When I was trying to wrap my head around my own divorce, I didn’t know what I was doing. 🤦♀️
I spent hours searching Google, unsure of whom to trust, and feeling hopeless about the future. There had to be an easier way. With two decades in communications and design, I started interviewing divorce pros, and wove their advice into a video course to help others.
Why "PurplCouch"?
When I was furnishing my new home after my divorce, I suddenly realized that I didn’t need anyone else’s input on the furniture. I got this gorgeous velour purple couch. PurplCouch.com is a symbol of the empowerment we get when we look forward and write the next chapter of our lives.
What will be your "purple couch" moment?
“Self-paced, affordable, and it features a stellar team of educators. The whole package.” -L.G.

“I wish I had come across this before I started this journey. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It was excellent. Period.” - David
“This week, I have been feeling a growing sense of empowerment thanks to your videos and financial spreadsheet. More than just practical, this course is bringing me back to myself. The final spreadsheet tab brought me to tears - when did I stop dreaming? Completing this last tab will be an act of deep self reflection and care and a point of departure for my future.” - Julie
“I have been reading your course material this morning and am so happy I found you. Everything you represent is what I am all about. It was a rocky ending of my marriage, however with me continuously saying ‘this is not a failed marriage it is just the next book in our choose your own adventure series’ we quickly moved from rocky to communicating better than we ever have. Anyway, thanks again!”
