Interview with Divorce Coach Trisha Allan of MyDivorceAlly.ca
By Aaron Muller – South Surrey Real Estate Advisor
Divorce is more than a relationship ending—it’s a life transition that affects your finances, identity, and yes, even your home.
As a real estate agent based in South Surrey, I’ve worked with many clients navigating separation. And while the legal and financial aspects are huge, so are the emotions. That’s why I teamed up with Trisha Allan, Divorce Coach and founder of MyDivorceAlly.ca, to talk about how we can support people during this challenging time—together.
🎧 Understanding Our Roles: Coach + Realtor = Balanced Support
Trisha and I both help clients through stressful, life-altering transitions—but from different angles.
➡️ I assist with the logistics: selling, buying, relocating, and understanding market value.
➡️ Trisha helps with emotional clarity, conflict reduction, and identity shifts.
Together, we guide people through the practical AND emotional sides of separation and real estate. As Trisha says:
“Divorce is layered. My job is to reduce emotional overwhelm so clients can make strong, grounded decisions.”
🚩 Common Pitfalls (And How to Avoid Them)
Whether it’s indecision, overpricing out of spite, or clinging to the family home out of fear—emotions often run the show during separation. Trisha and I have seen it all.
Some common divorce + real estate mistakes:
Letting emotions dictate financial choices
Avoiding hard conversations
Power struggles over the home or agent
Unresolved legal issues complicating the sale
Our advice:
Start building your support team early. Even if you’re not ready to sell or separate yet, gathering information and guidance early brings clarity and reduces anxiety.
💡 What Works? Practical Tips from the Experts
Here are a few strategies we recommend to clients:
Separate emotional decisions from financial ones
Have honest (but calm) conversations with your support team
Create space to pause and reflect—not react
Don’t wait until you’re “sure” to explore your options
Trisha helps people navigate emotional grief and overwhelm. I help people understand their options in the current real estate market. Together, we give clients the confidence to move forward.
❓ “But What If It’s a Bad Market?”
Trisha asked a great question during our interview:
“What if it’s not a good time to sell—should people still consider it during a divorce?”
Here’s my answer:
It’s always about context.
If staying in the home is hurting your mental health or holding you back from rebuilding, we explore what’s possible now. Sometimes the emotional cost of staying outweighs the financial cost of moving.
🧭 The Power of Collaboration
When Trisha and I support a client together, the results speak for themselves. We help people move forward in a clearer, calmer, more confident way.
“We’re here to simplify the transition—not complicate it.” – Aaron Muller
🫶 Final Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
You don’t need to wait until you’re sure to start exploring options.
Information empowers you—emotionally and financially.
Let your support team hold the heavy stuff while you focus on healing and clarity.
