They emphasize the importance of communication, flexibility, and putting the needs of the children first. The conversation also touches on the author's journey to becoming an author and the fulfillment she finds in helping others going through divorce. Overall, the conversation promotes the idea that divorce doesn't have to be negative and toxic, but can be approached in a way that prioritizes the well-being of everyone involved. Sarah Armstrong, good divorce proponent and author of The Mom’s Guide to a Good Divorce, is vice-president of global marketing operations at Google and proud mom of Grace, who graduated from high school in 2021 and is in her junior year of college. Sarah is a mentor to other women in business and longtime volunteer at various nonprofit organizations, including the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation, Georgetown Alumni Admissions Program and local soup kitchens.

Website: https://www.momsguidetogooddivorce.com Takeaways: Divorce is a starting over moment that requires reflection and setting a vision for what you want your life to look like. Compartmentalization is key in co-parenting to prevent negative emotions from impacting children. Providing the basics and minimizing disruptions in a child's life can make the transition between two homes easier. Acknowledging mistakes and striving to do better is important in co-parenting. Children learn more by observing than by what we tell them, so it's important to model resilience, strength, and self-control. A good divorce is possible with intention, communication, and a focus on the well-being of the children involved. Co-parenting after divorce requires effective communication, flexibility, and putting the needs of the children first. Divorce doesn't have to be negative and toxic; it can be approached in a way that prioritizes the well-being of everyone involved. The journey of becoming an author can be surprising and fulfilling, especially when the book helps others going through challenging times.

    Hacks to Find the Humor in Stepparenting with Amy Stone

    Download your Start Again Plan Here: https://www.shaunnalee.com/startagain This has been one of my most enlightening conversations on this show! Step-parenting is one of the hardest things I've ever done and today's episode brings all the tips and tricks you need to master this phase of life. Amy Stone is a mentor and coach for stepparents. As a mentor and a coach, she supports adults in blended families with tools and strategies to empower them to create a life they love.  Amy understands that it can be a little scary to ask for support when it comes to questions about your relationship and your family but coaching with Amy is a safe space where you can set down your concerns with somebody who has decades of personal experience as a stepmom and even more years of experience as a child of divorced parents.  Through coaching, you will receive support and learn strategies to help you organize the new family roles, identities, and even household duties so that all members of the family will feel secure, beloved, confident, and valued in your home. This is not just about the kids, this includes YOU.  If you are currently experiencing stress, drama or conflict, coaching with Amy can help you improve family communications and create connectivity and connection. Coaching is about creating change which means that working with Amy is about taking action to make things better … not about staying stuck in frustration.  Amy is a mom, a stepmom, and a step-grandma. Her personal journey as a stepmom is what inspires her passion to help stepparents and adults in stepfamilies. When she isn’t helping families you might find her running, or paddleboarding or relaxing with her toes in the sand at the beach. She also loves to read good fiction novels and has what might be a slight obsession with homemade sourdough bread.  You can find Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theamysaysso/ Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-stone-8923a3124/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amysaysso_coaching Podcast: https://anchor.fm/amy-stone2 YouTube: @AmyStone  Other Important Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ShaunnaLee.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Start Again Guide Divorce Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠So You're Divorced, So What?⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@SimplyShaunnaLee⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@SimplyShaunnaLee⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shaunna-lee/support

    Retirement Reinvented: Become an Author in your Third Act with Guy Morris

    Download your Start Again Guide here: https://www.shaunnalee.com/startagain In this episode, you will meet Guy Morris, an author and business leader who shares his journey of starting again in his third-act career. He discusses his transition from the corporate world to becoming a successful author and the inspiration behind his books. He also talks about the importance of continuous learning and the impact of artificial intelligence on society. Guy shares his experience of starting the Author Event Network to promote and sell books at festivals and events. He offers advice to his younger self and discusses his future plans as an author. Retired from a 38-year executive career with Fortune 100 software, high-tech and global energy, Guy Morris has also been a published song writer for Disney Records, a patented inventor, a Coast Guard charter captain, an adventurer, and now, a self-published author of thrillers. From cartel death threats in Latin America to the shark diving in Moorea – from a Board Room to a recording studio - from child homelessness to corporate jets, Guy pulls from a rich life of diverse experience to write books that thrill, educate, and inspire thoughtful dialogue on genuine issues facing humanity. Since his 2021 debut, Guy has released three pulse-pounding thrillers inspired by true stories, actual technologies, global politics and history. His Kirkus recommended books have earned BookTrib’s Best 25 Books of 2021, Reader’s Favorite Gold and Silver Awards, finalist for IAN Book of the Year, and semi-finalist for Cinematic Book. His articles have been published in SD Voyager and Mystery & Suspense magazines. In early 2022, he formed the non-profit Author Event Network association, where local accomplished authors collaborate to sign books at community events and festivals to engage readers, build platform and sell more books at higher margins.    You can find Guy here: Web: https://www.guymorrisbooks.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/guybmorris/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialGuyMorrisBooks Twitter: https://twitter.com/guymorrisbooks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorguymorris/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGi3JinUp6w24dJmDVq3ZKg Key Takeaways: Transitioning to a new career in your third act can be fulfilling and intellectually stimulating. Continuous learning is essential for personal growth and success. Artificial intelligence has the power to change the world, but it also poses risks that need to be addressed. Promoting and selling books at festivals and events can be a successful marketing strategy for authors. Focus on the things that truly matter and chase them well. Traveling can provide inspiration and research opportunities for writers. Being an author is a meaningful endeavor that allows you to share stories and insights with readers. Sound Bites "Retirement just means putting on a new set of tires and starting over." "I can't write something interesting unless I'm learning something interesting." "AI has tremendous power to change the world, but also has some tremendous risks that we're not fully addressing."
