As divorce coaching continues to grow, social media has created a new form of authority built on relatability, lived experience, and audience trust. But when personal experience becomes guidance without clear ethical boundaries, what risks emerge for vulnerable individuals navigating divorce?

Tracy examines the difference between lived experience and professional competency, the ethical concerns surrounding unregulated influence in the divorce space, and why divorce coaching requires more than visibility and personal storytelling. She discusses how emotional vulnerability, algorithm driven platforms, and monetized audiences are reshaping the landscape of divorce support and why ethical standards matter now more than ever.

Topics discussed include:
• The rise of the divorce influencer phenomenon
• Why relatability is not the same as expertise
• The ethical risks of unregulated guidance during divorce
• Audience trust, monetization, and accountability
• Scope of practice in divorce coaching
• The importance of conflict informed and ADR aligned coaching
• Why divorce coaching requires training, structure, and ethical responsibility

This episode is a powerful call for greater clarity, professionalism, and accountability within the divorce coaching industry and a reminder that influence without responsibility can create real harm.
