Guiding women through midlife, divorce, and life’s transitions with…

Menopause!!! Divorce!!! I simply could not have gotten through that mess without Betsy.  I initiated the divorce at the hight of my perimenopause (47).  It was hard to navigate the divorce with all my symptoms.  The divorce was overwhelming enough then add the mood swings, sleep deprivation, and just being uncomfortable in my changing body.  What a relief when a friend recommended Betsy.  Betsy had been there and done that and knew exactly what I was going through.  We started each appointment with yoga.  She is so wise.  I will never forget that.  It helped me get grounded, relaxed, it calmed down my symptoms, and I was actually able to focus.  Betsy was at my side each step of my divorce.  Together we came up with a 90 day action plan that we updated every three months until my divorce was finalized.  Because of Betsy I went from overwhelm to empowered, from discouraged and confused to confident, and from lost and scared to stepping into my new chapter with hope joy, and financial security!

My ex and I wanted to keep our divorce simple and amicable, but we both had a lot of emotions around it and it was so overwhelming. Betsy helped us separate the business of our divorce from the emotional roller coaster and upheaval of our divorce. She helped us get and stay organized and encouraged us to be our best selves in our divorce process. Betsy was instrumental in helping us achieving our goal of a friendly and respectful divorce.

My divorce was dragging on and on.  We were fighting over the toaster!  He was refusing to follow Court Orders and even said to me he was going to make me pay.  I was getting nowhere and losing everything I had worked so hard for.  With Betsy’s help and guidance I was able to find and hire the perfect family law attorney.  She also helped my find an excellent tax person and a good therapist. With Betsy by my side, I am not only getting my divorce done, but I am now rebuilding my life on my terms.

Without Betsy I do not think I would have ever made it through my extremely contentious / high conflict separation from my partner. We were never married but even still, the whole thing was triggering and traumatizing. With Betsy’s wisdom and knowledge, calm presence, and excellent listening (she asked just the right questions) she has helped identify triggers and how to work with them.  Now I respond instead of reacting to my ex.  We share a child and Betsy is my guiding light in co-parenting.  With Betsy at my side, I have made big positive changes in my life and in my relationships with my ex and with my child.

I hired a family law attorney but my divorce wasn’t going anywhere.  We were not a good team.  I was spending money with no results.  With Betsy’s background as a family law paralegal she understood exactly the issues and what could help. I wanted to stay with my attorney and with Betsy’s help I have transformed my client/attorney relationship into a highly effective and financially efficient power-team. My divorce is finally moving forward and I am pleased with the path my attorney and I are on. I am actually spending less money and getting more accomplished.
