The word alone carries tremendous negativity, judgment and fear and divorce is commonly portrayed in the media as hostile and high-conflict. Amicable or civil divorces aren’t considered news unless there’s a novelty factor associated with them like Gynweth Paltrow’s “conscious uncoupling.”

Often, our own beliefs and expectations around divorce pushes us to stay in unhealthy relationships and we procrastinate or delay ending our marriage.

What if there was another way?

What if there was a way you could break up without hostility?

What if you could get divorced without spending a ton on legal fees and without it consuming all your emotional energy?

Well, it’s possible and there are loads of resources readily available to help you do that. It starts by setting the intention to have a good divorce.
