"Dawn Dais knows all about life's rollercoasters. In fact, she's made a career of writing books about them. Whether she was going from couch potato to marathoner, navigating pregnancy, or tackling parenting, her books have become go to guides for honest, been there done that wisdom delivered with wicked humor. But what do you do when life blindsides you with a challenge that is decidedly less entertaining? After twelve years of domestic partnership, five properties, two children, and ten animals, Dawn and her partner decided to call it quits. In the book, Dawn takes readers along as she tries to figure out what happened and what happens next. It turns out that the road to renewal is bumpy, meandering, and often absurd. There will be therapy, there will be exercise plans, there will be lawyers, there will be tarot cards, and there will be an unfortunate number of dating app profiles that look like the beginning of a Dateline episode. Combing her own experiences with the input of her gallery of divorced friends who have made it out the other side, the result is a true to life and funnier than it should be guide that helps readers navigate a life blown apart and embrace the unique opportunity to put things back together in better ways."--

But somehow, she found herself stronger—and happier—on the other side.
Leaning into the mess, Dawn helps you learn the art of embracing Netflix and cry, the healing power of profanity, the importance of assembling the right support squad, how to survive the sh!tshow of co-parenting, and much more. Joined by an insightful chorus of divorced friends, Dawn delivers a true-to-life and funnier-than-it-should-be guide to discovering the unexpected value in the wreckage. What if divorce isn’t just a loss—but an opportunity?
