A steady place to begin when everything feels like too much

If you’re navigating separation and feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or emotionally stretched thin — especially while supporting your children — this page is for you.

Separation can bring a rush of decisions, emotions, and expectations — often all at once.


It’s common to feel scattered, tired, or unsure what actually needs your attention right now.


There is no requirement to have a plan.


There is no expectation to “be strong”.


You’re allowed to slow this down.


Your First Steps Through Separation




This free checklist is designed to help you feel a little steadier in the early stages of separation.


It will help you:

• focus on what matters most right now

• identify what can safely wait

• reduce mental overload

• create a small sense of order during a time of change


There’s no catch, and no commitment required.

If you’re feeling foggy, emotional, or unsure of yourself, that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re in the middle of a major life transition. Support doesn’t have to be dramatic or overwhelming to be helpful. Sometimes, it just needs to be steady.

When you’re ready — now or later — there are a few gentle next steps available to you.


You might choose to:

• explore the different course options

• learn more about Jess and the approach behind The Zest Life

• simply take what you need from the checklist and return later


There is no pressure to move forward until it feels right for you.
