High-Conflict Divorce Changes the Rules.

You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone.

If you’re trying to get through a high-conflict or emotionally abusive divorce, protect your children, and make smart decisions in a system that often feels overwhelming, you need more than legal advice. You need strategy, clarity, and support from someone who understands how this process actually works.

I’m Kate Anthony

High-conflict divorce coach, author of The D-Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage, and host of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast, recommended by The New York Times and ranked in the top 0.5% of podcasts worldwide.

For over 15 years I’ve helped women navigate coercive control, high-conflict divorce, custody battles, and the complicated emotional terrain that comes with them — through my coaching, programs, and Phoenix Rising, the community where women receive ongoing guidance during divorce.

Wherever you are in the process, there’s a place to begin.

Where are you in the process?

I'm Still Trying to Decide

You haven’t left — but something keeps pulling you back to the same question. Is this relationship actually healthy, or am I missing something? You’re trying to see clearly before deciding what comes next.

I'm Moving Through Divorce

The decision is made — or close enough. Now you need strategy for navigating divorce, custody, finances, and high-conflict dynamics. Phoenix Rising is where most women begin during this stage.

I Need One-on-One Support

Your situation is complex, high-stakes, or deeply personal. You need strategic one-on-one guidance tailored to your exact circumstances. This is where we work together privately.

Where Most
Women Start

If you’ve already decided the marriage is ending — or you’re in the middle of the divorce process — Phoenix Rising is the program most women begin with.

It’s an ongoing coaching community where I help women navigate the real challenges of divorce: custody decisions, legal strategy, high-conflict ex-partners, and the emotional upheaval that comes with it.

Instead of trying to figure everything out alone, you’ll have guidance, structure, and a community of women moving through the same process.

“Thank goodness for Kate Anthony.”

About Me

I’m Kate Anthony, a certified high-conflict divorce coach, the author of The D-Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage, and the host of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast.

For over 15 years, I’ve been the person women call when they can’t figure out who else to call — someone who understands the legal, financial, emotional, and psychological terrain of divorce, and who also just gets it in a way that’s hard to fake.

My work is feminist, trauma-informed, and fiercely practical. I’m not here to push you toward divorce or away from it. I’m here to help you get honest with yourself — and then help you do whatever comes next.

Whatever you're carrying right now

The confusion, the grief, the fear, the quiet relief — you’re allowed to want more for your life. Because you, my love, deserve to be happy.
