Darlene Taylor, MSW
Divorce and Co-Parenting Coach, Author, Speaker
When Darlene Taylor got divorced several years ago, a healthy co-parenting relationship was among her biggest life priorities. Although she knew it wouldn’t be easy (no divorce is easy), the social worker and mom of a then two year-old daughter felt that the emotional health of her child is what mattered most. So, Darlene set out to be the best co-parent she possibly could. That was 16 years ago!
Sixteen years later, Darlene and her ex have a great co-parenting relationship, her daughter is thriving, and Darlene realized she had a lot of insight and wisdom to share with other men and women going through divorce. So, she became a divorce and co-parenting coach. She also wrote a best-selling book called It’s Not About Us: A Co-parenting Survival Guide to Taking The High Road. Darlene aims to help her clients become grounded, and to live their best lives before, during and after divorce. She offers one-on-one coaching, as well as short-term and longer-term coaching programs. Welcome to DGS, Darlene!

About Darlene
Divorce can make an enemy out of someone who used to be your best friend. At times, it seems hard to imagine getting to a place where you can respond in confidence while also extending grace. It’s a road I know too well, because I’ve been where you are. Hours spent wondering, how did we get here and what’s coming next?
I’m a former Gender Studies professor and wellness coach with 10+ years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker. Now, as a life coach, speaker, and published author, I spend my days empowering others through life transition coaching, guiding coparents as they navigate choppy waters associated with life after divorce.
– Being a Single Parent
– Overcoming Feelings of Failure
– Establishing Boundaries with Co-parenting Partners
– Making the Most of Time Spent with and without Kids
– Co-parenting with an Ex who is in Another Relationship
This is a handful of difficult topics I teach co-parents, grandparents, and support systems to better understand, so together we can develop a solid plan of action specially designed for you to create healthier relationships with children and ex-partners. Services I provide include:
– 8-week Co-Parenting Coaching program
– Parenting Superpower Discovery Session
– Healthy, Wellness, & Family Speaking Engagements
If you desire a healthier coparenting relationship with your children, coparenting partner, and/or support system, then schedule a consultation. Together, we’ll discuss your needs and determine the best course of action.
