A little about Lyerly…
Step Up With Lyerly offers strategic divorce coaching for women navigating the emotional, logistical, and legal complexities of divorce. Whether you're contemplating separation, deep in the process, or rebuilding on the other side, I provide nonjudgmental, structured support that empowers you to make informed, confident decisions.
I’m not just a coach—I’m also someone who’s walked this road. I’ve lived through a high-conflict divorce, raised children through major life transitions, and gone on to remarry and blend a family. That lived experience fuels the empathy, clarity, and strength I bring to every coaching session.
Professionally, I am a Certified Divorce Coach with advanced training in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Pre-Mediation Coaching through the Divorce Coaches Academy®. My work helps clients prepare effectively for mediation, improve communication, manage conflict, and stay anchored in their goals—even when emotions run high.
Clients come to me when they’re overwhelmed, stuck, or afraid of “doing it wrong.” I help them get organized, clear-headed, and grounded in what matters most. From co-parenting strategy and communication scripts to mindset work and values-based planning, I meet you where you are and help you move forward, one step at a time.
Sessions are available virtually, with a complimentary 30-minute consult call to see if we’re a fit. I serve clients nationwide.

Testimonials
"Working with Lyerly has been truly transformational. Every session builds my confidence and now I feel supported, safe, and ready to move forward in my divorce with clarity and strength. Thanks to Lyerly, I’ve assembled a strong team and rediscovered my voice. I’m walking into this next chapter with my Wonder Woman power fully activated."
"Lyerly was a steady, compassionate presence throughout my divorce. Her deep understanding of the process, combined with thoughtful emotional support made all the difference. She helped me feel informed, supported, and far less overwhelmed. I truly couldn’t have done it without her—and I’m so grateful she was by my side."
"Hiring Lyerly as my coach was a key step in my post-divorce journey. Having spent years getting back on my feet and focusing on my children while still navigating the stresses of co-parenting and juggling a busy career, I realized I had lost sight of myself. Lyerly helped me prioritize myself, my goals and address the fears holding me back. She held me accountable while providing the understanding and empathy I needed. I highly recommend Lyerly who has her own personal experiences with divorce and is a true support for women."
