Welcome to

interdependency.

— Divorce is an overwhelming transition. You’re smart enough to do it alone AND know you don’t have to. Partner with an experienced coach AND be your very best. —

Coaching

Coaching is a mindset zone, a co-regulating process, and a set of skills, which result in a transformational experience for both coach and client. The coach assists the client in the process of breaking things down into manageable pieces, discovering different options, clearing away obstacles, acknowledging successes, evaluating results, and pinning down next steps. New awareness leads to new choices, which in turn result in desirable outcomes.

Concierge

Limitations of time, energy, and experience may make it necessary to ask for individualized assistance with certain tasks or practical logistics. Until you can accomplish these tasks on your own, or with other members of your team, you can coordinate with your coach to complete bespoke services on your behalf. Avoid costly divorce mistakes and transition to an independent life without regret and delays.

Cooperation

Interdependency is a mindset and a community built on interdependence. Human beings are not designed to exist and thrive alone. High conflict, isolation, and an inability to ask for help or information makes it difficult to develop a productive mindset and move beyond divorce. Forging mutually beneficial partnerships and evolving within communities is a crucial move away from dependency and isolation. In addition to helping you build a network, your coach will cultivate your skills of resourcing yourself by asking for what you need.

HERE FOR YOU

Mediation Preparation

Mediation saves time and money, but preparation is key. Gather documents, define priorities, and stay calm. A divorce coach helps you strategize, role-play conversations, and advocate effectively. Mediation isn’t about winning—it’s about securing a future that supports you and your children. Practiced preparation leads to better outcomes and smoother transitions.

Conflict Communication

Divorce communication should be clear, not combative. Stick to facts, set boundaries, and avoid emotional reactions. A divorce coach helps refine your approach, ensuring productive conversations, especially when co-parenting. Written communication may help reduce conflict. Managing discussions well creates a peaceful transition and a healthier future for you and your children.

Healthy Parenting

Divorce shifts parenting dynamics, but stability matters. Keep routines consistent, avoid negative talk about the other parent, and create a secure space for your children’s emotions. A divorce coach helps you navigate co-parenting challenges, ensuring you stay strong and supportive. Your children thrive when they feel seen, loved, and reassured.

Faith Choices / Transitions

Divorce can shake your faith. Whether you’re seeking guidance, feeling marginalized, questioning beliefs, staying in or leaving a faith community, the evolution is personal. A divorce coach helps you process these shifts while honoring your values. Surround yourself with support and trust that your spiritual journey is yours to define—without shame or judgment.

Networking / Career Building

Re-entering the workforce feels daunting, but you DO have valuable skills. Start by updating your resume, networking, and exploring new opportunities. A divorce coach helps build confidence, refine goals, and create a career path aligned with your strengths. Financial independence begins with small, strategic steps—your next chapter is about empowerment.

Betrayal / Abuse

Healing from betrayal or abuse starts with reclaiming your worth. Seek support, set boundaries, and prioritize safety. A divorce coach helps you process emotions, create an exit plan, and regain confidence. Leaving abuse is courage, not failure. You deserve respect, autonomy, and a future free from fear and manipulation.

DIVORCE CO-OP FOUNDER

About Ave Love

In 2021, I started the Women’s Divorce Co-Op, a social and support group, as part of a graduate seminar practicum. Since that time, I have been actively involved in the divorce community and mentoring women struggling with emotional and financial dependence. I completed the UDR Basic Mediation course in September 2024 and the CDC Certified Divorce Coaching intensive in December 2024. I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1998 with a degree in comparative literature. I have worked professionally as a writer and communicator.

I divorced after being a dedicated wife and homemaker for 20 years. It was a body jolt to suddenly be apart from my six children half of the time, trying to heal, pondering providing for myself, and developing networking skills. When I lost my marriage, I simultaneously lost my family and faith communities where I previously turned for identity and belonging. It was tempting to shut down in shame and vulnerability and disappear myself. Out of sheer survival, I had to become an expert in a cooperative approach. My desire to connect with other individuals and participate in personal and professional communities is how I am thriving.
