Guilt manifests in various forms during a divorce, often intertwined with feelings of regret and shame. It's common for at least one party to experience guilt to some degree. If left unaddressed, guilt can disrupt the divorce process, particularly during settlement negotiations, in two primary ways.
First, guilt can lead to one party making overly generous concessions, driven by a sense of remorse or a desire to compensate for perceived wrongs.
Second, guilt can also cause a party to become overly defensive or obstructive, attempting to justify their actions or resist compromise out of a need to mitigate their own feelings of culpability.
In this episode Jeff and Doreen discuss how recognizing and addressing guilt, individuals can navigate the divorce process more effectively, ensuring more equitable and amicable outcomes.

Often, we're drawn to the allure of the "after" picture without fully embracing the journey it takes to get there. We yearn for the end result without wanting to endure the river of misery that flows in between. It's human nature to desire instant gratification and to shy away from the process, preferring immediate results over the daily steps required to reach our goals.
However, it's crucial to recognize that the true impact of a goal lies not in its achievement, but in the act of setting it. The moment we set a goal, we ignite a spark within ourselves—an aspiration that propels us forward and shapes our journey. It's in the pursuit of our goals, the daily grind, and the challenges we overcome that we truly grow and evolve as individuals.
So, let's embrace the process, the ups and downs, the victories and setbacks, knowing that each step we take brings us closer to our aspirations. And let's remember that the journey itself is where the magic happens—the transformation, the growth, and the fulfillment of our potential.

In today's episode, Jeff and Doreen delve into the concept of finding oneself, emphasizing that this journey is merely the starting point. Beyond discovering your true self, it's essential to identify your desires and goals, and then take proactive steps to manifest the life you envision. Taking action is the crucial key to transforming your aspirations into reality.
