I help women navigating divorce make informed career and employment decisions in today’s changing job market.

I'm ready to talk!

You Don't Have to Go Through This Alone!

With my background in recruiting and HR, combined with my divorce experience, I help you approach these decisions thoughtfully and realistically. My work includes helping women clarify career direction, navigate job searches, and consider employment decisions with a realistic understanding of how hiring decisions are made.

I work with women who are already employed and not job searching. Sometimes workplace issues or questions can surface months or years later. If they do, I’m here as your independent thought partner. You’re welcome to connect so we can make sense of what’s happening and think through next steps before reacting or escalating internally.

Whether this is your first conversation with me or you are coming back later in your career, you will have practical HR insight from someone who understands the stakes before you choose how to move forward.

That’s why I became the career and employment strategist I wish I had.

Already Employed and Facing Workplace Challenges? I Can Help

But that support didn’t exist for me.  I did it alone.

I had so many questions and concerns about my career. I didn’t want to go back to my unfulfilling career after I returned to the workforce. I questioned whether I could realistically transition careers and rebuild income after years away from the workforce. I found myself transitioning careers while the divorce process was unfolding.

I wished there was a career strategist for divorcing women. Someone to help me think through career and employment decisions when I struggled with direction and needed guidance. Someone who understood the complexities and challenges of divorce. Someone who had been through this before and could empathize with everything I was carrying and weighing.

I Know This Because I Lived It

When you’re planning your wedding, you never imagine that one day you might be planning for life after divorce. And if you’re a mother, the questions, anxiety, and sense of overwhelm can multiply quickly. Not just about your kids, but about work, income, and how everything in between will fit together in your next chapter.

Divorce has a way of changing how you think about your life and your career, often at a time when you’re rethinking every decision you’ve already made. Whether you’re just considering divorce or you’ve already settled, career questions and direction often become something you’re left to figure out on your own.

CAREER & EMPLOYMENT STRATEGY FOR WOMEN NAVIGATING DIVORCE AND TRANSITION

Whether you’re quietly planning ahead of sharing the decision to divorce, in the middle of the process, or rebuilding after you’ve settled, I work with women at different points in the divorce process.

While I do not provide legal or financial advice, I stay within my role as a career and employment strategist and coordinate with your existing professionals when appropriate. If additional legal or financial support would be helpful, I can connect you with divorce-related professionals in my network.

With more than 15 years working in recruiting and human resources, I’ve led hiring across multiple organizations. I’ve screened resumes, interviewed candidates, presented candidates to senior leaders, negotiated offers, managed teams, and advised senior leaders and CEOs.

I understand how hiring works and how workplace dynamics operate behind the scenes.

I went through divorce while rebuilding my career, so I understand how exhausting it can be to weigh professional decisions when so many parts of your life are changing at once.

Divorce Career and Employment Strategist

Hi, I'm Shauna!

If Workplace Challenges Arise, I’m Here

I’ve worked in HR long enough to know that workplace concerns can come up at any time. Employees often struggle to communicate with their managers and hesitate to bring concerns to HR because they are not sure how it will be received.

If you’re struggling with a workplace issue, I’m here to help you think through manager communication, performance concerns, or how to respond to workplace issues before escalating them internally.

My role is to serve as a practical career thought partner so you can think clearly, prepare thoughtfully, and move forward in a way that aligns with your goals, without feeling alone in the process.
