Here are some common questions about First Steps of Separation By Design.
If separation is part of your life right now — whether you're thinking about it, it's just happened, or you're already navigating your way through it — yes.
First Steps covers the practical foundations that can help at almost any stage: protecting what matters, communicating with your ex, supporting your children, looking after yourself and making more informed decisions about what comes next.
Even if you've already taken some of these steps, there will likely be things here that can make the road ahead easier.
You haven't missed the boat.
You may already know or have done some of what we cover, but other lessons can be useful at almost any stage — particularly communicating with your separating partner, supporting your children, protecting your privacy and finances, and understanding what to focus on next.
And because First Steps is the foundation of the By Design journey, it will also help prepare you for the deeper tools and support available as you move forward.
No — quite the opposite.
Everything has been deliberately designed to make this stage feel simpler, not heavier. The lessons are short, the guidance is practical and you can take what you need now and leave the rest until later.
You don't need to do everything. You just need somewhere clear to start.
No. I’m not a lawyer or financial adviser, and this course does not provide legal or financial advice.
Legal and financial advice can be incredibly important during separation, and I always recommend seeking personalised guidance from appropriately qualified legal and financial professionals for your individual circumstances.
What I help with is everything happening around that professional advice — the practical and emotional side of separation, including important early information to think about, ways to prepare so you can use your professional support more effectively, thoughtful communication with your separating partner, and the everyday decisions that can otherwise feel incredibly overwhelming.
My role is to help you feel more informed, prepared and supported, so you can make better use of the professional advice you receive and navigate the early stages with greater clarity and confidence.
Not at all.
Laws and legal processes differ around the world, which is exactly why personalised professional advice matters. But so much of the life happening around separation is universal.
Protecting what matters. Communicating carefully. Supporting your children. Looking after yourself. Avoiding unnecessary mistakes. Knowing what to think about next.
The practical guidance and time, money and sanity-saving hacks inside have been designed to help you wherever in the world you call home.
You'll receive your login details by email and get immediate access to the members portal.
Everything is waiting for you there, including the lessons and downloadable resources. You can start straight away and move through everything entirely at your own pace.
Access the course on your computer through the link in your login email, or download the GoKollab app from the App Store or Google Play for easy access on your phone when you're on the go.
That's exactly why the lessons are short.
You don't need a free weekend, a colour-coded notebook or another enormous project to tackle. Watch a lesson, take the next useful step and come back when you're ready.
This was designed for real life — including the messy kind.
