In this episode of the Divorce Mortgage Strategies Podcast, Certified Divorce Lending Professional Stacy Ellison sits down with Deidre Haggerty, founder of Coaching With Ms. D, for a deeply honest and inspiring conversation about rebuilding life after divorce and major personal transitions. Deidre shares how her own journey—marked by career dissatisfaction, profound loss, and a return to her original passion for psychology and helping others—ultimately led her to become a coach. Together, Stacy and Deidre explore how coaching provides a forward-focused, supportive space for clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of who they are now. Deidre discusses the difference between coaching and therapy, the emotional challenges clients face after divorce, and why true transformation begins with learning to listen to yourself. She also talks about the common desire many clients express—“Just tell me what to do”—and how coaching instead empowers them to uncover their own answers and build confidence through intentional steps, reflection, and personal accountability. This episode is a valuable resource for divorcing individuals, divorce professionals, and anyone navigating reinvention or identity shifts later in life.
