  • The Breakthrough: Back to the Light Post-Divorce with Lee Knaz

    Join us for a rich conversation with Self-Leadership Mentor, Coach, and stellar human, Lee Knaz. He is a dear friend, a member of the Lovolution Movement community, and an advocate for self-love as the foundation for connecting more deeply with other people. Lee has such alignment with our values, and he invited our host and Co-founder Rachel to join him in creating a container for folks going through divorce a few months back. Since then, Lee and Rachel have hosted a number of open calls to support folks in finding their way back to love on this most difficult of journeys. Having both been through our respective divorces, we are passionate about leveraging difficult breakups as an opportunity to expand, grow, and step into who we truly are.

    We are passionate about shifting the societal view that a breakup is a bad thing. Let's shine the light instead on the courage it takes to leave a relationship that is familiar, to accept that sometimes relationships come to a natural end, and shift from shame to love, confidence, and openness to the gift of an aligned life.


    The Breakthrough is a series of open calls we are hosting for anyone who's gone or is going through a challenging breakup. No one needs to go through this alone, and we are building a community of support, care, and growth to help folks come back to love with others who have been there.
