Samantha Boss

High-conflict divorce and co-parenting coach, former mediator, and host of the podcast The Ugly Truth of Divorce. She runs The Next Chapter with seven admins and points readers to her own site for the wider set of products, including the parenting plan work she is best known for in search.

The former-mediator line, which is the page's own claim rather than something we have verified, is the load-bearing credential. A mediator has sat in the room while two people negotiate custody, which is a different kind of authority from a coach who has simply been divorced, and it is what lets the page promise "boundaries that stick" rather than emotional support alone.

What does The Next Chapter sell?

Steadiness during a legal process, sold as a private membership rather than as a programme with an end date. The about copy is reproduced below unedited. The five markers flag the decisions worth studying, and hovering one shows what that line is doing.

Why does a 277-member room need seven admins?

Because the subject matter is legal, emotional and time-sensitive at once. Seven admins across 277 members is roughly one per 40, the richest staffing ratio in this batch by a wide margin.

That ratio is the product. A woman posting at 11pm the night before a custody hearing needs an answer that night, and a single-founder room cannot promise it. The Cooperation Collective runs one admin per 188 members and sells a method the member applies alone; this room sells presence, and presence has to be staffed.

The most interesting number here is the traffic

Two hundred and forty-two visitors produced $18,809.00 in monthly recurring revenue. That is $77.72 of monthly recurring revenue for every listed visitor, the densest figure in this batch and roughly 79 times the equivalent number for Healing Attachments in the same lane. Skool does not publish the window its traffic column covers, so this is a ratio between two published numbers rather than a conversion rate.

A room converting at that density is not being found by strangers. Search behaviour is consistent with that. Google autocomplete, checked on 30 August 2026 from a US session, returns her products rather than her category for her name: parenting plan, parenting plan pdf, reviews, master class and podcast. Autocomplete is personalised and volatile, so treat it as a signal rather than a measurement, but it points the same way the traffic does. The audience is being built on her site and her podcast, and the Skool page only has to close.

The Next Chapter compared with the other places this money goes

A woman in a high-conflict divorce is already spending. The comparison set is not other memberships, it is the invoice stack around the case. The cost bands below are illustrative and vary sharply by jurisdiction and by practitioner.

Twenty minutes of attorney time can cost what a month here costs, and the free forums that fill the same search results carry no moderation. The membership is positioned in the gap between the two, which is why the billing terms are printed so plainly.

The formula you can copy

Lead with the rarest credential, not the most flattering one. Former mediator beats coach here, because it implies she has watched the other side of the table behave, and that is the exact thing the buyer cannot see.

Publish the billing terms on the sales page. In a market where the buyer has just been damaged by a contract she did not fully understand, "cancel anytime" printed above the join button removes an objection nobody else in the category is willing to raise first.

Let the podcast do the selling and the community do the closing. Two hundred and forty-two visitors and nearly nineteen thousand dollars a month is what happens when the audience is built somewhere else. See how other builders route external audiences in do you need an audience to start a Skool community, how this price compares in how much Skool communities cost, and how traffic maps to rank in Skool leaderboards and traffic maxing.

Who is Samantha Boss?

Samantha Boss is a high-conflict divorce and co-parenting coach and former mediator who hosts the podcast The Ugly Truth of Divorce. Her Skool bio describes her as a mother of four and an entrepreneur, and her about page points readers to her own site for her wider range of products.

Can you successfully co-parent with a narcissist?

Family professionals generally describe it as possible but structurally different from ordinary co-parenting, relying on written communication, tightly specified parenting plans, minimal direct contact and consistent boundaries rather than on negotiation and goodwill. That is the territory this community is built around. It is not a clinical or legal opinion, and a high-conflict custody matter needs a qualified family lawyer.

Is a divorce support group worth paying for?

It depends on what you need. Free peer forums cost nothing but offer no expertise and no moderation, while an attorney's time can cost more per hour than this membership costs per month. A paid group sits between the two, and the fair question to ask before joining any of them is whether the person leading it has professional experience of the specific problem you have.

Can a Skool community rank highly without much traffic?

Yes. Two hundred and forty-two visitors alongside nearly nineteen thousand dollars a month shows that discovery traffic is not the only route to a top-five category rank. If you already own an audience elsewhere, your community page does not need to persuade strangers, it needs to close people who have already decided, and it should be written that way.
