Get Divorce Ready
Getting Divorce Ready is the cornerstone of a successful divorce. Creating a plan before you act if you can is smart. That isn’t always possible if your physical, emotional, or financial safety dictates that you need to go now. The section in the book on domestic abuse (contributed by Nina Farr, an expert on domestic abuse) will support you if you need that advice.
If you are safe and have time, understanding the divorce process and working on your divorce plan before you leave will stand you in good stead. It will save you a huge amount of time, money, and emotional strain in the long run.
Your Divorce Companion
Most divorces take many months – some take a few years. I recommend that you read ‘How To Be A Lady Who Leaves’ from cover to cover first. Then go back and read the sections that resonate with you particularly as you need them. Do you need to understand the process? Perhaps your children are struggling right now? Perhaps it’s you who needs some support working with your emotions. The book covers all this, and more.
‘How To Be A Lady Who Leaves’ is designed to be thoroughly used, not left on the shelf. Break the spine if you need to, get your highlighter out and pens, bend the pages, make notes, use bookmarks… whatever you need – just use it!
A gift you can share
One of the loveliest things I hear from ladies who’ve read my book is that they’ve gifted it on to someone else who needs it. That makes my heart truly sing because it means ‘How To Be A Lady Who Leaves’ is doing what it was designed to do – helping as many women as possible navigate their divorce. So, if you’ve read the book and you no longer need it, who can you share it with?
A gift shared with you?
Perhaps ‘How To Be A Lady Who Leaves’ was a gift shared with you? Perhaps a friend or friend of a friend read the book and now it’s in your possession. Use it. Get as much from it as you can. You can still download the book resources even if you didn’t actually purchase a copy yourself. Follow the link in the book to download audio files and workbooks.
Move forward whether you stay or go
Above all, ‘How To Be A Lady Who Leaves’ is a book to move you forward. If doubt, fear, and uncertainty are holding you back, this book will help you. It starts with a whole section on helping you decide whether or not divorce is the right option for you right now.
If you decide to stay and work at your relationship, brilliant! You’re ready to stop feeling stuck in an unfulfilling marriage, and start working on making it a fulfilling one again.
If you decide to leave, the book will guide you in communicating your decision. It will also help you begin the process in a way that supports you and your family. Divorce is always going to bring up difficult emotions and decisions. But there are wise moves you can make to ensure it is as smooth, collaborative and peaceful a process as possible – for all concerned, including your ex and any children.
How do I get a copy?
If you haven’t got a copy already, getting your hands on one is easy. You can get it through Amazon both in Kindle and hard copy format. The book is now in its 2nd edition (but there’s little difference between them, mainly the updated title).
A hard copy on Amazon may take a few weeks to come as they are printed on-demand, so check delivery times. If you’d like a copy quicker, you can buy a copy here through me – I post daily via 1st class post with a little gift to say thank you.
