...enter Ann Dowd,

your post divorce reinvention strategist.


I've been where you are. I am a divorce survivor. About ten years ago my life was turned upside down. I had no idea how to stabilize my life, and I ended up 'unstable' for quite some time.

They say time heals all wounds, but what I found out was that one day I looked up and I had gone YEARS and still dealing with the crying at night, the secret depression, and the immense anger. I needed to change my existence or I was going to wither away, like a beautiful, dying flower.

Today, I am whole, healed, and HAPPY! Today I reach back to grab hold of your hand to say, “you can make it too”. Yep, I’m talking to you. YOU CAN MAKE IT! You’ve taken the first step, you’ve reached out for help. Let's start this journey together.


You Can Get Your Happy Back


You don’t have to mask the pain by turning inward, developing unhealthy habits, or by getting another man before you’re ready. (We’ll talk more about that later). Healing and wholeness can be yours. Sure today your life may look to you like a ball of tangled yarn, but you’re only looking at your now. I’m looking at your future, and you look GOOD in your future!

It is my hope that this being connected with me will help you, encourage you, and challenge you to LIVE! Life isn’t over for you my sister. Not in the least. Together we’ll take it one day at a time, sometimes one moment at a time. No time to give up now, your happiness awaits. Let’s go…

Strength and love for the journey,

Ann ❤️
