The nature of divorce in the US is not an uncommon one, but the conversation surrounding the children who experience it is. Danielle Bucsek will be speaking as a voice of one of those one million children to share her personal experience with divorce, the suggestions she has for those overcoming it, and why she believes it could be a family’s best decision.

About Danielle: While Danielle Bucsek holds many different titles including Associate for one of the largest financial firms in the country, the title she regards the highest is a child of divorce.

Since then, Danielle has been working to redirect the spotlight back onto the inheritors of the issue and open a dialogue to help them understand, overcome, and conquer one of life’s most redefining moments.
