SUMMARY:Do you need a Divorce Coach?
DESCRIPTION:Divorce requires clear thinking at a time when emotions are high and decisions feel relentless. A divorce coach helps you slow the chaos\, clarify your goals\, and approach the process with strategy instead of reactivity. In this workshop\, you’ll learn how divorce coaching bridges the gap between legal\, financial\, and emotional support; how it can help you prepare\, communicate effectively\, and make grounded decisions; and why having the right support can change not just your divorce outcome\, but your future. \nWhether you’re contemplating divorce\, newly separated\, or deep in a high-conflict process\, this workshop will give you practical insight\, clarity\, and a sense of steadiness – so you can move forward with confidence rather than crisis. \nBecome informed. Become empowered. \nAbout the Presenter \nRebecca Masri is a divorce coach and founder of Navigating Divorce\, LLC in Arlington\, Virginia. After 30 years as a divorce attorney\, she now helps clients approach divorce with clarity\, strategy\, and emotional steadiness.

Rebecca earned her J.D. from the University of Richmond School of Law and her B.A. from William & Mary.
