How to Sleep Your Way Through Divorce: Renew: 1:1 Program

It’s time to stop lying awake replaying arguments, court dates, and “what if’s”. Find clarity, calm, and rest while navigating divorce.

I’m Alanna McGinn, Certified Divorce Specialist® and Sleep & Stress Expert. Together, using my signature two-track framework, focusing on your legal track and wellness track, we’ll create your Renew Divorce Plan, to help you come out stronger, prepared, and ready to start your new life.

Sleepless, Stressed, and Overwhelmed by Divorce?

Divorce doesn’t just challenge you legally. It takes a toll on your body, mind, and sleep. That’s why, as your Divorce Coach, I created Renew, my private divorce coaching program designed to support you through every layer of this transition.

In this personalized 1:1 experience, we’ll work together using my signature two-track framework:

  • The Legal Track: Get organized, streamline paperwork, and communicate more effectively with your lawyer or mediator, so you save time, money, and stress.

  • The Wellness Track: Build a personalized plan to reduce anxiety, calm racing thoughts, and finally get the deep, restorative sleep you need to think clearly and move forward with strength.

With me as your Divorce Coach and Sleep & Stress Expert, you’ll have expert guidance and compassionate support to help you manage the overwhelm, protect your health, and step into your next chapter feeling grounded and in control.

Divorce can feel like a storm that never ends. The late-night worry spirals, the endless paperwork, the emotional rollercoaster of parenting schedules, lawyer emails, and court dates. You’re exhausted, yet you can’t sleep. You’re overwhelmed, yet you have to stay organized.

And while your lawyer is focused on the legal process, and your therapist is focused on your emotions, who’s helping you manage both at the same time, while also taking care of your health?

That’s where Sleep Your Way Through Divorce comes in.

You don’t need to power through. You need support that meets you exactly where you are. Emotionally, legally, and mentally.

Two Tracks. One Journey. A Stronger You.

Does This Sound Like You?

Legal & Organizational Overwhelm

  • Feeling buried under endless divorce paperwork and legal forms.

  • Not knowing what documents to gather or how to organize them.

  • Sending long, emotional emails to their lawyer and paying for it.

  • Confusion about mediation, custody agreements, or settlement.

  • Fear of making mistakes on important documents.

Emotional & Mental Health Exhaustion

  • Feeling overwhelmed, scattered, and unable to think clearly.

  • Feeling alone or unsupported even with a lawyer and therapist.

  • Struggling to imagine a future beyond divorce.

  • Anger, resentment, self-doubt, and fear dominating daily thoughts.

  • Anxiety around every email or phone call from your ex.

Sleep Loss and Stress Burnout

  • Lying awake at night, replaying arguments or court scenarios.

  • Waking up at 3 a.m. with racing thoughts about money, kids, or the future.

  • Using wine, Netflix, or scrolling as a coping strategy instead of rest.

  • Living in a constant state of fight-or-flight.

  • Struggling to juggle work, home, and divorce logistics.

Identity & Future Fear and Anxiety

  • Fear of financial insecurity (“Will I be okay on my own?”).

  • Worrying about dividing assets fairly, budgets, debts, or hidden assets.

  • Feeling like divorce has stolen their sense of self.

  • Feeling too exhausted to think about the future.

  • Worry that life will never feel peaceful again.

“I thought I’d never sleep again during my divorce. After two weeks in this program, I finally had my first full night’s rest.” – Jennifer L.

It happened to Me

At 45 I was navigating the legalities of divorce, major financial changes, making sure I was being the best mom to my 3 teens to help them through the process, dealing with the fears and anxieties of the unknown future, all while continuing to live with my ex.

Talk about stressful!

Even as a Certified Sleep Coach, since 2007, my sleep took a hit. I was lying awake at night replaying arguments, worrying about money, and dreading what tomorrow might bring. My stress was at an all-time high, and I knew that if I didn’t get it under control, it would impact not only my health but also the decisions I had to make during my divorce.

Since then, and in becoming a Certified Divorce Specialist®, I realized something important: divorce isn’t just about the legal process or the emotional process, it’s both, happening at the same time. And the only way through it is with a framework that supports both sides of the journey.

That’s why I developed How to Sleep Your Way Through Divorce.

This program was built out of my own experience and what I wish I had during that difficult time. It’s not about just surviving your divorce. It’s about managing it with clarity, calm, and the energy to step into your next chapter with strength.

And if you’re in the middle of your own sleepless nights and overwhelming days, this program was made for you.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. With the right guidance, you can stay organized, protect your energy, and move forward with confidence, even when life feels upside down.

This is Exactly How You’ll Feel…

Sleep Your Way Through Divorce is built on over 18 years of supporting women through life’s biggest transitions. I understand what you need during this overwhelming season, and I’ve created a divorce coaching program that gives you the legal support, organizational strategies, and wellness tools to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more in control without adding to your stress.

You want to get through your divorce feeling supported, not more overwhelmed trying to figure it all out alone.

Forget the endless online searches, late-night stress spirals, and emotional emails to your lawyer. Sleep Your Way Through Divorce combines legal organization, emotional support, and proven sleep and stress strategies into a clear, step-by-step program that actually works.

  • You’ll feel calm and clear-headed even when facing tough decisions. No more drowning in paperwork or second-guessing every step.

  • You’ll have a personalized legal and wellness roadmap designed for your unique situation, so you always know what to do next.

  • You’ll stop the 3 a.m. stress wake-ups and finally sleep through the night without your mind racing about court dates, money, or your ex.

  • You’ll gain confidence in your ability to navigate the process with less fear, less confusion, and more strength.

  • You’ll wake up with energy to manage parenting schedules, work, and life without feeling like divorce has taken everything out of you.

  • You’ll finally feel supported on all sides emotionally, legally, and physically instead of having to piece it all together on your own.

  • You’ll finally keep your stress levels in check helping you quiet your mind at night and sleep more restfully throughout the night.

  • You’ll reclaim your sense of self and your future by reducing stress, protecting your health, and rebuilding confidence one step at a time.

  • Your divorce won’t define you. You’ll have the tools to sleep, stress less, and step forward with clarity into the next chapter of your life.

  • And best of all?
    You’ll become your own strongest advocate supported every step of the way with expert guidance, structure, and care.

“This program helped me feel like I wasn’t drowning in paperwork. The forms checklist alone saved me hours with my lawyer and money on legal fees.” – Sarah M.

Divorce Coach vs. Lawyer or Mediator: What’s the Difference?

Divorce Coach
  • Helps you stay organized with paperwork, deadlines, and communication.

  • Coaches you how to communicate effectively (so you don’t send long, emotional, billable emails).

  • Provides emotional support and coping strategies so you can think clearly when making big decisions.

  • Helps you create a wellness plan so you sleep better, stress less, and stay grounded.

  • Keeps you focused on the big picture and your future, not just the crisis of the moment.

Divorce Lawyer/Mediator
  • Focuses on the legal process: filing documents, negotiations, and court.

  • Provides legal advice and represents you in mediation or court.

  • Helps you reach agreements on custody, assets, and settlements.

  • Focuses on your legal rights and obligations, not your health or stress.

  • Focuses on the current divorce proceedings and their outcomes.

Your lawyer is your legal expert. Your divorce coach is your clarity, organization, and wellness expert. Together, they make a powerful team.

Why I Created This Program for You

When I was in the thick of my divorce, I remember wishing there was someone who could help me with both sides of the struggle.

The endless legal tasks and the sleepless nights and stress that came with them.

My lawyer handled the legal process. My therapist helped me process my emotions. But there was a huge gap in the middle where I was left overwhelmed, disorganized, and exhausted.

That gap is exactly why I created How to Sleep Your Way Through Divorce.

As a Certified Divorce Specialist® and Sleep & Stress Expert, I’ve taken my professional training and personal experience to build a framework that doesn’t just give you tools for the legal process or tips for wellness, but a roadmap that connects them.

Because the truth is:

  • When you’re calm and rested, you make better decisions.

  • When you’re organized, you save time, money, and stress.

  • And when you feel supported, you stop feeling like you’re carrying it all alone.

This program exists because I know how hard divorce can be, and I know how much lighter, clearer, and more manageable it feels when you have the right support.

Hi, I’m Alanna, founder of Good Night Sleep Site, host of The Bedtime Edit podcast, mom of three, and Certified Divorce Coach & Sleep Expert.

And I’ve been exactly where you are.

At 45, I went through my own divorce. Navigating the legal process, managing major financial changes, raising teenagers, and living under the same roof as my ex for a year and a half (something I wouldn’t recommend to anyone).

My sleep? Gone.
My stress levels? Through the roof.
My energy, focus, and confidence? Completely drained.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: I had the training.

For over 18 years, I’ve worked with families, professionals, and major brands like:

  • IKEA

  • Warner Bros.

  • Dermalogica

  • Linktree

  • Bayer

  • Unilever

  • Air Miles

…helping them sleep better, stress less, and protect their wellbeing.

But when I was in the middle of divorce, even with all my experience, I hit a wall. I realized something was missing: a way to bridge the legal overwhelm with the emotional and physical toll of stress and sleepless nights.

That’s why I created How to Sleep Your Way Through Divorce.

It’s the program I wish I had. A compassionate, practical, and science-backed framework that helps you stay organized, lower your stress, and finally get the rest you need while navigating divorce.

Because you don’t have to keep powering through.
You don’t have to live with 3 a.m. wakeups or emotional exhaustion.
And you definitely don’t have to go through divorce alone.

I’ve taken everything I know, from my professional training to my personal journey, and built a clear, doable path back to sleep, calm, and confidence as you move through one of life’s hardest transitions.

I’ve done the hard work for you.

Now it’s your turn to rest.
To reset.
To put YOU first.

Because you deserve more than just surviving divorce.

You deserve to sleep your way through it.

Why you need a divorce coach

Hiring a lawyer or mediator is essential in divorce but they’re not enough on their own. Your lawyer will handle the legal filings, and your mediator will guide settlement talks. But if you’ve been struggling to keep your head above water during divorce, you already know: this isn’t just about legal steps.

Because divorce isn’t only a legal process.

It’s emotional, mental, physical, and deeply personal.

Here’s what’s really happening: During divorce, women’s stress levels often reach an all-time high. You’re juggling endless paperwork, parenting schedules, money worries, and the emotional weight of major life change.

That constant stress shows up everywhere:

It keeps you awake at 3 a.m. replaying conversations or court scenarios.

It clouds your thinking when you need to make critical decisions.

It fuels emotional emails to your lawyer that cost you extra money.

It drains your energy so even the simplest tasks feel impossible.

A divorce coach helps where your lawyer and mediator can’t. By giving you tools to manage the overwhelm, reduce the stress, and regain clarity. Because when your mind is calmer and your body is rested, you’ll make better decisions, save money, and move forward with more strength.

What does this mean?

While understanding the legal side of divorce is critical, learning how to manage the stress, overwhelm, and sleepless nights that come with it is just as important. The truth is, you can’t think clearly, stay organized, or make strong decisions if you’re running on empty.

Getting a handle on your stress and anxiety equals better sleep. And better sleep makes it easier to manage the stress, legal tasks, and emotional rollercoaster you’re facing right now. The two work hand-in-hand.

It’s time

It’s time to put a plan in motion. A plan that helps you stay calm, get organized, and finally sleep again as you move through your divorce. Just by being here, you’ve taken a powerful step toward protecting your health and your future.

The Sleep Your Way Through Divorce program was designed from years of experience working with women just like you. Women navigating the legal system, rebuilding their lives, and trying to hold it all together.

Inside each lesson, you’ll find practical tools, digital downloads, and guided strategies that will support you step-by-step, so you can manage the legal, emotional, and physical sides of divorce with more clarity and less stress.
