Her ground-breaking book, Divorce Well & Thrive: Your Guide to Being Your Best Self Under the Worst Circumstances, has earned a dual spotlight for the event: it will be prominently showcased at Heather Marianna’s main gifting table, with the chance to speak with the author, Liz at the 262 Booth.

“To be in the room where culture is shaped, at the Oscars Gifting Lounge, representing both my personal mission and the collective power of the 262 Women’s Movement is a profound honor,” says Liz Goll Lerner. “My goal with ‘Divorce Well & Thrive’ has always been to transform a painful transition into a catalyst for personal evolution and family healing. Bringing that message of resilience to Hollywood’s biggest week is a testament to the fact that empowerment is always in style.”

Throughout the week, Liz will be engaging with media and celebrities to discuss the “Your Inspired Choices®” philosophy and her work with the Enlightened Communication Institute®. Her participation highlights the growing trend of “Conscious Hollywood,” where wellness and personal growth resources are becoming as sought-after as luxury fashion and beauty.

Divorce Well and Thrive® on the 262 International Stage

For Liz, this wasn’t just a speaking gig; it’s a strategic and deeply meaningful part of her book’s journey. Her book, Divorce Well and Thrive®: Your Guide to Being Your Best Self Under the Worst Circumstances, released in December 2024, is her magnum opus – a guide that reframes divorce from a devastating ending into a powerful opportunity for personal growth. The 262 Women’s Movement is the perfect vehicle for this message. It’s a space where women are already discussing resilience, transformation, and creating new legacies.

Stepping onto the world stage at the Ireland summit, Liz delivered an unforgettable address that elevated the conversation around divorce. She didn’t just speak about navigating separation; she offered a blueprint for doing so with grace and dignity, proving that through communication and kindness, profound positive change is possible. Liz’s comprehensive knowledge, detailed in her newest book, provided vital insights for everyone: from strengthening new relationships to guiding those currently facing or considering divorce toward a more peaceful path. This incredible partnership is a living example of what happens when women champion each other. As an architect of change and a driving force in the 262 Women’s Movement, Liz Goll Lerner is preparing a generation of women to move past simply surviving and into a space where they can truly thrive.

Thanksgiving is coming. People are sharing concerns about how to speak with relatives of different political views or how not to speak with them at all.

Friends wonder how to have a conversation without branching into troublesome territory.

The known or understood has become fragile.

Even conversations with people of like mind can be tricky. Some want to avoid subjects because emotions may run high and may trigger their own emotions that haven’t yet been figured out.

So, what does one do?

Here are a few thoughts:

• Love is love- coming together with family or friends can be framed simply with love. We are together. Let’s find each other in our mutual care
• Holidays can be difficult no matter what, so create an intention of what will work for you this holiday and choose your roadmap.
• For example, setting a goal, a tone, or a desired mood for oneself can help keep difficulties at bay.
• Know when it is time to take a break from festivities or conversations and get out in nature or find a yoga class. Focus on self-care.
• Some families have creative traditions. Doing something together is often the best remedy. If not a tradition, an outing, or cooking or baking together.

When it comes to those potentially difficult conversations take a breath, step back (inside yourself), and decide who you are and how you want to show up.

• That may mean saying, “I’m taking the day off from complicated (you choose your phrase) concerns and focusing on relaxing together.” Then, possibly suggest an activity or a new topic.
• You may choose to embark on the conversational journey and agree to disagree.
• You may choose to embark, and if emotions start to rise even when in agreement, you may comment on a method you’ve found that helps you feel better or more neutral.For example, “I don’t know about you, but I have found that when I get really upset, I just end up feeling worse.” “I’ve been trying to catch myself and take a breath, feel my feet on the ground, and remember I’m OK in this moment, and it helps me feel better.”

Whatever you choose I wish you a lovely Thanksgiving weekend.

Quick tip:

What is your goal for the day?
