How do you make money?
Fresh Starts is free for anyone navigating divorce — we will never charge people to access support, resources, or our network of vetted professionals. Instead, our revenue comes from a few different streams that allow us to keep the platform sustainable:
Expert Guide memberships — Experts pay a membership fee not just to be listed and referred, but also to access benefits like business coaching, PR opportunities, networking, workshops, and ongoing community support.
Workshops + coaching — We occasionally host professional-focused workshops, public-facing virtual retreats, and small group masterminds on topics like podcasting and self-publishing books. We also offer hourly business consulting and podcast coaching for professionals who want personalized support.
Affiliate income — When registries are created through Amazon, we receive about 1% affiliate commission on purchased items. This never changes the cost for buyers.
Merch + books — We sell Fresh Starts merchandise (like T-shirts, tote bags, and mugs, all designed by Jenny) as well as print copies of our books.
Sponsored media & partnerships — We offer sponsored posts, sponsored newsletters, newsletter ads, and paid partnerships with aligned brands, products, and services. If you’re interested, email hi@freshstartsregistry.com.
All of this together allows us to keep the platform 100% free for individuals navigating divorce, while offering high-value opportunities for professionals and the broader Fresh Starts community.

Is Fresh Starts a charity?
No — Fresh Starts isn’t a charity. We’re a support platform dedicated to helping people navigate divorce and other life transitions with ease and care. Our registry works just like a wedding or baby registry, giving your friends, family, and community a simple way to show up for you. Our resources, Divorce Resource Consults, educational content, ePubs, PDFs and Expert Network is always free with no paywall. And while we’re not a charity, we are deeply committed to making sure people going through divorce never have to pay to access resources, vetted professionals, or our support network — because we believe guidance and access should always be free when you’re starting over.
