What membership actually looks like

This is what a typical week looks like as a Fresh Starts Registry expert member — not a pitch, just what's actually available to you.

Monday9AM EST

Monday Morning Guide Accountability Session Premium

Start the week with structure. Premium members join a focused accountability session — goals set, progress shared, week anchored before it begins.

Monday1PM EST

Co-working session Premium

Show up, get things done, stay connected to a professional community that actually understands your work. Open virtual workspace — bring whatever you're building.

Tuesday1PM EST

Hot seat coaching Premium

Bring a real challenge — your positioning, a difficult client situation, a content question. You get the room's full attention, not a generic answer.

Wednesday10AM EST

Co-working session Premium

A midweek reset. Same format as Monday — focused work time alongside other Fresh Starts experts. Consistency is the whole point.

Thursday11AM EST

Hot seat coaching Premium

A second chance each week to get eyes on something real. Same structure as Tuesday — direct, practical, and specific to what you're working through.

Friday12PM EST

Co-working session Premium

End the week with momentum. Three co-working sessions a week means you always have somewhere to be — even when working solo starts to feel isolating.

Monthly

Expert-exclusive networking

Every month, Fresh Starts hosts a networking session exclusively for Expert Directory members. These are the referral relationships that actually move businesses — divorce coaches connecting with attorneys, therapists with financial advisors, mediators with real estate professionals.

Anytime

Referrals — from multiple directions

Referrals come through your Expert Guide profile, Fresh Starts blog posts, and our social channels — but the most meaningful ones come directly from Olivia, Fresh Starts Registry's co-founder, who personally directs people seeking support to the experts best suited to help them. That's not a directory algorithm. That's a human relationship pointing someone to you by name.

Anytime

Collaborate with us on social

Members can collaborate with Fresh Starts Registry directly on Instagram content — reaching 33K followers in an audience that is already engaged with divorce support, resources, and the professionals who provide them. It's visibility in front of the exact people you want to reach.

Anytime

Host your own event with Fresh Starts

Members at any tier can co-host events with Fresh Starts Registry — workshops, webinars, community sessions. You bring the expertise; we bring the audience and the platform.

Ongoing

Podcast and magazine reach works in the background

Is Fresh Starts Registry only for coaches?
No. The Expert Directory includes divorce attorneys, mediators, therapists, financial advisors, real estate professionals, and other specialists. If your work meaningfully supports people navigating divorce, there's likely a place for you.
How does a listing actually bring me clients?
Referrals come through several channels working together: your SEO-optimized Expert Guide profile, Fresh Starts blog posts, and our social media — including 33K Instagram followers actively engaged with divorce support content. But the most direct path is Olivia, Fresh Starts Registry's co-founder, who personally refers people seeking support to the experts best positioned to help them. It's not an algorithm matching you to a search term. It's a trusted source sending someone to you specifically.
What's the application process like?
Fresh Starts reviews every applicant before approving a listing. It's a straightforward process — we want to make sure the directory stays trustworthy for the people using it to find support, which is ultimately what makes a listing here worth something.
Can I host events and collaborate on social with Fresh Starts?
Yes to both — and both are open to all members, not just Premium. If you have a workshop or webinar you want to run, you can do it under the Fresh Starts umbrella and reach our audience. And if you want to collaborate on Instagram content, that's available too. These tend to be the most underused benefits in the directory.
Can I see more before deciding?
Yes. The become-an-expert page walks through everything, and you're welcome to email any remaining questions before committing. Details are linked below.
