Laila Aitken is a divorcée turned divorce coach. She is the co-founder of Split.fyi, which is a virtual kindred community for people to turn to when they find themselves facing a very difficult time in their lives. It’s the new place to start a new chapter.

After her husband asked for a divorce while expecting their first child, she felt ashamed and blamed herself. She felt like she didn’t belong. It took strength and courage to look past her beliefs about marriage and for her to start believing in herself again. It was through that pain that she realised who she was. Laila was greater than the situation in her life and that was more important than the stigmas around divorce.

After spending a decade, trapped inside the family law system, she emerged with her masters in divorce!
