"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it." - Charles R. Swindoll
This quote resonates deeply with us, not only because it encapsulates the essence of resilience and personal empowerment, but also because it perfectly aligns with the philosophy that drives Healthy Future Divorce.
As founders of a divorce coaching and mediation practice, we have seen firsthand how the way individuals react to the upheaval of divorce can shape their entire experience and future well-being. Divorce is undeniably a challenging chapter in life, marked by emotional turmoil, difficult decisions, and significant life changes. However, we firmly believe that it is not the divorce itself that defines one's future, but rather how one navigates through it.
Embracing the 90%
When faced with the end of a marriage, the natural response can often be overwhelming sadness, anger, or fear. These feelings are valid and part of the human experience. However, staying mired in these emotions can be detrimental. At Healthy Future Divorce, we strive to guide our clients to embrace the 90% that Swindoll speaks of—the part that involves conscious, constructive reactions to the situation at hand.
Through our coaching and mediation services, we provide tools and support to help individuals manage their emotions, communicate effectively, and make thoughtful decisions. We believe that by empowering our clients to take control of their reactions, they can transform a potentially devastating event into an opportunity for growth and positive change.
The Role of Coaching
Divorce coaching is a cornerstone of our approach. In these sessions, we focus on helping our clients understand their feelings, set goals for their future, and develop strategies to achieve those goals. We work on building resilience, fostering a positive mindset, and navigating the complexities of divorce with confidence.
Our coaching is tailored to each individual’s unique needs, ensuring that they feel heard, supported, and equipped to handle whatever comes their way. By focusing on the 90%—their reactions and responses—our clients often find strength they didn’t know they had and clarity in their path forward.
The Power of Mediation
Mediation is another crucial aspect of our practice. Divorce can easily become adversarial, but it doesn’t have to be. Through mediation, we help couples find common ground and reach mutually beneficial agreements. This process not only reduces conflict and stress but also lays the groundwork for healthier post-divorce relationships, especially important when children are involved.
Mediation encourages open communication and collaboration, allowing both parties to express their needs and work towards solutions that are fair and sustainable. By choosing mediation, our clients are actively taking charge of their reactions and opting for a more peaceful, constructive way to resolve their differences.
A Vision for a Healthy Future
Our mission at Healthy Future Divorce is to redefine the divorce experience. We want our clients to see that while they may not have control over the fact that their marriage is ending, they have immense power over how they respond to this change. By focusing on the 90%, they can move through their divorce with dignity, hope, and a vision for a brighter future.
In every interaction, we are reminded of Swindoll’s wisdom. Life indeed throws challenges our way, but it is our response to these challenges that shapes our destiny. We are honored to help our clients navigate this journey, and we are continually inspired by their courage and resilience.
Together, we are building a healthier future—one where divorce is not a tragic end but a new beginning filled with possibilities.
If you’re facing divorce and need support in navigating this challenging time, reach out to us. Let us help you take control of your reactions and build the future you deserve.
