Break: Write Your Divorce Story Class
This 2–hour class is designed for women with limited time who want the basic fundamentals of how to write a divorce story for their personal/legal file. Class will cover the narrative of marriage, divorce, family, and gender and how this affects women’s understanding and perception of self and divorce. Students learn the Divorce Story Structure and begin to write their divorce story for your personal/legal file on your own. Class is suitable for any stage of divorce.
The origins of the Divorce Story Structure:
The Divorce Story Structure was developed as a result of my counsel asking me to write the story of my marriage. Writing my divorce story, submitting it to my legal file, and storing it as a personal record shifted the outcome of my divorce across all arenas: emotionally, financially, spiritually, intellectually. It was key to moving forward in my life. Divorce Story Structure gives you the tools to be able to write the truth about who you were and how you navigated the world. Writing your truth to power is an act of courage and wisdom. To bravely state your position is to know who you are in this world. The truth is compelling. And if you can stand in your truth there is nothing that you cannot do. A Divorce Story reflects your past beliefs and obliges a shifted authorial perspective on divorce.
I developed the Divorce Story Structure to write my own story and this is the tool that I present in class. Having taught writing for many years, I know that structure enables individuals to write with more confidence. When you brave writing your truth to power, the reader knows. Divorce Story Structure changed my life, I know it can do the same for you.

Nick Shigeoka –
Normally, Dr. Stephanie Han offers this class only to women, but she was gracious enough to offer me a 1 on 1 version of the class to me (a man). I work as a divorce attorney and wanted to gain a better perspective on the experience of women as they face down their divorce, and I feel I gained exactly that.
Dr. Stephanie examines the history of writing itself- in terms of its facilitation of business and law, both of which have historically been, and largely still are male dominated. Further, she explores how language, vocabulary, and the process of writing one’s own Divorce Story is a key component to facing adversity and self-actualization in divorce.
Keeping the trauma of divorce internally contained and repressed can be too much for any one person to handle, so the process of writing the Divorce Story helps to cope, find peace, and produce a document with actual legal, persuasive power. I highly recommend the class to anyone contemplating or facing divorce.

This workshop has been a game-changer for me in overcoming writer’s block and finally embarking on the journey of crafting my divorce story. Stephanie Han’s guidance provides a clear and supportive structure that empowered me to delve into deeply personal experiences. Through the guidance on structure, I gained a newfound clarity in understanding my personal narrative. The short, timed writing exercises during the session have not only jumpstarted my writing, but have also paved the way for profound self-exploration and reflection. If you find yourself intimidated by the blank page and want to give voice to your divorce story, then this workshop is an absolute must!
