About Us

Helping Women Over 40 Rise Into Their Second Act With Clarity, Confidence, and Peace

At Silverline Publishing, we help women in their 40s+, including divorced and divorcing moms, rise from emotional overwhelm into grounded clarity and confidence. We believe every woman deserves a second act built on purpose, peace, and personal power — not on survival mode.

Founded by Trena C. Briscoe Matthews, the Phoenix Protocol provides women with a clear, structured path to rebuild their lives after divorce. No guesswork. No confusion. No navigating the hardest chapter of your life alone.

This work exists because too many women are left to piece their lives back together without guidance or support. The Phoenix Protocol changes that by offering a proven framework that addresses your emotions, identity, mindset, and future — all at once.

Imagine a life where:

Your goals feel clear, grounded, and fully attainable.
You have the tools and support to move through challenges with emotional steadiness.
You wake up feeling more like yourself — calm, confident, and centered.
You’re surrounded by a community that celebrates your healing and your growth.

This is what your second act can look like — and what the Phoenix Protocol helps you create.

Testimonial

Women who’ve walked this path with me say…

Healing, clarity, and inner strength grow when you’re supported inside The Phoenix Protocol.

The Phoenix Protocol was clear, thoughtful, and emotionally supportive. Even the more difficult sections were handled with care, and nothing felt rushed or overwhelming. I would absolutely recommend it to another mom navigating a similar season.

Jen K., Health Coach & Mom

I felt empowered as I went through the Phoenix Protocol. Trena didn’t just give me information — she helped me believe I could do this and gave me the tools to actually get it done.

Dionne M., Divorced Mom

The experience felt easy to move through, with a clear and compassionate flow. It never felt pretentious or judgmental — it felt like a caring loved one walking beside me. What resonated most was learning how to set boundaries, protect my peace, and strengthen my emotional well-being

Pam D., Divorced Mom

Meet Trena

Founder of Silverline Publishing & Creator of The Phoenix Protocol

I know what it means to rebuild a life from the inside out.
I married young, spent nearly two decades navigating the highs and lows of a complicated marriage, and faced the emotional weight of divorce while raising three children. I’ve lived through high-conflict co-parenting, financial pressure, identity loss, and the exhausting process of rediscovering who I was beyond the roles of wife, mother, and caretaker.

The Phoenix Protocol was born from that lived experience.
Every strategy, tool, and reflection in this framework comes from years of doing the hard inner work myself—not from theory pulled from a textbook. My own turning point arrived when I realized that surviving wasn’t enough; I needed a path back to peace, clarity, and myself.

With over 25 years of leadership, mentorship, and emotional resilience work, I now help divorced and divorcing moms rebuild their lives with confidence and intention. My approach blends compassion with practical guidance, so women can move from overwhelm to calm, from self-doubt to confidence, and from chaos to a grounded, intentional second act.

This is the roadmap I wish I had when my life fell apart —
And it’s the one I now teach, so no woman has to rise alone.
