Divorce can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and often, alcohol becomes a coping mechanism. But what happens when you're ready to step off that ride? This week on The Moving On Method®, we're diving into how to redefine your relationship with alcohol after divorce. Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by recovery coach Colleen Kachmann who opens up about her own journey with alcohol that led her to helping others. Together Michelle and Colleen will educate listeners on

• Signs that you are using alcohol to cope
• How to establish and maintain healthy boundaries around alcohol consumption

Colleen helps women bypass the stigma and drama that society associates with sobriety by focusing on what’s really important – our relationship with ourselves. Her passion is to help women liberate themselves from the oppressive belief that there is something fundamentally broken or flawed about them so that they can unlock a higher level of purpose, passion, and power.

Colleen holds a Bachelors of Science in education, a Masters of Science in coaching, and a women’s functional and integrative medicine professional certificate.

Welcome to the Moving On Method®, formerly known as The Moms Moving On Divorce and Co-Parenting Podcast. Navigating divorce as a parent can be tough. Navigating co-parenting as a divorced parent can be tougher. Welcome to the Moving On Method® podcast, a place where the realities of divorce and single parenting meet educated and informed insight, hosted by me, Michelle Dempsey-Multack, educator, co-parenting and divorce specialist, bestselling author, the founder of the Moving On Method®; a method of helping parents give their children a co-parented experience they won't need to recover from.

Jess is a single mom of two, Michelle’s assistant and lead coach at the Moving On Method®. She has worked alongside Michelle for years and takes a child centered approach to co-parenting. Jess was a SAHM while going through her divorce in 2018 and the thought of spending time away from her kids broke her heart. She quickly learned that it isn’t always about the quantity of time spent with her kids, rather the quality. Her and her children live in Wisconsin and love everything the Midwest has to offer. As a family, they enjoy watching football, playing golf, getting outside and creating fun memories together. When Jess is not with her kids, she is spending time with her new partner, golfing and enjoying time with her girlfriends. As a child of divorce who has no relationship with her father, Jess wanted to ensure her children grew up having a strong relationship with both of their parents.

As a coach, Jess is passionate about empowering her clients and helping them move on emotionally after the divorce is final. She works closely with her clients to help them find new ways to fill their cup as they enter the world of co-parenting. She also enjoys working with clients to create a child-centered parenting plan that is fine tuned to avoid any grey area. If you are looking for support during or after the divorce, Jess would be honored to work with you.
