The Divorce Entrepreneur Approach
Hi, I'm Belinda, and this is how Divorce Entrepreneur came to be
I’m a business owner, investor, and mother of three. I work with women who are navigating divorce alongside businesses, assets, and real responsibility.
I consider myself an optimistic realist.
Anything is possible, but only when decisions are made deliberately and in the right order.

I’m a business owner, investor, and mother of three. I work with women who are navigating divorce alongside businesses, assets, and real responsibility.
I consider myself an optimistic realist.
Anything is possible, but only when decisions are made deliberately and in the right order.
When my own marriage ended in 2016, the impact was immediate and far reaching.
My health, my children, my businesses, and my finances were all affected.
This was not because I wasn’t capable, but because I underestimated the complexity of the process I was stepping into.
I didn’t lack resilience.
What I lacked was strategic oversight.
Like many entrepreneurs, I defaulted to survival mode. I kept things moving, dealt with what was urgent, and assumed I’d work the rest out as I went. In hindsight, that approach was costly - financially, emotionally, and operationally.
Divorce is not a single decision.
It’s a sequence of decisions and the order matters.
If you’re thinking “I need help with my divorce,” it’s rarely as simple as finding the right lawyer.
What most women actually need first is clarity: what to prioritise, what to protect, and how to engage professionals without losing control of the bigger picture.
That’s where my work begins.
Why this approach works
Too many capable women enter divorce by defaulting to a 'lawyer first' approach, without understanding the full landscape they’re stepping into.
When my own marriage ended, I didn’t lack intelligence or resilience.
What I lacked was visibility - of my options, and of how profoundly the order of decisions would affect the outcome.

Too many capable women enter divorce by defaulting to a 'lawyer first' approach, without understanding the full landscape they’re stepping into.
When my own marriage ended, I didn’t lack intelligence or resilience.
What I lacked was visibility - of my options, and of how profoundly the order of decisions would affect the outcome.
With hindsight, it’s clear that different sequencing, different professional input, and earlier strategic clarity would have changed everything - not just the cost, but the quality of the outcome.
Divorce is not a single decision.
It’s a series of decisions, each with compounding consequences.
My role is to help you step back before you step in - to identify what truly matters in your situation, and to engage the right professionals at the right time, with intention rather than urgency.
This is not about avoiding lawyers.
It’s about ensuring they are used effectively, within a broader, considered strategy.
Divorce is different when you’re an Entrepreneur
Divorce is different when you’re an Entrepreneur
There is something distinct about women who build and run their own businesses.
Entrepreneurs are accustomed to solving problems, thinking laterally, and carrying responsibility, often for far more than just themselves.
We are decisive, resourceful, and used to operating under pressure.
There is something distinct about women who build and run their own businesses.
Entrepreneurs are accustomed to solving problems, thinking laterally, and carrying responsibility, often for far more than just themselves.
We are decisive, resourceful, and used to operating under pressure.
That’s precisely why divorce can be so destabilising.
Not because we’re incapable, but because divorce introduces a level of personal, financial, and emotional complexity that doesn’t respond to the usual problem solving playbook. The rules are unfamiliar, the stakes are personal, and the consequences of getting it wrong are significant.
When faced with that level of uncertainty, even the most capable women can stall... delaying decisions, avoiding difficult conversations, or defaulting to urgency rather than strategy.
I know this pattern because I lived it.
My work is grounded in a deep understanding of how entrepreneurial women think, decide, and operate and how to help them regain clarity when the system they’re navigating no longer makes sense.
Rather than asking you to become someone else, I work with the strengths you already have - applying them deliberately so you can move through divorce with control, momentum, and strategic intent.
