somehow transition my loving relationship with three stepchildren.

Leveraging two decades of creative problem-solving skills and strategic thinking, Andrea left corporate America behind to get certified as a divorce coach. Through a commitment to flipping my idea of happily ever after into a personal mantra of living happily better after my own divorce, I bring my powerful skills forward to help women get through divorce.

Now, she helps professional women who feel stuck in their work and story of divorce to move on so they can intentionally create a happily better after … a beautiful future at work and at home.

Paulette and Tracy go amicable

Tracy Ann Moore-Grant began practicing law in 2002 and always worked in the area of family law. Over the years, she began to see a problem-attorneys were increasing the conflict in cases for reasons that could only lead to their financial gain and were not in the best interest of the client. As a mediator, she saw reasonable and well-intentioned couples who had been dragged into expensive and contentious litigation because their chosen counsel had led them to believe this was normal. This level of conflict, and the corresponding cost, is emotionally and financially devastating to a family. Tracy Ann knew it was completely unnecessary in a majority of Georgia divorce cases.

“I often had a client come to me and ask, ‘how long will this take’ and ‘how expensive will it be?’. I couldn’t properly answer because so much depended on who the other spouse would hire for their attorney.”  Tracy Ann wanted to find a way to identify attorneys who were easy to work with, known for charging a reasonable fee and had a reputation for being good advocates for their clients. It was necessary to communicate this message to the public so they could make more informed choices when hiring a divorce attorney.

In 2019, the Amicable Divorce Network™ was born. The organization started in Forsyth County, Georgia to help divorce clients, who sought a low conflict process.  The Network quickly grew to include all professionals who assist divorcing families including mental health professionals, mediators, real estate agents and mortgage brokers, insurance agents, financial professionals and more. Members are required to possess  a minimum level of education, licensure, and experience in their field. Members must also undergo training on the process and low conflict techniques, and particularly the attorneys are vetted for being resolution oriented and not overbilling clients. The organization holds monthly networking and educational events for members and membership is limited by industry and geography.

In addition to bringing together professionals, Tracy Ann also developed a legal process whereby couples go through an informed and negotiated divorce process and reach a settlement all before the divorce case is even filed with the court system. “Having our own flexible process allows us to cater the speed of the case to the family. We can accelerate it or slow it down. We can use other professionals to assist us if needed, but they are not mandatory. The professionals work together to provide a personalized process that is exactly what the family needs.”  Parties may need financial advice, insurance help, family or individual therapy, assistance with selling a home or buying a new one. The network provides parties access to all the professional guidance they need through the entire divorce process.

The Amicable Divorce Process was developed before Covid-19 was even anticipated, however, due the pandemic, the contactless and court-free divorce process became more popular in 2020 as parties seeking a divorce needed a way to complete the process with a court system that was shut down. “The Amicable Divorce Process can be completed from your home. You can meet with your attorney, attend mediation, and meet with any other professionals via Zoom if you choose. Once we finalize your case, we present all documents to the court at the same time leaving no reason for anyone to appear in court in person.”

Tracy Ann’s work in developing The Amicable Divorce Network ™ was recognized in 2020 when she was awarded a Georgia Legal Award for Distinguished Leadership for developing the network. She practices as an attorney, mediator and Guardian ad Litem at the firm of Patterson Moore Butler in Cumming, Georgia and can be reached at [email protected].

MEET Laila Aitken Ali, also known as The Split Coach.

She is a divorce doula to many, and I support people reset, reclaim and rebirth before, during and after divorce.

I am a fellow divorcée and the co-founder of Split.fyi. Split.fyi is a virtual kindred community for people to turn to when they find themselves facing a very difficult time in their lives. Split.fyi is the new place to start a new chapter.

I speak from experience. After my husband asked for a divorce while expecting our first child, I felt ashamed and blamed myself. I felt like I didn’t belong. It took strength and courage to look past my beliefs around marriage and for me to start believing in myself again. It was through that pain that realized who I was. I was greater than the situation in my life and that I was more important than the stigmas around divorce.

After spending a decade, trapped inside the family law system, I emerged with my masters in divorce!  Trust me, there were times when I thought the experience would break me, but I came out stronger than ever and with a newfound purpose to help others who are going through the same thing.
