Carla Tempesta was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil & spent most of her life living in New York. Nine years ago she moved to Florida with her family. A few years later she became divorced from her husband of 20 years. Besides her two College Age children Carla had no family or friends in the Tampa Bay area, so she reached out to a Divorce Support Group in the area. Carla truly believes that Support Group saved her. She has made many friends & some are like family now. Carla realized how important the service of this group was to the Tampa Bay Area. She has devoted countless hours to organizing a wide range of events for various Bay Area social groups, including Tampa Bay Area Divorce Support Social Group, (a divorce support group), Friends Connect Tampa Bay Area (a relationship transition group) and Beach Singles & And More... (a single’s group). She is dedicated to sharing the lessons she has learned to help others dealing with divorce, from the very first stages all the way through to the often nerve wracking entrance back into the dating world. She has partnered with Cece Shatz in this venture.
Cece and Carla, believe their experience with divorce proved to be a defining moment in their lives, and in their journey through grief and loss they feel they have ultimately taken away many positive lessons about life and self-actualization. Together they take a lighthearted and candid approach to discussion, and love hearing the stories of others, and believe strongly in how a little bit of healing laughter and fun can help bring people together. They both strive to create a comfortable and open environment for those experiencing divorce, placing great value on speaking from the heart. Carla & Cece feel that, if even one person can find comfort and support through what they share, that means it is a good day.
Cece Shatz is the Host of Life Improvement Radio.com, Going Solo - Life After Divorce.

Their goal is to provide information, opportunities for socializing with others facing similar issues, emotional support, and useful tools for all around life improvement for anyone and everyone facing the life changing event that is divorce.
