I help divorcing and co-parenting women heal, get steady, and grow stronger so they can build a thriving life for themselves
and their kids
Real support for divorcing women facing co-parenting stress, a difficult ex, and the realities of raising kids between two homes
Marisa Belger is a certified coach who helps women stay grounded through divorce, co-parenting dynamics, and the emotional demands of raising kids across two households.
Support for Divorcing and Co-parenting Moms
Divorce and co-parenting come with big feelings—overwhelm, anger, guilt, and the stress of raising kids between two homes. I support women who feel lost, anxious, or stuck in cycles of resentment and reactivity so they can feel calmer and more grounded, even with a difficult ex.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.
You want to feel calm, steady, and present—
for your kids and for yourself.
But the emotional weight of divorce and
co-parenting is relentless.
This is a massive transition, and without support the inner chaos—
resentment, grief, reactivity, guilt—can tear you apart.
If you're stuck in the emotional fallout of separation or divorce,
feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or unsure how to move forward, you are not alone.
Do any of these sound like you?
-
You just split up and you're barely keeping your head above water, trying to be “okay” for the kids while privately unraveling.
-
The divorce papers are signed, but you still replay old arguments and wonder if the weight of resentment will ever lift.
-
Every interaction with your ex leaves you drained, like you're dodging landmines just to get through a five-minute pickup.
-
You're constantly carrying the invisible burden of managing your kid’s life, with someone you no longer trust, and who might not even notice the effort you’re putting in.
-
You’re biting your tongue, sending the polite texts, showing up like the calm, evolved co-parent, but you're seething with rage, frustration, or sadness.
-
You’re walking into couples therapy or mediation like you’ve got it together. But inside? You’re a swirl of rage, guilt, and “how is this my life?." You’re so tired of pretending you’re fine.
-
You crave peace, but your nervous system is short circuiting, especially when your kid comes home with stories from the other house.
-
Your ex is sending toxic texts, dropping biting comments, or telling stories to mutual friends or even your family, and it’s messing with your head and your peace.
-
You feel tossed around by your ex’s emotional swings, anxious, guilty, even afraid, depending on what version of him shows up that day.
-
You have no idea what this next chapter looks like. Will you ever feel strong again? Will you ever trust love again? Right now, it’s just a sea of question marks and what-ifs, and you're not sure where to even begin.
There is a way to find calm, confidence, and trust in yourself, even if your ex stays exactly the same.
Hi, I'm Marisa Belger
and I get it.
I know what it’s like to lose the
dream of a happy marriage
and be shattered into a
million tiny pieces.
I know what it’s like to place your kids in the hands of a co-parent who suddenly feels like a stranger. I know the guilt, the rage, the fear, the overwhelm. I know it because I lived it. Twice.
Today, I happily co-parent my two kids with their dads, their partners, and my fiancé. We travel together, celebrate together, and navigate the complexities of raising kids as a modern family. We get frustrated, argue, repair, and then we do it again. It's family, but better, because we created it, and we choose it every day.
Creating this new shape of family from the ashes of heartache and confusion is my greatest accomplishment. I earned it through years of trial, honesty, accountability, and practicing inner steadiness. Along the way, I discovered a clear formula for transforming relationships from conflict and disconnection into harmony and ease.
Hint: You are the answer. When you are in right relationship with yourself, every relationship in your life changes. I'm here to help you get to that place.
