Alex Beattie is a divorce preparation coach, podcast host, and founder of The Divorce Planner. Her work has been featured on The Oprah Podcast, Radio New Zealand, The New York Times, and Real Simple.

After more than twenty years as a film and television producer, Alex went through her own divorce and applied the same project management skills to her preparation. She walked into attorney and mediator consultations so organized that she kept hearing, “I wish all my clients came in this prepared!” That became The Divorce Planner, where she has helped thousands of people across the U.S. and Canada prepare for and navigate divorce through coaching, a self-guided course, and digital tools, and where she has built a community of 151,000+.

Her methodology is built around four pillars of divorce preparation: emotional, financial, administrative, and practical. Divorce has an emotional side and a business side, and Alex teaches people to handle both at the same time so they can make decisions they won’t regret. It is recommended by divorce attorneys, mediators, Certified Divorce Financial Analysts, and therapists.

Her debut book, The Divorce Planner: 8 Weeks to Get Organized, Find Clarity, and Become Your Own Best Advocate (Wiley/Jossey-Bass), comes out January 13, 2027. She hosts The Divorce Planner Podcast, and her appearance on the Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, featuring her Dear Future Self letter was the top download of the year and top 10 of all seasons.

Divorce is hard. Preparing for one doesn’t have to be.
