Meet Your Guide

If you’re feeling anxious about dividing assets, understanding your options, or making expensive mistakes in divorce, you’ve found your guide—me!

Let me introduce myself: As a CDC Certified Divorce Coach®, a trained financial coach, and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® who’s been divorced myself, I help you take smart, confident steps early in your divorce—before you feel rushed or pressured 😡 into financial decisions you may regret.

Together, we’ll look at all the marital money and what matters most to you. Then we’ll make a plan that considers your finances, your children, and your peace of mind. 🧘

You might still need an attorney—but first you need a clear map 🗺️ of the divorce process and a guide who’s been there. I invite you to take the financially savvy path through divorce—step by step, with information, clarity and confidence.

“Since 2019, Shelly has been transforming lives — first as an investment-savvy, tax-smart financial coach, then as a divorce coach and financial strategist — after surviving and thriving in her own divorce.”

🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️ This is a journey worth taking. A divorce can be one of the biggest financial events of your life. It is ALSO a massive OPPORTUNITY to get your financial life in order and curate a financially sustainable future that thrills you.

I know divorce was never the plan. But with the right support, it can be your turning point. 🌄
