What story do you want to tell

in this era of your life?

What you need right now

Support of a community

Divorce support group for women — whether you’re separated, in the thick of it, or freshly signed. Connect with others who get it and walk with you through what’s next.

Gifts for your divorced friend

Because sometimes the best thing you can do is remind her she’s not alone — and get her to laugh again. Like a hug in a box when you can’t be there.

Retreats for women

For when you want to travel solo, but not be alone. Retreats & trips based in Switzerland, Europe, and Japan. Step away, reflect, and connect with who you are now — alongside women who’ve been where you are.

No one should go through life after divorce alone.

Our international origin story

Bonjour, gruezi, salve, konichiwa, hallo, ciao!

Hi, I’m Laura—your favorite international dispatched divorcée and the founder of this global divorce support group for women.

I created Dispatched Divorcée because I couldn’t find what I needed when I was going through my own divorce. I was the first of my friends to split. There were no guidebooks, no safe communities, and definitely no cheeky merch to say, “You’re not broken—you’re just in-between.”

After my divorce, I moved from the U.S. to Europe to Japan and back to Europe again—searching for something I couldn’t quite name. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t just rebuilding a life, I was rediscovering myself.

So I built what I needed:

  • A place for women who are separated, divorced, or figuring things out.
  • A global community where you can feel seen, supported, and understood.
  • A space for connection, retreats, real talk, thoughtful gifts—and a little fun.
  • A reminder that you don’t have to go back to what was. You get to imagine what’s next.

Maybe you’ve been looking for something like this too?

I have a feeling you’re in the right place.

Welcome, friend. We’re about to have a lot of fun.
