We were lucky to catch up with Christin Becker recently and have shared our conversation below.

Christin, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

A defining moment in my journey came just as my divorce coaching business was beginning to gain momentum; I was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the midst of building something I was deeply passionate about, I was suddenly faced with one of the greatest challenges of my life.

I made the decision to stay the course for as long as I could. I continued showing up: networking, maintaining my social media presence, and honoring my commitment to my clients, while also navigating my health journey. When it became clear that I needed to pull back, I chose to be vulnerable and share my diagnosis publicly.

I let my community know that I was now battling breast cancer, while remaining committed to supporting my clients, just in a more sustainable way. That honesty and transparency created something powerful. Instead of slowing down my business, it deepened trust and connection. I actually began attracting more clients; women who saw in me a reflection of their own strength and possibility.

What I learned is that resilience is not about pretending everything is okay. It’s about showing up authentically, even in the hardest moments. By being raw and real, I gave my clients permission to believe that they, too, could navigate their own difficult journey. Divorce, like any major life challenge, is as much a mindset as it is a process. Healing begins with honesty, courage, and support.

I have created a framework of being BOLD while facing adversity. Believe, Own your Story, Lean into the Discomfort, and Do the Work.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

I’m a Certified Divorce Coach® dedicated to helping women, especially stay-at-home moms and those navigating high-conflict or grey divorce, move through one of the most difficult seasons of their lives with clarity, confidence, and a plan for what comes next.

My path into this work is deeply personal. I went through my own divorce and experienced firsthand the emotional overwhelm, financial uncertainty, and sense of losing control that so many women face. I realized there was a significant gap between legal guidance and true emotional and strategic support. Women weren’t just needing an attorney. They needed someone who could help them think clearly, regulate their emotions, and make empowered decisions during a time when everything feels uncertain. That realization led me to build my divorce coaching practice.

What I provide is both emotional support and strategic guidance. I help my clients understand the divorce process, prepare for conversations with attorneys, and avoid costly mistakes driven by fear or reactivity. I also guide them in rebuilding confidence, finding their voice, and creating a vision for their next chapter. Through my work, including one-on-one coaching and my monthly workshops covering the financial, legal, and emotional aspects of divorce, I aim to give women the tools, knowledge, and mindset they need to move forward with strength and stability.

What sets me apart is that I don’t just focus on one piece of the process. I support the whole woman. Divorce is not just a legal event; it’s an emotional, financial, and legal event. I act as a strategic partner, helping my clients stay grounded and focused so they can make decisions that align with their long-term well-being, not just short-term emotions. My approach is rooted in honesty, resilience, and empowerment.

A defining moment in my journey, and something I’m incredibly proud of, was continuing to grow my business while being diagnosed with breast cancer. During that time, I chose to be open and transparent about what I was going through. Rather than pulling away completely, I continued to support my clients while also honoring my own healing process. That experience deepened my connection with my clients and reinforced the belief that strength isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up authentically, even in the hardest moments.

What I want people to know about me and my work is this: you don’t have to go through divorce alone, and you don’t have to feel powerless. Another important point is that you have the opportunity to model for your children how to overcome adversity. What do you want them to say about how you handled this life’s transition? With the right support, you can move through this chapter with clarity, protect your future, and rebuild a life that feels stable, confident, and aligned with who you truly are.

My mission is simple. I want to help women not just survive divorce, but come out of it stronger, wiser, and fully empowered to create what’s next.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was the belief that strength meant holding everything together on my own.

For years, I thought I had to push through, stay quiet, and manage it all. Especially in my marriage and early in my divorce. That mindset carried into my business, too.

The real shift came when I was diagnosed with breast cancer while my business was taking off. I physically couldn’t do it all anymore, and I had to choose between burning out or being honest and allowing support in.

Sharing my journey publicly changed everything. It deepened trust, strengthened my business, and redefined what strength really means. It also allowed me to be vulnerable with my clients and understand what kind of support they needed.

Now I teach my clients the same thing: real strength isn’t doing it all alone, but knowing when to ask for support and permitting yourself to not have it all together.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?

Beyond training and knowledge, the most important factors for succeeding in my field are emotional intelligence, authenticity, and strong professional connections.

Divorce is an incredibly emotional and vulnerable time, so clients aren’t just looking for information. They need someone who can truly understand what they’re experiencing, help them regulate emotions, and guide them to make clear, grounded decisions.

Authenticity is just as important. Clients can feel when you’ve lived it, when you’re being real with them, and when you’re genuinely invested in their outcome. That trust is everything. Guiding my clients through the processes available and providing them with knowledge helps them gain confidence that they can get through this difficult journey.

Then there’s the power of professional connections. No one goes through a divorce with just one type of support. It requires a team. Having strong relationships with attorneys, financial professionals, therapists, and other specialists allows me to connect my clients with the right resources at the right time. It not only strengthens the outcomes for my clients but also positions me as a trusted, collaborative partner within a larger support network.

At the end of the day, it’s about creating a space where clients feel supported from every angle: emotionally, financially, and legally.
