After over 25 years with her partner, Kimberly’s world was completely upended by a divorce she never saw coming.

She describes that season as "temporary insanity," and honestly...

Who hasn't felt that way when life pulls the rug out from under you?

But instead of letting that be the end of her story, she used that rock bottom as a launchpad.

Kimberly took her 20 years of experience as a therapist and her own lived heartbreak to become a certified divorce coach. She founded Blossom Coaching because she realized there was a massive gap in support for women who feel untethered and lost in the middle of a life transition.

We talk about the "red flags" we often paint green just to keep the peace, the struggle of losing your identity when a long-term marriage ends, and the incredible gift of finding your own voice again.

She’s living proof that your life is not over just because a chapter ended. In fact, she’s happier now at 55 than she’s ever been, and she’s helping other women realize that they can be "better than okay" too.

If you’ve been feeling lonely, stuck, or like you’re just "chugging along" in a life that doesn't feel true to you, Kimberly’s wisdom is the hug and the nudge you’ve been looking for.

We dive into:

• Navigating the "temporary insanity" of major life changes
• Why we ignore our intuition and how to start trusting it again
• Rebuilding an identity that belongs entirely to you
• The power of finding a community that actually gets it

This episode is such a reminder that even the hardest endings are just making space for a brand new, more authentic beginning.
