The Book
The Phoenix Path
A Woman’s Story of Rediscovering Her Voice, Reclaiming Her Confidence, and Writing Her Next Chapter
by Trena Briscoe Matthews
The Phoenix Path is a memoir of endings and beginnings. It is the honest story of the end of a twenty-plus-year marriage and the years that followed, when I had to rediscover who I was beyond the roles I had spent a lifetime filling.
I write about grief that arrives in waves, the disorientation of losing a life I had followed all the rules to build, and the slow, deliberate work of coming home to myself. Not a sprint back to who I used to be, but the intentional design of who I am becoming.
If you are standing at your own crossroads, this book is an invitation. Your next chapter is still yours to write.

Helping Women Over 40 Rise Into Their Next Chapter With Clarity, Confidence, and Peace
At Silverline, we help women in their 40s+, including post-divorced moms, rise from emotional overwhelm into grounded clarity and confidence. We believe every woman deserves a life 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.
Why Silverline Works
With over 25 years of leadership, mentorship, and hands-on experience guiding women through high-pressure life transitions, Silverline Coaching blends emotional support with practical tools to help women reclaim their lives after divorce.

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

Episode title: Post-Divorce Reinvention for High-Achieving Women
From the outside, everything looks fine — the career intact, the calendar full, the bills paid. In this conversation, I unpack the exhaustion that has no name, why running a household is executive-level work, and how the Phoenix Protocol helps high-achieving women rebuild after divorce with intention.
About
Meet Trena
Founder of Silverline Publishing & Coaching and Creator of The Phoenix Protocol
I know what it takes to rebuild, because I have done it.
My career taught me how to lead teams, deliver results on high-impact projects, and be the one people count on. It did not teach me how to be single after being part of a couple for more than twenty years.
When my marriage ended, I was solely responsible for my three children, and people still leaned on me. So I kept everything running. But the quieter work, learning who I am on my own, did not answer to competence. It asked something different of me. Doing that work is what brought me peace.
“Surviving wasn’t enough. I needed a path back to peace, clarity, and myself.”
The Phoenix Protocol was born from that rebuild. Every tool and reflection in it comes from work I did myself, not from theory.
Today I help strong, capable women like me find peace and build their next chapter with intention. I keep my clientele small so each woman gets the attention she deserves. I’m glad to be a resource wherever I can, and honest when another professional is a better fit.
