    3 Ways to Get Support During a High Conflict Divorce

    Rhonda sits down with former high school teacher turned high conflict divorce coach and advocate, Lisa Johnson. Lisa and Rhonda discuss coercive control, how laws are changing across the country, and ways you can navigate through the long and arduous process. Topics include:
     
    Find community: gather your team, both personal and professional
    Timeline - it’s a marathon: ways to stay in it for the long haul
    Enjoy your life (Yes, really!)



    About today’s guest: 
     
    Lisa Johnson is the co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high conflict divorce
    coach and certified domestic violence advocate who has successfully
    represented herself through scores of court appearances. Her case, published
    in the Connecticut Law Journal, is being used as legal precedent. Her live
    testimony helped pass Jennifers’ Law in Connecticut, the third state in
    America to expand its legal definition of domestic violence to include “coercive
    control.” 
     
    She and her partner, Chris, the male half of Been There Got Out,
    coach people in high-conflict relationships, divorce, custody battles, and
    co-parenting hell so they have the chance of the best outcome in family court
    and beyond. 
     
    They also offer a weekly Legal Abuse Support Group for those
    dealing with narcissistic opponents in legal matters. Their book, "Been There
    Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane
    Under Insane Circumstances'' was released in March 2023.

    Mediation: Is it the right option for you?

    You will love today’s guest! Lori Barkus of Sustainable Family Solutions sits down with Rhonda to talk about some of the misunderstandings around Mediation. While it can be a great option, you need to be sure you know exactly what the process entails - and what it does not.
     
    Know what mediation is - and what it isn’t
    What are some key things you should know and do before choosing mediation?
    Preparation is KEY!



    About today’s guest: 
     
    Lori Barkus is a cum laude graduate of the University of Miami School of Law. She is admitted to practice in Florida, Colorado, Georgia and the District of Columbia.

So helpful

There’s a wealth of information here that helped me during this difficult time.
Thank you!

Negative

I listened to 23 minutes of episode 152, as I am divorcing my covert narcissist husband. There was absolutely nothing helpful in the 23 minutes. I heard the sadness and anguish, and the story offered little hope. If you are hoping for help or hope, this is not the conversation you want.
