    What If I Miss the Signs Again? Red Flags and Dating After Divorce with Justin Smith

    At some point after a divorce, someone is going to ask if you are ready to start dating again. And even if the answer is yes, there is often a quieter question sitting underneath it: what if I miss the signs again? In this episode, Angie sits down with Justin Smith, a Tampa-based entrepreneur and the founder of Cray, a dating and relationship safety app built around more than 70 research-backed red flags. Justin created it after his own eight-year relationship ended in a way he never saw coming, and after doing the long, unglamorous work of figuring out what he had missed. This conversation is less about apps than it is about awareness. Justin walks through the two red flags he says show up fastest and matter most, why you are dating someone's representative for the first six to twelve months, and the question he keeps coming back to when words and behavior do not match. He and Angie also get into how long to wait before introducing a partner to your kids, how the same red flag framework applies to a co-parenting relationship, and why walls up after heartbreak tends to attract exactly the wrong people. There is also a clear-eyed caution in here that we think matters. Understanding red flags is not the same as diagnosing someone, and Justin is direct about the difference.

    It's Never Just a House: How to Decide Whether to Keep or Sell in Divorce with Kimberly Reeves

    Who gets the house? It is one of the first questions that comes up in a divorce, and one of the hardest to answer, because a house is never only a house. It is the kitchen, the pencil marks on the door frame, the first Christmas. And it is also, for most families, the single largest financial asset on the table. In this episode, host Angie Weber sits down with Kimberly Reeves, a real estate advisor and the founder of Reeves Advisory Collective, who helps people make smart real estate decisions during life's biggest transitions. Kimberly walks through how she actually starts the conversation, beginning with the value of the home, then moving into upkeep, school districts, community, and what the monthly payment would really look like for one person. She also gets specific about the things people miss. Capital gains exposure drops from five hundred thousand dollars for a married couple to two hundred fifty thousand for a single filer, which matters enormously in a gray divorce where a home has appreciated for thirty years. Refinancing costs that never get factored into the split. Creative options like renting a room or renting short term while life settles. And the questions to ask any real estate agent before you hire them. If you are staring at this decision and feeling frozen, this conversation will give you a next right step.

    Do You Recognize Yourself Anymore? Nervous System Healing and Breathwork for Divorce with Romy Limenes

    Have you walked past a mirror lately and not quite recognized the person looking back? Long before the papers, before the hard conversations, something in your body was already bracing. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, host Angie Weber sits down with Romy Limenes, a trauma-informed coach, breathwork facilitator, and former nurse who found her way back to herself after her own marriage ended. Romy shares what actually happens in your body when a relationship comes apart, why divorce can feel so disorienting on every level, and how we slowly lose ourselves inside relationships without even realizing it. Drawing on both her science background and her lived experience, she explains how your nervous system learned to protect you, and how it can also learn to undo that pattern one small practice at a time. You'll learn the difference between thinking your way through pain and actually feeling your way through it, why breathwork is the fastest way to shift your physiology, and simple tools like notice and name that you can start using today. If you've been running on fight or flight for longer than you can remember, this conversation is an invitation to come home to yourself.

    Fair Isn't Always 50/50 with Donna Cates

    For many women, divorce isn't just the end of a relationship. It's the beginning of taking full ownership of their financial life, sometimes for the very first time. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, DSC Director, Angie Weber, sits down with Donna Cates, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), wealth builder, and founder of Money Matters Wealth Solutions and Navigating Divorce, to talk about how women can move from overwhelmed to empowered when it comes to their money. Donna explains the biggest mistake she sees women make in divorce (rushing decisions while deep in their emotions), why a settlement that looks equal on paper often isn't actually fair, and the three first steps every woman should take: gather your financial data, understand what it truly costs to live your lifestyle, and define your real priorities. She shares why a CDFA sees your finances through a different lens than a traditional financial planner, how to handle a high-conflict spouse who won't share information, and why it's never too late to get help as long as you're still negotiating. Whether you're just starting to think about divorce or you're already in the thick of it, this conversation will help you feel less overwhelmed and more in control of your financial future.  Connect with Donna: www.moneymatterswealth.com instagram.com/donnacates/ facebook.com/MoneyMattersWealth/ facebook.com/DivorceDivasAlabama/ linkedin.com/in/donnacates/ This is Episode 11 of the Divorce Discussions Podcast by the Divorce Support Collective, where we seek to reimagine the process of divorce through collaboration and support.

    Who Should You Call First?

    Divorce doesn't just end a relationship, it completely reshapes your finances. And most people don't realize that until they're already in the middle of it, making fast decisions about income, assets, and their long-term security without really understanding how it all fits together. This episode is here to create some clarity. Angie Weber sits down with Melissa Murphy Pavone, a certified financial planner and certified divorce financial analyst (CDFA) with over a decade of experience and the founder of Mindful Divorce Partners. Melissa is also the author of Divorce by Design: A Practical Guide to Building the Right Divorce Team and Protecting Your Financial Future, and her whole philosophy centers on one powerful idea: you shouldn't do this alone, and you shouldn't call the financial or legal people first. In this conversation, Melissa explains why emotional support should come before the finances, the difference between a financial neutral and a financial advocate, the biggest financial blind spots she sees (including why $250,000 in one account is not the same as $250,000 in another), the social media divorce myths worth ignoring, and how to rebuild your financial confidence after the decree is signed. Whether you're quietly wondering what divorce might look like or you're already post-decree and figuring out your next chapter, this episode will help you feel more grounded and a lot less alone.

    Will Divorce Mess Up My Kids? with Jill Kaufman

    "This divorce is going to mess up my kids." It might be the single biggest fear holding parents in place, and in this episode of Divorce Discussions, we meet it head on. Divorce Support Collective Director, Angie Weber, sits down with Jill Kaufman, a therapist, divorce coach, mediator, and co-parenting expert who went through her own difficult divorce and made it her life's mission to help other parents have it a little less tough. Jill shares why staying in an unhealthy marriage "for the kids" can do more harm than good, the costly mistake most parents make the moment they file, and how to get your emotions in check so you can actually think clearly and negotiate from a place of strategy instead of pain. She walks through real, usable tools, including a visualization called the bubble technique for high-conflict triggers, how to tell your children in an age-appropriate way, and what to do when a new partner enters the picture. Whether you're contemplating divorce, in the thick of co-parenting, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you with practical strategies and a deep breath of reassurance: your kids are resilient, and so are you.

    Can I Keep the House? The Truth About Mortgages and Divorce with Karla Kyte

    The marital home is so much more than the biggest asset on the table. It's stability, it's memories, it's where life happened.  And the decisions you make about the house during a divorce can follow you for years if they're made without the right information. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie Weber sits down with Karla Kyte, a nationally recognized divorce mortgage planning consultant with 28 years of lending experience and a Certified Divorce Lending Professional who has guided more than 400 divorcing couples through their housing decisions. Karla breaks down the most common (and most expensive) mistakes people make with the house, why a divorce decree does not actually remove someone from a mortgage, and how loan assumptions and releases of liability work when you're trying to hold onto that low interest rate. She also explains why getting this work done before the decree is signed can save you thousands, and in one real case, over a hundred thousand dollars. If the house is the question keeping you up at night, this conversation will help you understand your options before those choices become permanent.

    The 80% of Divorce No One Warns You About: A Divorce Coach Explains with Christin Becker

    If you're in the thick of divorce, you already know the hardest part isn't the paperwork. It's the 2am spiral, the text that hijacks your whole day, the quiet question of whether you'll ever feel like yourself again. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie Weber sits down with Christin Becker, a certified divorce coach and Divorce Support Collective member who walked away from a 27-year marriage and came out the other side thriving. Christin's signature framework is simple and a little startling: divorce is 80% emotional, 10% legal, and 10% financial. If you aren't tending to that 80%, she explains, you'll end up making expensive, emotionally charged legal and financial decisions you can't take back. She breaks down what a divorce coach actually does (and how it's different from a therapist), a simple circles exercise for letting go of what you can't control, and her go-to communication rule for high conflict co-parenting: keep it concise, informative, and civil. She also gets honest about the part nobody promises you, that there's a real, joyful life waiting on the other side. From DoorDashing during lonely dinner hours to sending her daughters to Maui, Christin shows what rebuilding actually looks like.
