Hello; We're Bethany and Hillary—besties on a mission to actively disrupt the narrative and isolation of divorce for those in the midst of it and those finding their way after it.
By pioneering a modern dialogue around divorce and the end of long-term partnerships, we are changing the way people experience this type of adversity and the way others support them (ideally with less judgment and more love).
Here's our confession: Divorce is one of the best things that ever happened to us, and we are on a mission to help other people thrive after the end of a long-term partnership and connect with others who are doing the same. Oh, and it's really important to us that we disrupt the narrative of failure and shame that society assigns to divorce.
That’s why we started Sincerely, Divorced: We wanted to create a place where we could challenge the isolation of divorce and reframe all of the negative perceptions of it that we all have (unfortunately) learned to embrace.
Learn more about our origin story
We are two women who found ourselves navigating the unpredictable maze of separation, divorce, coparenting, depression, and healing at the same time, yet in very different ways. Professional work brought us together, and the journey of divorce led us to our purpose–to help others overcome narcissistic mistreatment, thrive through the end of an intimate partnership, and give our children the most healed versions of ourselves.
We are divorced. We are stronger, healthier, and wiser after divorcing our respective spouses and we are on a mission to create a visible community of people who are separated, divorced, or are no longer in a long-term intimate partnership. We’ve created this space to normalize these experiences in all of their shapes, sizes, and circumstances, to share strategies for support (for people having the experience as well as those who love them), and to ultimately change the commonly accepted (and widely outdated) narrative of shame and failure around divorce.
We love sharing what we’ve learned and what we continue to learn while navigating life after divorce and raising our children. Although we live and work in Maryland, we know this work and this community is not bound by geography nor is this work bound by gender, race, religion, or identity.
We're so glad you're here. Now, let's do this...
One breakdown and glow-up at a time. ⟡
Do I need to be a woman, parent, divorced, or at a certain stage of divorce to join this community?
Nope! Our community is unique because it's intentionally inclusive—all genders, ages, identities, and relationship types are welcome (the more the merrier). Trust us, this is a rare find in other divorce spaces today. We are informed by the diversity of experiences and we always will be. We will also keep our finger on the pulse of topics that may pertain more to the needs of a particular subgroup.
Sincerely, Divorced has followers who are still (happily) married but they're here to help someone they love. Many are in the early stages of considering divorce (facing it is hard). Many are in the trenches of divorce—both high-conflict, amicable, and everything in between. Some of our followers just enjoy laughs about the highs and lows of relationships, dating, and want to learn more about how to apply positive reframing to their lives and the challenges life brings us.
