About

We are changing the way the world sees divorce

Hillary Livingston, M.S. and Bethany Pace, M.Ed. are the creators and co-founders of Sincerely, Divorced, a vibrant in-person and online community built around reframing an often-shamed shared experience. They deliver compassionate advice with a dose of humor, research and teach about positive reframing, and spread hope for rebuilding one’s life after navigating adversity and major life transitions.

The impact of their work has been recognized and felt worldwide. In addition to running their very popular Instagram page, Hillary and Bethany are the minds behind Divorce-Con and The Show About Divorce, and the people who send handwritten notes of encouragement to people on every continent except Antarctica and write chalk messages outside of courthouses and other visible places to give others hope.

Their mission is simple: to acknowledge and celebrate the fortitude it takes to face and overcome life’s adversities, one breakdown and glow-up at a time. In the end, Bethany and Hillary are dedicated to helping people embrace the bold idea that their happiest days are ahead.
