    Inside Equitable Mediation: Helping Couples Divorce Amicably and Affordably

    🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this thoughtful and eye-opening episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with divorce mediator Joe Dillon of Equitable Mediation to unpack the differences between mediation and litigation, the financial and emotional burdens of traditional lawyer-led divorce, and how holistic mediation can change the lives of families. Drawing on decades of mediation experience, Joe Dillon shares both personal stories and professional insights, offering listeners practical frameworks and hope for navigating divorce with dignity. 🌟 Topics Covered: Joe Dillon’s background and Equitable Mediation’s resource-rich websiteThe myth that mediators have to be lawyersThe real cost of divorce: mediation vs. litigationEmotional pitfalls of divorce and why lawyers aren’t therapistsHow mediation fosters creative solutions for family, finances, and housingUsing scenario planning and “zone of agreement” for lasting outcomesThe rise of cohabitation and nesting arrangements post-divorceProprietary courses and resources for preparing for divorce, finance, and negotiationKey takeaways: Mediation can save you tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars, prevent emotional trauma, and give families more control over outcomes than litigation.The majority of divorce disputes are financial, making Joe Dillon’s finance background a key advantage in settlement and scenario planning.Creative agreements—like cohabitation, nesting, and flexible buyout plans—are possible and often essential, especially in high-cost housing markets.Emotional support and coaching are integral; divorce isn’t just paperwork, it’s an emotional journey that is better navigated with a holistic mediation team.Planning for future “what-ifs” in your divorce agreement saves massive strife down the road—use frameworks and scenario planning to decrease future conflict.Some questions I ask: “I thought you had to be a lawyer to be a mediator. Why is your finance background so valuable in these cases?”“Why does using lawyers often make emotional conflicts—and the bill—worse?”“What are some of the most creative solutions you’ve put together when couples couldn’t do a traditional buyout or sale of their house?”“How do you plan for the unknowns, the ‘what-ifs’ five years down the road, so couples don’t have to keep coming back to court?”“How does your process handle tough emotional stalemates, and when does mediation ever fail?”“Can people outside your six main states work with you or use your resources?”“Tell me about your courses—who are they for and what will they learn?”Learn more about our guest: Website: equitablemediation.comSchedule a free consult (for residents in six states): Via website appointment buttonsCheck out Joe & Cheryl Dillon’s mediation courses: https://www.equitablemediation.com/divorce-courses (Financial Preparation, Negotiation, Emotional Preparation)Read Joe’s blog, including the popular post on cohabitation after divorce: https://www.equitablemediation.com/blog@EquitableMediation on Instagram, Facebook and YouTubeResources list: Equitable Mediation: equitablemediation.comCourses: Divorce Financial Preparation, Divorce Negotiation, and more (link to courses)Blog post: “Can Living Together After Divorce Work?” Read HereMediation/Affordable mediation directories: Search for your state’s mediation association (e.g., New York Council on Divorce Mediators)Divorce mediation info for non-served states: Local court websites, mediation directories, or referrals by contactingJoe Dillon for recommendationsPodcast Sponsor: We are so excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a Season 2 sponsor.  Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

  7. Navigating a Traumatic Christmas: Support for Parental Alienation

    12/24/2025

    Navigating a Traumatic Christmas: Support for Parental Alienation

    🎙️ Welcome to a powerful holiday episode of Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! Host Mary Meyer is joined by parental alienation coach Charlie McCready live from England to discuss one of the most misunderstood and devastating traumas families can endure. In this heartfelt, informative conversation, Mary Meyer and Charlie McCready shine a spotlight on the hidden struggles of parents and children affected by parental alienation, especially during emotionally charged times like Christmas. Drawing from personal experience and years of coaching, Charlie McCready breaks down the phases and signs of alienation, offers strategies for healing, and provides hope for those facing what feels impossible. 🌟 Topics Covered: -What is parental alienation and how does it differ from estrangement?  -Pre-alienation: warning signs and subtle behaviors  -The emotional impact on parents (grief, isolation, shame, powerlessness, injustice, anxiety, fear, anger, guilt)  -Understanding the alienator and children’s coping mechanisms  -The psychological dynamics of narcissism and trauma  -How to support children and yourself during periods of alienation  -Navigating holidays and special occasions while alienated  -Why community support is crucial and what "help" actually looks like  -Resources and therapeutic methods for recovery  -Practical advice for friends, family, and professionals witnessing alienation Key takeaways:  -Parental alienation is real, traumatizing, and still widely misunderstood—even by legal and mental health professionals. It’s not just “bad blood after divorce” but a systematic undermining of a parent-child bond.  -Acceptance and hope are essential tools for healing: accept your present reality without giving up hope for reconnection.  -The emotional toll is profound and cyclical; parents need to prioritize their own healing as much as their desire to “fix” the relationship with their child.  -Recognize common traps: over-communication, responding to smear campaigns, and letting anxious thoughts dominate.  -The alienator’s behaviors often stem from their own untreated trauma and disorders. Understanding their patterns can help reduce escalation.  -Empathetic support from friends and professionals is lifesaving. Your presence and validation matter more than advice.  -Reconciliation is often possible, but requires patience, boundaries, and unconditional compassion. Some questions I ask:  -“What led you to become a parental alienation coach?”-“Can you describe the phases and signs of pre-alienation?”-“How can parents begin to heal emotionally, even in the worst moments?”-“What are those key triggers that escalate alienator behaviors?”-“How do you help parents differentiate between estrangement and alienation?”-“What practical steps do you recommend during holidays, when pain is most acute?”-“What can family, friends, and community members do to offer meaningful support?”-“Are there resources or therapies that make a real difference for those affected?” Learn more about our guest:  -Follow Charlie McCready on social media @CharlieMcCready1  -Website: CharlieMcCready.com -Contact for coaching: CharlieMcCready.com/coaching/ Resources list:  -Books on narcissism and trauma (specific titles not mentioned, but recommended by Charlie McCready)  -Search for information on EMDR therapy and attachment theory for trauma recovery  -Parental alienation support communities online -Look up “parental alienation coaching” and “attachment theory therapy” for more guidance -For statistics and deeper research, explore international parental alienation advocacy groups and relevant legal resources (no specific organizations listed in transcript) 🌟 Connect on @Instagram, @Facebook, @TikTok and @LInkedIn @HealthyHappyWiseWealthy Watch on @YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHappyWiseWealthyPodcast Know someone who should be a guest?

  8. Genetic Insights and Natural Wellness: Matthew Noble on Reclaiming Health Choices

    12/18/2025

    Genetic Insights and Natural Wellness: Matthew Noble on Reclaiming Health Choices

    🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this engaging episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with Matthew Noble, founder of The Practical Practitioner, for an in-depth exploration of personalized healthcare, the impact of genetics on health decisions, and the realities of navigating conventional medicine. From perimenopause challenges to the science behind intracellular NAD and trauma-informed wellness, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and eye-opening insights for anyone seeking a holistic and individualized approach to wellbeing. 🌟 Topics Covered:  -Why questioning the status quo in healthcare matters  -Genetic individuality and personalized treatment plans  -The shortcomings of conventional prescriptions, especially for women  -MTHFR gene and its implications for hormone regulation and methylation - What fasting and autophagy mean for different genetic profiles  -The impact of environmental toxins, processed foods, and prescription drug culture in the U.S.  -Practical science behind NAD, NMN, and cellular health  -Chiropractic care and Matthew Noble’s powerful personal recovery story  -The connection between trauma, neuroinflammation, and health outcomes -Breathwork and box breathing for trauma response -Social norming, corporate interests, and critical thinking in wellness Key takeaways:  -Don’t Accept the Status Quo: Be proactive, ask questions, and seek out individual solutions tailored to your body and genetics rather than generic advice or treatments.  -Genetic Mapping Influences Wellness: Understanding your genetic deviations (such as MTHFR, CYP1A2, FTO genes) can dramatically alter approaches to hormones, nutrition, fasting, and detox.  -U.S. Drug and Processed Food Culture Is Unique (and Problematic): Americans consume 95% of the world’s prescription drugs and 60% of their calories from junk carbs—a warning to seek healthier, more intentional paths.  -Intracellular NAD/NMN Is the Next Wave: Matthew Noble shares about proprietary NMN technology that enhances cellular health and even crosses the blood-brain barrier, with implications for anti-aging and inflammation.  -Trauma Has Profound Effects on Physical Health: Trauma can result in neuroinflammation and affect learning, pain, and overall wellbeing; recognizing and addressing trauma is key to recovery.  -Misdiagnoses in Medicine Can Be Dangerous: Over-prescribing and missing subtle genetic factors can lead to unnecessary suffering—specific, targeted testing is essential.  -Breathwork and Box Breathing Are Effective Tools: Simple breathwork patterns help regulate the nervous system and manage trauma responses naturally. Some questions I ask: - What should women know about hormones, especially during perimenopause? (And what are the risks of generic treatments?)  -Can you break down how fasting effects different bodies—especially in women and those with methylation issues?  -How does genetic mapping impact everyday choices like caffeine intake, diet, or exercise?  -What can patients and practitioners do to shift away from the broken medical and insurance system?  -What is intracellular NAD/NMN and why is it revolutionary for cellular health?  -Can you explain how trauma affects the brain and the body—and ways people can begin to heal?  -What is the role of chiropractic care, especially in your own recovery story?
