    A Peaceful Exit: How One Mom Took the Reins of Her Divorce

    Fight First Heal Later: The Outdated Narrative of Divorce

    When we think of divorce, we think fight first, heal later. It’s straight out of the conventional divorce playbook, and it’s costing you more than you realize. By the time you land on the other side, you’re likely drained and depleted, along with your bank account, your kids and your lifeforce. In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful tool we recently workshopped in my group coaching class: how to break the “thought loop” that keeps you stuck, so you can feel and heal as you go. - The hidden habit that’s quietly shaping how you feel, how you show up and the future you’re creating (and why it can be broken) - The raw, real thought loops mothers just like you shared in class, and what was really hiding beneath them - How one mama married to a narcissist reframed “I constantly have to defend myself” into a line that took the power right out of his tactics - A simple two-question exercise to move you closer to the way you WANT to feel, starting today You’re getting out of your marriage for a reason. Remember your reasons, and don’t leave your healing on the negotiation table. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.

    How to Celebrate Your Birthday During Divorce (and Why You Should)

    A birthday during divorce doesn't exactly sound like a party. But skipping it? Hell no, mama. Not this year.

In this episode: - Why your birthday, and every holiday, can't go on hold while you're divorcing - How to plan a birthday that fits who you are now, so you're not setting yourself up for disappointment - The letter I ask every mama to write to herself, and why she'll be so glad she did a year from now [Want the other side of this?

    Parental Alienation in Divorce: What to Look For, What to Do

    It might be one of the most heartbreaking, painful things that can happen in divorce — and it's also one of the most avoidable. I'm talking about parental alienation. In this episode, I'm interviewed by Jackie Pilossoph of Divorced Girl Smiling to get real about what parental alienation actually looks like, the signs to watch for at every age, and exactly what to do if you think it's happening to you. We cover: - The "Divorce Vows" I created for the moms in my program — a simple template that can soften even the most contentious co-parenting relationship - The signs to watch for in little kids versus teenagers (and why teens are much harder to read) - The non-blaming script I use to open a hard conversation with an ex who's crossing this line - Why courts don't want to hear the words "narcissist" or "parental alienation" — and what to document instead You only control one side of the divorce street. But that side matters more than you know. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.

    Parental Alienation in Divorce: Warning Signs and What to Do

    If your kids are pulling away — going quiet, keeping score, repeating things that clearly didn't come from them — you're not imagining it. Parental alienation is the one piece of divorce damage that doesn't end when the paperwork does. It follows your kids into adulthood, into how they handle conflict, into every relationship they build after this. And the hard truth is that the courts aren't coming to fix it. But there's more in your hands than you think. In this episode: - The signs I see in my clients' kids constantly — the messenger, the little reporter, the teenager who suddenly has nothing to say to you — and how they show up differently at every age - Why the courts rarely step in, and the one rule I give every client about what she puts in writing - Five things you can start doing today to be the anchor your kids need — and why the most important one has nothing to do with your ex Somewhere down the road, your child may ask you about this time. I want you to like the answer you have for them. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.
