  • Do you want some help in making this as easy as possible for your kids?
  • Do you want to get your best self back? Laugh again? Feel joy and peace?  Have a life again?

We’re here to give you the support you need during and after your midlife divorce!

I’m glad you found us. Coping with a divorce at this time in your life sucks. It’s different than divorce at other times. (Kids leaving home, menopause looming, parents needing more care.) It’s unbelievably painful and no one seems to really understand what you’re going through (unless they’ve been there). That’s why we’re here. Hundreds of R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Women (Women - Rising Above Divorce In Confidence And Love) have found what they need here, and you can too.

Our sole purpose At Midlife Divorce Recovery is to help you get through this unexpected life challenge and to create a life that’s awesome.  We’ve developed three specific programs to help you grieve and heal and then grab life again with a new sense of excitement and energy and fun.

MDR COMMUNITY = Connection to other women + online recovery resources and tools

the MDRcommunity is an online support group of women who are experiencing midlife divorce and who connect and share their victories, challenges, encouragement and strategies to move forward. Women in the community have spent those nights crying until no tears are left. Some may have done out-of-character things that could have landed them in jail. There is the occasional ranting and raving. But it’s a safe and secure place full of women who “get it” and a place where you can begin your journey back to joy.

The MDRcommunity is also full of recovery resources that come from real life. Resources that help you survive, get strong, get organized, accept reality and more.  After ten years of working with women going through divorce, (some who didn’t think they could go on), we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t.  We know what will help you move forward to the good life and what makes you stay stuck in that pit of pain and “poor me.”

If you want to learn more about MDRcommunity Click here and get in touch with midlife women from all over the country who know about the sleepless nights, and the sobbing in the car and feeling like you don’t fit in,  and, of course trying to figure out how to share children (and maybe grandchildren) with the girlfiend.  (That is not a misspelling!)  But they are also women who are using the tools and resources found on the Community to say to themselves, “I refuse to let someone else ruin my life!  I am going to create the absolutely best life I can and I’m going to do whatever it takes to do that!”

R.A.D.I.C.A.L. MasterPlan = You receive the Radical Recovery Book and a Radical Binder plus PowerPages, Newsletter, and a CD sent to your home every month + connection to other women + online tools and resources. (Recovery on steroids!)

R.A.D.I.C.A.L. MasterPlan is a year-long program designed to take you from pain to power one step at a time.  If you learn best by having physical books and binders and CDs, that’s what you will receive with the R.A.D.I.C.A.L. MasterPlan.  You will also be given access to the MDRcommunity when you sign up for the MasterPlan.  It’s the best plan because you receive physical materials in the mail every month to keep you moving forward, and you have access to the community and all the community resources as well.

Each month we focus on a single step of the recovery process.  This program is my personal favorite, because you can keep the book and binder by the bed and can thumb through a Newsletter or a volume of the PowerPages if you need inspiration or want to read through something again.  You can keep the CDs in the car and listen to great information from experts while you’re running errands. This plan is the best and fastest way to get better.
