    You can run a boardroom, close a seven-figure deal, and lead a team through crisis without blinking, but divorce can still bring you to your knees. If you're a C-suite executive or high-achieving professional and you've felt your confidence crack behind closed doors while you keep it together at the office, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, you'll learn: Why "bringing the boardroom into the bedroom" sabotages divorce negotiations and what to do insteadHow to tell if your personal crisis is already bleeding into your leadership How to build a "C-suite" for your divorce If you're leading at work while quietly unraveling at home, this episode will remind you that vulnerability isn't weakness, it's strategy.

    #107 3 Financial Questions Every Woman Should Ask When Divorcing a Business Owner

    Does your husband own a business that he started before your marriage? Have you been told that because it's his business, you're not entitled to any of its value in your divorce? When a family's wealth is tied to one spouse's business, understanding what you're financially entitled to can become one of the most complicated parts of divorce. And just because your husband owned a company before you got married doesn't necessarily mean its growth during your marriage is off-limits. In this mini episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick, founder and CEO of Florida Women's Law Group, examines the high-profile divorce of hedge fund co-founder John Overdeck and his wife, Laura. With a reported $723 million divorce offer and a dispute over the value of business ownership, this case highlights important financial questions that women should understand before agreeing to a divorce settlement. Heather explains how these issues can affect women whose husbands own businesses of any size, from medical practices to family-owned companies. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a business established before marriage may still have marital value, particularly when its growth results from marital efforts or funds.How business income, distributions, and compensation decisions can affect your understanding of your family's true financial picture.Why reviewing business records, identifying financial advisors, and seeking independent legal guidance can help you protect your financial interests during divorce. Before you accept that your husband's business has nothing to do with your divorce, listen to this episode to understand the financial questions you need to ask and how to approach your next steps with greater confidence.

    What does it really mean to “win” a custody case, especially when you’re dealing with a high-conflict co-parent? When custody becomes contested, it’s easy to feel like every disagreement matters, every message requires a response, and the court should immediately recognize what’s really happening.

Drawing from her own decade-long custody battle and her experience coaching parents, Angela explains why winning isn’t about defeating your ex—it’s about staying grounded, building credibility, and making strategic, child-focused decisions. You’ll discover: How to identify the issues that truly matter in a custody case instead of getting pulled into every conflict.How to document patterns of behavior, communicate strategically, and build credibility with attorneys, judges, and other professionals.How to manage a high-conflict co-parent while focusing on what you can control, protecting your children, and rebuilding your life. Play this episode to learn how a more strategic, child-focused approach can help you navigate a high-conflict custody case with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.

    #240 What No One Tells You About Remarriage and Blending a Family After Divorce with Alex Harrison

    What if building a successful blended family has less to do with creating instant connection, and more to do with giving everyone the time, space, and support they need to adjust? Remarriage can feel like an exciting new beginning after divorce, but blending two families brings challenges that love alone may not prepare you for. From different parenting styles and relationships with ex-spouses to stepchildren struggling with loyalty, loss, and change, creating a healthy stepfamily takes patience, communication, and realistic expectations. In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick sits down with licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and stepfamily coach Alex Harrison to unpack what decades of research reveal about successful blended families. Alex shares why stepfamilies can take years to find their rhythm, why forcing an instant bond with stepchildren can backfire, and how couples can protect their marriage while navigating parenting differences and complex family dynamics. You’ll discover: Why healthy blended families often take two to seven years to truly find their groove and why that timeline can actually bring relief.How stepmoms and stepparents can build stronger relationships with stepchildren without forcing closeness, over-parenting, or taking on too much discipline too soon.The communication, parenting, and boundary-setting skills that can help couples navigate ex-spouses, different parenting styles, sibling relationships, and conflict without damaging their new marriage. Press play to learn how patience, realistic expectations, and stronger relationship skills can help you create a blended family that grows into lasting trust, connection, and resilience.

    #104 Can a Court Tell You How to Raise Your Child Religiously? This Case Could Test the Limits

    What happens when divorced parents fundamentally disagree about their child’s religious upbringing and neither parent is willing to compromise? Religion can be an intensely personal issue, but when parents share responsibility for raising a child after divorce, disagreements over faith can become much more than a difference of opinion. They can raise difficult questions about parental rights, co-parenting, a child’s emotional well-being, and how far a family court can go when deciding what is in a child’s best interests. In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick discusses a Maine custody dispute that could potentially reach the United States Supreme Court. The mother argues that restrictions involving taking her daughter to church violate her constitutional rights, while Maine’s highest court concluded that the custody decision was based on the child’s best interests rather than hostility toward her religion. Listen to the episode to learn: How courts may approach religious decision-making when divorced or separated parents cannot reach an agreement.Why a parent’s ability to co-parent and support their child’s relationship with the other parent can become critical in custody decisions.Why addressing disagreements about religion, education, healthcare, and other major parenting decisions early can help keep conflict from escalating into a larger legal battle. Play this episode to understand how religious freedom, parental rights, co-parenting, and your child’s best interests can collide in a custody case and what this developing case could mean for divorced parents.
