What is a Fresh Starts Expert?
A Fresh Starts Expert is a vetted professional listed in the Fresh Starts Expert Guide—our trusted directory of divorce and family support providers. Experts include therapists, coaches, lawyers, financial advisors, real estate agents, organizers, and more, all dedicated to helping people navigate major life transitions with compassion and clarity.
People come to Fresh Starts Registry looking for support as they go through divorce, breakups, or fresh starts of any kind. They browse our site to find free resources, build their divorce registries, and—most importantly—connect directly with professionals they can trust. Each Expert has a dedicated profile page where visitors can learn more, get in touch, and access support with just a click.
As a Fresh Starts Expert, you’re not just listed—you’re part of the premier divorce support network. We refer our experts daily, and with 40K+ monthly page views and over 20 million social media views a month, your work gets seen by people actively seeking help.
Can Fresh Starts help me with legal stuff like divorce papers or custody?
We don’t provide legal services directly, but our Expert Guide includes family law attorneys and legal coaches who can help you understand your rights and next steps.
Do you offer support for co-parenting or blended families?
Yes. We have a number of experts — including coaches, therapists, and legal professionals — who specialize in co-parenting, blended family dynamics, and parenting through transition.
What is a Divorce Resource Consult?
A Divorce Resource Consult is a FREE, 15-minute call with our CEO, Olivia Howell, created to help you find the right support for wherever you are in your divorce journey—whether you’re just starting to think about it, actively going through it, or navigating life post-divorce. Olivia, a certified life coach, will listen to your unique situation and then follow up with a personalized email full of expert referrals and helpful resources. You don’t need to be on camera, it’s completely confidential, and there are absolutely no strings attached. It’s a safe, supportive space—and it’s totally free.
You don’t have to navigate this alone — we’ll guide you step by step.
How do I know which expert is right for me?
Each expert profile includes background info, services offered, pricing, and a personal note so you can get a sense of their style. You can also book a free Divorce Consult if you’re not sure where to start.
How are experts vetted?
Every expert in the Guide is carefully reviewed to ensure they align with our values of compassion, empowerment, and professionalism. Each and every Expert has agreed to our Expert Ethos in order to appear on the guide. We look for people who are not just qualified, but who truly care about supporting you.
Is there a fee to connect with an expert?
Nope — there’s no cost to browse the Expert Guide or reach out to any of the professionals listed. Each expert sets their own pricing for their services, so you can explore options and connect with someone whose offerings and costs align with your needs and budget.
What is the Expert Guide?
Yes! You can choose to keep your registry private, share it only with specific people, or make it public — whatever feels best for you.
