A Letter from Olivia –
I know, I know, we said we’ll be in your inbox twice a month…but, the thing is: divorce happens. And it happens. And happens, every day. So, we wanted to make sure you had the support you needed. So, yes twice a month, we’ll be in your inbox with a giant email of info, freebies, podcasts, and tips. And, the other two weeks a month? (like today) We’re just stopping by to say we’re damn proud of you. We’re here if you need anything. And, you’re not alone.
Scroll down for just a few quick thingamabobs (okay, apparently this is a real word, thank you Ariel), and please, please reply to this email and tell us how we can help support you RIGHT NOW.
Do you need to talk to Olivia? (hi!) Do you need a divorce coach? A financial planner? A free resource? Someone to just listen? We have all of that, and more! So, hit reply and let us know!!
We’ve got your back. Always.
