Lyerly Spongberg, Certified ADR Divorce Coach in Greenwich CT, supporting clients nationwide through divorce, mediation and co-parenting.

If I were in your shoes, I’d want to know the divorce coach I’m working with not only had the right training, but also the life experience to truly get what I’m going through. Because when you’re navigating divorce, it’s not just about paperwork or legal terms—it’s about heartbreak, identity shifts, and really tough decisions that can impact your life for years to come.

In my early thirties, life looked perfect—I was married to my supposed soulmate, raising two daughters, and running a successful small business. But beneath the surface, I felt disconnected from my marriage and myself. I kept busy, focused on my daughters and took up long-distance running, trying to escape the growing sense that my life and soul felt out of sync.

At 36, I made the hardest choice of my life: to face the heartbreak I couldn’t outrun and start over as a single mom.

Years later, I remarried a widower with four children of his own, and together we blended our big, beautiful, complicated family. After our youngest left home, I found the courage to confront the unresolved emotional aftermath of my own drawn-out, high-conflict, combative divorce. I saw clearly the missteps, the regrets, the choices I wish I’d made differently, and the strength I didn’t know I had.

That reckoning sparked a calling: to become the supportive, practical divorce coach I wish I’d had. I blend my extensive training with real-life lessons to guide you through every step—minimizing trauma, reducing costs, and helping reduce stress.


I’m here for you, wherever you are.
