Best Email Marketing Platforms for Divorce Coaches (2026)
The best email marketing platforms for divorce coaches do three jobs well: they turn a lead magnet (a divorce prep checklist, a co-parenting communication guide) into a list, they nurture people gently through very different stages of a separation, and they know which subscribers have already booked a call or become clients so nobody gets a sales email in the middle of a hard week. Most dedicated email tools do the first two. Very few do the third without a stack of integrations.
Our pick for most divorce coaches is Coachful, because its email lists, broadcasts and sequences live in the same account as the funnels, booking pages, agreements, payments and client records, so an email always knows who is a prospect and who is mid-program. We make Coachful, so weigh that, and note where we say a dedicated email tool beats it: deliverability tooling and advanced segmentation are genuinely stronger in tools like ActiveCampaign, MailerLite and Brevo. Below are ten platforms ranked by scenario, with prices as listed in October 2026.
What do divorce coaches actually need from an email platform?
Divorce coaches need email that is discreet, stage-aware and connected to the discovery call. The audience is unusual: many readers are still living with the person they are separating from, some share a family computer or email account, and their needs change sharply between "thinking about it", "in the process" and "rebuilding after".
That shapes the workflows:
- Lead magnets that match the moment. A "first 30 days" document checklist, a script for telling the children, a guide to preparing for a first meeting with a family lawyer or mediator. Each one should drop the subscriber into a different sequence, because someone downloading a post-divorce budgeting worksheet is not in the same place as someone asking whether to leave.
- Discreet sending. Subject lines and sender names that do not shout "divorce" in a shared inbox, a clear way to change the email address on file, and plain text options that look like a note from a person rather than a promotion.
- Sequences that lead to a call. Most divorce coaching sells through a consultation. The nurture sequence's job is to build enough trust that someone books, then the booking itself should stop the sales emails and start reminders.
- Program and group launches. Many divorce coaches run a cohort ("Rebuild in 8 Weeks", a co-parenting reset group) alongside 1:1 work. Launch emails need to go to the right segment and skip people who already enrolled.
- Referral partner updates. Family lawyers, mediators, financial analysts and therapists send a lot of divorce coaching clients. A short partner newsletter is a separate list with a separate tone.
- Clear scope. Divorce coaches are not attorneys or therapists. Emails should say so and point readers to a lawyer for legal questions and to a licensed therapist for mental health care. If a reader mentions abuse or feeling unsafe, the right response is a referral to a service such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline in the US, not a nurture sequence.
Email rules also apply. In the US, the FTC's CAN-SPAM compliance guide covers sender identification, honest subject lines and unsubscribe handling; in the UK, the ICO's direct marketing guidance covers consent. Rules vary by country, so check with an attorney where you are unsure. For the wider business picture, our guide on how to start a divorce coaching business covers offers and positioning, and what a divorce coach does covers scope.
Which email platform is best for each divorce coaching scenario?
Coachful is the best overall pick; the other nine each win a narrower situation. Ranking criteria: one login for the whole client journey, between-session delivery, total stack cost, and setup effort (including Coachful's free white-glove build), then email depth for this audience.
| Platform | Best for | Starting price (as listed) | Knows who is a client? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Best overall: lead magnet to discovery call to program, one account | Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients | Yes, same client records |
| MailerLite | Low-cost email with built-in bookings for consultations | Free (250 subscribers); Comfort $12/mo | Partly, via booking data and tags |
| Kit | A newsletter-first divorce coach with a large free list | Free (10,000 subscribers); Creator $39/mo | Only via tags or integrations |
| Flodesk | Warm, beautifully designed emails with little effort | Lite $25/mo ($19 annual) | Only via tags |
| ActiveCampaign | Deep stage-based segmentation and branching automations | Starter $19/mo ($15 annual) | Via integrations (Plus and above) |
| Brevo | A big list on a small budget, with SMS available | Free (300 emails/day); Starter from $9/mo | Only via tags or integrations |
| Systeme.io | Funnels, courses and email for almost nothing | Free; Startup $17/mo | Partly, for course buyers |
| Mailchimp | Coaches who already have a Mailchimp list | Free (250 contacts); Essentials $13/mo | Only via tags or integrations |
| Kajabi | A course-led divorce recovery business | Basic $179/mo ($143 annual) | Yes, for product buyers |
| GoHighLevel | A divorce coaching practice run like an agency, with SMS-heavy follow-up | Starter $97/mo ($80.83 annual) | Yes, in its CRM |
How did we choose and rank these ten?
We ranked by fit for a working divorce coach, not by raw email features. We did not test these tools hands-on; facts come from each vendor's documentation and pricing pages as listed in October 2026 (Brevo's page was checked on the day of writing), plus what public reviewers report.
The questions we asked of each platform:
- List growth from funnels and lead magnets. Can you publish a checklist opt-in page and deliver the download without another tool?
- Sequences for discovery calls and launches. Does it support multi-step sequences with delays and branching, and on which plan?
- Client awareness. Does the email tool know when a subscriber books, pays or signs an agreement, or does that require Zapier and careful tagging?
- Total stack cost. What does the email tool cost once you add the scheduler, contracts, payments and program delivery a divorce coach also needs?
- Setup effort. How long before a coach who would rather be coaching has a working funnel and sequence?
Where a dedicated email platform does something better than Coachful, we say so in that tool's section. Our parent guide, best email marketing tools for coaches, compares the general field; this article narrows it to divorce coaching.
1. Coachful: best overall for divorce coaches who sell through a consultation
Coachful wins when the email list is one part of a practice that also books consultations, signs agreements, takes payments and runs programs. Instead of wiring an email tool to a scheduler, an e-signature app, Stripe and a course platform, everything sits in one account with one login for the coach and one branded app for the client.
What it is. Coachful is a coaching platform. One subscription covers booking, payments, contracts, program delivery with habits and check-ins, courses, a community, a website with funnels and email, and Michelle, a built-in AI assistant. It is built for coaches who deliver programs, not just sessions, and for coaches replacing four to six tools. It is not HIPAA-certified and is not for clinical record-keeping, which matters if you also practise as a licensed therapist: keep clinical notes in a clinical system.
Growing the list. Coachful's funnel builder covers booking, application, lead-magnet and checkout funnels, with about 25 funnel templates, pixels and UTM tracking. A divorce coach can publish a "Before you talk to a lawyer: 12 questions to answer" checklist page on their own domain, deliver the PDF, and see each new lead land in the Prospects table with the form or resource they came from.
Sending. Email lists, broadcasts and multi-step sequences with triggers, delays, branching and A/B splits are included in your Coachful membership. That is enough for the sequences divorce coaches actually run: a five-email welcome series after a checklist download, a branch for people who clicked the co-parenting guide versus the finances guide, a launch sequence for a group program. Michelle can draft those emails from your own practice data, which helps when you know what to say but not how to say it gently.
Knowing who is a client. This is the real difference. Leads, discovery-call bookings, intake answers, signed coaching agreements, payments and program progress live on the same client record, with tags and a status of thriving, active, quiet or at risk. So a launch email can skip clients already enrolled, and someone who books a consultation can move from "nurture" to "booked" without you exporting a CSV. Booking pages handle availability, buffers, minimum notice and time-zone detection, with email reminders plus SMS (24 hours before) and WhatsApp (1 hour before) once messaging is enabled.
After the sale. The coaching itself continues in the same place: multi-week programs with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits and morning and evening check-ins, courses with drip, and cohort groups created automatically on program enrollment. For a divorce coach that means a "first 90 days after separation" program can deliver a weekly reflection and a short check-in between sessions, while the email list keeps doing marketing. Here is a short walkthrough of the email tools:
Where a dedicated tool is stronger. Coachful does not position itself as a deliverability specialist. If you need dedicated-IP options, deliverability specialist support or highly granular behavioural segmentation across tens of thousands of subscribers, ActiveCampaign or Brevo will give you more control. Coachful also has no Salesforce or HubSpot integration and no PayPal; payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account with a 0% Coachful platform fee.
Price. Flat monthly plans, with lower plans capping active clients and Pro unlimited (current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients). There is a free trial and monthly plans cancel in one click.
Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, the "We'll build it for you" card lets you describe what you want built: a website, a lead-magnet funnel, an email sequence or newsletter, a program or a sales page. You can attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files (logo, photos, existing copy), and the Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing gets invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices, and gaps are left for you to fill. It does not include recording videos, logo design or ad management. One recent build: a leadership coach with a Squarespace renewal days away got one clean homepage with a repeated "talk with me" button. More examples are in our white-glove service guide.

2. MailerLite: the budget choice when consultations come first
For a divorce coach who wants a real email tool, a simple booking page for free consultations and a low bill, MailerLite is the strongest value on this list. Its built-in Bookings handles 1:1 and group sessions, free or paid via Stripe, with Google Calendar and Outlook/Microsoft 365 sync, and booking questions save to the subscriber profile. That last part matters: your intake question ("Where are you in the process?") becomes data you can segment on.
As listed in October 2026, the Free plan covers up to 250 active subscribers, 2,500 emails a month, 3 active automations of 5 steps each, one landing page and one active digital product or booking. Sending locks above 250 active subscribers. Comfort starts at $12/month for 500 subscribers ($19/month at 1,000), with 50 active automations of up to 100 steps. Power starts at $25/month at 500 subscribers ($39/month at 1,000) with unlimited automations and seats. MailerLite takes 0% commission on digital products, paid newsletters and bookings; only Stripe's fee applies.
For this niche, the free plan's single active event type is the catch: if you run a free 20-minute call and a paid strategy session, you need Comfort. MailerLite also has no coaching agreements, program delivery, habits or check-ins, so clients still need somewhere else to work with you between sessions. Its segmentation and deliverability tooling go further than Coachful's email layer, which is a fair reason to choose it if email is your main channel.
Pick it over Coachful if you only need a list, a lead magnet and a consultation calendar, and you already deliver coaching somewhere else (or by phone alone).
3. Kit: for the divorce coach whose newsletter is the product
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) suits a divorce coach who writes a weekly letter for people rebuilding their lives and treats coaching as the occasional upsell. Its free Newsletter plan covers up to 10,000 subscribers, which is generous for building an audience before you have many clients.
The limits show up quickly once you want nurture sequences. As listed in October 2026, automations and sequences require a paid plan: Creator starts at $39/month for up to 1,000 subscribers (price scales with list size, 2 team members) and Pro at $79/month with unlimited team members. There is a 14-day free trial on both, no card required. Kit Commerce sells digital products at 3.5% + $0.30 per US transaction, all-in.
Kit does not handle scheduling, client records, agreements or sessions, and it has no courses portal, community or check-ins. A divorce coach on Kit will usually pair it with a scheduler and a payment tool, then tag subscribers by hand or through Zapier when they book. Trustpilot showed 3.9 from 162 reviews in October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if your business is mostly a newsletter, your list is large, and coaching sales are a small add-on you handle elsewhere.
4. Flodesk: when the email has to feel like a hand on the shoulder
Design-led and calm, Flodesk wins for a divorce coach whose brand is warm and visual and who wants emails that look considered without a designer. Its templates, forms and simple checkout pages are the main draw.
Pricing as listed in October 2026: the Free plan has no subscriber limit but cannot send email. Lite is $25/month ($19/month billed annually) up to 1,000 subscribers, capped at 25,000 subscribers and one seat. Pro is $28/month ($25 annually) and Everything is $54/month ($49 annually), each from 1,000 subscribers and scaling up to 255,000. There is a 14-day trial without a card. Flodesk Checkout runs on Stripe (3% + $0.30 on Stripe Express in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), and checkout is supported only in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Euro Area countries.
There is no scheduling, client record, course portal, community or check-in feature, so the discovery call and the coaching sit elsewhere. Segmentation is simpler than ActiveCampaign's; if you plan separate tracks for "deciding", "in process" and "after", keep the logic simple. Trustpilot showed 4.8 from 321 reviews in October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if the look of every email is your top priority and you are happy to run booking, agreements and programs in other tools.
5. ActiveCampaign: for coaches who think in segments and branches
If you want an automation that branches on whether someone opened the "telling the kids" email, clicked the financial checklist and visited your pricing page twice, ActiveCampaign is the specialist. It is the strongest tool here for stage-based segmentation and multi-step automations, and that is an honest advantage over Coachful.
As listed in October 2026: Starter is $19/month ($15 annually) at 1,000 contacts with 5 actions per automation, standard and inline forms only, and no landing pages. Plus is $59/month ($49 annually) with unlimited automation actions and landing pages; Calendly, Acuity Scheduling and Eventbrite integrations, and the PayPal and Stripe integrations, also start on Plus. Pro is $99/month ($79 annually) and Enterprise $179/month ($145 annually), each at 1,000 contacts. There is a 14-day trial without a card and a 30-day refund guarantee on paid plans. Deal pipelines need a paid Enhanced CRM add-on.
For a divorce coach, Starter is too limited for a real nurture sequence, so plan on Plus. There is no built-in booking calendar, checkout or invoicing, so the realistic stack is ActiveCampaign Plus, a scheduler and Stripe, before you add agreements and somewhere to deliver the program. Trustpilot's heading showed 2.7 from 1,452 reviews in October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if your list is large, email is your main sales engine, and you want behavioural segmentation that a coaching platform does not try to match.
6. Brevo: a large list without a large bill
Brevo makes sense for the divorce coach who has built a sizeable list through talks, podcasts or a referral network of family lawyers and wants to email all of it cheaply. Its pricing is based on email volume rather than contacts.
When we checked Brevo's pricing page in October 2026, the Free plan let new accounts upload contacts and, once approved for sending, send up to 300 emails per day. Starter was listed from $9/month (from 5,000 emails a month) with a drag-and-drop editor, templates, segmentation and forms that can trigger a follow-up when someone signs up. Standard was listed from $18/month and adds unlimited multi-step marketing automation workflows, A/B testing, one landing page and removal of the "Sent with Brevo" footer. Professional was listed from $499/month with 10 seats and deliverability specialist support; Enterprise adds a dedicated IP. SMS credits are sold separately.
Brevo has no scheduling, coaching agreements or program delivery, and its single included landing page on Standard means a checklist funnel may need another page builder. For a divorce coach the SMS option is double-edged: a text can land on a shared family phone, so use it only for people who have opted in on their own number.
Pick it over Coachful if you have a big, mostly non-client list and cheap sending volume matters more than having booking and programs in the same place.
7. Systeme.io: funnels, a course and email for close to nothing
A brand-new divorce coach with no budget and a self-paced "Divorce Prep" mini course in mind will find Systeme.io's free plan hard to beat. As listed in October 2026 it includes 2,000 contacts, 3 funnels, 1 course with up to 500 students, a blog, one custom domain, one automation rule and one email campaign, with 0% transaction fees.
Paid plans are Startup at $17/month (5,000 contacts, 10 funnels, 5 courses), Webinar at $47/month (10,000 contacts, 50 funnels, 20 courses) and Unlimited at $97/month. No card is required for the free plan. Trustpilot showed 4.9 from 8,696 reviews in October 2026.
What it does not do for a divorce coach: native 1:1 scheduling with client records, habits or check-ins, and its community and course features are basic. One automation rule on the free plan is also tight once you want separate sequences for different lead magnets. It is a launchpad for a low-cost product, not a home for an ongoing 1:1 coaching relationship.
Pick it over Coachful if you are testing demand with a cheap course and a single funnel and are not yet running paid 1:1 or group coaching.
8. Mailchimp: the familiar option you may already have
Mailchimp is on this list mainly for divorce coaches who already have a list there from a previous business or a practice they shared with a partner. Moving is work, and if your sends are simple, staying can be reasonable.
The plan details as listed in October 2026 explain why it ranks lower for new coaches. The Free plan covers 250 contacts and 500 sends per month, with no automation flows and Mailchimp branding on emails. Essentials starts at $13/month for up to 500 contacts but allows only 4 steps per flow, so a proper nurture sequence needs Standard at $20/month for 500 contacts. Premium starts at $350/month at 10,000 contacts. A contact who sits in two audiences counts twice, which catches coaches who keep a separate partner list for lawyers and mediators.
There is no booking, agreement or program delivery, and public reviewers are mixed: Trustpilot showed 2.5 from 1,555 reviews in October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if you already have a Mailchimp list and a working flow, and the rest of your practice runs smoothly in other tools.
9. Kajabi: for a course-led divorce recovery brand
Kajabi earns its place when your divorce coaching business is mainly a signature course or membership ("Life After Divorce Academy") with email, a community and a website around it. Email, funnels, products and community live together, and buyers are known in the same system.
As listed in October 2026: Basic is $179/month ($143 annually) with 5 products, 2,500 contacts, one community and no AI credits; Growth is $249/month ($199 annually) with 50 products and 25,000 contacts; Pro is $499/month ($399 annually). Using a payment processor other than Kajabi Payments or PayPal adds a 0.5% to 2% Kajabi fee. The standard trial is 14 days.
For 1:1 divorce coaching, Kajabi treats coaching as products and communities rather than per-client plans, and there is no habit tracking or daily check-in. The Basic plan's 2,500-contact cap can also arrive quickly if a free checklist does well. Trustpilot showed 3.4 from 2,347 reviews in October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if your revenue is mostly course and membership sales and 1:1 coaching is a small premium tier.
10. GoHighLevel: for an agency-style practice with heavy SMS follow-up
GoHighLevel suits a divorce coaching practice that runs like a marketing agency: several coaches or brands, paid ads, and aggressive follow-up by SMS, email and calls. It bundles funnels, websites, calendars, email and SMS, invoicing, contracts, courses and communities around sub-accounts.
As listed in October 2026: Starter is $97/month ($80.83 annually) with 3 sub-accounts, Unlimited $297/month and Agency Pro $497/month, each with unlimited users and contacts. SMS, email, phone and AI usage are metered on top of the plan price, and HIPAA is a $297/month add-on. There is a 14-day trial that bills automatically at the end unless cancelled.
The fit problems for this niche are real. Heavy SMS follow-up can feel intrusive to someone in a fragile moment, there is no structured coaching program, habit or check-in engine, and setup takes time. Public reviewers rate it highly (Trustpilot 4.9 from 15,250 reviews in October 2026), largely agency users.
Pick it over Coachful if you run multiple coaching brands or an agency, need sub-accounts and phone tools, and have time to configure workflows.
How do the ten platforms compare feature by feature?
The matrix below shows where each tool covers the divorce coaching journey on its own and where you would add another product.

What do three realistic divorce coaching stacks cost per month?
Email is rarely the whole bill. These three example stacks show what a divorce coach with about 15 active clients and a list near 1,000 subscribers would pay, using monthly-billing prices as listed in October 2026. Payment processing fees are extra in every case.
| Stack | Tools | Monthly cost (as listed) | Still missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful (one login) | Email, funnels, booking, agreements, payments, programs | Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients | Nothing core; advanced deliverability tooling |
| Budget email-first | MailerLite Comfort (1,000 subscribers, includes Bookings) | $19 | Agreements, client records, program delivery, check-ins |
| Segmentation power stack | ActiveCampaign Plus (1,000 contacts) plus a separate scheduler | $59 plus the scheduler's own price | Agreements, checkout, program delivery |
The budget stack looks cheapest until you price the e-signature tool, a client portal and the hours spent keeping tags in sync. For more cost comparisons, see our list of the cheapest email marketing for coaches.
How would a divorce coach set this up in Coachful, step by step?
Here is an example setup for a fictional coach who works with parents in the first year of separation. It takes one checklist, one sequence and one booking page to start.
- Pick one lead magnet. For example, "The First 30 Days: a document and decision checklist for separating parents". Keep it practical and add a line that it is not legal advice and that a family lawyer should review legal decisions.
- Build the lead-magnet funnel. Start from one of the funnel templates or ask the white-glove team to build it from your PDF and notes. Connect your custom domain so the page sits on your own site.
- Write a five-email welcome sequence. Email 1 delivers the checklist; email 2 covers the three decisions that cannot wait; email 3 explains what a divorce coach does and does not do; email 4 shares how a consultation works; email 5 invites a booking. Use calm, neutral subject lines such as "Your checklist" and "A note for this week", and a sender name that is just your first name.
- Add a branch. Split readers who click the co-parenting section from those who click the finances section, so the next emails speak to what they care about.
- Set up the consultation booking page. Add buffers, minimum notice and two or three intake questions (stage, children, preferred contact method). Ask whether email and text are safe to use, and record the answer on the client record.
- Attach the coaching agreement. When someone becomes a client, the agreement goes out for e-signature before the first call and is stored on their record. Our coaching contracts page explains the flow.
- Tag and stop the sales emails. Clients get the "client" tag and leave the nurture list; they receive program check-ins inside the app instead.
- Review the numbers monthly. Track opt-in rate, consultation bookings and unsubscribes. Our guide to email marketing metrics for coaches covers which five to watch.
If you would rather not build any of this yourself, describe the checklist, sequence and booking page in a white-glove request and fill in the gaps when it comes back. More on the email side is on our email marketing for coaches page.
What mistakes should divorce coaches avoid with email marketing?
The common mistakes in this niche are about safety and tone more than software.
- Loud subject lines. "Is your marriage over?" in a shared inbox can cause real harm. Write subject lines that would be fine for anyone in the household to see.
- One list for everyone. Someone deciding whether to separate and someone two years past their divorce need different emails. Segment by stage from the first opt-in.
- Selling to current clients. Launch emails that reach people already in your program feel careless. Use a platform that knows who is a client, or tag rigorously.
- Drifting into legal or therapeutic advice. Explain process and options, then point readers to a family lawyer or licensed therapist. Our guide to divorce coaching certification and practice covers scope.
- Texting without explicit permission. SMS reminders are useful, but only on a number the client confirms is private.
- Paying for a stack you do not use. An advanced automation tool on top of a scheduler, an e-signature app and a course platform can cost more than the coaching tools you actually need.
Which email marketing platform should a divorce coach choose?
Choose Coachful if you sell through consultations and deliver coaching over weeks or months: it is the one platform here where the email list, the discovery call, the agreement, the payment and the program all share one client record. Choose MailerLite if you want the cheapest real email tool with a consultation calendar, ActiveCampaign or Brevo if deep segmentation or large-volume sending is the priority, and Kit or Flodesk if your newsletter is the heart of the business. For the wider platform decision, see the best platform for divorce coaches.
How to start with Coachful: open a free trial, then send a free white-glove build request for your lead-magnet funnel and welcome sequence (current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients). Coachful is for coaches, not clinicians, and does not replace a dedicated deliverability platform for very large lists.
Frequently asked questions
Do divorce coaches need a separate email marketing tool?
Not necessarily. If your coaching platform includes lists, broadcasts and sequences, a separate tool mainly adds cost and syncing work. A dedicated tool makes sense when your list is large, email is your main sales channel, or you need advanced deliverability controls.
What is a good lead magnet for a divorce coach?
Something practical for a specific stage: a document checklist for the first month, a guide to preparing for a first meeting with a family lawyer or mediator, or a co-parenting communication script. Match each lead magnet to its own email sequence.
How do I keep emails discreet for people still living with a spouse?
Use neutral subject lines and a plain sender name, avoid the word "divorce" in preview text, and ask at sign-up or booking whether email and text are safe. Make it easy to change the address on file.
Which email platform is cheapest for a new divorce coach?
Systeme.io, MailerLite, Kit and Brevo all have free plans with different limits as listed in October 2026. Free plans usually restrict automations, so a working nurture sequence often needs a paid tier.
What is Coachful's free white-glove service?
From Create in your account, you describe what you want built (for example a lead-magnet funnel, an email sequence or a website) and attach links and files. The Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours, without inventing credentials, testimonials or prices. It is free on every plan.
Can Coachful send SMS reminders for consultations?
Yes. Booking reminders go by email, and once messaging is enabled, also by SMS 24 hours before and WhatsApp 1 hour before. Only use them on numbers clients confirm are private.
Is Coachful HIPAA-compliant for divorce coaches who are also therapists?
No. Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA. Coaching notes are fine there; clinical records and insurance billing belong in a clinical system.
Should my emails include legal information?
You can explain general process and what questions to ask, but say clearly that you are not an attorney and that readers should check legal decisions with a family lawyer. Laws vary by state and country.
How many emails should a divorce coaching welcome sequence have?
Four to six emails over two to three weeks is a common shape: deliver the resource, give one useful idea per email, explain how coaching works, then invite a consultation. Watch unsubscribes and adjust the pace.
Can I move my list from Mailchimp or Kit to Coachful?
Clients, programs and content are imported for you during onboarding, so raise your subscriber list with the team when you start. If you ever leave, you can export full client data as a ZIP.
