    Unlock ADHD Strategies For Divorce Success with Leanne Gawley

    In this episode, the conversation centers around the unique challenges that women with ADHD and other neurodivergent traits may face when moving through divorce and major relationship changes. Leanne Gawley, founder of The ADHD Advantage, joins the podcast to share her personal experiences as a late-diagnosed adult with ADHD and how this discovery reshaped her approach to both her personal and professional life. Leanne discusses how her own journey, sparked by advocating for her son and later recognizing similar patterns in herself and her husband, highlighted the often-missed ways ADHD presents in women, particularly the internalized struggles and strong feelings of self-blame. Mardi and Leanne move the discussion into the practical realities of navigating stressful life events for neurodivergent individuals, particularly when organization, deadlines, and overwhelming administrative tasks become unavoidable. Leanne offers supportive strategies, including breaking tasks into manageable steps, celebrating small achievements, and designing routines that honor rather than fight against how her brain works. She also speaks to the importance of having professionals who are understanding and flexible, especially for clients whose thought processes and needs may not fit standard expectations.

    Pros and Cons Of a DIY Divorce with Guest Tracey Bee JD

    In this episode, the conversation centers around the real-life pros and cons of handling a divorce on your own. Mardi Winder talks with Tracey Bee, sharing her story as a former family law attorney turned court strategist. Listeners get a down-to-earth look at what it really takes to go through divorce without hiring a lawyer. Tracey talks about why she left traditional law to help people complete their own divorce, and she’s honest about how tough family court can be, especially when there’s conflict, complicated finances, or one party who isn’t playing fair. Throughout the episode, there’s an emphasis on knowing when a DIY (pro se) divorce might make sense, such as in straightforward situations with little drama or complicated financial matters. Tracey also highlights a few warning signs that signal you really should have a lawyer, including abuse, a language barrier, or big financial stakes. She points out that judges and attorneys have their own way of operating, which often doesn’t line up with what people expect from watching TV or reading online, so it’s important to have realistic expectations from the start.  There’s plenty of practical advice on preparing for mediation, getting clear about what you want, and not getting too caught up in specific outcomes. Tracey and Mardi remind listeners to focus on what their life could look like after the divorce, rather than just fighting for one result or another. The episode wraps with a genuinely helpful reminder: just because you can handle things solo doesn’t always mean it’s the best choice, and having the right support and information is what really makes the difference.  Streamed on www.NEWStreamingNetwork.com Connect with Mardi: Email: Mardi@poscs.com Website: divorcecoach4women.com  About the Guest Tracey Bee is the Founder of The Divorce Solutionist and a former family law attorney turned Pro Se Family Court Strategist.

    Pets and Divorce: What You Should Consider with Guest, Karis Nafte

    This episode takes a thoughtful look at something a lot of people don’t think about right away when going through a divorce: what to do about the family pet. The conversation centers around Karis Nafte, a pet custody mediator, who brings both humor and compassion to a subject that can get surprisingly complicated and emotional. With years of experience in dog behavior and working with separating families, Karis has seen firsthand how pets can get caught in the middle, sometimes becoming part of the conflict instead of just innocent bystanders. The discussion highlights how easily pets can become a source of tension, whether on purpose or simply because everyone is hurting and unsure. Karis encourages people to get honest about what their pets really need rather than letting old arguments or guilt make the decisions. She explains why not every dog, or cat, horse, or even pig, will adjust the same way to living in two homes, and why it’s important to look at the animal’s breed, age, and personality before making big changes.  There’s also a practical side to this episode, with plenty of advice about setting up healthy routines for pets during stressful times and thinking carefully before jumping into shared custody, especially if kids aren’t in the picture. Karis shares stories, tips, and a bit about her new book, all aimed at helping families figure out the best way forward for their furry family members and for themselves.  Streamed on www.NEWStreamingNetwork.com  Connect with Mardi: Email: Mardi@poscs.com Website: divorcecoach4women.com About our Guests Karis Nafte, is the founder and owner of Who Keeps the Dog, Pet Custody Mediation.

    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.

    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.
