I see you standing at the edge of tomorrow, fear wrapping around your heart like a cold fog. The future feels more like a shadow than a sunrise, leaving you lonely and uncertain about what comes next.
"Strength is what we gain from the madness we survive."
-Mary Ann Weir
I see the emotional storm that rages within – anxiety that grips you one moment, waves of sadness that wash over you the next. Your emotions swing like a pendulum, making each day unpredictable.
I see how you look away from mirrors now, how being "single" feels like an ill-fitting label. The thought of dating again sits heavy in your stomach, a mix of fear and uncertainty that makes you want to hide.
I see you staring at bank statements and bills, your heart racing at numbers that never seemed threatening before. The weight of financial responsibility feels foreign and overwhelming on your shoulders.
I see how everything seems to come at you all at once – legal papers, decisions, emotions, changes – all while you're trying to process the simple fact that your marriage is ending. The overwhelm is constant and crushing.
I see you lying awake at night, that question echoing in your mind: "How will I survive this?" The path ahead seems impossibly long and dark, and some days even breathing feels like a challenge.
I see you, because I've walked this path too. You are not alone in this moment, even when the silence feels deafening.
The pain you're feeling right now is a chapter in your story, Not Your Ending.
I remember standing exactly where you are now. In 2010, I found myself staring into the mirror after 21 years of marriage, wondering who I'd become after letting someone else define my worth. That lost woman in the reflection? She found her way back to herself – and beyond – and I can show you how to do the same.
Hi, I am Nanette.
I am a divorce and reinvention coach and I help women heal from narcissistic relationships and reclaim their power so they can step boldly into a new life.
As a certified Divorce, Health, and Life Re-Invention Coach, author, and founder of Live Life Now LLC, I bring a unique blend of personal insight and professional expertise to my coaching practice. I firmly believe that self-care is paramount during the emotional upheaval of divorce. I am dedicated to helping women recognize their inherent worth, embrace their resilience, and step confidently into the next chapter of their lives.
Here is My Story…
On the challenging path of divorce after decades of marriage, I traversed this journey without the guidance of a divorce coach.
The revelation of infidelity in my marriage in the year 2010 following our 21st wedding anniversary was a profound and life-altering moment. It struck me like a blow to the core, leaving me breathless and struggling to maintain focus amid overwhelming emotions. The weight of betrayal created a constant sense of unease that permeated every aspect of my being, making the already challenging task of parenting nearly insurmountable. Despite my efforts to shield my 3 children from the turmoil, the tension was palpable, affecting our family dynamics.
For a period of two years, I endeavored to mend the fractures in my marriage, only to find myself shouldering the burden of reconciliation alone. The decision to part ways and leave our shared home became a pivotal step towards acknowledging and accepting the necessary course of action. Relying solely on legal counsel during this tumultuous period proved to be both financially burdensome and protracted, revealing the gaps in my knowledge and understanding of the divorce process.
I hired an attorney and let her lead me. My emotional support was neglected. I did have a friend going through the same thing around the same time - but that was the blind leading the blind.
Upon redirecting my focus towards self-care, community involvement, and cultivating a mindset of gratitude and positivity, a transformative healing journey began. Stepping out of my comfort zone, engaging in volunteer work, and embracing new experiences and adventures were instrumental in fostering personal growth and resilience. Through the pursuit of certifications and the establishment of a coaching business, I witnessed a profound evolution in my confidence and courage.
I understand the devastation and heartbreak that can accompany such a life-altering decision. This experience ignited my passion for helping women navigate the complexities of divorce, guiding them through the process, and empowering them to create a beautiful life post-divorce.
I never knew I had other options for support when I divorced.
Today, the future holds a sense of excitement and possibility where once there was fear and uncertainty. The act of penning my narrative in 'Shattered Dreams & New Beginnings' served as a poignant reflection on my journey thus far, illuminating the remarkable progress I have made. This experience has not been defined by sorrow, but rather by a deep sense of gratitude for the resilience and growth that have characterized my path forward.
Through coaching, mentoring, and sharing my experiences, I aim to inspire women to realize that their lives are far from over after divorce – in fact, it is a chance for a fresh start and a journey towards self-empowerment. Together, let us navigate the challenges, embrace the possibilities, and embark on a journey of healing, growth, and newfound purpose. The future no longer holds fear for me; it now sparks excitement, and I am here to help you find that same exhilaration in your journey.
I knew I wanted to make a difference in people's lives and change the way they approach divorce.
Some fun facts about me…
I am a wedding officiant. The first wedding I officiated was for my Godson and his bride. This was a great honor and a beautiful experience I have cherished.
My heart belongs not to the kitchen, but to the endless adventure of discovering new flavors. As a passionate foodie, I find pure delight in sampling cuisines from every corner of the world—though I draw the line at anything that's still wiggling on my plate!
Plot twist in my love story! After swearing off marriage with the conviction of someone who'd never eat chocolate again, Cupid had other plans. In 2019, I proved myself delightfully wrong and walked down the aisle once more. That journey transformed me in ways I never expected. Now we're writing our own unique chapter—while our weekday addresses may differ, our weekends are a beautiful reunion, and our passports stay busy as we collect adventures together to Europe and far off places. Who says love stories have to follow a traditional script?
A bucket list item for me is to visit all 50 states. I currently have 38 states with only 12 more chapters of this adventure to go—each new state a story waiting to be discovered.
When I'm not chasing sunsets in far-off places, you'll find me getting my endorphin fix at the gym or treating myself to some well-deserved self-care moments. But my greatest adventures? Those happen right at home, creating precious memories with my three adult children, sharing laughs with friends, and soaking up quality time with family. These aren't just items on my to-do list—they're the golden threads that weave the tapestry of my joy!
Making waves of positive change isn't just a hobby—it's my heart's calling! While some superheroes wear capes, I wield a committee badge (or three!) championing the causes closest to my soul: empowering women and brightening children's futures. You'll find me behind the scenes, rolling up my sleeves alongside fellow changemakers, because nothing fills my spirit quite like philanthropy and knowing we're creating ripples of hope throughout our community!
