Story Behind Zinnia

The idea for Zinnia came to me while I was on the phone with a friend of a friend. This lovely, frightened, and confused woman called me to discuss her divorce. She had so many questions, and I realized that too many people navigate this process alone and that I had the knowledge and, more importantly, the desire to help her.

This was not the first time I'd spent hours on a call offering support, validation, and guidance to women searching for answers. It wasn't even the twentieth. I realized that everyone going through a separation or divorce, needs support and community. And knowledge. And I realized I wanted to be the person to offer it.

Zinnia is a place of refuge, information, healing, and transformation. You can find the resources you will need to get through your divorce and, more importantly, to build your best life as you move forward.

Lori Collier

Zinnia is my third career, but the first one where I’m truly able to make a positive impact on people’s lives. In my first career, I built stores (both “brick & mortar” and online) for large brands such as Sephora and ToysRUs. It was exciting work, and I loved every minute of it.

In my second career, I was a full-time mother/mostly full-time consultant. After my third child suffered a severe health issue, I left the corporate world to stay at home with my sons. While “at home,” I consulted for a number of Private Equity and consulting firms, which allowed me to be available for the boys. I am very grateful Read more

  • Having gone through her own divorce with such poise,

    I think Lori would be a fabulous divorce coach. She's an amazing listener, is not judgmental, she's extremely empathetic, and offers thoughtful advice. She knows how to ask the right questions, making people reflect on their situations and dig deep, resulting in the best possible outcome.

    In my opinion, Lori would make any couple's divorce “better”, if there is such a thing.

  • Lori is joyful, kind and a very good listener.

    She has an unusual ability to connect with people of all sorts and easily enters into their circle of trust. She honors that trust with true engagement and discretion.

    Lori is also very capable of managing complicated situations between people that may have otherwise escalated into an unfriendly exchange. She is calm and thoughtful and doesn't let herself get flustered but instead, her presence is itself a calming force.

    A few years ago, I had a difficult time in my marriage. Lori supported me through it with wisdom and discretion. She is extremely capable and if I were in need of a divorce coach, I'd call her in a second.
