A little about Lyerly…
I’m a DCA Certified ADR Divorce Coach, Certified DCA Pre-Mediation Coach, Co-Parenting Specialist and Coercive Control Trauma-Informed Coach—but most importantly, I’ve been where you are.
I went through a high-conflict divorce in my 30s, raised kids through big transitions, and eventually blended a big, beautiful, complicated family (6 kids!). I know firsthand how overwhelming divorce can feel—emotionally, financially, logistically. That’s why I do what I do.
Through my coaching practice, Step Up With Lyerly, I help clients move through every stage of divorce with more clarity, less chaos, and better outcomes—whether you’re still deciding, knee-deep in the process, or figuring out what’s next.
We’ll focus on what matters most to you: getting organized, gathering relevant paperwork & documents, preparing for mediation, co-parenting plans, communicating effectively (especially with a difficult ex), and making smart, grounded decisions. It’s not therapy, and it’s not legal advice—it’s steady, strategic support from someone who gets it.
Sessions are virtual, and I offer a free 30-minute consult to make sure we’re a good fit.

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."

The Unfreeze: How to Stop Spiraling and Start Deciding with Lyerly Spongberg of Step Up With Lyerly
For anyone stuck in the overthinking loop — whether they're pre-divorce and can't stop running scenarios, mid-process and second-guessing every decision, or post-divorce and replaying what they could've done differently — this session would give them real, usable tools to move from paralysis to clarity. That's so squarely in your wheelhouse, and it's one of the things people get stuck on longest without realizing there's a way through it.
