Digital abuse is more common than most people realize.

When people hear the term “domestic violence,” they often think of physical behavior.

What many don’t know is that abuse often occurs with technology.

Over the years, I have worked with clients who discovered GPS trackers on vehicles, hidden cameras, monitoring software, and other forms of digital surveillance they were completely unaware of.

We often hire forensic experts whose sole job is to inspect our client’s homes, vehicles, and devices to make sure there are no hidden tracking devices, cameras, bugs, or other forms of monitoring.

That is why awareness around this topic is so important.

Many people do not recognize these behaviors as abuse until someone helps them identify the signs.

If you notice something concerning, trust your instincts. If you notice warning signs in a friend, family member, coworker, or even a stranger, don’t ignore them.

Offering support or helping someone access resources can make all the difference.

Everyone deserves to be safe from any kind of harm. If you are concerned about your safety or privacy, know that support, resources, and advocacy are available, often at no cost.

The right support system can change the entire trajectory of your life.

One of my favorite things about this group of friends is that together we represent so many different chapters of a person’s journey.

Sometimes someone needs help navigating a divorce. That is where I come in, helping families move through the legal process with a thoughtful approach.

Sometimes they need support managing the emotional side of divorce or co-parenting. That is where Jenny Stevens does incredible work as a coach.

Sometimes they are looking for education, resources, and guidance from someone who has spent decades helping families navigate divorce. That is where Susan Guthrie shines.

And sometimes they are ready to rebuild their confidence, put themselves back out there, and find a new healthy relationship. That is where Bela Gandhi comes in.

Different areas of expertise. Different chapters of the journey. But one shared mission: helping people navigate change and create a future they can be hopeful and excited about.

I am grateful not only for the work these women do, but for the friendship, wisdom, and inspiration they bring into my life.
