HOW TO PREPARE FOR A DIVORCEHOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Lisa Zeiderman, Matrimonial Attorney, CFL, and Certified Divorce Financial AnalystSUMMARY:Preparing for a divorce is a complex and emotionally challenging process that involves multiple facets, from the legal aspects to the emotional well-being of those involved. Understanding how to prepare for it and getting the right people on your team is key to better results. Seeking out an experienced divorce attorney, therapist, divorce coach, and divorce financial analyst as needed to help at different times with different issues can make the journey smoother. Each divorce is unique, so tailoring your preparation to your specific situation is key to achieving the best possible results. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Lisa Zeiderman, a matrimonial attorney, CFL, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and Managing Partner at Miller Zeiderman LLP, based in New York. Together, they discuss preparations for divorce, the steps you need to take to get the best results, and the professional you need in your divorce team to help you navigate the complexities of divorce, make informed decisions, and work towards a more positive future.KEY TAKEAWAYS:· If you are thinking about divorce, you should first sit down and create a spreadsheet of assets, liabilities, and expenses and gather documents such as tax returns, brokerage statements, bank statements, and credit card statements for backup when you consult an attorney.· Word of mouth and support group recommendations can help you find a good match for your divorce process. You can also get a good match from bar associations, ABA sites, super lawyers sites, LinkedIn, and podcasts.· What should I look for in an attorney, and what questions to ask? Look for an attorney who is listening, understands your situation, and has experience doing the kind of work needed in your case. They need to click, and if you feel like you are in a hustle and have a genuine difference in opinion during the consultation, they might not be a good fit.· How can I be the best client for my attorney? The first thing is to be truthful, detailed, timely, and realistic with your expectations. Divorce is like a second job; being truthful, transparent, timely, and realistic will help you get the best results and build a relationship with your attorney.NOTABLE QUOTES:· Overwhelm is how people feel in a divorce, and sometimes attorneys may overlook the fact that you are not used to the terminologies and what is going on. Having a divorce team is crucial because you can ask the divorce coach, therapist, or financial analyst questions to help you understand what's happening. (Lisa)· The number one mistake you can make in a divorce is letting your emotions hijack you, so you lose the ability to think clearly and make good decisions. Unless you work through that, your attorney can't be as effective because you are not fulfilling the role of being an educated and informed client. (Beverly)· Being truthful is very important; you do not want your attorney to be blindsided or go to court and find out something different from what you are saying because they will look foolish in front of the judge. Make sure you are an accurate recorder. (Lisa)· There are so many limitations for settlement, so don't set your standards so high that it's impossible to meet; you need to understand that there is an income that is less to go around, and you

FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER DIVORCE HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Leah Hadley, founder and CEO of Great Lakes Divorce Financial Solutions SUMMARY: One of the things that most divorced women struggle with is financial confidence. Financial confidence is a critical factor to consider before, during, and after a divorce. Before divorce proceedings commence, it's essential to have a clear understanding of your financial situation, including assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. This knowledge is a powerful tool that will help you make informed decisions and negotiate equitable settlements. Ultimately, financial confidence involves not only obtaining the necessary financial information but also getting organized and seeking support from a divorce financial specialist who can provide expert guidance in navigating the complex financial aspects of divorce. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Leah Hadley, the founder and CEO of Great Lakes Divorce Financial Solutions. Together, they discuss how you can build your financial confidence before, during, and after divorce. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Financial fears run the gamic when it comes to divorce. So many women are terrified they will run out of money, not have the income to support themselves, and give up the lifestyle and community they enjoy.Financial abuse can show up in various ways, including limited access to financial information, reduced access to finances, and concealed assets. What kind of financial professionals should I have in my divorce team? When you are going through a divorce, it's important that you have professionals who have credentials in divorce-specific areas.Even the same assets can have different tax returns, and you have to consider the different implications when negotiating and dividing assets.No matter what assets you want, if you are considering financial security after divorce, you have to prioritize having liquid cash assets when negotiating. Cash is king. Prioritize it and ensure you have access to it. NOTABLE QUOTES:You should always have access to information about your own financial situation; it's a big red flag if it's a trigger or an issue for somebody to bring up a topic around their financial situation. (Bela) Not every asset comparison is equal; if you want to keep the house and your partner gets the 401k, there are different tax implications that make the net not equal. (Beverly) If you're in a situation where you have access to financial information, take advantage of it and make copies of statements; it's incredible how difficult it can be in some cases to start collecting financial information once the divorce gets started. (Bela) Get clear on where you lack knowledge and start to increase that knowledge; nobody is born knowing how to manage money well. That is a learned skill, and you can learn by allowing yourself the opportunity. (Bela) Money doesn't have power over you; it's simply a tool you can learn to use well to reach your goals. (Bela) If you want to keep your marital home and offset that with retirement assets, make sure you understand what you're giving up because sometimes, when we are looking at the here and now and what will keep us comfortable at the moment, we are giving up something more meaningful and can cause financial difficulty in the future.

GETTING READY FOR DIVORCE. EP 116HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Lesa Koski, Attorney Turned Mediator President and Founder of Koski Law & Mediation SUMMARY: Getting ready for divorce is a significant and emotionally charged process that requires careful consideration and preparation. It involves not only the legal aspects but also the emotional and financial ones. Before taking this life-altering step, you should seek guidance from a divorce coach to process your feelings, work on your self and understand your reasons for divorce. Working with a professional will help you prepare adequately, gather the right information, and get the right divorce professionals into your team for the best possible outcome. Preparing for divorce is about safeguarding your future while navigating the process with as much grace and resilience as possible. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Lesa Koski, Attorney Turned Mediator President and Founder of Koski Law & Mediation. Together, they discuss how to make the decision to divorce and what the most important steps are. KEY TAKEAWAYS:● How do you know that it's time to divorce? Knowing when it's time to divorce is personal. Start by working on yourself to grow and work on your marriage, check in with your spouse, too, and get a divorce coach to walk with you. When you have done everything you could, follow your gut and be comfortable with the decision.● Divorce should not be taken lightly. If you have made the choice to do it, you should work on yourself and your communication skills to do it in a better way and ensure you don't go through it again.● What is the most important first step to maximize the divorce process? Having a divorce coach is one of the first steps that can save you money in the long run. Knowing your goals, understanding your finances, doing your budget, and looking at your home options will help you get things aligned and do it differently. ● How do I share your decision for divorce with family and friends? Be a united front and come added together. That will change the positioning of your divorce outward. ● Whether you are getting along or are contentious, having a parenting plan in place can really help. Parenting plans are so important because when you have kids, they are the number one concern when you are getting a divorce. NOTABLE QUOTES: ● It can be hard to feel good about something like divorce, but you can feel confident about your decision and know you made the right one by being courageous to look at what you are feeling, getting curious about the feeling, looking at the thought process behind them and being capable and consistent in doing that. (Lesa)● To clarify your decision about divorce and move forward, evaluate yourself and your spouse; compare that to your ideal partner, and then consider if you are the kind of person they would be attracted to and work on yourself to get there. Don't be fixated on what you want, but also on becoming the person someone would want to be in a relationship with. (Beverly)● So many parents think they want to keep the home for their children after divorce; however, if you are stressed out and can't afford it, that is not helping your children. Having a home that you can afford is more important than staying in that home that will have you working all the time and feeling stressed....

HANDLING THE FINANCIAL ASPECT DURING THE DIVORCE PROCESS. HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: María Gabriella Martinez, CDFA and Founder and Divorce Financial Strategist at Ever After WealthSUMMARY: The biggest fear in divorce often revolves around money and finances, as the dissolution of a marriage can have a profound impact on one's financial stability and future. However, seeking the expertise of a certified divorce financial analyst (CDFA) can be a crucial step in navigating this complex terrain. With their guidance, you can make informed decisions regarding asset division, alimony, child support, and other financial matters, ultimately working towards a more equitable and secure financial future after divorce. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to María Gabriella Martinez, a CDFA and the founder and Divorce Financial Strategist at Ever After Wealth. Together, they discuss the importance of having a CDFA as part of your divorce team and how you can protect your financial well-being during this challenging time and move forward with confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why is it important to have a CDFA involved in the divorce process? Divorce is not just a legal process. It is a monster with three heads, the legal, emotional and financial components, and the best way to tackle it and make the best decision is to have the right experts to help you with each of the three areas.When you are working with a financial advisor or financial planner, they are planning your finances for the future, and when you are going through a divorce, it's very hard to establish your goals; you should always work with a CDFA from the very beginning because once you address the financial issues you will be very prepared to move forward with the divorce process.What to do if you are considering a major purchase during the divorce process, and what are its implications? It's very important to understand the kind of financial decisions you can make without having to be part of the divorce process and those that will affect the divorce process.Having a CDFA and a divorce coach on your team is a necessity, not a luxury. You can save so much money by working with experts because you are going to pay a person for their expertise. Taking your emotional conflicts and financial settlement issues to your attorney will cost you more. NOTABLE QUOTES:Every financial decision you make during the divorce process requires an expert who knows exactly what happens in every situation and the consequences and can prepare you to move forward knowing what to expect. (Maria) The more successful your divorce is, the more you have to look at it as a business transaction and do it without emotions; you need a clear head because the decision you make will affect the rest of your life. (Beverly)When you are going through a divorce, there is a divorce law, and it's going to trump any financial rules that you have, so walk with a divorce financial expert. (Maria) You can get the best financial information in the world, but if you are not in a good emotional state to make decisions, you will have a hard time making decisions and might make the wrong decisions. (Maria) So many women in the divorce process are often afraid and upset because they don't understand the financial aspect, but the attornies cannot explain that without the right information, which is why working with a CDFA is crucial. (Maria) Divorce is overwhelming, and it's important to stop and think about yourself and do what gives you comfort. You have to self-care and find experts to help you; it's an investment, and you...

PARENTING COORDINATOR'S ROLE IN RESOLVING CUSTODY CONFLICTSHOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Jaime Davis, Co-Managing Partner at Gailor Hunt and Host of A Year and a Day: Divorce without Destruction SUMMARY:A parenting coordinator plays a crucial role in helping divorcing parents navigate the often tumultuous terrain of co-parenting after a divorce. Their primary objective is to assist in making decisions related to child custody, visitation, and other parenting matters in an amicable and child-focused manner. They act as neutral third-party facilitators, using their expertise in family law and child development to help parents reach mutually beneficial agreements. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Jaime Davis, a Co-Managing Partner at Gailor Hunt and Host of A Year and a Day: Divorce without Destruction. Together, they discuss parenting coordinators, who they are, and their role in fostering a more collaborative and harmonious co-parenting relationship to create a stable and supportive environment for children's growth and well-being.KEY TAKEAWAYS:● Who is a parenting coordinator, and what role do they play in family law cases? A parenting coordinator is a neutral third party who has received training to become a parenting coordinator. In high cases involving the custody of children, the court can appoint a parenting coordinator to assist the parents in making decisions for their kids. ● The different areas of authority that a parenting coordinator can help with can range from pick-up time for the child, health care management, and communication between parents and children. However, their scope of authority can vary from case to case.● What is the difference between a parenting coordinator and a parenting coach? A parent coordinator's decision is usually like a binding court order. So if a parenting coordinator issues a directive and one of the parents does not follow it, the other parent can ask for a baby holding contempt for violating the directive. A parenting coach is more focused on getting the parents to work together and facilitating communication.● Do parenting coordinators take over all the decisions when the conflict is great and the parents are far apart? Each parent coordinator does it differently, but regardless of the level of acrimony, it is very important that the parents try to agree on the issues first, and when they can't the parent coordinator can step in and be the tiebreaker. NOTABLE QUOTES: ● When a couple is getting a divorce, decisions for the kids can be some of the things being disagreed about. In these types of cases, a parenting coordinator can be very helpful by being the tiebreaker when mum and dad disagree on a decision for the child. (Jaime)● One of the benefits of having a parent coordinator is that the children can have what they need in a more timely manner. (Jaime)● Your parenting coordinator is going to be making the decision when you and your partner disagree on things. It is almost like having a third parent in the relationship. (Jaime)● Part of the parent coordinator's job is to work themselves out of a job, getting parents to a place where they can make decisions without them and their children because they know what is best for their family. (Jaime)● At any time during a custody dispute, either parent can ask the court to appoint a parent coordinator, and the court

HANDLING ALCOHOL ABUSE IN DIVORCE AND COPARENTING EP 113HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Chris Beck, VP of Family Law Business Development for Soberlink Healthcare SUMMARY:Handling alcohol abuse in divorce and co-parenting is a complex and emotionally charged issue, as approximately 50% of divorces cite heavy drinking as a contributing factor. This not only shatters marriages but also casts a shadow of fear over co-parenting relationships. Concerns about a child's safety can be particularly agonizing, leading to questions like, "Will my child be safe?" In such situations, trust and transparency between the co-parents become paramount. Ensuring the well-being of the children should be the primary focus, with both parents working together to create a safe and nurturing environment and seeking professional guidance if alcohol abuse remains a concern. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Chris Beck, the VP of Family Law Business Development for Soberlink Healthcare. Together, they discuss alcohol abuse and what can be done if alcohol abuse is an issue in your divorce and co-parenting. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ● Does Sober Link give definitive proof about alcohol use? Soberlink is self-administered, and there is no middle person giving you the results. It's a breathalyzer that is combined with facial recognition technology, and internally, it has a way to submit the result in real time through Bluetooth and cyber technology.● How can I prove I can be trusted if I have a history of distrust? The pain point of losing trust to a point where monitoring is necessary is great, but Soberlink gives the other parent or the concerned party peace of mind that what is happening is real, as sobriety is documented in real-time, hence building trust back-to-back.● Can the alcohol test be done before the other parent talks to the child on a call to make sure they are sober? Yes definitely. Where there is severe alcohol use, treatment is ongoing, or visitation is done via Zoom, part of the program is testing and documenting their sobriety before the call, and you get and validate the compliant test results.● Why should I choose Soberlink over other alcohol monitoring technologies? Soberlink has robust technology that ensures the quality of their product is there. It's handheld, used remotely in real-time, and has family law-specific programs, technologies, and customer service.● No matter the situation, it's possible to keep a parent who is struggling with alcohol use disorder with the right treatment and the right technology to support the treatment. Technology is here to help you, help your child, and keep them safe. It's in the best interest of the child when both parents are part of their life. NOTABLE QUOTES:● Being able to prove that you are sober when parenting your children is empowering. (Chris) ● Having a technology that shows proof of sobriety, especially during co-parenting time, helps to mend the relationship, build trust back-to-back sooner, and bring the family immunity back. (Chris)● Family law can now do alcohol monitoring discreetly because of technology like facial recognition, and it doesn't have to be done in the presence of children. It can be self-administered and still give transparency to others that are part of the monitoring agreement. (Chris)● When someone has alcohol use disorder, they will do whatever they can to make sure they get the next drink, and Soberlink

THROUGH THE EYES OF A FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT'S POINT OF VIEWHOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Tracy Coenen, Forensic Accountant and Fraud Coach for Divorce SUMMARY:Are you worried about hidden money and concealed assets in your divorce process or are you entangled in a complex financial situation where transparency is crucial? Navigating these circumstances can be overwhelming, leaving you with questions about the whereabouts of undisclosed funds, the total value, and the extent of expenditures. Getting a clear picture of your financial situation and seeking professional help to address these concerns is essential in ensuring a just and equitable settlement and the much-needed peace of mind during this challenging period. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Tracy Coenen, Forensic Accountant and Fraud Coach for divorce. Together, they discuss how you can find hidden money in your divorce, how to identify red flags, and the nontechnical ways to gain insight into your financial situation independently. Divorce doesn't have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you'd like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:● Knowledge is power, and you should not sign a settlement without having a clear picture of your financial situation. Even if you are not suspicious and want the divorce over with, you still need all the facts before you sign the settlement agreement because you only have one chance to get the right settlement.● “I just wanted to be done” is a common statement after divorce that often comes from the biggest mistake most women make: letting the emotions hijack them to the point of throwing off their hands, taking whatever is on the table, and settling it.● “Let's save money. We don't need an attorney.” When your spouse tries to rush you into the agreement without an attorney, this is a big red flag. You need someone on your side to help you evaluate things objectively.● There is a whole laundry of red flags, but some of the most common in a divorce situation is a behavior change, which could be a change in schedule and whereabouts, how they are spending money, how they are paying for things, and not giving you access to money and financial information.● If you are thinking about filing a divorce, the first thing you should do is to gather information. Information is your friend; get all the statements for your joint accounts before you say anything to your spouse. NOTABLE QUOTES:● You might trust your spouse and think that those couple of accounts you don't have the statements for aren't a big deal, but why is he not disclosing the statements to you if they weren't a big deal and there is nothing to worry about? (Tracy)● Money and finance are the biggest concerns for people in divorce, and one of the biggest expenditures is going to be for your attorney,...

MEDIATION, HOSTILITY, AND EMOTIONS EP 111 HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Ellice (Lisa) Halpern, Founder/Principal Mediator, Little Falls Mediation SUMMARY: The divorce process can be challenging, triggering a torrent of emotions that range from fear, grief, loss, sadness, and anxiety to anger and frustration. In such trying times, effective mediation can serve as a vital lifeline, offering a safe space to express your feelings and concerns without descending into hostility. Mediation provides a structured platform for open communication and negotiation for fairness, enabling spouses to work through their issues with the help of a neutral third party. By addressing the underlying emotions and grievances constructively, mediation strives to pave the way for amicable resolutions and, in the process, helps ease the burdens of separation, preserves relationships, and fosters a sense of closure and healing. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Ellice (Lisa) Halpern, Founder/Principal mediator of Little Falls Mediation. Together, they discuss mediation, hostility, and emotions to provide you the tools to navigate your divorce journey with stability, control, grace, and resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS: What does mediation look like when done the right way? The most important thing about mediation is to empower you to have control over the process and the outcome.There are four prompts for Mediation: Identify the issue, pick an issue and brainstorm all kinds of options, evaluate those options by asking questions and doing reality testing, and come to a joint decision. How do I identify a great mediator vs. a not-so-great mediator? It depends on what you are looking for, but check if they are certified by your state, if you are comfortable talking to them, and if they have the qualities you want, such as kindness, rapid response, and confidence. I want my mediation results to be fair. In mediation, you have the flexibility you don't have in court. In court, the judge gives an order, but in mediation, you can negotiate what is fair to you. NOTABLE QUOTES:Acknowledging your emotions during meditation will empower you, create a legitimate sense of control and fairness, and create the opportunity to preserve the relationship. (Ellice) Making mediation a business-like transaction, putting those emotions aside, and viewing it as a neutral business transaction is not easy, but it can be done. (Beverly) Mediation is not therapy, but it does not ignore the emotions; you are allowed to pause, take a break, get a drink, and choose whether you want to continue or not. (Ellice) The cornerstone of meditation is disclosure and confidentiality, and it's voluntary, so if someone does not want to share financial information, they are not a candidate for mediation. (Ellice) Mediation can be a tool used in situations of domestic violence, but when there is abuse, a lawyer can help you in a better way than mediation. (Ellice) It's important for you to have professionals you can consult with, whether it's a lawyer, divorce financial neutral, tax person, parenting coordinator, therapist, divorce coach, or real estate professional, who can guide you along the way with your mediator. (Ellice) ABOUT OUR GUEST: Ellice (Lisa) Halpern launched Little Falls Mediation in early 2015 to help private clients who approached her to mediate issues related to marriage, separation, and divorce, as well as business and community matters. Little Falls Mediation

DATING AND ONLINE DATING AFTER DIVORCE EP 107 HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Bela Gandhi, Dating Coach and Founder of Smart Dating Academy SUMMARY: Dating and online dating after divorce can be a transformative and sometimes daunting experience. After the dissolution of a marriage, many women may find themselves venturing into new relationships without taking the time for self-reflection and growth, potentially repeating past mistakes. Healing and self-discovery are integral to successful post-divorce dating, and it's essential to approach this journey with self-awareness and caution. While it may take time to fully embrace this new chapter, dating after divorce can lead to a fulfilling relationship and personal growth. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Bela Gandhi, Dating Coach, Founder of Smart Dating Academy, and host of the Smart Dating Academy Podcast. Together, they discuss dating and online dating after divorce, smart dating, and the precautions to take when doing online dating. Divorce doesn't have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you'd like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation. Visit https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/her-empowered-divorce/id1635143315 to access the entire archive of Her Empowered Divorce episodes, and while you're there, please subscribe, rate, and review our show! KEY TAKEAWAYS: How soon should I start dating after separation/divorce? It's not the number of months or years that determines how soon you can start dating; it's the amount of work you have done on yourself. To be the kind of person you want to attract, you need to ask yourself the hard question,” Am I negative about myself?” and take action because it is the inner critic that becomes the outer critic. Does online dating work? Online dating can work and be effective, but it's not easy. You have to be very cautious and swipe left a lot. If you are entering the dating world for the first time after being married for a long time, be optimistic, be smart not to get bamboozled, and if you need help, seek it out. NOTABLE QUOTES:People show us who they are; it is up to us to believe them. (Bela) So often, we are focused on them rather than on ourselves, and we keep thinking about who our ideal partner is, but we need to think about who we need to become to be the kind of person that will attract that ideal partner. (Beverly) Oxytocin is what allows us to form attachments to people. To keep yourself in safe harbors as a woman, know your powers and remember that oxytocin should only be given to people who deserve it. (Bela) Infidelity relationships don't stand the test of time, and the unfaithful person often repeats the same behavior when they get into another marriage. (Bela) Be smart; don't agree to meet somebody in a place you're not familiar with even if they seem lovely, don't have them pick you up, always get yourself on the date, and don't give your personal information. Slow it down online. (Bela) The most important decision you will ever make in your life is the person that will become rid of your pot, your husband, wife, or partner, and it's...

WHAT FINANCIAL ABUSE IS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT EP 109 HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Rhonda Noordyk, Founder and CEO of The Women's Financial Wellness CenterSUMMARY: Financial abuse can take various forms, including restricting access to money, withholding financial information, or coercing the victim into making financial decisions.

If you suspect financial abuse, it's crucial to seek support from a qualified professional who can help you navigate the legal system to protect your financial interests and ensure a fair settlement. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Rhonda Noordyk, Founder and CEO of The Women's Financial Wellness Center.

A-Alienate you from finances, B-Beliefs marital money is theirs only, U-uses the legal system to control you, S-Seems like the victim, E-Evades financial accuracy and transparency. Divorce happens in three parts simultaneously: legal, financial, and emotional, and you need a core divorce team, coach, CDFA, and legal representative to help create the best results for you.Whatever stage you are in your divorce process, don't allow anyone to coerce you into making financial decisions that will sell you short. Invest in what you need to protect your financial interests and ensure a fair settlement. NOTABLE QUOTES:The first biggest challenge women face is confidence around money and finances because of a lack of knowledge and experience in managing finances; financial knowledge and confidence ultimately lead to confidence. (Rhonda) You need a core divorce team consisting of a coach, CDFA, and legal representative, and these three don't compete with each other. They complement each other and come together to create the best results for you. (Beverly) The second greatest financial challenge for women is understanding the financial aspect as it relates to the divorce process, what questions to ask, how to gather and organize information, how to access information, how to analyze it, and how to negotiate. (Rhonda) When you have a team of people working on your behalf, the process is better, and the people are better.

PERSONALITY DISORDERS AND HIGH CONFLICT BEHAVIORS IN DIVORCE GUEST: Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq. Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer High Conflict Institute in San Diego, CaliforniaSUMMARY: Personality disorders can significantly complicate the already challenging process of divorce. Individuals with personality disorders, such as borderline, antisocial, or narcissistic personality disorder, often exhibit traits that can fuel conflict in divorce proceedings. Their intense emotions, impulsivity, and difficulty regulating behavior can lead to erratic and volatile interactions with their soon-to-be ex-spouse. Additionally, individuals with these disorders may have a distorted sense of self-worth and a strong need for control, making negotiations and compromise more challenging, and learning how to deal with the situation is critical. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq. Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer High Conflict Institute in San Diego, California. Together, they discuss personality disorders, how they present themselves in relationships and the divorce process, and how to deal with the resulting conflict behaviors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: What are personality disorders? Personality disorders are a significant part of the population but are not obvious except in close relationships. They manifest as extreme behavior that repeats even when they are self-defeating and often end up in conflict. Why is he doing this to me, and why is he acting that way? Early on, you get along well because you are flexible, they are getting what they want, and have little demands, but suddenly, when you stop giving them what they want, the borderline switches to the all-negative. What is the most difficult part of working with high-conflict individuals? You will not persuade them to move things, so instead, focus on what your choices are and give them choices. Are personality disorders genetic, environmental, or upbringing? All the above. Genetics and upbringing are the biggest factors, but the good news is that these people can be treated or helped to achieve balance and control over their behavior.Whether living with a partner with a personality disorder or in the divorce process, the most important thing you can do is get a support system for yourself and cultivate your self-worth. NOTABLE QUOTES:High conflict behavior is a preoccupation with blaming others and not taking responsibility, a lot of all-or-nothing thinking, unmanaged emotions that take over, and extreme behavior. (Bill) One of the most important conversations is that first conversation with your spouse, telling them you want a divorce; it can set the tone for the divorce process and co-parenting. (Beverly) You get back what you put out, so if you can put out calm, meta facts and reason, you are more likely to get that back; however, some people start off aggressively, which ends up escalating

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Domestic violence can be both a civil and criminal proceeding. However, each state has its statutes and laws, and it's essential to learn the domestic violence statutes in your state.Legal readiness starts with the awareness of the court's requirements and expectations in a case, which can help you better prepare for the process. Are there pro bono resources for domestic violence victims? State laws and resources differ from state to state, but you can get pro bono attorneys, recoupment, and organizations' legal aid in most states. Your conduct in court, no matter which part you are in, matters. You are always being watched, even when not on the stand. Be respectful and polite, and don't undermine your own credibility.Can I win a case without witnesses? A lot of domestic violence occurs with no witnesses, but this doesn't mean you can't win the case. You can win the case by being more credible. The court has every right to decide which side they believe based on the evidence. NOTABLE QUOTES:The court system in domestic violence can be overwhelming if you are not familiar with it; being a little cognizant of what the laws are is an important first step in the legal process. (Lawrence) If you are going to bring any witnesses to court for any particular reason, it's important to Subpoena them so that they are required to be there, and you are not just hoping they will be there and they don't show up. (Lawrence) Domestic violence courts are pretty busy, and you can't constantly be stopping a proceeding to accommodate the documentation you have on your cell phone, so it's very important to have copies of whatever you're coming in with available in your cell phone so it can be used as evidence. (Lawrence) Knowing some basic evidence laws, even if you are not an attorney, is helpful because even if you are representing yourself, you are still bound by the same laws as someone being represented. (Lawrence) Having an attorney or an advocate can be helpful rather than trying to do it all by yourself because if you have never done it before, the risk of messing it up along the way becomes greater. (Lawrence) If you are going

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why didn't you just leave if you were being abused? This question often demonstrates a real misunderstanding of domestic violence; people are not always in a position to leave.The gaslighting effect is very prominent in domestic violence, and often, things don't get better even when we stay hoping they would; these situations don't fix themselves and often escalate into a cycle of domestic violence.The top form of domestic violence is not physical or assault; it is harassment. You can be abused without being laid a hand on, such as through threats, cyber harassment, or posting embarrassing things online. This is far more traumatizing than physical.Whether the domestic violence is physical or emotional, emotional readiness is recognizing and accepting it as abuse without making excuses for chronically abusive behaviors by an abusive partner. NOTABLE QUOTES:Everybody has individual emotional responses, but there are so many mixed emotions when you're going through domestic violence. You can feel confused, lost, and anxious, which can be stifling and traumatizing. (Joni) Victims of domestic violence are not always in a position to leave because there could be children involved, financial dependency, fear, and emotional shame. There could be legitimate reasons why somebody stays in an abusive relationship even when they know it's unhealthy for them. (Lawrence) Sometimes, when victims of domestic violence stay and hope things will get better, the other side can use that against them in court with the myth that “If I were a bad person, they would have walked out” to justify themselves. (Lawrence) If you are a product of domestic violence as a child, you could adopt that as the norm because that is what you have been shown and grown up in. (Joni) A lot of people feel like they are staying in a relationship for their children because they think they are providing stability for the children, but often, they also end up being victimized. (Joni) Children, even if they are not the target of domestic violence, just growing up seeing parenting domestic violence heightens the risk of becoming victims or abusers themselves. (Lawrence) FURTHER...

Her Empowered Divorce Episode 105 COERCIVE CONTROL AND ITS IMPACT ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN.EP 105 HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Dr. Christine Marie Cocchiola, Coercive Control Advocate, Educator, Researcher, and head of Survivor Coercive Control Consulting, LLC SUMMARY: Coercive control is a form of domestic abuse that exerts power and control over victims, leaving lasting scars, especially on women and children who are the most vulnerable. This insidious pattern of behavior involves manipulation, isolation, intimidation, and surveillance, where abusers seek to dominate every aspect of their victims' lives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: What is Coercive Control? Coercive Control is harm inflicted on all humanity; it's all about exalting power over a person, and the most vulnerable are women and children. Coercive Control in a relationship encompasses many things, including psychological abuse, legal abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse, use of the children, and separation abuse. Are there characteristics of an abuser that we could look out for? Yes, definitely! Alarming love, excess check-in talks and texts, using your vulnerabilities, lack of true authentic relationships, and not liking your friends. Whether you stay or leave an abusive partner, there is no shame in it, but when you stay, you should always keep “a clarity list” with you to remind you of the pattern of behaviors so that whenever you are in doubt, you don't diminish your pain. NOTABLE QUOTES:Just like all of us fall into line very quickly when we think someone has power over us, people in intimate relationships also fall into line and follow what they are expected to do. (Marie) The number one indicator of being in a relationship that is ‘Coercive controlling' is when someone uses your vulnerability against you. (Marie) All domestic abuse is Coercive Control; however, when someone exerts power and control physically, this is the most violent and deadly form because when you leave, the person can see it as abandonment, and they have to get revenge. (Marie)Victims and survivors are the strongest people there are. (Marie)If someone is trying to exert power and control over you, they are not healthy, and if they are doing that to you, they are...

NOTABLE QUOTES:● A lot of us ignore red-flag behaviors in the early stages of the relationship and these behaviors often lead to an abusive relationship. (Victoria)● We have to stop jumping from one relationship to another before we even leave the first and learn about ourselves, what motivates us, what attracts us, and what attracted us to that unhealthy marriage because that will be the key to what we will be...

When you are having conversations about divorce, and you feel stressed and emotionally overwhelmed, you are not capable of thinking clearly, and one of the biggest self-care is saying, “I need some time to think about it,” you do not always need to make decisions at that moment. NOTABLE QUOTES:If you are feeling whole, have more control over your emotional state, and your cortisol and hormones are not hijacking your brain, you are going to make better decisions, and you are going to move forward to a better future, as opposed to moving to a future that is predicated on decisions that were made when your emotions were in control and brain was not functioning well.

HOW TO DEAL WITH ADULT CHILDREN DURING A DIVORCE. EP 99. HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Linda Hershman, Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist SUMMARY: In the tumultuous process of divorce, our focus tends to gravitate toward the younger ones caught in the midst of it all, inadvertently sidelining the experiences of adult children, who can also be profoundly affected. Adult children are often unfairly perceived as resilient and self-reliant individuals capable of weathering any storm, a misconception that discredits their feelings and emotional experiences during their parents' separation. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Linda Hershman, a returning guest who is a Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist and the author of Gray Divorce. They discuss this lesser-explored topic: gray divorce and its impact on older children and why acknowledging the vulnerability of adult children and providing them with the support they need is as crucial as safeguarding the interests of the younger ones.Divorce doesn't have to be a death sentence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: What is the phenomenon of adult children and divorce? Divorce's impact on adult children is considered part of ambiguous losses. These are losses that are not recognized by society as losses and for which there is no community support.It's not simple for adult children of divorce (ACODs); they experience many losses, such as family traditions, financial losses, and broken promises, that may devastate them. Listen to them, ask them, validate their feelings, and encourage them to get their own support.Why is parent splitting when children are first going to college the worst time ever? Going to college is a transition time, and divorce impedes this transition. Children get stuck with one leg at school and the other at home and are constantly worrying about what is going on at home.What is the financial implication of divorce on ACODs? So many adult children organize their lives around their parents' promises, but they are broken by divorce and loss of childcare.Regardless of your child's age, don't put them in the middle of your divorce. Your children are your children, not your friends; do not lean on them for any support, get your own support system in place, and don't look to your adult children to parent you. NOTABLE QUOTES:People tend to assume that because ACODs are adults, they have their own lives, and they can understand what is happening and deal with it, but in reality, ACODs suffer very different and sometimes even worse losses in the divorce process than their younger counterparts. (Linda)Remember, even though they are adults, they will always be your children; don't lean on them as if they were your friends. Don't complain about the other spouses or make your children feel sorry for you that they become the parent-to-parent and fix you. (Beverly)The worst time for parents to split up is when their kids are first going off to college. Going...

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIVORCE AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS EP 97HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Rosemarie Ferrante, Collaborative Attorney/ Mediator for Divorce Mediation Center of Fairfield County SUMMARY: When contemplating divorce, our minds often leap to hiring lawyers as the default course of action. While this approach might be suitable for certain families, it's crucial to recognize that alternative, less adversarial methods exist, and they can bring more positive outcomes. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Rosemarie Ferrante, a family attorney, Collaborative Attorney, and Mediator for the Divorce Mediation Center of Fairfield County. They discuss the different types of divorce, their implications, and how they influence the trajectories of our lives post-divorce – impacting the quality of co-parenting relationships and the financial aspects. Beverly and Rosemarie also talk about the contrast from settlement to mediation to collaborative and under which circumstances each should be used. Divorce doesn't have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:● Do you need litigation for your family? No, you need non-adversarial divorce processes. The litigation process is an adversarial process. It is not set up necessarily to help families solve problems. It's best suited for people who never need not to co-parent or see each other again. ● Mediation and collaborative divorce processes are the first processes to consider when looking for a process that will work for your family. They are voluntary, take both spouses' commitment, and are founded on the principles of good faith and full transparency.● Is mediation and collaborative suit for hostile individuals? Yes, but collaborative would be a better fit because both parties have an attorney in every meeting, and there is a mental health professional involved to help manage emotions.● No matter where you are in your divorce process, initiating conversations with your spouse is critical. Conversations can help you start the healing process and figure things out. Dragging someone through a divorce process is a recipe for disaster. If the person is not ready, healing, therapeutic separation, and counseling can help.● What makes collaborative different is the signed participation agreement, signed by both lawyers that say they are not going to court. If the collaborative breaks down, the attorneys will not be the litigators. NOTABLE QUOTES:● There are attorneys who double in a little of everything, but just like you are seeking a specialist in medical care when it comes to legal care and legal advice, it's imperative to use attorneys trained specifically in family law. (Rosemarie)● So many people think divorce is a negative, hostile, and antagonistic process, but...

HOW PAST EMOTIONS RESURFACE DURING A DIVORCE EP 96HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Sharon Mosley, Sharon Mosley Mental Health Therapist SUMMARY: During a divorce, the long-buried emotional and psychological issues can resurface, intensifying the already challenging situation. Feelings of abandonment, betrayal, and inadequacy may reemerge, amplifying the conflicts between spouses. Unhealed wounds from the past can cloud judgment and hinder effective communication, leading to prolonged legal battles and heightened emotional turmoil. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Sharon Mosley, a therapist and licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience. They discuss the old tapes from our childhood and society that continue to play in our minds, how they can resurface during divorce, and what we can do about them to enhance our emotional and mental well-being. Divorce doesn't have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you'd like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:● Our past can resurface during divorce because so many of us as women have an identity as wives, and when divorce comes, and the title goes away, it can leave a big emotional gap.● Emotional and verbal abuse in a relationship can trigger old tapes, make us discredit ourselves of what we can do, manifest physically, and impact our kids.● Why is he doing this to me? Sometimes it may be a personal attack, and other times, it has very little to do with you; it is about something they have not resolved, and you become the target because you are close.● Regardless of where you are, it takes a lot of courage to come out and speak about what is happening in your divorce. Why? Because whatever you feel is real, no one can tell you what to feel and what not to feel, and it's not your fault. NOTABLE QUOTES:● The question of “what can I do after the divorce” is often rooted in something from childhood or earlier experiences, and what happens with partners is they reinforce the very thing you are trying to get away from. (Sharon)● Many women are dealing with emotional and verbal abuse and people putting them down. (Beverly)● Some of the old tapes that tend to come back after divorce are, I'm a failure, I don't matter, my life has little meaning, and It's my fault. It's my fault is a big one, and often, the guilt of something that is not your fault can come back (Sharon)● The very person we are divorcing at some point was the very person we shared all or most of our intimate thoughts with, and they may know us better than just anyone; when we get to that place when we may no longer be friends, they know all the buttons to push to leave us in a vulnerable place. (Sharon)● What is happening to you emotionally can have a physical impact; the...

PET CUSTODY AND DIVORCE EPISODE 95 HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Cary Jacobson, The Founder and CEO of Jacobson Family LawSUMMARY: Pet custody can be a profoundly challenging aspect to navigate in the aftermath of a divorce. The deep emotional bonds that we often share with our pets can make determining the post-divorce pet custody arrangements incredibly complex. On this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Cary Jacobson, the founder and CEO of Jacobson Family Law. They discuss pet custody, how it's determined during a divorce, and what to consider if you are in settlement or mediation. Divorce doesn't have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills and confidence. If you'd like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: ● Pet custody after divorce depends on the jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions will approach pets as properties and others as children. ● The hostile side can use pets to hurt the other person. Why? Sometimes the desire to inflict emotional harm often outweighs the concern for the animal's well-being and doing the right thing.● Would the court or agreements handle service and support animals differently? Yes, it definitely is.● Regardless of whether you are in settlement or mediation, you have to consider where you will be living (will there be a place for the animal?) and how you will financially support the pet.NOTABLE QUOTES:● In jurisdictions that treat pets similar to kids, they could award a custody access schedule and allow support agreement for the pet. (Cary)● People are now treating their pets so much like humans and children that this is a natural evolution. (Beverly)● In some cases, people want to win by using pets to stick it or hurt the other person rather than wanting the animal; they just don't want the other person to have the animal. (Cary) ● If you have kids, take into consideration how they are attached to the pets, it's important for the kids to have that support and to know where and when they will see the pet. (Cary) ● If you separate the children from the pets, that will make the transition even harder after a divorce. (Beverly)● You can provide in your estate plan who will take care of the pet and if you will leave money for their care.

Yes, it definitely is.● You have to take care of yourself and heal yourself before you can take care of others. Prioritize yourself and your healing after a traumatic experience and only then can you help others through it.NOTABLE QUOTES:● So often we do not want to talk about the B word, the C word and the I word, which are Betrayal, Cheating and Infidelity but today we do, to move on from it. (Beverly)● Infidelity is the most painful thing a person can deal with in a marriage or partnership. It genuinely does leave trauma and PTSD, life-scarring. (Martha) ● We do not hide the things that are okay. (Martha)● You have to work to heal, you can not take care of your family if you do not take care of yourself.

I'm Beverly Price, your host and divorce and empowerment coach. This podcast is made for you. No matter what phase of separation or divorce you're in, whether you're just thinking about it, having separated, are in the midst of the legal and financial negotiations, or are already divorced, this is for you. And boy am I excited today. My guests are TH Irwin and Jessica Klingbaum of exEXPERTS, and I can't wait for you to hear them tell you about exEXPERTS. These two ladies are two best friends who got divorced at the exact same time. How about that? And although they had completely different experiences, they were lucky enough to have each other through it all. They rose from a lack of resource support and information during their separate journeys, and they both had the desire to help others maneuver through the process. And we have that in common. And from that, they created exEXPERTS. Jessica is an Emmy nominated former TV producer for several national news networks. I am so intimidated, Jessica.Jessica Klingbaum: You don't have to be intimidated.Beverly Price: And she's an external optimist and someone who always sees the silver lining. So beautiful. And TH Irwin began her career at a boutique market research firm. I started my career in market research too. How about that?TH Irwin: It helped me a lot in my career.Beverly Price: Yeah. And she worked for Anderson Consulting, which is a very high stress progress driven organization. And fun role as director of experiential events for USA today. In 2020, they co-founded exEXPERTS and I'll let you tell more about them and that organization. Hi TH and Jessica, thank you so much for being my guest today. It's so good to have you. You both have made such an impact on women. I can't wait to hear from you.Jessica Klingbaum: Thank you so much. And thank you so much for the opportunity to come on and share our stories.T.H. Irwin: Yeah, we're really excited to talk.Beverly Price: Oh, we are too. You are the first time that I've ever had two guests at once, so we're going to take a stab at making sure this works just fine. So either one or both of you, what is exEXPERTS and how does it help women?T.H. Irwin: So we created exEXPERTS because we found a need for it as we were going through our own divorces. We had one another to lean on the entire time, and our divorces were completely different. And what we ended up realizing is it's less about the business of divorce, even though we certainly helped one another out in terms of things to think about when negotiating, like college and cars and [?] mitzvahs and who's paying for all that stuff. But I think at the beginning we kind of took it for granted that we had each other, we had our...

EPISODE 71 OF THE HER EMPOWERED DIVORCE PODCAST - DIVORCE EXPERT SERIES #6Special Guest Expert : Tina Huggins, Certified Divorce and Domestic Violence CoachIn this episode of the Her Empowered Divorce Expert Series podcast, Beverly Price interviews Tina Huggins about the differences that a divorce involving domestic violence has and what a woman should do and not do.Please note: if you are experiencing domestic violence of any kind – verbal, mental, emotional, physical, financial, religious or other forms, DO NOT try to leave the abuser without first getting help of a domestic violence specialist such as the staff at your local domestic violence shelter or by calling the US Domestic Violence Hotline 888-799-7233. 70% of women leaving abusers without expert advice (not just from family or friends) are murdered! Be aware and get help.Key Interview Questions:1) Do you consider High Conflict to always involve a form of abuse such as domestic violence?2) Why do people that are in an abusive relationship stay?3) Do the people that are in these types of relationships realize they are in abusive relationships?4) What do you suggest to someone that is in an abusive relationship do once they realize they are in this type of relationship?5) How do we help someone that we think is in an abusive relationship?What 3 actionable takeaways can you give women that they can do to enhance their journey from beginning to end and recovery from the divorce process?1) Once a woman realizes her situation is abusive I suggest you tell as many people, that you trust, about your situation as you can. The more people that know what is going on the safer you become, the more help you will have or in the least, they will see their true friends. In this process get some professional help. A trained Divorce Coach is a good form of help but you can look at the domestic shelter and talk to them about what assistance they have to offer.2) You have to have a plan of getting out. You have to know what to take out of the home, that is safe and that will not be noticed such as copies of financial information. Then you have to have the final exit plan in place, who will help with the final move out, where you will go to stay safe, they only people that will know your exact location, when to hire the lawyer and what lawyer to hire.3) Once the process is under way they will need a lot of personal support, a coach, if they are trained for this, and or a therapist. A therapist in most cases is the best. This person will need to learn how to love themselves probably from the first time ever. This will be an ongoing process.About Tina:Tina has coached for over 30 years, her background is vast and includes law enforcement, self-defense instruction, and divorce paper investigation. During the time Tina was involved in law enforcement, she helped get women and children out of abusive homes and into a safe location. Tina has also taught self-defense to the local battered woman's shelter. Some place during all this Tina's own father was almost murdered by his second wife.Fast forward a little, Tina found her own relationship becoming more abusive to the point it finally ended up violent, although ,Tina did not realize that when it started. Tina now can tell you that this is normal for both men and women that deal with any forms of abuse. Fast forward again, Tina ended up helping a lawyer on, at the time, a four-year long divorce doing paper investigation. Tina spent the next three years on that specific divorce.It was at this time that Tina realized that this lawyer, working on this case, was definitely not helping this client. It was this specific reason why Tina felt she needed more tools so she went out to get her Divorce Coach Certification. After getting her certification Tina was hired by that divorce client.
