    Becoming a Better Mother In Divorce: A Client Spotlight with Shari

    What if, in the middle of divorce, you didn’t just get through it — but slowly began to feel stronger and more like yourself again? In this episode, I sit down with Shari, a brave mother who shares her honest divorce journey, from early fear and uncertainty to rebuilding trust in herself and creating stability for her children. With humor and heart, she opens up about the messy middle — the doubts, the pressure of others’ opinions, and the quiet moments of finding clarity again. Shari reflects on learning to set boundaries, listen to her intuition, and take care of herself in a way that ultimately made her a more present, grounded mother. If you’re divorce-curious, in the thick of it, or wondering how you’ll find your footing, this conversation is an invitation to lean in and remember what’s possible. As Shari shares: “As a result of this journey I have evolved as a mother. I am much more present. I pick my battles. It’s not perfect, but it’s really incredible to see myself evolve because I truly took care of me. It’s made me a much better mom.” Bottom line: Even if it took a long runway to get here, meaningful change can happen quickly when you invest in yourself. Mama to mama — this, too, is waiting for you. 💛 — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy early stages of divorce with clarity and confidence.

    An Attorney’s Advice to Divorcing Mothers: What to Know Before You Hire a Lawyer

    Most mamas walk into their first meeting with a divorce lawyer nervous, overwhelmed… and assuming the attorney will somehow know what to do next. But what if that assumption is quietly costing women time, money, and unnecessary suffering? In this episode, I share a conversation that gave me real hope—one that affirmed something I see every day in my work with mothers navigating divorce: the condition you’re in while divorcing matters more than most people realize. We explore: - A common misunderstanding about what lawyers are (and aren’t) there to do - Why being “prepared” has less to do with paperwork than you think - What to pay attention to during that first consultation—beyond credentials - How clarity, grounding, and intuition shape divorce outcomes - Why the right support outside the legal system can change everything This isn’t about doing divorce perfectly or knowing all the answers upfront. It’s about learning how to take your seat at the table—calmly, confidently, and in alignment with what matters most to you and your kids. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.

    The Real Cost of Divorce: What No One Prepares You For

    Divorce is expensive… but not always in the way you think. There’s a cost most women aren’t prepared for when they begin this process—and it’s rarely discussed in those first meetings, when decisions are being made fast and emotions are running high. In this episode, I share a perspective that often surprises mamas navigating divorce—and quietly changes the way they move through it. We touch on: - A hidden factor that drives divorce costs up (and how to interrupt it) - Why legal support alone isn’t enough - What it really means to take a proactive role in your divorce - The difference between reacting and leading during this season This isn’t about doing divorce “perfectly.”It’s about understanding what’s actually at stake—and choosing to move through it with clarity, support, and self-trust. Because your divorce may cost money…but it doesn’t have to cost you yourself. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.
