About Aliette Hernandez Carolan, Esq.
Who is Aliette Hernandez Carolan? Aliette Hernandez Carolan is a first-generation, Cuban-American mom of two girls, author, former litigator, family law attorney, sober (since June 2004), founder, and speaker based in Coral Gables, FL. She is the author of Just in Case! Lose Your Heart, Not Your Mind — A Smart Woman’s Guide to Marriage and Self-Sufficiency (available on Amazon) and the founder of three companies that serve women navigating major life transitions. Her public-facing brand is based on her upcoming new book, The Awake Woman.
Her work combines legal strategy, education, technology, and practical tools for women and modern families — across TheQuickDivorce.com, the legal-tech platform Separia, MomMind AI, and Carolan Family Law.
My grandmother left Havana with three suitcases and an idea of who she still was. She landed in Miami, kept the idea, and rebuilt a life around it. I grew up watching her — and watching the women around her — do the quiet, structural work of starting over. Nobody called it that. They just did it.
I went to law school because I wanted to understand the architecture of the systems women were stepping into and out of. I got sober in 2004 because I wanted to be present for the life I was actually living. I had two daughters. I founded Carolan Family Law. I sat across the table from women at their worst moments and at their bravest, and I noticed the same pattern over and over: the legal piece was almost never the hard piece. The hard piece was waking up.
“I left because I woke up to what was true. That’s it. That’s the whole reason.”
So I built. Separia, the first platform built for the complete arc of a major transition. MomMinds AI, with my friend Teri Arvesu, to teach women how to use artificial intelligence to reclaim their time and stay relevant. And Carolan Family Law, now an online advisory practice for the women who only need a clear-eyed second opinion.
Today I write, build, and practice from Coral Gables, Florida — raising two daughters and running an ecosystem of companies built around the lives women actually live.
This site is the public-facing record of that work. The book is the philosophy. The companies are the proof. The talks are the conversation. And this — the writing here, the letters, the essays — is the thinking out loud.
