Hi, I'm Cindy Stibbard
A CERTIFIED LIFE, LOVE & LOSS COACH
EMPOWERING YOU WITH THE STRENGTH TO THRIVE IN LIFE, LOVE, LOSS AND DIVORCE
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING AND SHOULD BE
just like you
A previous version of you chose this relationship—but maybe it has stopped serving you and who you’ve become. Now you are wondering if you are facing the reality of making the difficult decision to stay and give it one last shot at repair or prepare to go—and how to even know what comes next. You are not alone.
Why Work with Me?
Although I have training in various therapeutic modalities such as EMDR, somatic practices, betrayal trauma and affairs, and soon hypnotherapy… my coaching practice is much more than the average coaching program… it is about real human-to-human connection— transformation from a place of shared experience and actual personal results.
I’m not just here to listen and validate your feelings; I’m here to actually teach you HOW to transform them into actionable steps that move you forward whether it’s in deciding what to do with your relationship, navigating the divorce process or healing from the aftermath of it all… transforming you like I transformed me.
I’ve not only survived my own tragic storms— I’ve THRIVED because of them and here’s how…
In 2018, I navigated a high-conflict, financially abusive divorce. As a stay-at-home mom, I didn’t have access to family finances. I put myself and my career on hold to raise my children. After the breakdown of my marriage, I was raising them as a single mom with no career and no income.
This forced me to take myself in hand, determine what I really wanted and get super clear on my life’s purpose.
From there I started two businesses and worked with a coach to create the version of myself I always knew I was capable of - I fully embraced my freedom and independence in building a joyful, exciting life… and with a new love.
Then in 2023, that version of myself, and the life I spent 5 1/2 years rebuilding after my divorce, was suddenly and tragically ripped out from under me when the love of my life unexpectedly died.
In a split second, the life as I knew it again was gone. I was denied all access to my partner’s children who I was practically a stepmother to, I was forced to sell my house, liquidate assets, move communities and put one of my businesses on hold. My physical and mental health plummeted - I became wickedly afraid of the dark, I started losing hair, I turned to alcohol to cope and I was experiencing massive adrenal fatigue just trying to cope with the debilitating loneliness and grief. I found myself faced with the overwhelming reality of having to rebuild everything for a second time. It was THE MOST DIFFICULT time of my life.
Now, as we approach the end of 2024, I barely recognize who I used to be… but in many good ways. I can now credit the hardest experiences in my life for being the catalysts for my greatest joys. I devoted myself to healing, tapping into my inner strength and becoming really comfortable being on my own. As a result, I have begun writing another chapter of my life in an even more beautiful way than I ever imagined.
I have a renewed focus in the work I do, I invested in further training, I settled into an amazing new home beside my kids’ school, I competed in my first ever bodybuilding competition at the ripe age of 48, I travelled on my own to Europe twice and I allowed space in my heart for new love… The hardships I was given have become the foundation of how I empower and inspire others to pivot their into purpose too, to not only survive the toughest times but THRIVE because of them
I’ve been stuck so deeply in the pain, the uncertainty, and the grief that there was a time I honestly didn’t see a way out.
But I also know the immense strength that can come from these experiences.
Today, my coaching work is about helping you tap into YOUR strength, tune into YOUR inner voice and guide you to thrive in life, love, loss, and everything in between.
This isn’t just about feeling your feelings and talking through your pains—it’s about shifting HOW you show up for yourself and others, in ways that are real, powerful, grounded, and life-changing.
