How a Career Coach Can Help the Newly Divorced Woman

How Can a Career Coach Help the Newly Divorced Woman?

Approximately 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce, although statistics vary; over the past few years, it appears these numbers are waning. Even in the most amicable divorces, a marriage ending has many ramifications, including grief. It could be expensive, leaving both parties burdened financially. In addition, divorce settlements and alimony might not cover living expenses. With all this and much more to consider, a divorced woman who worked from home must reenter the workforce, which has changed over the past few years with AI, ATS resume tracking, and advanced technology. A career coach can help navigate the road ahead, empowering the newly divorced woman to ignite her passion and live her best life.

I’ve made the pivots, changed careers, dealt with loss and trauma, and can help you achieve results with empathy, kindness, and understanding, empowering you to take control of your own path. I’ve worked with women exactly like you, and the following is just a sampling of how a career coach can help the newly divorced woman.
