    How to Protect Your Finances, Children, and Future in Divorce Mediation

    In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder is joined by Keri Gwynne and Ryan Finley for a direct, practical conversation on what it actually takes to prepare for divorce mediation the right way. This is not about “getting through” mediation. This is about protecting your outcomes. Too many people walk into mediation unprepared. They are emotionally overwhelmed, unclear about their financial reality, and making real-time decisions that will impact them for years. This is where costly mistakes happen. This conversation breaks down how to approach mediation strategically across three critical areas: your children, your finances, and your long-term stability. Keri shares how detailed, well-structured parenting plans reduce conflict and protect children from being pulled into the middle. Ryan explains how to understand your full financial picture, when forensic accounting is worth the investment, and how to ensure nothing is being overlooked or hidden. Together, they highlight what real preparation looks like. Emotional regulation so you can think clearly under pressure, financial clarity so you know what you are agreeing to, and a defined strategy so you are not reacting in the moment. If you are heading into mediation or even thinking about it, this episode will challenge you to stop hoping it works out and start preparing so it does. Key Takeaways • Why mediation outcomes are directly tied to preparation, not luck • How detailed parenting plans prevent future conflict and protect children • The biggest financial mistakes people make before and during mediation • When it makes sense to investigate hidden assets and when it does not • How to walk into mediation with clarity on what you need and what you will accept • Why emotional regulation is critical to making sound decisions under pressure • The role of the right professionals in protecting your long-term outcomes About the Guests: Keri Gwynne is a Certified Divorce Coach and CEO of Starting Point by Freedom, a comprehensive divorce service offering coaching, mediation, and family-focused guidance.

    The “We’re Fine But Not Happy” Marriage: How to Reconnect Before It’s Too Late

    In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder sits down with relationship expert Dr. Lee Baucom, creator of the Save the Marriage System, to explore a dynamic many people experience but rarely talk about openly… the “we’re fine, but not happy” relationship. This conversation moves beyond high-conflict situations and focuses on the slow, often unnoticed drift that happens over time. As life becomes busier and priorities shift, many couples find themselves living parallel lives rather than building a shared one. The relationship continues to function, but the connection that once defined it begins to fade. Mardi and Lee discuss why so many people feel stuck between staying and leaving, and introduce a powerful third option… intentionally rebuilding the relationship in a way that is both realistic and sustainable. They also explore why common advice like date nights often falls short and what is actually required to create meaningful connection again. The episode highlights the importance of shifting from fear-based decision-making to purpose-driven action, identifying a deeper “why,” and creating simple, consistent habits that support reconnection over time. For anyone questioning their relationship or feeling emotionally disconnected, this episode offers a grounded and practical perspective on what is possible before making a final decision. Key Takeaways • Why many relationships settle into “okay but not great” • How couples gradually shift into parallel lives • The real reason surface-level fixes like date nights do not create lasting change • Why fear-based thinking keeps people stuck in indecision • How identifying a deeper “why” helps create momentum • What it means to adopt a team mindset in a relationship • Practical ways to begin rebuilding connection without overwhelm About the Guest: Dr. Lee Baucom is the creator of the Save The Marriage System, and an expert on thriving in life, as well as in relationships. He is the author of 7 books, the host of a podcast, and a frequent guest across media. He recently launched the Un-Pause App. In his personal life, he has been married for 37 years, has two adult children, and one side-kick dog. In his free time, he paddle boards, hikes, and plays pickleball.

    Divorce Financial Mistakes That Can Cost You Thousands

    In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder speaks with financial strategist and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst Donna Cates about the financial decisions in divorce that many people misunderstand and the costly mistakes that can follow. Donna shares her experience working with clients both during and after divorce, explaining how seemingly simple decisions can have long-term financial consequences. From tax implications to retirement accounts, she highlights how what looks “equal” on paper is often far from equal in reality. Mardi and Donna explore why many people feel overwhelmed or unprepared to make financial decisions during divorce, especially when they have not been involved in managing finances during the marriage. They emphasize the importance of understanding your options before agreeing to a settlement and the risks of relying solely on legal advice without financial expertise. This discussion includes: • Why equal asset division does not always mean equal value • Hidden tax consequences that can impact divorce settlements • How retirement accounts are divided and why timing matters • The role of a QDRO and common mistakes people make • Why keeping the marital home is not always the best financial decision The conversation also highlights how timing plays a critical role in financial decisions, particularly when it comes to retirement accounts, rollovers, and avoiding unnecessary penalties. Donna explains how missing key steps or delaying important actions can cost both time and money. About the Guest: Donna Cates is the founder of Money Matters Wealth Solutions and a Financial Strategist, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®), and retirement planning specialist who helps women become financially unshakeable. She works with women navigating major life transitions such as divorce, widowhood, retirement, and reinvention, guiding them to build real wealth, real security, and real options. Donna’s work isn’t about fear-based planning or playing small. It’s about clarity, confidence, and the power to choose on a woman’s own terms. She believes true financial security is about dignity, peace, and freedom, and that no woman should ever have to rely on someone else to protect her future.

    Rebuilding Your Life After Divorce Starts With This Shift

    In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder speaks with transformation coach Pritha Dindayal about how to rebuild your life after divorce without falling back into old patterns that no longer serve you. Pritha shares her deeply personal journey through multiple life transitions, including the end of a long-term relationship, career disruption, and profound personal loss. She speaks openly about the emotional impact of these experiences and how they shaped her understanding of change, resilience, and self-trust. Mardi and Pritha explore a common challenge many people face after divorce: while life circumstances may shift quickly, internal patterns of thinking and decision-making often take longer to evolve.

In this episode Pritha shares: • Why people often repeat patterns after divorce • How emotional pain can influence decision-making • The importance of self-awareness during life transitions • How to recognize and shift limiting beliefs • Practical ways to move forward with intention and clarity The conversation also highlights the importance of support, whether through coaching or community, in identifying blind spots and creating meaningful change. Pritha encourages listeners to slow down, ask honest questions, and begin making choices that align with who they are becoming, not who they have been. About the Guest: Pritha Dindayal is a Transformation Coach who helps women navigate the in-between phase after something ends — a breakup, divorce, career shift, or identity change. She works with women who look fine on the outside but feel unsettled, stuck, or unsure on the inside. Pritha helps women recognize the invisible patterns they keep defaulting to and learn how to live from who they are now, not who they used to be.

    How to Reclaim Your Space and Home After Divorce

    In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder speaks with Kim Costa, top Realtor® and creator of the Wheelhouse Method, about how to reclaim your space and create a home that supports your next chapter after divorce. Kim brings both professional expertise and personal experience to the conversation, sharing how divorce can reshape not only your life but also your relationship with your home. She explains that decisions about staying, moving, or renovating are not just practical choices, but deeply personal ones that influence your sense of identity, stability, and well-being. Mardi and Kim explore how your environment plays a powerful role in emotional recovery and how small, intentional changes can help you feel more grounded and in control during a time of transition. Whether it is removing items tied to the past, updating your space, or rethinking how your home functions, these changes can support healing and forward momentum. In this episode, we answer: • How to decide whether to stay, move, or renovate after divorce • Why your living environment impacts emotional recovery • Simple, budget-friendly ways to refresh your space • How to let go of items connected to the past • Why taking time before making big housing decisions matters Kim also shares practical insight on how to approach these decisions thoughtfully, including the importance of community, lifestyle, and long-term needs. The conversation encourages listeners to see their home as a foundation for growth, not just a place to live. About the Guest: Kim Costa is a Top 5% Realtor® with Sotheby's International Realty and creator of The Wheel House Method—a framework designed to help women navigate divorce's biggest question: what to do about the house. With over 30 years of experience in real estate, construction, and design, plus a background as a small business controller, Kim brings both financial expertise and emotional intelligence to this vulnerable transition. Through The Wheel House Method's eight life dimensions—health, career, fun and leisure, family and friends, spirituality, romance, environment, and finance—Kim helps divorcing women evaluate whether to keep, sell, or start fresh. Her approach ensures decisions support their new chapter rather than anchor them to the past.
