Hey there, divorcée,

While I may not have the answers you desperately want, I have been where you’re at right now. I know how overwhelming everything feels right now. I know that you feel so alone and don’t know what to do.

Don’t worry, I got you.

When I was going through my separation and divorce, all I wanted to do was make the world stop moving so I could take a breath and try to believe that everything was going to be OK. (ugh!) That’s why I created this kit; to help you pause for a minute, remember that you are loved, and that you come first.

Included inside is an invitation to join the Dispatched Divorcée community—a membership in the most exclusive club none of us meant to join. Filled with support, resources, and programs to help you move from the hot mess of your divorce to figuring it out and finally arriving in the place that all seasoned divorcées talk about … when it’s finally better.

When you unbox your welcome kit, I hope it feels like you just received a hug from a friend—a friend who has been there and knows that you will get through it, too.

XO, Laura
