September is the Crack that Let’s the Light In

September Letter from the Editor

Every September, Jenny's grandmother took her and Olivia to Staples for school supplies, laid it all out on the kitchen table, and made it feel like the year ahead was possible. In this month's Letter from the Editor, she traces how her parents' divorce didn't break her family — it opened it, making room for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and found family to step into bigger roles. A reminder that a fresh start isn't always a break. Sometimes it's the crack that lets the light in.

Want a Print Copy of Divorce Guide Magazine?
Get Your Copy Now!

We print a limited run of each issue, so once they're gone, they're gone.

A few things worth knowing before you order: because of the way our print cycle works, physical copies won't ship at the top of the month. If you're ordering the March issue, for example, plan to have it in hand closer to mid-March. We wish it were faster — but we'd rather get it right than get it out the door half-done.

Each issue is $12, shipping included.

If you want one, don't wait. Limited run means limited run.

DIVORCE ISN’T A SOLO SPORT.

When your life is being rebuilt, redesigned, or completely reimagined… you deserve more than advice. You deserve a team.

THE FRESH STARTS EXPERT GUIDE

Your curated roster of divorce-savvy pros:

Therapists. Coaches. CDFAs. Lawyers. Mediators. Realtors.

No guesswork. No overwhelm. No “you’ll figure it out.” Just a vetted crew who actually understands what this season feels like.

WHY IT MATTERS

Because divorce is logistical. Because divorce is emotional. Because divorce is a thousand decisions you shouldn’t have to make alone. Because the right team turns chaos into a roadmap.
