About the Author

Tomi Tuel graduated from college at age 22, then again at 30 – marriage, career, children, and a mortgage in between. Life had a certain order and divorce wasn’t in the mix. But when her husband came down with the infamous seven-year itch, her world crumbled, yet all seemed to be ironically on track as she navigated the mine field of divorce. With little warning of the impending upheaval, she picked herself up to face the mêlée of her life and became a survivor – and a “new recruit” in Divorce War.

Tomi holds a Master’s Degree from California State University, but her degree is not in Psychology or Counseling. In fact, she has no formal education in marriage and family counseling or psychology, but if the School of Hard Knocks passed out degrees, she would have a Ph.D. Now a battle-hardened veteran, Tomi is a self-proclaimed “girl with a mission” and her book is receiving acclaim from leading psychologists.

As her 101 Things recounts, Tomi found peace after her divorce and now is a frequent speaker to audiences, large and small, on divorce recovery. She has remarried and currently lives with her husband and two children in Sacramento, California.

101 Things I Learned After My Divorce is a must-read for anyone facing the many stages of divorce, or for an interested by-stander who wants to better understand the tribulations of a Divorce Warrior. So, calibrate your “Crap Meter” (chapter 4) and prepare to assault Heartbreak Ridge with Tomi as your Brigadier General leading the charge. In her debut book, Tomi’s passion for inspiring and motivating those in the trenches is a genuine breath of fresh air – a survival kit when it’s difficult to breathe.
