I call 2023 the radical clearing. My fiancé and I were planning a year long trip around the world, followed by a wedding and starting a family. In preparing to go, I started to close down my life in Colorado. We were leaving the country and didn’t know when or if we would be back permanently.

My story starts as a starry eyed newlywed who hit the jackpot with the love of my life. We got married and things were really good and happy until they weren’t. We struggled for years before moving forward with divorce. I was totally heartbroken. I did everything I knew how to do to heal, get back into my body, stabilize and then try to move forward with a life that was totally different than what I had envisioned.

Mattie started as a client and soon became a friend. I adore her passion and dedication for growth & healing, it is rare you meet someone with such resilience.
Her story is admirable but what she allowed her pain to transform into is AWE-inspiring.

“I got divorced in 2018 and I was right before I turned 30, so I was pretty young to be getting divorced. I was also one of the first in my family and friend group. I felt like I had the support I needed in therapy to help me process what had happened, but there wasn’t direction for how to actually live my life as a newly divorced person.”

"When I mention my work in divorce, it often feels like it sucks the air out of the room. My hope is to share a conversation that touches on divorce in a way that is honest and hopeful and helps others feel like they can share the messy parts of life after divorce and not be rejected or shamed."
