Episode 177 - The Benefits Of Working With A Divorce Coach

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Kelli Sedwick-Drummond, a certified divorce and life coach, about what divorce coaching really is and how it can make a difference. Kelli opens up about her own experiences with a tough divorce and how it led her to start KJSD Coaching so she could support others who are facing similar challenges.

Mardi and Kelli talk about why having a divorce coach matters, especially when you're working through all the emotions that come with such a big life change. They talk about how coaching is different from what a lawyer or therapist might offer—divorce coaching is all about focusing on your feelings, practical problems, and looking ahead to what's next, not just revisiting the past.

The conversation also gets real about the fears people have around divorce, whether that’s worrying about money, losing a home, or being judged by others. Kelli and Mardi both acknowledge that it’s easy to feel stuck or alone, but there are always options and resources, especially if you have the right support. They stress the importance of being kind to yourself through the process, reaching out for help, and remembering you’re not alone.

If you’re curious about divorce coaching or just need some reassurance during a tough time, this episode is full of honest and encouraging advice.
