Name: Debbie Burgin

Passion: Helping women get from a place of emotional despair over the breakup of a significant relationship, to the place where they look forward to creating a life that is big, shiny and faahhbulous 

9 to 5: Divorce coach, author, mom.

Shameless plug: Divorce is rarely a ‘day at the park’. The key is to work past the technical and emotional stuff, in order to get to the ‘good stuff’. If you’re looking for awesome divorce coaching programs, come visit me at www.thejoyofex.net!   Re-branding divorce for a ‘brand’ new outlook!

Favourite heel: OMG. An AMAZING pair of spiked Louboutins that I nearly devoured yesterday in Holts. These things were SICK!

Home is: Wherever my kids are.

I overcome a ¨broken heel¨ by: Bitching, venting to some poor soul who can’t escape me, then shopping, in that order.

I confess I am:  an unbelievable procrastinator.

If I had one wish: Only one? Hmmm… I’d wish for more money to help more divorcing / divorced women and their children (working on that). There are so many financial issues…(stop me. I’m about to get up on my soapbox again… )

Beauty is: happiness. Smiling faces. Laughter (I love the sound of laughter.)

I absolutely love: Designer shoes and handbags. It’s a sickness. Borderline fetishism. It’s disgusting really…

My role model is: Martha Stewart.

I want to be remembered for: making a positive difference in the lives of divorcing and divorced women and their children.

You make a difference by: using my own divorce experience to help others understand that divorce is absolutely not ‘the end’. It definitely makes us stronger, and it can actually be the beginning of a life that is MUCH better.

Last word: You know how we’re all told that we are “here for a reason”, and we struggle to figure out what that reason is? I’m certain that my reason for being here is to do exactly what I do with The Joy of Ex.
