  1. When Separation Becomes Real

    When Separation Becomes Real

    The end of a relationship can feel overwhelming, especially when separation becomes real. In this first episode of What Next?, family mediators Nick Coffer, Claire Webb and Carlie Norris talk gently and honestly about that moment, and the feelings of panic, fear and urgency that often come with it. Drawing on their experience with separating families, they talk through why the early days can feel so urgent, how advice from friends, family and online sources can increase pressure, and why it often helps to slow things down rather than try to decide everything at once. The episode touches on mediation as one way families can reduce conflict and think more clearly at the start of separation. A calm place to start for anyone facing separation, and for the professionals who support families through it.
