Find the Silver Lining
It’s natural for a person to fear the unknown. The unknown is uncomfortable, and it may require you to change. It’s a subconscious response intended to keep us safe. But that fear response can actually harm us and keep us from taking the action we need to take to help us grow and thrive. It is critical to address your fear and shift your mindset quickly so that you can be decisive and move forward safely.
If you want to survive, you react. If you want to thrive, you plan and prepare.
When a person plans and prepares for a brighter future, she is more able to adapt when crisis and transition happens. That is why we are so focused on helping women plan and prepare for divorce.
Planning your divorce will help the recovery and transition go more smoothly.
Part of having a growth mindset is understanding that service to others is the key to thriving. Humans are social creatures and connecting with others is vital to our survival as individuals as well as a species. So, when I sat down to think about what services we could be offering to help others, it required a shift in my thinking. It was challenging to not think of myself and to resist tapping into my more negative feelings.
But like a mother whose instincts kick in to protect her children, I began to think about how I can protect our team and our clients. The team and I began brainstorming services we could offer (mediation, parenting facilitation and coordination, flat fee uncontested divorces) but something still didn’t feel “right.” While we certainly offer those services, that’s not where our strength lies. Our value lies in helping women plan and prepare for divorce so that they can create brighter futures for themselves and their families.
Divorce and custody changes are often construed negatively by society. However, they provide an unprecedented opportunity for you to plan and prepare for a brighter future.
That statement may seem controversial to some, but for those who hunger for change, for those who are trapped in a cage, looking for a way out, focusing on the silver lining is exactly what they need right now. If more women discover what we offer — a path through the darkness — then more women will be free to live their best lives, and the world will be a better place.
Very truly yours,
Alex
