Before you dive right in, I want to explain to you what this course is and why it was created. Hi, I’m Jenny Bradley, Founder of Triangle Smart Divorce in Cary, North Carolina. We’ve helped so many smart people avoid stupid mistakes when getting divorced. Now, I’m on a quest to help smart people avoid stupid mistakes when dating. Why? Because my mission doesn’t stop with the divorce. We are in the business of helping people transform and create a better future. Divorce is just part of a transformative process. I’m not fully living out my purpose if I don’t help people as they jump into the dating pool. The irony isn’t lost on me that a divorce lawyer is assembling a course on dating after divorce.

At first, it might seem that I would be more qualified to write about how to end a relationship, not how to start one. But here’s the thing. After more than twenty years of being a divorce lawyer, I’ve seen a lot, heard a lot, and learned a lot about relationships, what makes them work, and what makes them fail. I’m sick and tired of seeing people make the same mistakes when they start dating again after their divorce. So, I decided to do something about it. I have called upon experts in their fields to drop truth bombs about how to succeed at dating after divorce. There are common themes in all the chapters. Be authentic. Be yourself. Be self-aware. Learn how to communicate what you need and what you want. We hope you enjoy the course and take away several action items to implement in the next chapter of your life.
