Keep No Secrets, Carry No Shame

My name is Kristi Tanner, BA, MOMCC, CCAR Recovery + Divorce Coach.  I am an empathic, creative, passionate single mom to four kids under 10 from Madison, WI.  I love being an independent woman now that I am one, and I want to help you do the same! 

I work directly with women navigating the emotional landscape of divorce and single motherhood.  I have successfully + simultaneously managed many of life's challenges.  I found myself facing divorce as a stay at home mom to 4 kids under six, struggling with alcohol addiction, and living in a new state with little support.  Moved into my own home in March 2020, with 9 months of sobriety, and then the global pandemic hit. I quickly realized being an independent head of household was a huge job.  Staying sober, moving in, and virtually teaching two grades while watching two toddlers... It was a lot. I was the other half of a high conflict, high stakes, years long divorce process. 

I made many mistakes by not asking the right questions, by assuming a lawyer would know, by trusting without verifying, by being too stressed and overwhelmed too clearly think.  I help advocate for, empower, and educate women looking for guidance through the divorce process while keeping your children's best long term interest top priority.  

Motivational interviewing will help us rediscover who you are as a single woman, as well as implement effective behavior and communication methods to eliminate anxiety and emotionally charged interactions with your former partner.  I help you enjoy the time with your kids as well as learning to enjoy the time without them. There is a peaceful way to divorce for your kids, and together we will give you a divorce and co parenting experience you can be proud of for years to come.

I am passionate about alcohol free living, single motherhood, womens empowerment, holistic healing, yoga, interior design, travel, fashion and writing. I look forward to helping you move on from your marriage with grace and confidence by creating a co-parenting experience your children can be proud of.  

Do your work so your kids don’t have to.  Our kids are adults much longer than children, and they've spent a life term learning from our examples.
