Divorce Goddess Podcast

Delighted to be talking to family lawyer Connie Atkinson of Kingsley Napley LLP about divorce and relocation. Whether you or your ex wants to move away, we talk about the impact it can have on those you love and your children's experience of living as a two-parent family moving forwards. Not forgetting the why, when it is done mindfully, how it can affect all of your lives more positively moving forwards. Work, schools and family are all important considerations when going through a divorce and, the quality of a much already changed life can be affected not only by the rising cost of living, fuel and house prices, but the ease of access and time with both parents, all of this going into the recipe of where you call your post-divorce home.

Kind is CLEVER It’s not being triggered It’s holding yourself accountable It’s responding not reacting It’s a habit It’s in all of us, we just need to remember to use it more. To overcome those thoughts that say “fight”, “it’s the principle’, “how dare they” and come back to what feels right for you and no one else, that’s right - just you.

Main learnings: How money mindset affects you through life and specifically divorce What the archetypes are that influence your relationship with money How to recognise the archetypes and how they work What happens to you and money when you begin to look at where your money mindset comes from Backed by over 35 years experience in finance - retail, business, private and international banking – Martine has added a philosophical and spiritual dimension to her practice as an asset manager gained through her studies, Asian philosophies and interest in psychology and specifically the work of Carl Jung. Having made a choice to join her companion in the UK and leave the comfort of her executive management position and financial security she found for the first time in her life she was without pay and income.

Tosh has the pleasure of talking to Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond Co-Founders of Our Happy Divorce, a service that offers guidance on creating a post-divorce happy, modern family and Authors of "Our Happy Divorce - How Ending Our Marriage Brought Us Together". Why they made the decisions they did to support a 'happy divorce' and focus on their Son through the process. This is an honest, frank and authentic conversation with two great, kind and generous people sharing their 'why' to help, support and inspire others thinking about or going through a divorce to choose a kinder, more compassionate and ultimately a happier path. Nikki DeBartolo understands the impact of a loving family and how it creates a solid foundation for the future for a person navigating through life, love, marriage, and motherhood. Having grown up as a member of the iconic San Francisco 49ers football family, the values she learned on the field from a young age, have helped shape who she is today. As Executive Vice President of DeBartolo Holdings and the DeBartolo Family Foundation, Nikki has made it her mission to give back to her community in every way possible, from supporting local grassroots movements to national charities, she has been part of multiple initiatives, giving back to her community, including, Metropolitan Ministries, Meal on Wheels, The Boys and Girls Club, The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, and the HCSO Freddie Solomon Christmas Event.  She is proud of the accomplishments that the DeBartolo Family Foundation has been able to share with nonprofits and enjoys when those moments come to life, making the Tampa Bay community – where she lives with her husband, Chad, son, Asher, and their two dogs – feel more like a family.  Ben Heldfond understands the detriment divorce can cause in the lives of children, as his parents’ divorce instilled a deep commitment to 'do' better for his children one day. He is also the owner of Heldfond Holdings, LLC, a company that invests in a wide variety of companies, including real estate, private equity and venture capital. His corporate career began more than three decades ago in real estate career, where he played an integral part in the company’s development acquisitions and diversified investing transactions. He has always had a passion for helping others and since then has been involved with several non-profit organizations; focused on addiction recovery, including, Facing Addiction w/NCADD, Road Recovery, Phoenix House, Young People in Recovery and American Cancer Society Tampa CEO Council with a focus on Governance, Finance and Strategic Planning.    He is a graduate from The University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor of Science degree in African American History and Business Administration.

Gratitude has the power to transform everything; our perceptions, our experiences and our state of mind. So many of us come to this journey with a whole heap of hurts, disappointments and fear. Feeling grateful is something that just feels so far from where you are – be grateful for divorce – come on!!! You may be feeling full of the things you haven’t got and all the things that have gone wrong… however, this is where the benefits of gratitude step up to your table. It may sound too simple to even think it can make a difference – we experience life as being difficult and something that is easy to change how we are feeling doesn’t quite make sense, trust me on this – it does!
