Meet kim

I chose to leave the corporate world in 2017 to pursue what I feel is my mission in life -- to provide guidance and support to those going through and coming out of the divorce process. Having gotten married and divorced in my 20s, despite having a law degree, I was astounded by how much I did not know going into my own divorce. I additionally found that there were very few tools and resources available to those navigating the process.

Starting When It's Knot Forever was an act of me turning my pain into my purpose in order to support others surrounding divorce and help them avoid making some of the same mistakes that I did. I became the coach that I desperately needed during that difficult period of my life because I feel that no one should have to go through their divorce alone. 

When I'm not assisting clients, I enjoy running, hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and taking yoga classes. I love to travel, geek out on wine, spend time with my dog (a puggle named Clover), and forge new connections.
