Endings Into

New Beginnings

Divorce is overwhelming — especially when you're trying to understand your housing options. I help you gain clarity around the marital home, your financial life, and your next steps — so you can move forward with confidence and peace.

You don't have to make these decisions alone — and you don't have to rush them either.

All guidance here is general education and support. For lender-approved mortgage planning, please visit my licensed mortgage site

Welcome

I’m Tami Wollensak.

Divorce shakes everything — your stability, your confidence, your plans, and especially your decisions around the home.

After walking my own path through divorce in 2015 and working more than 30 years in the mortgage world, I created Empowered Uncoupling to give you the clarity, direction, and emotional grounding I wish I had.

This is your safe space to understand your options, plan your next steps, and rebuild your future — one informed decision at a time.

You don't have to have it all figured out to take the next step.

Start Where You Are

Trying to Make Sense
of the House

Whether you’re wondering if you can keep the home, deciding whether selling makes sense, or trying to understand how equity fits into a settlement, this is where clarity begins. You’ll learn the questions to ask, the options available to you, and how today’s decisions affect your future — without pressure or rushed timelines.

Rebuilding Financial
Confidence

Divorce touches every corner of your financial life. Get support organizing what you have, understanding what you need, and creating a plan that brings steadiness and confidence back into your day-to-day life and long-term future.

Feeling Overwhelmed
or Stuck

If the emotional weight feels heavy — from co-parenting dynamics to identity shifts and decision fatigue — you’ll find compassionate tools and practical resources here to help you steady yourself and move forward at your own pace.

Get Your Free Support

You don’t have to navigate this season alone. I offer a collection of free, compassionate resources designed to bring clarity and calm—especially if you’re in the contemplation stage and trying to understand your options. From easy-to-understand guides and checklists to videos and reflections that support thoughtful, family-focused decisions, these resources are here to meet you where you are.

5 stars because I can’t give more. Things ended being complicated at the end due to my ex, but Tami and Barbara got everything sorted out and were so incredibly kind and pleasant to deal with. They made an absurdly stressful situation as painless as possible!
