About me

I am a divorced single mom of a nineteen year old daughter, Kaitlin. I have been divorced for 3+ years. I am in a committed relationship with an amazing guy – Gary. I am the adoptive mom of my daughter’s dog – Tori, who is a silky terrier.

I am a life coach and I work with women who are divorced and want to regain their relationship with themselves thru the divorce healing process. My company is called Passionate About Life Coaching which is a community that supports women who are divorced who want to reclaim their relationship with themselves and become empowered through the divorce recovery process.

I am also the author of the e-book series Turning your Divorce into a Celebration of Life

    • Hello, Lis and Mellie.
      I´have been rudely dumped by my partner after 7 years together. One evening were driving to a party and he started searing at me, which he had never done before and we never spoke again. But , now after 3 months, I´m beginning to enjoy being single and as I´m too old for men in Brazil to like me, I think I´ll remain single and will try to invest in whatever talent I happen to find out I have from now on. Thank you for sending me the articles. It is always good to know we are not alone.
      Love to all,
      Patricia

    • Hi Lisa,
      Thank you for your support and the information. Things have been looking up the last few days. I have told my husband that he can enjoy his own time of self discovery without obligation to me. I think this has made him feel less pressured. I have already gone out into the world (while we lived in Belgium) and experienced the youth we did not have. I think hw just needs to do the same. Married at 21 we have grown into different people and taking the pressure off of “Working” so hard to keep the marriage together and just “being” us is helping. Am I holding on? YES! He says that he loves me and I love him. So he has agreed to wait 18 months (until he returns from korea) to make any life changing decisions. I am going to use the time to pursue my dreams. I want to write an inspirational book and I want to become a motivatinal speaker and life coach. I think then we will be able to reconnect as the adults we are now and appreciate eachother. If after 18 months he decides otherwise then we will go from there and go our separate ways in a civil way. There is so much I could say but it would most likely bore you to death. That is why I will be writing it all down at some point soon.
      I have few friends here in Nebraska and I appreciate the support. My husband has always been a quiet person and most of his friends are “online” I think this is a great way for me to connect.
      Thanks again Lisa and I will talk to you soon. I have updated my homepage and left info available to friends. Although I guess I have to go fix my photo!

    • Mellie:

      I can appreciate the challenges you are facing. When faced with the potential end of a marriage the not knowing and confusion is sometimes the hardest thing to deal with. Also, you are not alone many women suffer from lowered self-esteem during this time in their life, I know I did and many of the clients I coach feel the same. I want to congratulate you though,  first for reaching out and asking for support and direction and second for your accomplishments, obtaining high level degrees as you have is fantastic, great job.  

      Although this time right now seems daunting and a bit overwhelming it is also a great opportunity to begin to change your focus to you. Take the time to take care of you, find the support you need, make decisions based on what is right and best for you. There are lots of emotions involved when a marriage ends and I encourage you to feel all of them and work through them so you can eventually get to a place of completeness and forgiveness. One area that you might want to consider starting with is the infidelity. Have you worked through the feelings involved with that? If not this would be a great beginning point in helping shore up your self esteem.

      There are some strategies for working through the emotions that come up as well as finding ways to forgive in my free report Be the Navigator: Six Easy Steps to Getting Back into the Driver’s Seat of Life.  You can download a copy at my website ““:http://www.lisafredette.com/ There are also some articles that you might find helpful on my blog at ““:http://www.lisafredette.com/  

      I hope this information is helpful. If there is anything more I can do to help you during this challenging time please feel free to contact me.  

      Lisa

    • Hi lisa,
      I have been married sixteen years. I was married at 21 and my husband has been in the Air Force all of those years. We have both struggled with an incident of infidelity (9 years ago)and now it is rearing its head again as he has gotten orders to Korea and basically wants to be free so that he doesn’t have to feel guilty when he goes off to have a good year to himself. I am lost, dazed, and confused and have always struggled with my self esteem. In the last 9 years I got my bachelors and masters degrees but am now unemployed, unable to get adequate work to support myself and my self esteem is dropping rapidly. My kids are 9, 12, and 14 and don’t officially know anything yet. I don’t know what to do. Two of my youngest’s friend’s parents have recently divorced as well. Any suggestions are welcome.
      Thank you,
      Mellie
