This option is right for you if you want support alongside others.
You may feel isolated or uncertain in your decisions.
You may value reassurance, shared understanding, and guidance as you navigate change.
Connection here is respectful, optional, and contained.
Listening is as valid as speaking.
Separation affects emotions, confidence, and everyday decisions at the same time.
This programme supports all of these, together.
You are supported to:
• steady emotional overwhelm through grounding practices
• reduce confusion around practical decisions
• support your children with more calm and confidence
• feel less alone in the process
• build clarity about what comes next
Support focuses on steadiness and clarity, not fixing or rushing.
This is an eight-week programme with group support woven through the course.
You receive:
• Full access to the eight-week course content, so you can engage with the material in your own time
• Weekly online group support calls held over the eight weeks. Each 2-hour session is facilitated by Jess and offers steady guidance, shared reflection, and space to integrate the course content
• A calm, respectful group space designed to support reflection and understanding without pressure
Participation is always by choice.
There is no expectation to share more than feels comfortable.

The Zest Life supports women navigating separation while parenting. That includes women who are considering separation, in the early stages, or already adjusting to a new family shape.
If you are carrying the emotional and practical weight of separation while raising children, this space was created for you. You do not need to have everything decided. Many women begin while still working out what comes next.
No. This is structured separation support. It combines emotional grounding, parenting guidance, and practical orientation.
It does not replace counselling, legal advice, or financial advice. Many women use it alongside professional support. Others use it as their steady foundation while they make decisions.
The course is designed for overwhelm. Lessons are short. Tools are practical. You move at your own pace.
Many women begin by simply listening to the grounding exercises before touching the practical content. You do not need energy or certainty to begin. You only need one small step.
Yes. Parenting through separation sits at the heart of this course.
You will learn how to:
The aim is not perfection. It is presence.
The Zest Life is a global online separation course. The emotional tools and parenting guidance apply wherever you live.
The practical content has been shaped with legal systems similar to New Zealand and Australia in mind, but the structure and principles are broadly applicable. You can use the framework for clarity while seeking local advice for country-specific details.
This course supports women internationally.
Free information is often scattered and impersonal.
The Zest Life offers:
Depending on the option you choose, you may also have live community support. That shared experience is something articles and forums cannot provide.
This course was created from lived experience of separation while parenting. It is organised with care, not pulled together loosely.
The group option is for women who:
It offers weekly grounding and conversation with other mothers navigating separation.
When I separated, connecting with other women was one of the most stabilising parts of my recovery. Shared experience reduces shame and softens isolation.
You complete the same course content, with added live support.
Weekly sessions include:
Calls are recorded and shared privately within the cohort only. They are never distributed outside the group. If parenting or work commitments mean you miss a session, you can watch the recording later.
The structure supports you. It does not pressure you.
There is no obligation to share more than feels right.
You can speak, write reflections in the chat, or listen quietly. At the beginning of each session, you may note if you are listening only that day.
We encourage visible presence where possible because it strengthens connection, but emotional safety comes first.
Many women begin quietly and find their voice over time.
If you join the group programme and decide you would prefer to continue privately, you can transition into the self-guided course within the first week.
Simply reach out and we will adjust your access.
The goal is for you to feel supported in the way that suits you best.
Ask yourself:
Do I need quiet structure, or quiet structure with connection?
Both provide the full course content. The difference is live connection.
You are still welcome. Many women join while they are still deciding.
The grounding tools and practical orientation can reduce mental load and help you think more clearly about what comes next.
You do not need to have separated to benefit from support.
