Welcome to the Other Side Meg Gluckman

Break out your mechanical pencils & unicorn journals! 🦄



It's time to see how journaling can be your secret weapon to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of divorce and co-parenting.



This isn't about perfect grammar or perfect prose that you'd be proud to show your kids in 10 years. This is about clearing your brain so there's space for what you value most.



Our guest this week, journaling pro Amanda Stern, shares an a-la-carte menu for journaling and gives pointers on where to start.



She also tells the story of how her journaling practice transformed her relationship with her mother-in-outlaw (ex mother-in-law) at a crucial time.



Plus, we'll talk about how journaling can help you get better sleep—because who couldn't use a little extra shut-eye during stressful times?



So grab your favorite pen, a cozy spot, and let's learn how to let the page hold worries & stress so that you don't have to. Onward to more ease!

Mortgages, refinancing, and transferring home ownership can be one of the most complicated pieces in dividing assets in a divorce. But not if you have someone on your team who knows the ins and outs of lending & divorce, like Mihaella Bayla.



She's on this episode to teach us what we need to consider when deciding who keeps the family home, how to structure spousal support so that we can refinance, and why the departing spouse may choose to stay on the mortgage for a while.
