A LIVE WORKSHOP FOR MOTHERS IN DIVORCE
UNWRECKED
How to Stop Surviving Your Divorce
and Start Being Built By It
Divorce with kids is the most rigorous, unforgiving, and — if you let it — most transformative experience of your life. The breakdown and the becoming are the same thing.
This dynamic workshop is for mothers at any stage of divorce and coparenting
WHAT UNWRECKED IS
You knew it would be hard. You did not know it would be this hard. The legal and financial process is grinding. Co-parenting with a challenging ex is grinding. The grief comes in waves you cannot predict or prepare for. And underneath all of it is a woman who is trying to stay functional — for her kids, for her case, for the version of herself she is terrified of losing.
Unwrecked is for that woman. Not to fix her. To show her what is actually happening — and what becomes possible when she stops trying to survive this and starts letting it build her.
Recovery is a promise that you'll be yourself again. You won't be. You'll be someone you haven't met yet.
WHAT YOU ARE LIVING THROUGH
The things nobody
is helping you with
You cannot think straight.
Not because something is wrong with you. Because your nervous system is not designed for this kind of sustained stress. Every decision feels enormous. Every exchange with your ex is a potential detonation. You are doing your best under conditions your body was never built for.
His behavior is running your inner life.
A single text derails your entire morning. His mood at pickup sets the tone for your afternoon. You are spending enormous energy on his side of the street — energy that belongs to your own life, your own kids, your own becoming.
The guilt and shame are relentless.
You cycle between feeling responsible for everything and blaming him for everything. You second-guess every decision. You are exhausted by a story you cannot stop telling yourself — and it is costing you in ways you cannot yet measure.
You are grieving a life that is gone.
The future you imagined no longer exists. Until you fully accept that — not as defeat, but as the ground you are actually standing on — you will keep spending yourself on a version of your life that is over instead of building from where you actually are.
WHAT UNWRECKED TRAINS YOU IN
Five areas.
One through-line.
This is not a support group. Not a place to process your ex's behavior. It is a workshop for women ready to stop being acted upon and start acting — who sense, even in the wreckage, that something in here is building them. During our time together you will learn to:
01
Stabilize your emotional energy
Learn to be moved without being swept away. Your feelings are not the problem. Not knowing how to stay with them is. This is the foundational skill everything else rests on.
02
Feel without collapsing
Work with the big emotions instead of around them. Grief, rage, shame, fear — they are not signs that you are broken. They are the raw material of your becoming. Learn to use them.
03
Accept reality without betraying yourself
Build from what is true, not from resignation. Real acceptance is not giving up. It is the most powerful clarity available to you — the ground you stand on when you stop fighting what is already done.
04
Release guilt, shame, and blame
Stop needing the story of his wrongness to justify your own existence. The guilt and shame cycle is burning energy you do not have. Learn to work with these feelings instead of being flattened by them.
05
Untangle from your ex
Bring your energy back to your own side of the street. You cannot control what he does. You can control where your attention lives. This shift — small as it sounds — changes everything.
WHAT UNWRECKED LOOKS LIKE
Not a lecture.
A real container.
Two hours, live and in person or delivered virtually. The arc moves through Marisa's story, the framework, a dynamic writing exercise, live coaching, and practices you can take with you into real life. For a group of women at any stage of the journey, from contemplating divorce, to the deeper chapters of co-parenting.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Any stage.
Any woman.
Women contemplating separation through years into co-parenting. Women in the thick of a high-conflict divorce and women navigating something quieter but no less disorienting. Women who have been in therapy for years and women who have never talked to anyone about this.
All that is required is the willingness to stop surviving this and ask what it might be building in you.
ABOUT MARISA
She does not teach this
from theory.
Marisa Belger
Divorce & Co-Parenting Coach for Mothers
Marisa Belger is a coach for mothers navigating divorce and co-parenting. Drawing from her own experience — including two marriages ending and a deliberate commitment to building close, functional co-parenting relationships with both of her children's fathers (and everyone's partners) — she helps women stop organizing their lives around what they cannot control and start building from where they are.
Her work occupies a space no other member of a woman's divorce team fills. Not therapy. Not legal strategy. Not financial planning. The emotional layer underneath all of it — the one that determines how effectively everything else works.
