The course is cathartic. It allows a safe space to grieve but also to be confident to move forward. Being able to pause to think and process conflicting emotions is important.

I'm Sarah Lyman, nice to meet you
When I was getting divorced from my husband, I didn’t know what I was doing. I spent hours on Google, unsure of whom to trust, and feeling hopeless about the future. There had to be an easier way. So I started PurplCouch.
My background in communications and design was perfect for assembling and interviewing an outstanding team of divorce professionals.
Personally... faves include Star Trek TNG, Queer Eye, hiking, kayaking, scuba diving, and listening to live jazz. One of my post-divorce "fresh starts" is watercolor painting: the artwork on this site is mine, and an intentional contrast to the gavels and broken wedding rings seen elsewhere.

Why "PurplCouch"?
When I was furnishing my new home after my divorce, I suddenly realized that I didn’t need anyone else’s input on the furniture. I got a gorgeous velour purple couch. PurplCouch.com is a symbol of the empowerment we get when we look forward and write the next chapter of our lives.
What will be your "purple couch" moment?
