A little about Lyerly…
I’m a Certified Divorce Coach, Certified Coercive Control Trauma-Informed Coach, and Certified Pre-Mediation Coach—but most importantly, I’ve been where you are.
I went through a high-conflict divorce in my 30s, raised kids through big transitions, and eventually blended a big, beautiful, complicated family (6 kids!). I know firsthand how overwhelming divorce can feel—emotionally, financially, logistically. That’s why I do what I do.
Through my coaching practice, Step Up With Lyerly, I help clients move through every stage of divorce with more clarity, less chaos, and better outcomes—whether you’re still deciding, knee-deep in the process, or figuring out what’s next.
We’ll focus on what matters most to you: getting organized, gathering relevant paperwork & documents, preparing for mediation, co-parenting plans, communicating effectively (especially with a difficult ex), and making smart, grounded decisions. It’s not therapy, and it’s not legal advice—it’s steady, strategic support from someone who gets it.
Sessions are virtual, and I offer a free 30-minute consult to make sure we’re a good fit.

Testimonials
"Working with Lyerly has been truly transformational. Every session builds my confidence and now I feel supported, safe, and ready to move forward in my divorce with clarity and strength. Thanks to Lyerly, I’ve assembled a strong team and rediscovered my voice. I’m walking into this next chapter with my Wonder Woman power fully activated."
"Lyerly was a steady, compassionate presence throughout my divorce. Her deep understanding of the process, combined with thoughtful emotional support made all the difference. She helped me feel informed, supported, and far less overwhelmed. I truly couldn’t have done it without her—and I’m so grateful she was by my side."
"Hiring Lyerly as my coach was a key step in my post-divorce journey. Having spent years getting back on my feet and focusing on my children while still navigating the stresses of co-parenting and juggling a busy career, I realized I had lost sight of myself. Lyerly helped me prioritize myself, my goals and address the fears holding me back. She held me accountable while providing the understanding and empathy I needed. I highly recommend Lyerly who has her own personal experiences with divorce and is a true support for women."
