ABOUT ME
Oh, hey!
If you’ve stumbled upon this page, you’re likely wondering:
- Who in the world even is this Michelle Dempsey-Multack person?
- How can she help me move on from divorce, navigate co-parenting better, and/or find my self-worth and confidence again as I put myself back out into the world?
These are great questions, and I don’t blame you, I’d be asking
the same.
To sum it up, I am a lot of things:
I am a mom, first and foremost, to my only daughter Bella.
I recently had the pleasure of becoming a stepmom to my stepdaughter Jolie, too, which has filled my heart in ways I never imagined. This happened when I married Jolie’s dad about a year ago. So, to sum it up, I’m a divorced, remarried mom & stepmom, who is co-parenting with her daughter’s father.
How does this help you?
Well, let’s just say I’m experienced. This is that “school of hard knocks, you gotta live it to learn it” kind of experience. For years now, I’ve been going off of that experience to help guide you through the three most important aspects of divorce; co-parenting, single motherhood, life after divorce in a number of ways:
- My Podcast, Moms Moving On
- Being on other people’s podcasts about divorce
- Writing all sorts of divorce articles for Parents & Scary Mommy
- Sharing my divorce and co-parenting experiences with all of you through Instagram
You see, after getting separated when my daughter was just two, and starting the process of divorce when all of my friends and the world around me seemed so damn happy and in love with their spouses, I naturally completely alone and utterly lost. I started putting my experiences out there as a way to appeal to other moms who were going through the same thing, because, well, there’s nothing better than having people in your life who “get it,” and I wanted to find MY people while making myself someone else’s person.
Then, because I am really committed to giving you the best guidance possible, I realized it was time to combine the whole “school of hard knocks” thing with real, research based knowledge, and became a Certified Life Coach as well as a National Association of Divorce Professionals’ Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®).
Boom.
Now here is the more professional, LinkedIn version of Michelle Dempsey-Multack’s background:
Michelle is a writer, mom, coach, speaker, and genuine girl power enthusiast. Michelle attended American University as a Journalism major, graduated Hofstra University’s Communications program with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, and then earned a Double Masters Degree in Education from Adelphi University.
Originally from New York, Michelle grew up fascinated by the hustle and bustle of New York City. She was aching to “make it” as something, anything, ever since 9th grade.
“I remember walking into my first day of high school, and one of my teachers announcing “Whoa, this one is powerful – we’re going to have to watch out for her,” Michelle recalls. That sentence has always stuck with her and has motivated her to always keep moving, harder and faster, toward her dreams.
Michelle moved to Miami in her late 20’s where the “second part of her life” began. She married her daughter’s father and they brought beautiful Bella into the world. Years later, Michelle remarried her now-husband Spencer, and they live in North Miami Beach where they are raising their beautiful blended family, sneaking in as many ski trips as possible, going to every concert they can, and truly enjoying this new phase of their lives.
