Strong Savvy Women Event for Single Women on January 18 in Darien
Divorce is not the end. It can be the beginning of a whole new, exciting chapter!
Strong Savvy Women’s “Divorce Success Stories” panel on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, will feature two women well known to the Ridgefield community, Consign Envy owner Maura Dimm and National Advertising Sales Manager Lisa Stiehl, who reinvented themselves after divorce.
They will share tips on overcoming emotional hurdles, juggling work and children and setting career goals to achieve financial independence.
The panel at Hayvn in Darien will be moderated by Ridgefield resident Amy Polacko, a divorce coach, journalist, and founder of Strong Savvy Women - a group dedicated to the education and support of single women. Polacko is thrilled to have the following women on the group’s Divorce Success Stories panel sharing their tips:
Amber Penberty, Principal at Woodland Partners Custom Builders in Darien
Maura Dimm, Owner of Consign Envy in Ridgefield
Lisa Stiehl, National Advertising Sales Manager

"I started this group so every woman going through divorce would know that she will get through it -- and she can thrive," Polacko said. "Every one of these women has an incredible story of triumph to guide and inspire others."
The event sponsor is Oberst DeFala Law, PC of Norwalk, CT (www.oberstlaw.com). Attorney Sharon Oberst DeFala will be speaking at the beginning of our event about her family law practice and the necessity for estate planning. DeFala describes herself as “a divorce attorney with a heart” and has been helping Connecticut families through this process since 1992.
The event fee is $20 payable through Eventbrite and virtual tickets through Zoom are also available.

The group’s focus is moving forward – by supporting each other, learning from expert speakers and having fun. Past event topics have included Jennifers’ Law, coercive control, financial tips, managing the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, co-parenting, advice from divorce attorneys, self-love and real estate for single women.
