TEXARKANA, Texas, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With nearly half of all first marriages in the U.S. ending in divorce and 60% of second marriages following the same path, a significant number of people find themselves in a situation where they need to navigate the complex emotional and practical aspects caused by this separation.
A certified divorce transition coach, mediator, and founder of Positive Communication Systems, Mardi Winder-Adams is rapidly becoming the go-to expert in helping others rebuild their lives with purpose and confidence as they go through the divorce journey. She is a strong proponent of not letting divorce take control of one's life, as difficult as that may sound. Winder-Adams' work has never been more relevant.
"Divorce is one of the most emotionally intense and disruptive life experiences a person can go through," said Winder-Adams. "Divorce is more than just signing papers. It's about navigating grief, identity shifts, financial pressures and sometimes rebuilding trust in yourself or others."
Many turn to life coaches to help them achieve their goals and overcome challenges. In many ways, Winder-Adams' divorce coaching achieves similar results. Being overwhelmed emotionally and financially often accompanies a divorce proceeding.

Here are five essential tips she offers for navigating the early stages of divorce:
Express Your Needs Without Anger or Blame: Use calm, clear "I" statements to communicate your needs without attacking or blaming others.
Listen and Respond, Not React: Practice active listening. Pause before responding to avoid emotional reactions and foster understanding.
Set Healthy Boundaries (And Stick to Them): Clearly define what's acceptable to you and consistently enforce those limits to protect your well-being.
Co-Parent With Grace, Even When It's Hard: Keep the focus on your child's needs. Stay respectful and collaborative, regardless of personal feelings.
Build a Support System That Lifts You Up: Surround yourself with people who support you emotionally and practically. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
"Divorce isn't just a legal process; it's an emotional transition," said Winder-Adams. "You don't just need a lawyer. There's also a need for resources in healing, self-advocacy and rebuilding."
Winder-Adams' clients range from professionals navigating high-conflict divorces to stay-at-home moms who feel overwhelmed and stuck.
