Australia’s trusted divorce support centre for women
Women’s Divorce Academy’s WDA Circle is a membership for women navigating, or thinking about, separation or divorce. Gain clarity, steadiness, and support you can rely on – all while easing your mental load, not adding to it.
Ready to feel supported?
When everything feels uncertain – legal decisions, money, parenting, your own confidence – having the right support changes how you experience this season.
Inside the membership, you’ll get clear information, practical tools, and steady guidance that helps you feel more grounded and less alone as you move forward.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place that helps you take the next step with confidence.
The WDA Circle is for you if…
You’re juggling legal decisions, raw emotions, parenting, money, and/or logistics – and it feels like everything needs your time NOW.
You’re capable and organised, but worn down from the mental load of every decision, every conversation, and every next step.
Even small decisions feel heavy right now, because there’s so much riding on getting things right.
You’re tired of second-guessing yourself and wondering whether you’re doing the “right” thing — especially with the stakes so high.
You have people around you, but you still feel alone in this – because they don’t really understand what this season is like.
You don’t need someone to tell you to “just be strong”. You need clarity, steadiness, and a place that helps you feel more confident as you move forward.
Is this you?
✦ Life feels like it’s coming at you faster than you can keep up.
✦ Your days are full — work, children, messages, appointments — yet there’s a constant background hum of worry you can’t quite switch off.
✦ You’re managing conversations with lawyers or your ex, staying calm and reasonable…then replaying them later, wondering: Did I say the right thing? Did I handle that well?
✦ You’re exhausted by the sheer number of decisions you’re making — with no real space to pause or gain perspective.
✦ You’re Googling late at night, saving articles you don’t have the energy to read, quietly hoping you won’t miss something important.
✦ You’re craving a place where you can exhale — where you don’t have to explain yourself, be “the strong one,” or hold everything together for everyone else.
What support looks like here
Clear guidance – not more noise
We help you understand what matters now, what can wait, and what your next best step is – so you’re not stuck second-guessing or spiralling through endless information.
Calm, experienced voices you can trust
You’ll hear from trauma-aware experts who understand the emotional and practical realities of divorce – and who explain things in plain language, without judgement or pressure.
Practical tools that reduce decision fatigue
Checklists, scripts, templates, and simple frameworks that help you organise your thinking, prepare for conversations, and make decisions with more confidence.
A community that understands
You’ll be surrounded by women who are navigating the same terrain – women who get the mental load, the emotional weight, and the quiet courage it takes to keep going.
Live support that meets you where you are
Space to stabilise and rebuild
Regular live Q&As and social sessions where you can listen, learn, or ask questions – always optional, always supportive, never overwhelming.
This isn’t about rushing you forward or pushing you to “move on”. It’s about helping you find your footing, regain trust in yourself, and move ahead at a pace that feels right.
The WDA Circle doesn’t add to your load. It helps you to carry it.
Choose the support that’s right for you
Empower Circle
For when you need steady guidance and connection, without the overwhelm.
$49/month (billed quarterly) or $490/year
Empower Circle is ideal if you’re navigating separation or divorce and want reliable support you can lean on as things unfold.
This level of membership helps you feel less alone, more informed, and more confident week by week – without adding another thing to manage.
Inside Empower Circle, you’ll find:
Regular guided Q&A calls with our expert team – so you can get answers as questions arise
Access to The Circle – our private, supportive community of women who understand what you’re going through
Ongoing access to curated resources, expert interviews, and practical tools
A calm, compassionate space where you can listen, learn, and participate at your own pace
💞 This is support that helps you stay steady as you make decisions – and reminds you that you don’t have to carry everything on your own.
Thrive Circle
For when you want deeper, personalised support and more hands-on guidance.
$199/month (billed quarterly) or $1990/year
Thrive is designed for women who want individual support alongside the membership – and who value having a clear, personalised plan to guide their next steps.
Because Thrive Circle is a high-support space, we begin with a short call to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
Includes everything in Empower Circle plus:
A one-on-one 60-minute welcome session to create your personalised Divorce Recovery Blueprint
Monthly 30-minute private Anchor Sessions for tailored support, clarity, and strategy
Guided referrals, scripts, and templates to support your legal, financial, and life decisions
Ongoing personalised guidance to help you move forward with confidence
💞 This is for women who want support across every layer – emotional, practical, and strategic – with someone walking closely beside them.
Note: This coaching is not therapy – it’s practical guidance through separation and divorce. Like having a ‘Divorce Bestie’ who has been through it all, knows all the tricks, and will listen to where you’re at and what you need. We will refer you to our network of trauma-qualified professionals for counselling, or other services, if appropriate.
Which Circle is right for you?
You don’t need to choose perfectly. You just need to choose what feels supportive right now.
Many women begin in Empower and step into Thrive later – when they’re ready for deeper, more personalised support.
Why the WDA Circle works
Clarity calms the nervous system
When you understand what’s happening and what matters most right now, the mental noise quietens. Clear information, explained simply, helps you make decisions without panic or second-guessing.
Structure reduces overwhelm
Divorce can feel chaotic when everything arrives at once. We slow things down, break things into manageable steps, and help you focus on what’s actually within your control.
Support is steady, not sporadic
This isn’t one-off advice or a single session. It’s ongoing support you can return to as new questions, challenges, or decisions arise.
Lived experience matters
All of our experts have been through divorce themselves and/or have worked with hundreds throughout separation and divorce. We understand the emotional load, the practical realities, and the quiet fears that don’t always get said out loud.
Community changes everything
Being surrounded by women who truly understand what you’re navigating reduces isolation and shame. You’re reminded – again and again – that you’re not failing, and you’re not alone.
This is about helping you feel steadier, clearer, and more confident over time – one supported step at a time.
Hi, I’m Carolyn
Hello!I created Women’s Divorce Academy because I saw too many capable, intelligent women trying to navigate separation and divorce on their own – overwhelmed, second-guessing themselves, and carrying far more than they should have to.
I’ve been through my own brutal divorce, and I’ve since helped over 800 women as they navigate this season – supporting them through the legal process, the emotional load, the financial decision-making, and the effort it takes to keep life steady while everything feels uncertain.
What I’ve learned is this: divorce isn’t just a legal process.
It’s an emotional, practical, and identity-shifting experience that touches every part of a woman’s life.
And yet, most women are expected to “just cope”.
Women’s Divorce Academy was created to be something different.
It’s place where women can slow things down. Where information is explained clearly. Where support is steady, not reactive.
And where you don’t have to hold everything together on your own.
My belief is simple: Women should not be disadvantaged by divorce. But when they feel supported and informed, everything changes.
Decisions become clearer.
Confidence returns.
And the future starts to feel bright again.
This is the support I wish I’d had during my divorce.
Welcome to Women’s Divorce Academy!
What our members say
“Joining Women's Divorce Academy was the first time I didn't feel alone through my divorce. The community was so supportive, and it helped me to be brave when I felt wobbly. Thank you so much!”
— JEN M, AUCKLAND“My coaching sessions with Carolyn helped me to stay focused, keep moving, and have a real plan. Without her help I think I would have been lost. Now I'm past the awful parts and looking for a new home for me and my kids. I'm so excited for the future!”
— RACHEL H, BRISBANE“I honestly believed my ex when he told me 50-50 was fair. Thank goodness I found you ladies in time! I got a much better settlement than I expected, and I feel safe and secure. PLUS I've made so many great friends in WDA.”
— SANDY B, PERTHFrequently asked questions
-
That’s okay. Many women join us while still in the messy middle – unsure, scared, and full of questions. This space is designed to support you with clarity, calm, and community – not pressure. You’re welcome here, wherever you’re at.
-
Yes, our program is suitable for women everywhere. Although we do have a few lessons that cover Australian family law, the rest of our lessons are universal - things like taking care of your mental health, planning your career, taking care of your kids. If you would like any specific content for your region, please email us at hello@womensdivorceacademy.com and we’ll do our best to make sure we get expert content to help you.
-
Absolutely! Legal paperwork is only one part of divorce. Healing emotionally, rediscovering who you are, and rebuilding your life often takes much longer – and you shouldn’t have to do it alone. We have women in the community who have been divorced for years, but still love the community and development opportunities.
-
That’s exactly why we created Empower and Thrive. You can access support in small, manageable ways – no pressure to show up “perfectly”, or at all. Come as you are, when you can, to the sessions that appeal to you. Every step counts.
-
Empower gives you ongoing support, community and expert Q&As. Thrive is for women who want more hands-on, personalised guidance, including monthly coaching calls and tailored next-step referrals. You can start with Empower and upgrade anytime.
-
We’ve chosen a quarterly billing cycle to create a deeper, more supportive space for our members. When women join the Academy, they’re often craving not just information – but true connection, trust, and a sense of safety. That kind of environment takes a little time to build, and it’s harder to create when people are coming and going every few weeks. A 3-month commitment helps us protect the integrity of the community and gives you time to truly settle in and get the most out of your experience.
-
That’s completely okay. We know life doesn’t run on a neat schedule – especially during a separation or divorce. You’ll still be able to access replays, resources, tools, and the supportive community inside The Circle whenever it suits you. Many women dip in and out as they need. And if you’re in Thrive, your private Anchor Sessions mean you’ll always have personalised support to keep you on track.
-
Yes! We’ve had quite a few women from same sex couples come through WDA, and all of our resources are designed for anyone who identifies as a woman. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that, if your ex is a woman, she won’t also find her way in here. But if that does happen, we are happy to offer a refund to one party.
-
We know that when you’re going through separation and divorce, you often have to have transparent finances, and your ex might still be seeing your bank statements. Charges are made my our parent company Stellar Content Group. You won’t see any mention of Women’s Divorce Academy on your credit card statement.
Ready to feel more in control?
You don’t need to have all the answers yet. You don’t need to feel brave or certain or “ready”.
You just need support that meets you where you are – and helps you take the next step with clarity and confidence.
Women’s Divorce Academy is here to walk beside you for as long as you need – with steady guidance, practical support, and a community that understands what this really feels like.
Whether you’re considering separation, deep in the divorce process, or finding your footing on the other side – you’re welcome here. Your next chapter doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
You deserve to feel supported and in control.
