Tim
I am recently complete Kara's complete package program, Cycle Breakers, that included Financial Separation Made Easy. It was incredible value and worth far more than I invested!
Tim

Adelaide, Aus

”
I have been in the process of working through my financial separation from my husband and I was feeling overwhelmed with where to start. So I decided to do Kara’s Financial Separation Made Easy program. Kara put everything in perspective for me. She integrated her legal background with her personal and professional experiences in a way that was easy to digest and apply. I had all legal information and tools I needed to move forward with confidence, and I have successfully negotiated almost all matters now without lawyers! I highly recommend this program and I am looking forward to working with Kara one on one to resolve the final touches to our agreement.”
Felicity

North West Brisbane, Aus

”
I am currently self-represented in the Court system for both property and parenting issues. It has been such an overwhelming process, but I recently had the opportunity to participate in Kara’s Financial Separation Made Easy program and I am so glad I did! Kara provides a step by step approach to navigating financial separation and for resolving areas of conflict in ways I had not considered. Her application of a conscious and holistic lens to the legal information and options gave me an entirely new perspective. I now feel fully equipped with all the information and resources I need to confidently self-represent in the Family Law system. I highly recommend Kara and her Financial Separation Made Easy program, it is well worth the investment!
Stephanie

Moreton Bay, Aus

I feel that the overwhelm of divorce is potentially so substantial it would make even the strongest crumble. On a weekly basis I have well meaning friends and family telling me that I ’should’ be getting a lawyer, or contacting this governing body, signing up for this service, all with the intent of protecting me. It is utterly overwhelming and only contributes to the accumulation of stress and amounts to poor decisions made along the way. Working through your Cycle Breakers course alongside my ex-spouse, together with the financial separation and conscious parenting programs,  has felt like I have a blueprint to one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I know that the hardest part is yet to come, but I feel like we are laying compassionate, empathic, considered and kind foundations along the way. I am so thankful to be doing this with you by my side.
