nobody prepares you for.
Now what?It’s what you say out loud when everything changes at once — and it’s the name of this place, because it was the only honest question left.
The same questions, over and over.
Now What grew out of Rachel Maksimovic’s podcast: honest conversations with Australian women navigating separation, divorce and solo motherhood. The episodes resonated. So did the questions in her DMs.
“Where do I find a good family lawyer?” “Will my finances be okay?” The same questions, from women who had nowhere obvious to look — because the answers existed, just scattered across government sites, legal jargon and half-remembered advice. So we put them in one place.
Three answers to it
Trustworthy help instead of scattered advice — free where it can be, honest about what costs money, and Australian-specific throughout.
Free checklists
13 interactive checklists covering the decision, safety, the legal process, money, housing and co-parenting. Emailed to you and yours to keep.
In-depth courses
For when you're ready to go deeper. Eight short modules each, with journal prompts and worksheets that save as you write.
People who get it
Lawyers, brokers, financial counsellors and therapists, recommended by the community and reviewed before they appear. Nobody pays to be listed.
