“Get over your divorce before your divorce is over.” So says divorce coach Nikki Bruno in one of the programs she offers, guiding participants through the divorce process with a coach’s attention. And as a coach, she is dedicated to the internal work, the processing required to move through the grief of conflict, anxiety, fear, depression, and grief that comes alongside the legal separation.

We’re continuing a series of dips back into the archives as we continue our hiatus getting ready for season five! This week on the show, we’re jumping back to season 2 to revisit our conversation with Nikki Bruno. Nikki walks us through the work of a coach and how the divorce coach can work alongside the legal process of the divorce itself.
