“When I first started talking with Sammy-Jo about divorce, she was an incredible source of comfort and inspiration. 

I had been married for almost 30 years, but realized I could no longer endure the emotional (and sometimes physical) abuse from my husband. I knew I had become complacent and told myself it was just easier to stay married after so long. 

Divorce seemed like such an overwhelming process to me. That was BEFORE talking with Sammy-Jo! Her heartfelt care, along with her feminist wisdom and witchy insights truly gave me the strength and courage I needed to see that I could live life on my own much happier. 

At 62 years old, I assumed I ‘needed’ a man to take care of me. After all, I saw my mom endure the same relationship I had been living, and she stuck it out for over 50 years. 

Sammy-Jo was by my side to guide me through this transformative process.  Because of her, I can say that divorce felt less like an ending and more like a powerful rebirth!  I’m so grateful for Sammy-Jo’s very existence in this world! Because of her, I’m freeeee!!.”
