    Breaking the Silence on Childhood Abuse - Dr. Pamela J. Pine

    Mardi Winder talks with Dr. Pamela J. Pine, an international health development professional and leading advocate on preventing and addressing child sexual abuse and other adverse childhood experiences. Together, they address the often unspoken realities of how conflict, whether high, moderate, or even low-level, within families can deeply affect children, shaping their lives long after the events themselves. Dr. Pine shares her personal and professional journey, including the influence of her upbringing and her mother’s commitment to social justice, and outlines how she was drawn into this challenging and vital field. The conversation covers the broad range of trauma children can experience, from witnessing domestic violence to direct abuse and neglect, and how these experiences manifest not just emotionally, but also neurologically and physically throughout life. Dr. Pine emphasizes the importance of understanding that most instances of abuse occur within trusted circles, dispelling myths of stranger danger and highlighting the impact of family dynamics. The episode also focuses on the power of communication and honesty with children, the dangers of secrecy, and practical ways parents and communities can support those at risk. Mardi and Dr. Pine encourage listeners to increase their awareness, offer support, and push for open discussions in community spaces.  Streamed on www.NEWStreamingNetwork.com Connect with Mardi: Email: Mardi@poscs.com Website: divorcecoach4women.com  About the Guest Pamela J.

    Empowered Money Conversations with Guest, Julia Shteynberg

    Mardi Winder sits down with Julia Shteynberg, who brings her experience from the world of corporate finance to her work as a money coach. The conversation is friendly and easy-going, and Julia is quick to reassure listeners that you don’t have to be a celebrity or a billionaire to be considered a high earner. In fact, anyone bringing in over $100,000 is already facing many of the same emotional and practical challenges around money. Julia opens up about her own journey, explaining how she left her corporate job because it just wasn’t lighting her up anymore. She shares how money always seemed to “make sense” to her, and after some encouragement from family, she realized she could help others too, especially women, feel more confident and less stressed when it comes to their finances. She reminds us that so much of how we handle money is tied to the habits and beliefs we pick up as kids, often without even realizing it. Throughout the chat, Mardi Winder and Julia Shteynberg swap stories about fear, avoidance, and how people can feel stuck or overwhelmed, even when they appear to be doing well. Julia talks about things like “lifestyle creep” and the difference between spending with intention and just letting money slip through your fingers. She also breaks down the idea of creating simple systems, setting goals, making plans, and putting habits in place, so money feels less stressful and more like a tool you can actually use to support your life, whether you’re going through big changes like divorce or just trying to feel more secure day to day.  Streamed on www.NEWStreamingNetwork.com  Connect with Mardi: Email: Mardi@poscs.com Website: divorcecoach4women.com About Julia Shteynberg: Once in corporate finance, now a money coach, Julia Shteynberg helps high earners design a custom money system that aligns with their values and grows wealth.

She highlights how having a clear understanding of the financial aspects—particularly through documentation, cash flow analysis, and setting specific goals—can serve as an anchor amid the turbulence of divorce. Mardi and Victoria acknowledge the emotional hurdles many face, from gaslighting to trauma bonding, and explore why specialized, trauma-informed guidance is critical when standard legal approaches fall short. Together, they offer practical strategies for uncovering and verifying financial information, even when the other party is uncooperative or deceptive. Victoria Kirilloff explains how working closely with professionals like CDFAs can empower those in the process, helping to minimize stress and avoid costly, drawn-out legal battles.
