Hello! My name is Judy
Smith. I am a trained Life Coach.
I became divorced ‘later in life’ - I was well into my 50’s –
and had been married to the same man for 37 years. Even though it
was my decision to end the marriage, my experience in the divorce
process was a very painful one. I knew I had to move on and
create a new life, but I had no idea how to do it.
My friends were extremely supportive, but they could hardly be
dispassionate about the advice they gave me. They were indeed my
source of strength, but I realized that I also needed another kind
of sounding board - one that could be objective. I didn’t know
where to find one like that.
I read self-help books and books about divorce; consulted my
lawyer; worked with a mental health professional – all contributed
to my ability to retain my sanity. What I also wanted, though,
was someone to help me make the ‘right moves’. I was so uncertain
about what to do. I woke up every morning in a state of anxiety.
Fast forward four years. I worked hard at moving on during the
years immediately following the divorce. I made lots of mistakes,
but kept pushing forward anyhow. I learned a lot in the process.
As a result, I can now look in the mirror and comfortably tell the
person I see there, “You sure have grown; you made it!”
I have become a confident, successful woman who looks forward to
every day. (My friends tell me I even look better!) I am so
passionate about the advantages of taking charge of your life
after divorce that I decided to focus my coaching practice on
helping people do that.
I have designed my own
Divorce Coaching Clubs to offer guidance and support to women like
me who became divorced later in life. The video below tells more
about the clubs.
