Your Roadmap to Clarity Package

A 3-month container for getting financially clear, organized, and ready for what’s next.

You may have chosen this journey of separation and divorce, or been asked to embark upon it. Either way, you’re seeking clarity and direction on where you are now and where you want to go.

I’m the financially focused divorce coach who can help you get organized and make a plan that is centered on your finances — and stick to it.

“Before I heard about Coach Shelly I felt at a loss, anxious, depressed on how to look at my future. I am now feeling hopeful, and determined that working with her will help me to resolve my money concerns, and go through my divorce prepared.”
— D.V., on her Mapping intake questionnaire

Whether you’re at the beginning of your divorce process or further along, nearly all of my clients start here — enjoying 7 hours of one-on-one financial divorce coaching with me via Zoom or in person. Compress into 3 weeks or stretch across 3 months — whatever fits your timeline.

This introductory package includes a full three months of membership in my private community, ⤴️Upward Club, with weekly group coaching calls and a monthly training for those moving onward and upward through divorce.

This is a 3-month container, powered by my Finances FIRST Framework, in which to build the clarity, confidence and financial foundation you need for the road ahead, along with strategic support for your journey.

“I really appreciate our sessions and it’s so nice to experience support in a positive way—I hadn’t realized how much I had NOT been receiving support!”
— C.J., Mapping Your Journey client

What you’ll achieve:

  • Address the burning questions 🔥🔥🔥 that are keeping you up at night.

  • Understand your assets and debts: “You’ve got to know what’s there to know what’s fair.”

  • Get answers and advice on the complexities of your financial big picture. Examples:

    • How to separate financially into two households — both before and after divorce.

    • How to divide equity in a home or business.

    • Whether it’s possible for one spouse to remain in the home.

    • How to account for inheritance or gifts to one spouse.

    • How to deal with pre-marital retirement accounts.

    • How to think about spousal support when there is a big income differential or earning potential between spouses.

  • Prepare for hiring or meeting with your attorney or mediator, lining up strategic questions and making the most of the time you have together. This saves you money on legal costs.

  • Speaking of costs… we build a divorce “budget” that aligns with your resources and what’s actually at stake.

  • Reduce overwhelm by getting clear on your next best steps, and have someone holding you accountable for actually taking them.

“That was such a supportive & informative meeting this morning! I will be reaching out to make appointments with each of these three lawyers. Thanks so much for the referrals.”
