How a Divorce Coach Helps You Build Your Village with Kristina St. Cyr

Divorce can make even the most capable, high-achieving woman feel like she’s suddenly failing at the one thing she was supposed to get “right.” In this episode of Divorce Happens, host Olivia Howell sits down with certified divorce coach Kristina St. Cyr to talk honestly about divorce grief, isolation, and what it really takes to build a support system when your life is coming apart. Together, they unpack why divorce feels so lonely, how shame keeps so many people quiet, and why creating a divorce “village” can change everything for your divorce recovery journey.Kristina works virtually with professional women who are juggling demanding careers, parenting, and the emotional toll of separation and divorce. She explains what a divorce coach actually does and how she supports clients through the “business side of divorce” and the emotional storm at the same time. From organizing financial paperwork and preparing for meetings with your lawyer, to co-parenting communication tips and planning for your post-divorce future, Kristina shares the four pillars of her work: getting organized, managing emotions, communicating effectively, and focusing on the life you’re building after divorce. She also talks about her new women’s divorce support group, designed to be a village where you don’t have to explain yourself—you can just show up and be understood.Throughout the conversation, Kristina returns to one mantra: progress over perfection. Listeners will hear practical mindset shifts for navigating divorce—like giving yourself credit for tiny steps, understanding that you can repair and course-correct, and remembering that divorce is just one (huge) chapter in a much bigger life. If you’re craving community, curious about whether working with a divorce coach could help you, or simply desperate to feel less alone in this process, this episode offers both clarity and hope, with tangible takeaways you can use right away as you start over after divorce.Learn more about Kristina on Fresh Starts: https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/resourceguide/kristina-st-cyr-coachingCheck out Your Divorce Village: https://www.kristinastcyrcoaching.com/your-divorce-village🔗 Check out Fresh Starts Registry:The first & only divorce registry + support platform ➡ https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshstartsregistry/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FreshStartsRegistry🎙 Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/divorcehappenspod/📬 Magazine: https://divorceguidemagazine.com/
