Meet Darlene Taylor, MSW, Wellness, Life and Parenting Coach, Author, Speaker
Darlene Taylor believes that if we are the same person on this date next year as we are today then we have wasted a year. Darlene, a divorced mom and a health, wellness, life and parenting coach, says that we are all always growing and changing, and that that’s a good thing. It is Darlene’s contagious courage, energy, and positivity that makes her someone I am proud to call a Divorced Girl Smiling trusted professional.
Darlene, who is also a best-selling author and speaker 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!
Sincerely,

Darlene’s Bio:
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.

About Darlene’s Book:
A Co-parenting survival guide to taking the high road
It’s Not About Us
If you had told Darlene Taylor that she’d pack her bags after a rocky divorce to move across the country at the request of her ex-husband, she would have laughed in your face and asked to sip whatever it was you were drinking. But that’s exactly what happened—and it changed the course of her family.
Part memoir, part survival guide, It’s Not About Us shares with hilarious honesty her imperfect attempts at forging a new path for her family after divorce. Taylor provides fifteen nuggets of co-parenting wisdom, including:
- When to make decisions solo and when to consult your ex
- One thing children of divorce don’t want you to say
- How family and friends can help
- The surprising lesson from a boyfriend’s ex-wife
- The most impactful decision you can make
Redefine your family in new and positive ways—and build a better co-parenting relationship than you imagined.
