Founding Employer Seats · through December 31

Someone on your team is handling a divorce between meetings.

You may not know who. You don’t need to. Buy a few seats of Start Where You Are and hand a private code to anyone who could use it. They sign up with their own email and start on their own time.

Why a manager buys a seat

You’ve noticed. You don’t know what to say.

Jess has been on your team for four years, and she’s the one people go to. This month her camera is off in standup. She’s moved Thursday’s meeting twice and didn’t say why. She took a call in the parking lot and came back in with her coat still on. Her work is mostly still there.

You’ve noticed, and you’ve said nothing, because nobody told you what to say.

WorriedAbout Jess, about the Q1 deadline, and a little guilty for thinking about the deadline at all.

UnsureAsk the wrong question and it’s an HR problem. Say nothing and she thinks nobody noticed.

Helpless“The EAP number is on the intranet” doesn’t feel like help, and you can’t fix what’s happening at home.

A seat gives you something to hand over that asks nothing of her: “This is here if it’s useful. No need to tell me anything.” She opens it privately. You never see what she writes, and you don’t need to know a single detail of her life to have helped.

What one seat is

One person’s full program, for at least twelve months.

A seat is everything in Start Where You Are, for one employee, under their own login. Nobody shares an account, and nobody at work can see inside it.

The working binderEleven sections, printable or fillable on their own device. Each one ends with something finished: a page, a list, a plan.

Short video lessonsOne for each part of the binder, with captions. They watch someone fill in the page, so a hard week still gets one page done.

Twelve reference filesOpened only when they fit: the interim, time with the children, before you agree, money and disclosure, military families, high conflict, relocation, no attorney yet, and more.

Help and privacyEmail help within two business days. Privacy and safety pages up front, and the domestic violence hotline on every page.

Look inside

Real pages from the binder.

Start Where You Are page: The binder — **The binder**Their working file. Printed or on their own device.

Start Where You Are page: What is true today — **What is true today**Section 1: ten lines, in pencil, with a made-up household’s example.

Start Where You Are page: My documents — **My documents**Section 3: eight lists, each with where it lives and the date.

Start Where You Are page: My questions — **My questions**Section 9: ranked, with who it’s for and room for the answer.

Start Where You Are page: The next ninety days — **The next ninety days**Section 10: what happens, who owns it, by when.

Scroll to see more. Examples use made-up households, never anyone’s real situation.

What your employee walks away with

Eleven sections. Each one answers a question they’re carrying.

They skip what doesn’t fit. Nobody has to decide anything to start; “I don’t know yet” counts as an answer.

01Where I amToday on one page, and a dated list for the next thirty days. Because nobody can plan from a fog.

02What is aheadA map of the whole process, marked with where they stand. So the next stage is a step, not a cliff.

03My documentsEvery account, deed, policy and statement, with where it lives written beside it. So they don’t pay by the hour to find their own paperwork.

04My money pictureWhat they have, what they owe, and what to ask a professional. Before anyone asks them to agree to anything.

05My peopleAttorney, mediator, EAP, legal plan, and who each one works for. So they know who is on their side of the table.

06My legal benefitThe questions to ask a legal plan or EAP, if your company offers one, and a record of the answers. So the benefit you pay for gets used well.

07WorkA decision about what to tell work, if anything, and a calendar for the quarter. So appointments and deadlines stop colliding.

08My timelineA dated record with a source beside every entry. Because memory isn’t enough when someone asks when.

09My questionsA ranked list to carry into a consultation. The most expensive minutes are the ones spent figuring out what to ask.

10My next ninety daysA dated plan, with who owns each piece. A crisis turned into a schedule they can keep while working.

11Where to go from hereThree doors, and which one is theirs. They leave knowing the next step.

Built by an educator, not an attorney. Educational material only: it ends where a licensed professional begins.

Why it matters

For the person, and for the business they still show up to.

For your employee

Nobody has to ask. It’s handed over before they need to say the words “I’m getting divorced.”
The cost question is gone. When money feels least certain, the first tool is already paid for.
It tells them they can be a whole person at work. Their employer expected life to happen, and planned for it.
They walk in prepared. To the attorney, the mediator, the EAP, with their papers in one place and their questions ranked.
It stays theirs. What they write never leaves their own paper or device.

For your business

Support for a life event your benefits may skip. Practical help through a major transition, without managing anyone’s personal situation.
The benefits you already pay for work harder. Employees arrive at the EAP and legal plan knowing what to ask.
Managers get something to say. A real offer instead of “let me know if you need anything.”
Privacy is built in. Totals only, never names. Nobody has to disclose anything to HR.
Nothing new to run. One code, handed over privately. No training, no case management.

Your EAP helps them talk it through. Your legal plan helps them get legal advice. Start Where You Are helps them prepare for everything in between.

Supporting someone through divorce isn’t endorsing divorce. It’s supporting the employee who’s already in it.

How common this is

How it works

Four steps, and you only do the first two.

Choose your seatsPay by card below. Your statement reads VALUED SALES MDBWY.

Get your codeWithin one business day we email you one code, good for the number of seats you bought.

Hand it overIn person, in a message, in a card. You choose who, and when.

They start privatelyThey sign up with any email they choose. Their pages stay theirs.

What to say when you hand it over“I got this for anyone on the team going through a big change at home. It’s yours if it’s useful. No need to tell me anything.”

Codes don’t expire. Course access runs at least twelve months from the day each person signs up.

Questions

The details.

Do I need to know who it’s for?

No. Buy seats now and keep the code until someone needs it. You never have to ask anyone about their situation.

What will we see?

How many seats have been used. Never names, what anyone viewed, anything they write, or any question they ask. Employees sign up with their own email.

Does it replace our EAP or legal plan?

No. Your EAP helps them talk it through. A legal plan helps them get legal advice. Start Where You Are helps them prepare for both, and one section is the questions to ask a legal plan first.

Is this legal advice?

No. It’s education and preparation, built by an educator, not an attorney. It doesn’t cover state procedure, filings or deadlines, and it doesn’t give legal, financial or clinical advice.

How does the founding credit work?

If your organization signs a Cover it license that starts in 2027, the amount you paid for Founding Employer Seats bought by December 31, 2026 is credited against the first year.

Can we be recognized for offering it?

If you’d like. After checkout we’ll ask whether to list you as a Supporting Employer on divorceclarityatwork.com. It’s opt-in, nothing posts without your written OK, and it never says or implies anyone at your company is going through a separation.

Can we get a refund for unused seats?

All sales are final. Codes don’t expire, so unused seats stay available. If a code doesn’t work, email [email protected] and we’ll fix it.

What if safety is part of someone’s situation?

The National Domestic Violence Hotline is listed on every page of the program, available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788. The program never screens.

Choose your seatsYour code arrives by email within one business day.

Payment

Educational material only. Not legal advice, not benefits advice, and not employment advice. The author is not an attorney, and nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship. If safety is any part of an employee’s situation, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788.
