Tears fell from my eyes as I made the final edits to the Trash the Dress: Stories of Celebrating Divorce in your 20s manuscript. During the past 16 months of this project, I pushed myself to physical and emotional limits. I suffered anxiety, battled a few months of insomnia, began yoga and took [...]

Oh, what a night! The second official Trash The Dress NJ/ NY meet-up was truly a bonding experience. Not only did I get to meet new local members, but I got to meet a divorcee from the UK as she backpacked her way through New York City. I learned no matter what country you’re [...]

That’s all I’m going to say. I can’t wait to tell you the proposal story, but I’m saving it for my book.  Turns out getting married in my twenties did lead me to happily ever after, just not the way I originally planned!  I love divorce! I love love.

Get the final word in your divorce by sending your ex-husband a Relationship Enders message. These hilarious cards abide by the slogan “Because nothing says I hate you like a greeting card.”

Valentine’s Day Cliché

I always thought of Valentine’s Day as a Hallmark holiday for people to publicly show off that they are in love and for singles to feel sad. I felt like a loser in high school when everyone was getting flowers from their boyfriends and I was eternally single. Luckily, as soon as I entered college, [...]
