Joan Mankoff
Personal Divorce Coach
I have stood in your shoes.
Drowning in an unhappy marriage and consumed by life’s challenges, I remained stagnant in an unhealthy relationship for what felt like a lifetime. Fortunately — yes fortunately! — I was propelled into a painful, arduous, and expensive divorce.
Reestablishing myself on the other side, I have discovered the sweet taste of happiness and renewed purpose. Overcoming this difficult experience inspired me to create Your Divorce Pro, a Massachusetts-based coaching service that helps others going through divorce feel equally empowered.
There are so many things I wish I had known about the divorce process that I had to learn the hard way. By sharing this valuable knowledge with others, I hope to help reduce the pain, isolation, and expense of this difficult journey.
No one should have to go through this exhausting process alone. While it may feel difficult to believe at first, a new, fulfilling life awaits you on the other side, and I’m here to help you achieve it.
During my divorce, it was difficult to believe that better days were ahead. Having fought through this challenging time, I’ve found renewed energy, purpose, and happiness. In addition to becoming a divorce coach to help others through this difficult journey, I now volunteer as an ESOL teacher at Rosie’s Place, a multi-service community center for women based in Boston. I believe education is the path to self-advocacy and empowerment, and my mission is to support that.
In my “downtime,” I now have renewed joy in my favorite activities — including spending time with my daughters and friends, running, traveling, cooking, hiking, and embarking on new adventures. Being excited to pursue my passions and lead my best, most purposeful life is a feeling I hope to empower in those going through divorce. I’ve found incredible happiness on the other side, and I am excited to help you achieve this, too!
