2. Who is the founder—what makes her credible?

The founder is Bridget, a trauma-informed strategist and professional paralegal. She’s won sole custody as a pro se litigant and holds certifications in High Conflict Communication & Co‑Parenting Coaching as well as family court coaching for single Moms. Her approach is rooted in both lived experience and professional know-how.

  • 1:1 Coaching: Personalized, private strategy sessions that deliver a tailored game plan, emotional support, and documentation tools in the moment you're in crisis.
