Bridgette Jackson - Founder, Equal Exes

As an entrepreneur, Bridgette is driven and determined to change the stigma in New Zealand about divorce and separation, and has founded Equal Exes to support couples and their families through divorce coaching. Bridgette draws on her personal experience of being in a verbally abusive, controlling and manipulative marriage, before leaving the marriage but completely unprepared for what lay ahead. She is teaching the things that she learnt to be able to seperate with dignity. Covid has shone a light on the cracks and truth of relationships with now 30% higher divorce rates, Bridgette recognised that people needed the support now more than ever.
