Have you been scarred by bad support groups in the past? Unfortunately, we've heard all about them from clients over the years.

Here are the qualities to look for when searching for a high-quality support group:

1. A qualified person is leading it
This is someone who is either certified in facilitating groups or is an expert in the topic you need support on (ideally-- both!) The leader should create a safe space where people feel comfortable to participate and be more open minded.

2. Not a vent session
While venting can be be a form of support, it can also overrun a space and make it feel toxic if left unchecked. Ideally, a support group is somewhere you can listen and learn from others in group, and work through problems together!

3. You leave with tools you can apply anywhere
We're not going to be able to change others, but we can learn tools and strategies to better react to the world around us. Like building a muscle, the more you use these new resources, the better you can adapt to issues in your everyday life and be the person you want to be.

Our new co-parenting support group, Co-Parenting Confidence Circles, checks all of these boxes! Starting October 12th, this exclusive client perk will be led by our Power Partner, Maria Natapov, BeH2O® Certified Coach & Rapid Resolution Therapy® Facilitator!

If you're tired of running in circles with your co-parent, come to our community support group and see if we can't stop that cycle. Learn more here: https://foundationsfamilylaw.com/coparenting-confidence-circles/

Did you know that September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month? A cause very close to our hearts, we always make a donation this month to one of our favorite charities, One Mission! Cancer can steal a kid’s childhood, and One Mission helps them get it back through programs and activities that foster friendship, fun, and positive distractions from treatment. Whether it’s putting on holiday celebrations, providing art and music therapy or paying for expensive hospital parking, they make life brighter for children and their families from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

If this sounds like something you'd like to donate to, you can do so at https://onemission.org/donate or through the link in our bio!

After a brief hiatus this summer we're BACK with a brand new episode of the Divorce Detox podcast! It's back to school season, which means an uptick in divorce filings before the holidays are upon us.

Tune in to hear Jolee and Lisa bring it back to the basics if you are considering filing for divorce or are just in the beginning of your divorce journey. Some topics we touch on include- how to tell your spouse you want a divorce, setting up appropriate supports for your children, and how to not get overwhelmed by the financial disclosures required in the divorce process.

Ending a long-term marriage can raise complex legal, financial, practical, and emotional questions. After years of building a life together, decisions about the family home, retirement savings, income, alimony, and future financial security can feel especially overwhelming.

Join Jolee and other divorce experts from Vesta’s Lexington/ Wi******er, MA Hub for an informative discussion focused on the unique considerations that often arise when a marriage ends after 15 years or more.

In this event, you will learn about:

• Legal considerations: How the length of a marriage may affect alimony, asset division, and other important decisions under Massachusetts law
• Financial planning: Understanding retirement accounts, pensions, Social Security, income needs, and long-term financial stability
• The family home: Evaluating whether to keep, sell, refinance, or downsize
• Emotional well-being: Managing the grief, uncertainty, and identity changes that can come with ending a long shared life
• Family relationships: Communicating with children, including teens and adult children, and navigating changing family dynamics
• Planning your next chapter: Making thoughtful decisions that support your future goals and quality of life

Whether you are considering divorce, currently in the process, or trying to understand your options, this event will provide practical guidance and professional perspectives to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Divorce is already emotionally exhausting. You shouldn’t also have to lie awake wondering:

“Am I agreeing to something I’ll regret?”
“Can I afford the life I’m planning?”
“Will I truly be financially okay after this?”

That fear often comes from not fully understanding the numbers, and you do not have to figure them out alone.

Jolee will be presenting at a session of The Divorce Financial Clarity Academy, a supportive six-week virtual experience designed to help you move from overwhelmed and uncertain to informed, prepared, and confident about your financial future.

Imagine walking into your next conversation knowing which questions to ask, what details to examine, and what your choices could mean for your life after divorce.

📅 September 18–October 23, 2026
🗓 Fridays
⏰ 12:30 PM–2:00 PM EST
💻 Live on Zoom

You are not only making decisions about money; you'll be making decisions about your security, independence, and next chapter.
