Happenings

Where the conversation continues.

These gatherings are for anyone who wants more than information: connection, perspective, and people who understand what this season actually feels like.

From coffee chats to live summits, this is where the work continues outside the coaching room. Every gathering is free or low cost, and every one is built around real conversation.

“Knowledge is power.”

Divorce After 50 Summit — The Experts, the Roadmap, and the Life Waiting on the Other Side

Tuesday, November 10 | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM PST/12Noon – 7:00 PM EST

DESCRIPTION:

Divorce after a long marriage is one of the most complex transitions a person can face. The legal, financial, and emotional decisions made in the early stages have consequences that follow for years. The Divorce After 50 Summit was created to change that.

On November 10, 2026, twelve carefully selected professionals come together for one live virtual day to cover the full arc of what gray divorce actually involves, from the first conversation with an attorney through the financial strategy, the practical logistics of transition, and the reinvention that makes life on the other side worth building.

This summit is for anyone navigating divorce at any stage, still deciding, mid-process, or rebuilding. It is also for the professionals who serve them.

DESCRIPTION:

At this summit, you'll hear directly from the attorneys, mediators, and financial and tax professionals who do this work every day. You’ll also hear from experts who specialize in “what’s next” in life once a long marriage has ended. Sessions cover:

  • What a tax expert wants you to know before dividing assets

  • What the lending and mortgage process looks like when refinancing or purchasing a home

  • How to navigate real estate decisions involving the family home

  • How to rebuild your identity and sense of self through and beyond divorce

  • What reinvention looks like after 50 when the right support is in place

  • How to think about dating and calling in love after a long marriage

The full speaker list and schedule will be posted closer to the event, so you can plan around the sessions that matter most to you.

It's free to attend. Come for one session or stay for the entire day.

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

& GUEST APPEARANCES

I've had the honor of sitting on expert panels alongside divorce professionals, wealth advisors, and reinvention leaders, and speaking at events where the focus is emotional healing, reinvention, and what comes next.

If you'd like to invite me to speak at your event or collaborate on a podcast episode, I'd love to hear from you.
