Reinventing Yourself After a Breakup or Divorce!

Suffering from Breakup or Divorce? Ready to Recover? And Then Reinvent Yourself?

Welcome! Thank you for visiting us here. We really want to help. We have been through it – and reinvented our worthiness, our relationships, our businesses and our lives. So have a few thousand we call Extraordinary Selves who have gone through our programs. 

Toxic relationships, breakups and divorce are not fun. We, Donna and Dr. Diane (Your Extraordinary Self Breakup Coaches) have been there. Wrenching apart hurts. It’s disorienting and heartbreaking to pull away from the lives we have known.

Perhaps you’re suffering sleepless nights and exhausting days. Or are sleeping too much and feeling depressed and depleted. Your mind and body may be wrestling with feelings of anger, anxiety, jealousy, revenge, shame, worthlessness, and/or emptiness. Or perhaps you’re feeling some relief and freedom – even if it’s tinged with sadness and distress over losing what might have been.

If you choose to work with us, you will first learn to heal the emotional suffering from your breakup or divorce. How? Research proves that “Suffering is Optional”. We will teach you how to minimize that suffering step-by-step. You will end up feeling worthy, resilient. confident and powerful. 

Then, you will move on to your personal Reinvention Journey! Research shows  that if you want different results in your life, you must make inner changes. You will learn to shift the inner limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that have led to your suffering in the first place. You will understand why you got into a dysfunctional relationship – and how to avoid one in the future. You will learn to set boundaries and respond in calm measured ways when triggered into stress reactions or negativity. 

And you will discover or strengthen your authentic mission and purpose, personally and professionally.  From there, you will learn and apply the skills we teach to reach success after success in life, relationships and business/career.

We offer our online programs in private, group and self-study form for any pocketbook.

We invite you on a year-long journey of self-discovery, healing and reinvention. Below, learn how our Program can help you reinvent yourself after a breakup or divorce – and thrive in extraordinary ways as you move forward. If you don’t want to move forward, then perhaps our programs are not for you. But if you do want to move forward in your life, then consider what delaying your changes will cost you – in terms of life and love. 

MODULE ONE

Breakup and Divorce Recovery Program

Comprehensive Journey to Personal Growth and Extraordinary Success: Steps to Reinvention

Calm Your Inner Self

WHY
When relationships disintegrate, we experience deeper stress, worry, anxiety and fear of the future. This often leads to feelings of overwhelm and distress, sleepless nights and confusing days. Let’s change that in easy stages. Together, step by step, starting with this empowering introductory module, you will focus on healing and shifting to calm mindful awareness.

OUTCOME HIGHLIGHTS
• Feel heard and understood in terms of what has happened, what you are feeling, and where you are at now.
• Heal and grow calmer, happier and lighter, as you learn to use our stress-lowering breathing exercises and tools for detaching from stress and negativity.
• Gain clarity on what type of goals and changes will help you enjoy more satisfaction and success ahead.

MODULE TWO

Develop Unshakeable Self Worth

WHY
Failed relationships take a toll on our identity, leading us to question our own self-worth. This creates negativity, self-attacks, hopelessness, and lack of energy, purpose and direction. Chronic low self-worth makes it even worse. There is a better way! In this Module you will develop a sense of deep worthiness, self-acceptance and peace of mind. You will breathe new life into the tapestry of you. It’s time to uncover the unshakeable foundation of High Self-Worth.

OUTCOME HIGHLIGHTS
• Build peace of mind and Unshakeable Self-Worth. New Liberating Beliefs will lessen fear and worry.
• Enjoy more self-compassion, self-love, self-confidence and self-trust. Lower anxiety.
• Feel more energetic and less hopeless.
• Start changing patterns with deeper self-regard – for a better life and relationships ahead.

MODULE THREE

Reinvent Yourself – Transform Self-Defeating Patterns

WHY
Self-Defeating Patterns keep you from having the life and wonderful relationship(s) you want. It’s highly likely that repeating patterns, such as over-pleasing, negative self-talk, and self-attacks have led to your current distress. These patterns become so ingrained that they arise automatically – below the level of conscious awareness – and hold you back from creating your dream life and relationship. Now that you have been strengthening self-worth, you are ready for the next stage in your Reinvention Journey! You will change patterns that set you up for failure in the past – and create a new and far more satisfying life and relationship story.

OUTCOME HIGHLIGHTS
• Recognize and detach from Self-Defeating Patterns.
• Detach quickly and effectively from these Self-Defeating Patterns.
• Identify and transform the underlying patterns so you move you forward faster – with more inner power and confidence.

MODULE FOUR

Re-create Your Inner Critic as Your Inner Coach

WHY
Connecting with and managing your Self-Talk by shifting your relationship with your Inner Voice will empower you to be the person you are set on becoming. Now that you’re experiencing higher self-worth and less distress through your recent changes, the next stage is learning to let go of shame, guilt, self-blame, and self-attacks. Exploring and countering the inner sources of negativity, self-doubt and self-attacks is empowering. Your inner voice will become supportive and helpful. And good feelings will follow.

OUTCOME HIGHLIGHTS

Dr. Diane’s Story — After two painful divorces and many failed relationships, I fell into the pit of despair, feeling hopeless and worthless and yet longing for love. I could hardly get out of bed in the morning and lay there, pitying myself and feeling the anxiety of no one in my future. I heard my critical inner judge berating me with: ”There is something wrong with you. You are worthless. No one whom you want will ever want you.”

Laying there, some part of me refused to give up. This part said: “Figure out the problem and solve it! You are not stupid.” Realizing that I had to discover why I was failing again and again, I went to therapy, coaching and self-development programs to discover what was causing my failure.

Donna’s Reinvention Story — Like many women I’ve known, I thought my marriage was near perfect. Sure we had occasional arguments – usually the same few, in different forms. As a child, I had seen my parents argue and thought arguments were normal. I trusted all was well and that he felt the same abiding love and loyalty for me that I did for him. So, I was beyond shocked when I discovered an inconvenient truth. He didn’t feel the same way – at least for a time. At one point, he didn’t even know if he wanted to stay together.

Realizing that, I felt heartbroken. I drifted through cycles of denial, anger, hurt, tears, emptiness, and depletion. In my despair, I realized that it’s not only the heart that breaks when you feel betrayed. It’s your spirit, your sass, and your essential life force. No longer confident in my own judgment, I castigated myself for having missed “the signs.” The more I beat myself up, the more I believed I would never feel good again. And deep down, I missed my former self and my former life. Read more >
