THE DIVORCED MOM RESET
Enrollment Opening Soon—Get on the Waitlist!
Feeling overwhelmed by the shift from marriage to co-parenting?
Get the support you actually need— cooperative ex NOT required.
You want to feel calm, steady, and present—for your kids and for yourself.
But the emotional weight of divorce and co-parenting is relentless.
This is a massive transition and without support the inner chaos—RESENTMENT, GRIEF, REACTIVITY, GUILT—can tear you apart. If you're stuck in the emotional fallout of separation and divorce, feeling overwhelmed, reactive, and unsure how to move forward, you are not alone.
Do any of these sound like you?
-
You just split up and you're barely keeping your head above water—trying to be “okay” for the kids while privately unraveling.
-
The divorce papers are signed, but you still find yourself replaying old arguments and wondering if the weight of resentment will ever lift.
-
Every interaction with your ex leaves you drained, like you're dodging landmines just to get through a five-minute pickup.
-
You're constantly carrying the invisible burden of managing your kid’s life—with someone you no longer trust… and who might not even notice the effort you’re putting in.
-
You’re biting your tongue, sending the polite texts, showing up like the calm, evolved co-parent. You’re even walking into couples therapy or mediation like you’ve got it together. But inside? You’re a swirl of rage, guilt, and “how is this my life?”—and you’re so damn tired of pretending you’re fine.
-
You crave peace, but your nervous system is still in survival mode—especially when your kid comes home with stories from the “other house.”
-
Your ex is lobbing toxic texts, dropping biting comments, or telling stories to mutual friends and even your family—and it’s messing with your head and your peace.
-
You feel tossed around by your ex’s emotional swings—anxious, guilty, even afraid, depending on what version of him shows up that day.
-
You have no idea what this next chapter looks like. Will you ever feel strong again? Will you ever trust love again? Right now, it’s just a sea of question marks and what-ifs, and you're not sure where to even begin.
Even in the mess, you can find your way to calm, confidence, and trust in yourself—even if your ex stays exactly the same.
Hi, I'm Marisa Belger
and I get it.
I know what it’s like to lose the dream of a happy marriage
and be shattered into a
million tiny pieces.
I know what it’s like to place your kids in the hands of a co-parent who feels like a stranger. I know what it feels like to be consumed by guilt, rage, and fear. I know it this because I did it. Twice.
Today, I happily co-parent my two kids with their dads, their partners, and my fiancé. We travel together, celebrate together, and navigate the complexities of raising kids together. We get frustrated with each other, argue, and repair. And then do it again. It's family, but way better because we created it—and we choose it every day.
Creating this new shape of family from the ashes of heartache and despair is my biggest accomplishment. I worked hard to get here and I now have the formula for transforming romantic relationships from disconnection and conflict to harmony and ease. Hint: You are the answer. When you are in right relationship with yourself all of your relationships will transform. I'm here to help you get to that place.
Becoming a bonus mom was one of the best parts about marrying my husband. But since our wedding, our family dynamics have changed and it has impacted my role as bonus mom and partner. Marisa Belger Coaching has given me the tools to be a stronger mom to our two little ones as well as a better mom to my teenage stepson. Marisa allows me to lead with love without compromising my needs. Everyone needs a Marisa to help them navigate this journey!

I was feeling a shift in my marriage that I couldn’t have ever predicted nor did I want to be true. But it was there - a disconnect of the heart that had become so strong that it could no longer be ignored. In bringing this to Marisa, I was met with her centered, gentle wisdom and guidance which led me to my own experience of vulnerability, courage and eventually reconnection with my husband.

Having the kind-hearted Marisa facilitate her Modern Mother Workshop was such an impactful part of our Gold Dust Womxn’s festival. Our goal was to have an offering for mothers, but we didn’t want those without children to be left out. Her workshop provided a space for all kinds of birthing: whether it's a child, a project, or an aspect of personal growth. The guests left singing her praises, feeling held, heard, and empowered.
