If you’re feeling overwhelmed by divorce—or even just quietly wondering if something in your marriage isn’t working—you’re not alone. One of the hardest parts of divorce isn’t the legal process. It’s knowing where to begin.
That’s exactly why Divorce Resource Consults exist.
A Divorce Resource Consult is a free, 15-minute, confidential Zoom call designed to help you gain clarity and direction without pressure, judgment, or a sales pitch. Every consult is personally held by Olivia Howell, CEO and co-founder of Fresh Starts Registry, a certified life and divorce coach, clinical hypnotherapist, divorced mom, and child of divorce. Olivia speaks with hundreds—often thousands—of people each year who are navigating divorce, separation, or rebuilding afterward.
These consults are intentionally private and discreet. The word “divorce” does not appear on the calendar invite, nothing is recorded, and you don’t have to be on camera. You can join from anywhere and share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
During the call, Olivia listens, asks a few practical, shame-free questions, and helps identify what kind of support would actually be helpful for your specific situation. This might include connecting you to vetted therapists, mediators, financial professionals, divorce coaches, or support groups—many of which offer free consultations.
There is no upsell on these calls. No pressure. No obligation. If something isn’t free, pricing is shared transparently. The goal is simply to educate, empower, and help you feel less alone.
Divorce isn’t just a legal event—it’s emotional, financial, and deeply human. A Divorce Resource Consult offers a steady place to land, a clear starting point, and reassurance that you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Divorce happens. And then you start fresh.
