Navigating the divorce process can be daunting. None of us ever expects that we'll have to go through it, so when we are faced with the prospect of divorce, many of us feel lost and unsure of where to begin.
In this mini-course, I will guide you through the broad strokes of what you need to know in order to confidently move forward - from the range of options you have to choose from in navigating the process to the resources I wished I'd known about when I was going through it.
Your Instructor
Kim West (JD, MBA) is a writer, speaker, consultant, Certified Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS), and the founder of Navigating the Knot, LLC - a resource providing clients nationwide with clarity & guidance on *either end* of marriage, from what they should know before tying the knot to support surrounding the divorce process.
While going through a painful divorce in her 20s, despite coming from a legal background, Kim found herself blindsided by the process. She discovered firsthand how little we are taught about marriage and its legal implications upfront and additionally felt there was insufficient support for those navigating divorce. After years of working in both legal and business roles for companies like Fitbit and Zayo Group, Kim took the leap in 2017 and founded her company, Navigating the Knot, with the mission of educating & empowering others with respect to marriage and divorce.
Kim offers one-on-one coaching and consulting services nationwide in addition to providing online courses and content. When she isn't assisting clients, Kim enjoys rock climbing, running, hiking, and snowboarding. She loves to travel, practice French, and spend time with her family & friends.
