Shell Sawyer, CDFA Your Financial Specialist through Divorce & Beyond Your caring partner in navigating divorce! Divorce Planner & Guide, Mediator, Financial Recovery Coach, Co-parenting Coach & Author

From a young age, I embraced my passion for finance, spending countless hours at the kitchen table with my dad, learning the art of budgeting, saving, and investing. It was only natural that my career path would lead me to finance! I'm excited to share that I hold a master's degree in accounting and have more than 20 years of experience in the Financial Services Industry. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®️), Certified Divorce Coach, and Trained Mediator, my passion lies in empowering you to confidently navigate your finances and emotions during this challenging time. Together, we can create effective co-parenting strategies that will support you and your family now and in the future. Let’s embark on this journey together! I understand that everyone’s financial journey is unique, and I’m dedicated to ensuring your future is shaped by informed, thoughtful decisions. I appreciate the complexities of your situation because I have been there myself! My own divorce brought its share of financial challenges, but with perseverance and guidance, I found my way through. Now, I'm excited to share the insights I've gained. Together, we can create a supportive and inspiring environment where you feel empowered to face your financial and co-parenting future. With a compassionate and clear communication style, I’ll help you stay focused on building a brighter tomorrow. Let’s collaborate not just to navigate your divorce, but to help you truly thrive in the next chapter of your life!

One more note before the Divorce Foundation Workshop this Friday, September 18th, at noon.

This isn't only a webinar about custody or splitting assets. Shell Sawyer, CDFA Your Financial Specialist through Divorce & Beyond covers the process and the financial picture with clarity. Liza McMahon, RN, MSN, covers the pattern underneath it, the one already running before any paperwork starts, and the pause that becomes possible once you can name it.

Off-camera. Anonymous to each other. Yours to sit with, privately. If you've been meaning to register, this is the reminder. Register here ⬇️https://findingstrengthwithshell.com/events

Join Liza McMahon, a coach, consultant, and facilitator who specializes in guiding people when the life they built starts asking to be rebuilt, and Shell Sawyer, CDFA®, Divorce Planner & Guide, and Mediator. Together, we’ll help you steady both sides of the foundation you need before stepping into divorce: your emotional readiness and your financial clarity.

You’ll walk away with:
• The ability to recognize the role you've been cast in — and the one you keep stepping into — and how you and your ex-spouse pull each other into it
• A worksheet that maps out the roles you're playing and how you react under pressure
• A simple breathing technique to steady yourself before hard conversations
• A framework for preparing your home, heart, and money for the changes ahead
• Guidance on what to do first and what will protect your future
• A sense of direction and confidence, so you know you are not alone

This workshop is your first steady step, a place to breathe, get informed, and build the foundation you need before opening the door to what comes next.

Strength during divorce doesn’t always look bold.
Sometimes it looks like getting out of bed.
Sometimes it looks like asking for help.
Sometimes it looks like saying “I can’t do this alone.”

But every small act of courage counts.
Every step forward, even the messy ones, is proof you’re rebuilding.

You’re stronger than you think,
and softer than you give yourself credit for.
Both matter.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of “Should I stay or should I go?” alone, this workshop gives you a place to finally set it down.

But this workshop isn't just for people who are contemplating divorce.
➡️It's for the person who filed six months ago and is still white-knuckling every co-parenting text.
➡️The person whose spouse is instilling fear in them so they don't decide to get divorced
➡️The person three years past the decree who is only now realizing how much of the old pattern is still running their life.

This space is for anyone who feels the shift beginning, whether it's early, messy, delayed, or long overdue.

If you've been carrying any part of this alone, this is built for you.

Off-camera, anonymous to each other, no one will know you were in the room unless you tell them.

Friday, September 18 — 12 pm — Zoom.

Financial recovery after divorce isn’t just about numbers, it’s about rebuilding your sense of safety.

If your financial world feels shaky right now, you’re not alone. I’ve created a space where you can breathe, get clear, and rebuild your foundation one steady step at a time.

My financial recovery offering is designed to help you move from fear to clarity, from overwhelm to confidence, and from “I don’t know where to start” to “I’ve got this.”

Your next chapter can feel steady.
And it starts with one small step.

If you’re ready to feel grounded, I’m here.

The strength it takes to walk away from what’s hurting you
is the same strength that will carry you toward what heals you.

Divorce isn’t just an ending
It’s a moment of choosing yourself,
even when your voice shakes, and your heart is tired.

You’re not breaking down.
You’re breaking open.
