“…Lifequake: a forceful burst of change that leads to a period of upheaval, transition, and renewal.” – Bruce Feiler, Life Is In The Transitions
Divorce is one of life’s biggest disruptors—an earthquake that can shake everything loose. It throws routines off course, rearranges relationships, and forces you to look at the road ahead with new eyes. But disruption isn’t always a bad thing. As Bruce Feiler writes in Life Is in the Transitions, these “lifequakes” might rattle us, but they also offer a rare opportunity to rebuild with intention.
Feiler describes a disruption as “an event or experience that interrupts the everyday flow of one’s life.” It’s not good or bad—it’s simply a change. Divorce is just that: a shift. And while it’s a big one, it doesn’t have to define you or derail you. In fact, this turning point can become a moment of clarity—a time to reflect, realign, and reimagine what’s next.
You’re still the author of your own story. This is just a new chapter.
The Power of How You Respond
What matters most isn’t the disruption itself, but how you respond to it. Feiler reminds us that agency—the ability to choose and act—is our most powerful tool during times of transition. That’s especially true in divorce. The choices you make now—especially about how you divorce—can shape the future you’re building.
A Better Way Forward
The traditional divorce path is often long, expensive, and adversarial. It can leave families drained and more divided than ever. But there’s another (and better!) way.
My name is Kary Watson, founder of Together You Part. I believe divorce should be structured, supported, and centered on mutual respect. Together You Part’s five-step process helps couples move through separation with less conflict and more clarity.
Mediation with Together You Part lets you stay in the driver’s seat, creating solutions that reflect your family, your values, and your future.
You can move through the disruption with a steady hand on the wheel:
- Less financial strain: Together You Part’s flat-fee packages make mediation more affordable.
- Less emotional overwhelm: The TYP Way℠ keeps things calm, focused, and forward-moving.
- More control: You and your partner make the decisions—not a judge, not a lawyer.
Together, we will turn this lifequake into a launchpad for a brand new beginning.
