Episode Description:Your lab work is not your health. Your biography is. Dr. Lucy McBride is a Harvard-trained internal medicine physician with 25 years of clinical practice and the author of Beyond the Prescription, published with Simon and Schuster in August 2026 with a foreword by Mary Claire Haver. She practices medicine the way almost no one does anymore: by treating the whole person, not the panel. This conversation moves through childhood trauma and metabolic disease, weight loss and GLP-1s, SSRIs and the one thing no pill will ever fix. It is one of the most honest conversations about what health actually is that Heal Thy Self has ever had. Dr. Lucy McBride's health takes: Take 1: "The lab work you get done with your doctor rarely shows the most interesting aspects of your health" Dr. McBride makes the case that biographic data is clinical data. Growing up in poverty, in a chaotic household, with an alcoholic parent — none of that appears on a blood panel, and all of it directly shapes how a patient thinks, eats, drinks, relates, and heals. Take 2: "The body is the scorekeeper" Chronic nervous system dysregulation does not stay in the nervous system. Dr. McBride explains how unprocessed emotional stress shows up as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and autoimmunity, and why prescribing a pill without asking the deeper question is solving the wrong problem entirely. Take 3: "Sometimes you don't need a GLP-1. Sometimes you just need to eat lunch" One of the most counterintuitive takes of the episode. Dr. McBride explains why chronic low-grade restriction sends the metabolism into survival mode, why stubborn weight that will not move is sometimes the body's response to not being fed enough, and why the first question to ask is about your relationship with food — not your caloric intake. Take 4: "Sometimes you don't need Prozac. You need a divorce" Dr. McBride closes with her most powerful take. SSRIs are not the problem — the system that prescribes them in five-minute appointments is. She makes the case that no amount of pharmacology can resolve the social and emotional toll of living in chronic fear or unhappiness, and that agency is the medicine no pill can replicate. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why abnormal metabolic markers are often downstream symptoms of chronic nervous system dysregulation, and why understanding a patient's emotional and social context changes the entire treatment picture  • Why the metabolism responds to restriction the same way it responds to famine, what that means for stubborn weight that will not move, and why your relationship with food is sometimes the most complicated relationship you have  • Why SSRIs are overprescribed not because they are bad but because the system does not have time to ask better questions, and what the actual work of mental health requires that no supplement or medication can substitute for Health is not about having all the answers. It is about asking better questions.

Patrick answers questions on guardian angels, prayers for those who left the faith, and whether grace can reach those closed off from it. He responds to lively debates on church customs, biblical mysteries like Lazarus’s age, and the classic rivalry between Tolkien’s epic and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia, letting callers’ passions shape the flow. Music talk, real-life marriage milestones, and concerns for pro-life centers in California thread through spirited exchanges that move from deep Catholic doctrine to the simple joy of a catchy tune. Sheila (email) - Can I ask the guardian angels of my grown children (who have left the faith) to attend Mass and pray for them, and if so, what grace would result and could it still reach and affect them even if they are not open to it? (00:40) Daniel – Genuflecting (08:14) Deidra - There are two types of repenting: repenting every day and repenting and be baptized. We need both. (10:35) John - Do we know how old Lazarus was when Jesus raised him from the dead? (12:46) Doug – On Friday, the Archbishop of San Francisco wrote a piece about suing the abortion reversal pill (13:58) Nathaniel - What is better, LOTR or the Chronicles of Narnia? (20:57) Richard - I read the LOTR books and saw the movies. The movie was a bit of a letdown but I still loved them. The Narnia books fantastic. Andy - I want to know what is penal substitution and is it something Catholics believe? (34:13) Dave - For Nathaniel, Narnia Christian themes much more obvious but LOTR themes are deeper, more complex. I think both are excellent. (39:12) Ronnie - I want to encourage other married people not to give up on their spouse and try to make it better. Divorce is not the answer. (49:15) Originally Aired on 08-03-2026

In The Book of Mormon, Alma teaches that those who want to more fully follow Christ need to be willing to 'mourn with those that mourn'. I believe many of us are good at seeing people who are mourning, our hearts are pricked and we desire to reach out, and often do, and then we get stuck. How do we create a safe space for the other person to mourn and struggle without being dismissive, judgmental, or a fixer? How do we really mourn with them? This podcast will not only help create awareness around your go-to behaviors that may not be so helpful, but you will also learn some tools to use that will truly allow you to 'mourn with those that mourn.'

In this episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Stacie Shifflett, founder of Modern Consciousness, to explore what it takes to move from anger and betrayal into clarity, intention, and joy. After her 28 year marriage imploded, Stacie refused to simply drift like a leaf bumping along the current. Instead she threw herself into over a decade of personal development, working with figures like Tony Robbins and Joe Dispenza, before surrendering to an idea she'd resisted for two years: building a company around everything she'd learned about the human condition.  Stacie shares the moment she realized she didn't want to become the woman she met in a grief support group, someone who hadn't left her house in five years after losing a child, and how that realization became a turning point in her own healing. She and Dr. Debi dig into the real difference between insight and rumination, why intuition sounds different from your inner critic, and why intentionality, not a single big leap, is what actually moves people forward.  Whether you're navigating divorce, betrayal, grief, or simply a season of disruption, this conversation offers a grounded, practical roadmap for reclaiming your peace of mind and choosing who you want to be next.  In This Episode:  Why Stacie describes her post-divorce self as 'a leaf going down the stream, bumping into rocks,' and the moment she decided to stop  How two years of resistance turned into the founding of Modern Consciousness  The real difference between insight and staying stuck in analysis  A story from a grief support group that reframed how Stacie thinks about staying stuck versus moving forward  Why 'sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest' became a phrase she coined for herself  The difference between the voice of intuition and the voice of the ego, and how to tell them apart  Why intentionality, not a single big decision, is what actually creates change  How the Four Agreements shaped her early healing, especially the practice of not making assumptions  Why she believes peace of mind is our greatest personal asset  The one question she keeps coming back to: do you want to stay where you are?  Resources Mentioned:  Treasure Map to Joy — Stacie Shifflett (book, a parable of one woman's journey from disruption to joy)  The Four Agreements — Don Miguel Ruiz  The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery — ThePBTInstitute.com  Connect with Stacie Shifflett:  Website: modernconsciousness.com  Connect with Dr. Debi  The PBT Institute: https://ThePBTInstitute.com

Since 1973, Missouri has been among a handful of states where judges would not grant divorce if one of the spouses was pregnant. But as of today, that's no longer the case. We hear from the state representative who sponsored a new law that clarifies such proceedings, and we discuss what the change could mean for families, and for courts, with a St. Louis family law attorney.

Encore Episode!! After over a decade of working with thousands of women, I've become really good at mapping out the entire divorce process and pinpointing where on that map someone might land. I've become so good at it that I actually created something I'm calling The Divorce Roadmap. In this episode, I share the three stages of the Roadmap: Awareness, Action, and Moving On, and explore the various phases within each stage. Divorce journeys are almost never linear, they ebb and flow and have hard times and times when things fall neatly into place. Knowing where you are on your journey can help you prepare for what's to come. If, after listening to this episode, you have found yourself somewhere along the map described, I have resources for every phase and every stage. You can download your divorce roadmap after listening to this episode.  What you'll hear about in this episode: The three stages of the Divorce Roadmap: Awareness, Action, and Moving On Awareness stage: questioning, dawning realization, begging and bargaining, and finally acceptance Action stage: having the talk, making big decisions, telling the kids, and more Moving On stage: co-parenting, dating, single by choice, a first relationship, a first heartbreak, and possibly family blending Why the journey rarely moves in a straight line, and how stages like anger and grief, or questioning and backsliding, tend to loop back on each other Resources & Links: Your Divorce Roadmap Focused Strategy Sessions with Kate The Divorce Survival Guide Resource Bundle Phoenix Rising: A Divorce Empowerment Collective Kate on Instagram Kate on Facebook Kate's Substack Newsletter: Divorce Coaching Dispatch The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast Episodes are also available YouTube!

Nearly half of all women in the U.S. have experienced psychological aggression from a partner — gaslighting, isolation, coercive control. Most never call it abuse. They call it a difficult marriage, a controlling husband, a complicated dynamic or a spiteful partner. If you've spent years second-guessing your own memory, wondering if it counts because he never hit you — this episode is for you.I'm joined by Kate Anthony — certified high conflict divorce coach, host of The Divorce Survival Guide podcast, and author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage.We talk about why emotional abuse leaves deeper, longer-lasting harm than physical abuse(PTSD), the psychological framework that separates a coercive controller from a narcissist, and the specific work each of us did to rebuild self-trust before dating again.You'll learn:Why women describe psychological abuse as "a difficult marriage" — and what changes when you name it as abuseThe signs of emotional abuse that leave no bruises, no police report, no evidence a family court will acceptWhy psychological abuse predicts PTSD in women more strongly than physical abuse doesHow gaslighting in relationships is designed to make you question your own sanityThe difference between protection and control — why a controlling husband is never just a "communication problem"The dark tetrad: the four personality traits every woman should know how to recognizeWhy family court professionals aren't required to complete domestic abuse training — and how that gap affects you and your kidsHow your own healing work helps you spot red flags early if you date againWhat it looks like when a partner deliberately, deceptively builds your sense of safetyHow to date after divorce without shutting every new connection out to stay safeWhether you're still inside a marriage trying to find the words for what's happening, or years out and learning to trust yourself again — this conversation gives you the language and the framework to see it clearly.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseConnect with me:Click here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoWebsiteInstagramSubstackConnect with Kate:WebsiteInstagramPodcastGrab Kate's book, The D Word, This episode is part two — listen to part one of my conversation with Kate on The Divorce Survival Guide podcast here.Want to go deeper on the dark tetrad?

Divorce does not happen in isolation. You may be dealing with the end of your marriage while still running a business, leading a team, raising children, managing a household, and showing up in situations where people expect you to function just as you always have.But what happens when you simply don't feel like yourself anymore?Today, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with mental performance specialist and psychotherapist Tom Rohrer, PhD, about the connection between emotional experiences and our ability to perform in everyday life.Tom shares how unresolved emotional issues can affect confidence and performance, why taking responsibility is different from taking all the blame, and how realistically examining your role in a relationship can help interrupt unhealthy patterns. He also introduces brainspotting, a therapeutic approach he uses in his work, and discusses the connection between emotional processing, the brain, and the body.Questions We ExploreQ: Why can divorce affect your ability to perform in other areas of life?A: Significant emotional stress does not disappear simply because you walk into the office, attend an event, or need to take care of your family. Tom explains how unresolved emotional experiences can be triggered in situations that require us to perform and function at our usual level.Q: How do you stop blaming yourself for everything that went wrong in the marriage?A: Tom discusses “disputation,” a positive psychology approach that involves examining what actually happened, identifying your realistic share of responsibility, and separating that from the tendency to personalize everything that went wrong. Q: Can changing your own behavior interrupt an unhealthy relationship pattern?A: Sometimes. When one person stops covering, placating, making excuses, or participating in an established dynamic, the pattern itself may begin to change.Q: What is brainspotting?A: Tom describes brainspotting as a therapeutic approach that uses a person's visual field along with awareness of physical sensations as part of processing emotional experiences. He discusses how it developed from EMDR and how he incorporates it into his work. Q: What if you don't feel confident or capable after divorce?A: Rather than accepting that this is simply who you are now, Tom encourages looking at what may be underneath that loss of confidence and addressing the emotional experiences that may be affecting how you show up today.About the Guest:Tom Rohrer, PhD, is a mental performance specialist and psychotherapist who assists public performers, mainly athletes to: resolve emotional issues that are causing performance problems, integrate mental resource states like confidence, courage, or optimism, and expand their ability to perform in the flow state (zone). He also helps his clients with addiction issues by neutralizing triggers, boosting motivation and commitment. He works individually and offers webinars.To connect with Tom:Website: https://tomrohrer.com/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

Ever ask yourself, why does leaving a toxic partner have to hurt THIS much?

The biggest mistake parents make in a custody battle? Thinking they can "win" their case with one dramatic, explosive moment in the courtroom. In reality, judges decide custody based on the behavioral patterns they've seen long before you ever walk through the courthouse doors.In this episode of No One Dies from Divorce, I sit down with attorney Austin Dominguez to deliver a massive reality check about the family court system. If you are heading into a custody dispute, you need to understand the fundamental disconnect between what you think matters (revenge, fairness, "winning") and what the court actually cares about (stability, consistency, and the best interest of the child).Austin and I break down the most common custody misconceptions—like why a cheating spouse doesn't automatically mean a bad parent, and why the court doesn't just let teenagers choose where they want to live. You'll get highly practical advice on how to de-escalate toxic text messages, why you need to stop treating the courtroom like a soap opera, and how to document your life so the facts speak for themselves successfully. Plus, Austin shares his own deeply personal experience growing up with high-conflict co-parents and why your kids are more resilient than you think.⭐ Follow Jill Coil: https://www.instagram.com/jillcoil/

In this episode, we're doing something a little different. I'm opening up my private monthly book club discussion (usually just for Flying Higher members) and sharing it with you. This month we read the bestselling novel Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. We get into the tradwife aesthetic, performative Christianity, and the difference between a woman who genuinely loves a homemaking life and a system that demands every woman perform one. Key Takeaways:The reason the beautiful tradwife image is so seductiveThe most convincing performances usually start with a belief that's actually sincere. One character's storyline sparked a heated disagreement in the group about who gets to be "smart" in stories like this one, and why that distinction matters There's a subtle difference between a woman choosing a traditional role and a woman being conditioned into one, and it changes everything about how we respond to the trend.What does authentic faith look like once the performance stops? If you're a divorced Christian woman who loves self-development and learning new things, consider joining the Flying Higher community! Get Today's Free Resource:

Send us Fan MailDivorce doesn't just change a schedule, it can shake a child's sense of safety. That's why this conversation is for dads who feel the clock is working against them and who want a stronger, calmer relationship with their kids during separation and co-parenting.I'm joined by Elisabeth Stitt, an author, educator, and certified life coach who specializes in helping divorced dads and single dads build a stable home culture. We dig into the mindset shift that changes everything: when you have half the time, you have to be twice as intentional. Elisabeth explains why kids aren't actually chasing the house with the biggest TV or the most activities. What they want is predictability, clear expectations, and the steady feeling of “I know what it's like to be at Dad's house.”We also get practical. Elisabeth shares a simple tool many dads overlook: a household binder or planner that tracks school details, routines, schedules, and contacts so your kids never feel like they have to “wait for Mom's house” to feel oriented. Then we name two common traps in divorce parenting, guilt and bitterness, and how they can quietly drive decisions around bedtime, treats, control, and conflict. Finally, we talk about building a values-based home culture, so your parenting plan and custody time aren't just logistics, they're a foundation your kids can trust.Subscribe to Modern Family Matters, share this with a dad who needs it, and leave a review so more families can find real help when divorce gets hard.If you would like to speak with one of our attorneys, please call our office at (503) 227-0200, or visit our website at https://www.pacificcascadelegal.com.To learn more about Elisabeth and how she can help you, you can visit her website at: https://www.elisabethstitt.com/ or download her free guide at: https://dads.joyfulparentingcoaching.com/home-culture-pdfDisclaimer: Nothing in this communication is intended to provide legal advice nor does it constitute a client-attorney relationship, therefore you should not interpret the contents as such.

Joe examines the practice of Catholic Annulments and examines whether it’s just divorce under another name. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. And today I want to explore a question that many people have. For a great number of people, the chief difficulty they have in embracing Catholicism isn’t about a major theological controversy or a doctrinal issue so much as it is a case involving the complicated issues of marriage and relationships in their own life. Because it’s not uncommon that when people are looking into the Catholic churc...

It's Tuesday, August 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Indonesian pastor sentenced for citing Mohammed's polygamy An Indonesian pastor has been sentenced to two years in prison for pointing out Mohammad's polygamy. At the time of his death, the founder of Islam had nine wives. Dedi Saputra was falsely accused of “hostility, hatred or incitement” with a “potential of causing unrest.”  Like Dedi, the Apostle Paul ran into troubles along the way as well.  In Acts 17:4-5, Luke writes, “And some of them [in Thessalonica] were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas. “But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar.”     Surrogate mother speaks up for choosing life Baby Gabriel, the child in the middle of a massive rent-a-womb controversy, has survived his first heart surgery since being born two weeks ago. The child's surrogate mother, McKenna West, refused to abort him despite being sued by his biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed. However, Baby Gabriel is now in the custody of the very parents who sought to have him killed!  In the New York Post, Miss West wrote, “No woman should be forced to kill the baby inside her. Most importantly, every child deserves a chance to live. As a cardiac nurse, I knew this little one had a great shot at survival if given the opportunity to receive the necessary treatment. “After I communicated to the contracting couple that I could not end this baby's life, their lawyer, and my own former lawyer, sent me letters threatening six-figure penalties if I didn't comply with their demand to terminate. The contracting couple cut off my payments, and I covered the rest of the pregnancy expenses myself.” Here's what Miss West told Lila Rose in the Live Action podcast.  WEST: “A diagnosis does not automatically mean that there is no hope or that somebody cannot live. But I knew that this baby boy that I was carrying, that I was feeling move, that he deserved that chance.” Listen to this word for our day from Exodus 22:22-24. “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.  If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.” America and Canada at a stalemate in trade war The United States and Canada are in another trade war. The White House has announced that the U.S. will impose 50% tariffs on certain Canadian products like vehicles and steel imports. And now, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will “hit back.”  Here's what Carney said in a press conference on Saturday: “You're at war when you're attacked, and we got attacked.” He added this. CARNEY: “We cannot accept what they've offered and we will not give what they've asked.”  (Read the transcript of Carney's remarks) Trump added this on Truth Social on Sunday: “Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!! They have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of tariffs. No more!!!” United States to buy back its own bonds to lower inflation U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the federal government will be buying back its own bonds in an effort to rein in inflation and reduce the interest on the bonds, reports CNBC. That means that the government will use its $1 trillion checking account -- which happens to be borrowed money to begin with -- to buy its long-term bonds, in an artificial attempt to reduce interest rates. U.S. debt topped $40 trillion The United States federal debt topped $40 trillion last week, reports CBS News. (Check out the eye-opening website www.USDebtClock.org) The market responded. According to Fortune Magazine, gold is back up to $4,650 an ounce and silver is scraping $70 an ounce. Condo prices sinking Condo prices are sinking like a rock in 33 major city markets including in Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, and Washington state.  Wolf Street estimates a 29% average drop since the 2022 peak. Add inflation into that and that's a 38% drop in condominium prices. Condo prices can signal housing stress before the rest of the market collapses.  Divorce rate up for those over 55 U.S. divorce rates are way up for people older than 55 years of age. In fact, they've doubled since 1990. And,  among those over 65, the divorce rate has increase five-fold since 1990.   A recent Bowling Green University study found that the 50+ crowd now accounts for nearly 40% of all people getting divorced. That was only 8% in 1990. 2032 is Social security depletion date The Social Security depletion date has moved up another three months, now targeted for 2032. The ratio of workers paying into Social Security per retiree has plummeted from more than 5-to-1 in 1960 to 2.9-to-1 today. Mel Gibson to release Resurrection movies in 2027 Film producer and director Mel Gibson is wrapping up a 10-year project — a production of the sequel for The Passion of the Christ. The project is slated to be released as a two-part series on the Resurrection sometime in March and May next year — Good Friday and Ascension Day on the Christian calendar. The films were shot in Rome. Spiderman: Brand New Day misuses God's name 16 times And finally, the blockbuster film, Spiderman: Brand New Day, is #1 at the box office for its fourth week -- now at $2.2 billion worldwide. That's a record for the franchise. But Focus on the Family's PluggedIn.com and Ted Baehr's MovieGuide.org both warn of foul language, the single most concerning drawback for families. God's name and Jesus' name are misused a total of 16 times in the movie.  Exodus 20:7 says, “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, August 25th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

You want them to notice you, but what makes them remember you? "What's Wrong With Me?" host Cayla Cook returns - and this time she and Brian are trying to figure out what's wrong with all of us. A funny, revealing, and occasionally uncomfortable look at what we bring into dating before the other person even gets a chance to screw it up. From childhood baggage and emotional walls to independence, vulnerability, gratitude, and the things we refuse to admit about ourselves, sometimes the biggest obstacle to finding love isn't them. It's us.

Are women's dating standards really too high—or are women simply becoming less willing to accept relationships that don't add enough to their lives? In this episode, I dive into the ongoing debate about women being told to lower their standards in order to find or keep a partner. There's a big difference between expecting perfection and expecting communication, effort, respect, emotional availability and genuine partnership. So instead of immediately asking women what they're willing to lower, maybe we should also be asking whether some men are willing to raise what they're bringing to the relationship. - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

For generations, women were taught a fairly predictable story about creating a family: find the right person, get married, and then have children. But what happens when life does not follow that sequence?In this episode, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with bestselling author, speaker, life coach, and nonprofit founder Cheri Bergeron about motherhood, divorce, fertility, and creating a family on your own terms.Cheri shares her personal journey from believing she needed marriage to “earn the right to motherhood” to becoming a single mother by choice. She talks openly about fertility treatment, donor conception, becoming a mother in her 40s, and grieving the traditional family story she once expected while discovering that a different path could still create the family she deeply wanted.This is a hopeful conversation about self-trust, understanding your options, and recognizing that the end of a marriage does not necessarily mean the end of your dream of motherhood.Questions We ExploreQ: What if you are divorced and still want children?A: Divorce does not necessarily close the door on motherhood. Cheri discusses several paths that may be available and why learning about your options can help you make choices that reflect what you truly want.Q: Why is understanding fertility earlier in life so important?A: Cheri explains that many women learn about reproductive timelines much later than they wish they had. Understanding fertility and available options earlier can provide more opportunity to think intentionally about future family planning.Q: Can you become a mother later in life?A: Cheri shares her own experience with fertility treatment and donor eggs, including having children in her 40s. Individual circumstances vary, making personalized medical guidance an important part of exploring fertility options.Q: How do single mothers by choice talk with their children about their origins?A: Cheri believes openness, honesty, and age-appropriate conversations can help children understand their individual family story while building trust between parent and child.Q: What if the family you create looks nothing like the one you originally imagined?A: Cheri encourages women to allow themselves to grieve the traditional story they expected while remaining open to another possibility: different does not have to mean less meaningful.About the Guest:Cheri Bergeron is a former tech executive turned bestselling author, speaker, life coach, and nonprofit founder. After a 10-year struggle with divorce and infertility involving IVF, donor conception, genetic defects and child loss, she gave birth to her children in her mid 40s. Driven by these experiences, Cheri wrote the #1 Amazon bestseller Mission: Motherhood and started Cheri's Choice to help women navigate non-traditional paths to motherhood on their own terms—with clarity, confidence, and choice.To connect with Cheri:Website: https://www.cheribergeron.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/missionmotherhoodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheribergeron/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

We get into: Are we over-therapizing normal marriage problems?

Alan Dershowitz is in many ways the sort of person that Alicia would describe as a spider in the spiderwebs we indulge in. He's represented Patty Hearst, Mike Tyson, and OJ Simpson - all three TD alums - and has also managed across his career to push boundaries when it comes to legal ethics and attacks on opponents. Unfortunately, Alan's first wife learned what it's like to be against him in a courtroom when they divorced in the mid-1970s, and it was brutal.  You can find all sources at trashydivorces.com, but here is The New Yorker piece Stacie references throughout: Alan Dershowitz, Devil's Advocate | The New Yorker Sponsors Upgrade your every day!
