    Ep. 150: The Three Layers of Divorce

    What’s the hardest part of divorce? In this episode, I explore the deeper, often overlooked reasons that divorce can feel so challenging. Beyond the legal battles and financial worries, there are three layers of divorce that impact us: divorcing the spouse, divorcing the shared dreams and possessions, and divorcing the identity we've built within the marriage. Listen in as I break down how each layer affects our emotional state, as well as how they create an undercurrent of fear, uncertainty, and attachment that can make the divorce process feel overwhelming. You'll hear what you can do to stay strong as you confront these challenges and Stoic principles that can help as you navigate divorce. For show notes and more, visit: https://tinyurl.com/m6uxrjbd

In this episode, I sit down with Erik Feig, founder of Feig Mediation Group, to talk about how mediation can help families transition smoothly while prioritizing the unique needs of their children. Listen in to learn what it takes to tackle decisions that can feel overwhelming, how to create a solid co-parenting plan, and what you can do to manage stress along the way.

    Ep. 147: Traditional vs. Collaborative Divorce

    Divorce is often seen as a turbulent chapter in life, overshadowed by feelings of fear, separation, and scarcity. But what if we could rethink this transition as an opportunity for positive growth? Just as marriage begins with love, unity, and prosperity, divorce can also be guided by these powerful energies. In this episode, I’ll share key points of a presentation I attended, where a Florida circuit court judge discussed his role and some of the limitations that he faces as he presides over a docket of cases within the family court. Listen in to learn how to bring positive energy into divorce, as well as how collaborative divorce can remove the adversarial approach of the traditional legal battle.
