When I first heard the term Conscious Uncoupling, I’ll admit—I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Was it just a nicer way to say “breakup”? Or was there something deeper going on? After sitting down with Greg Wheeler, I can say this with confidence: it’s not just a buzzword. It’s a transformative process, and Greg is the kind of coach who makes you believe change is not only possible, but inevitable—if you’re willing to do the work.
Greg is a Certified Conscious Uncoupling Coach, a single dad, and the author of Single Dad Essentials. He’s helped countless clients move through the pain of divorce with grace, and more importantly, with clarity about how they want to create happier, healthier relationships—not just with others, but with themselves.
Greg Wheeler: From Engineering to Emotional Transformation
Before becoming a coach, Greg had a successful career in engineering, managing multi-million dollar programs and earning six patents (gosh that sounds similar!). But his biggest accomplishment? Raising four kids on his own after his divorce in the late ’90s.
Living in Princeton, NJ, with no nearby family and a demanding job, he found himself navigating the complex world of parenting, custody schedules, and emotional overwhelm alone. That experience planted the seed for what would become his mission: to help clients—especially single dads and single parents—find a better way to move through divorce and life transitions.
What Is Conscious Uncoupling?
Conscious Uncoupling is more than just a clean break. As Greg explained on the podcast, it’s a five-step process rooted in personal growth, emotional responsibility, and somatic healing. It’s about getting honest with yourself—where your relationship patterns came from, how they shaped your partner dynamics, and what needs to shift in order to create the life and relationships you want.
One of the biggest takeaways for me was this: you don’t need your ex to participate in order for the process to work. Conscious Uncoupling can be done solo. That means even if your co-parent is resistant, unavailable, or just plain difficult, you can still heal, transform, and start creating the future you want.
(As an aside, that sounds a lot like our mission with BestInterest – you don’t need your coparent to change at all, in order to experience peace in your coparenting experience)
Greg called it “uncoupling with understanding.” It’s not about blaming your ex—or even your parents. It’s about recognizing the unconscious beliefs you picked up along the way (like “I’m not good enough” or “love always hurts”) and learning how to release them.
How a Conscious Uncoupling Coach Helps You Reclaim Power
What makes Greg so effective as a coach is that he doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff. Whether it’s facing the pain of abandonment, the hurt of betrayal, or the confusion of being stuck in a trap of repeating toxic dynamics, he holds space for the process—and helps you do your emotional push-ups, as he calls them.
He guides each session with compassion and focus, using tools from his training in Conscious Uncoupling, Calling in the One, energy therapy, and more. His work is especially relevant for co-parents who feel sad, angry, or frustrated by the ways their relationship fell apart, but who still want to create something healthy and beneficial for their kids.
As someone who’s also walked this path, I found his approach not just helpful, but hopeful. He reminded me that we don’t have to keep reenacting the same patterns in our relationships. We can improve, thrive, and change our lives—but only if we’re willing to look inward.
From Breakup to Breakthrough: How to Start
If you’re feeling unhappy, indecisive, or stuck in a post-divorce fog, Greg’s work might be the reset you need. Whether you’re newly separated, years out from a breakup, or already remarried and still carrying old wounds, working with a coach like Greg can help you get clear, heal, and take aligned action.
This kind of coaching for divorce isn’t about moving on fast—it’s about moving forward with intention. It’s about getting out of your head, into your body, and doing the work to create the relationships you want and love. It’s about knowing your self, setting boundaries, and not repeating what didn’t work.
Ready to Take the First Step?
If this resonates with you, I encourage you to call it what it is: the start of something new. You don’t have to keep hurting. You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns that frustrate and confuse. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Greg offers a free 30-minute discovery call at GregWheelerCoaching.com for anyone ready to explore what’s next. Whether you’re a single parent, a struggling co-parent, or someone looking to create a more conscious, love-filled life, this could be your invitation to start creating the future you want.
As Greg says, “If you don’t take the time to learn from what went wrong, you’re almost guaranteed to repeat it.” That hit me hard. And it might be the most helpful truth of all.
