Some people think the word divorce is a negative word, but perhaps it should not be thought of in this way. Divorce may signify the end of an intimate relationship but it can also signify exciting new beginnings for the two people exiting the marriage. And not all marriages end in acrimony. Some former husbands and wives manage to retain a strong platonic relationship. With statistics suggesting that half of UK marriages end in divorce, divorce is a subject that forms part of everyday life. The Divorce Reset podcast is here to help people before and after divorce.

Olwen Jennings helps to empower and guide people through challenging times.
Before becoming a coach specialising in divorce, Olwen spent many years as a successful family lawyer. While she enjoyed helping people navigate difficult situations, she felt something was missing. The legal system often limited the scope of what she could do for her clients.
Olwen craved a deeper approach, one that addressed the emotional and personal aspects of divorce. You can hear more from Olwen and Gina in the Podcast.
In a previous life, Olwen worked as a Family Lawyer, dedicating herself to helping individuals navigate through some of life’s most challenging moments. Olwen believes her success stemmed from the empathy and genuine concern she showed for her clients. However, she found herself longing for a deeper connection and a more holistic approach to addressing their needs.
Motherhood shifted her perspective, prompting her to reevaluate her path. Olwen knew she wanted to continue helping others but in a more profound way. Thus, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and retrained as a Life Coach, guiding clients toward positive transformations in their lives and belief systems.
As her journey unfolded, Olwen delved into the realms of belief systems, the mind-body connection, and spirituality. From a young age, she had an innate ability to tune into energy fields, which led her to explore psychic abilities, Tarot and Angel cards, and Reiki healing. Embracing these gifts allowed me to offer a unique blend of readings, coaching, and healing to my clients.
