A little about Amy…
Amy Polacko is a Freedom Warrior — a divorce coach, journalist and domestic abuse survivor who turned personal trauma into a mission to help women reclaim their power. A former investigative TV reporter, Amy has exposed corruption, chased down criminals and earned prestigious honors like the Edward R. Murrow and Associated Press Awards. She was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team that covered the TWA Flight 800 crash.
But it was surviving a narcissistic relationship — and navigating a broken system — that ignited her real calling. Now an award-winning writer and sought-after divorce coach, Amy empowers women to become the CEO of their own divorce. She’s coached hundreds through toxic relationships and writes for national outlets on coercive control, domestic abuse, singlehood and family court. Her bylines appear in HuffPost, The Washington Post, The NY Daily News, Newsweek, NBC News THINK, The Independent, New York Observer, and Ms. magazine.
Amy also co-authored the groundbreaking book FRAMED: Women in the Family Court Underworld — an unflinching exposé of the gender bias women face in our courts.
Amy brings both fire and empathy to her work. Her clients feel educated, empowered and in control of their divorce. She loves helping them prepare, navigate the process and create an amazing next chapter on the other side!

"I found Amy Polacko by sheer luck. My child and I had been pushed around in family court for over two years and I was ready to quit, to accept defeat...she gave me information on protective laws brought into effect by other mothers. Amy gave me validation, hope, empathy, strength and the vocabulary to stand in court and fight for my child. I am truly grateful." -Diana, Coaching Client
