    When Your Ex Plays Dirty with Lisa Johnson

    Divorce is hard enough, but when your ex is out to punish you instead of just moving on, things can spiral into a legal and financial nightmare. If you've ever felt like your ex is using the legal system as a weapon, you're not imagining it. Lisa Johnson, a high-conflict divorce strategist and co-founder of Been There, Got Out, has lived the nightmare of a high-conflict divorce. She successfully represented herself through countless court appearances and now helps others navigate the legal system when an ex is weaponizing it against them. If you're dealing with legal abuse, false accusations, or endless court battles, this interview is a must-listen. Lisa breaks down the harsh realities of high-conflict divorce and the legal system traps that keep people stuck. From "Friday night bomb" court filings to financial abuse tactics, she shares what you must know to protect yourself and fight back strategically. You're going to learn: What makes a divorce high conflict and how to tell if yours is headed that way The truth about legal abuse: How exes use the court system to control and drain their former partners The most common dirty tactics high-conflict exes use Why some people will never stop fighting in court and how to protect yourself How to stop your ex from running up your legal bills with endless motions The biggest mistakes people make when dealing with a high-conflict ex in court How to shift from feeling powerless to taking back control If your ex is playing dirty, it's time to take back your power.

    Childcare Crisis: How the System is Holding Women Back with Paige Connell

    Why is childcare so expensive, so unreliable, and so difficult to find? Childcare isn't just a family issue, it's an economic crisis. The rising cost, limited availability, and lack of societal support for working parents are forcing many women to make impossible choices between their careers and their families.  Paige Connell, a working mom of four and content creator, is here to expose the cracks in the childcare system and how they disproportionately hold women back in their careers and financial growth. The rising cost of childcare is outpacing housing and grocery prices, forcing many women to scale back or leave the workforce altogether. Paige shares why this is a systemic issue, not just a personal problem, and what needs to change for families to truly thrive. We discuss the harsh realities of the childcare crisis: Why childcare costs more than rent or a mortgage in most states The hidden ways childcare struggles push women out of the workforce How society still treats childcare as a "mom's problem" instead of a family issue Why summer camps, before-and-after school care, and school closures create an endless cycle of stress How single and divorced moms face even greater challenges with childcare costs and scheduling What women can do to advocate for better solutions at home and in policy If you've ever felt like you're drowning in the logistics and cost of childcare, you're not alone. Paige is leading important conversations on equity in parenting, careers, and financial independence.
