It's out September 18, grab your ticket to the launch event here: https://contrarianthinking.biz/bigdeal-sexton -cs You've been telling yourself the same story. That you need to work harder on your marriage. That you need to read more books, take more courses, find the perfect framework. Here's the truth: the only thing between you and the relationship you want is believing you need something you don't already have. James Sexton is one of the world's most famous divorce attorneys who has represented clients in more than a thousand divorces. He's seen every way a marriage can fail and every pattern that predicts it. In this episode, he breaks down the exact signs that a relationship is ending, why disconnection happens so slowly you don't even notice, and the simple daily habits that separate couples who last from couples who don't. In this episode, you'll learn: The sound of a dying marriage: why the tone of voice that says whatever or what reveals more than any argument ever could, and how contempt kills connection faster than cheating Why babies don't cause divorce but disconnection does, and how the mental load of parenting makes couples forget that their love built the baby in the first place The menu framework: how offering your partner options instead of expecting them to read your mind creates safety, and why asking do you need space or do you need to talk right now changes everything Why men ask did you have sex with him and women ask do you love her, and what that reveals about how men and women experience betrayal completely differently The eight mile strategy: how getting ahead of your own weaknesses in a relationship disarms defensiveness, and why showing your partner your flaws is the only way they can truly love you ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: The Sound of a Marriage About to End (00:01:33) The What Huh Whatever: How Contempt Kills Connection (00:04:46) The Story Retelling Test: When Your Partner Becomes Boring (00:05:57) The Spiral of Apathy: How Disconnection Happens Slowly Then All at Once (00:07:16) The Text Message Strategy: 30 Seconds That Could Save Your Marriage (00:10:15) The Eight Billion People Problem: Why Your Partner Is Your Favorite Person (00:11:50) The Evidence Test: Cross-Examining Your Own Relationship (00:15:24) Social Media and the Performative Self: Hashtag Blessed While Negotiating Divorce (00:18:06) The Manual We Never Got: Why No One Teaches Us How to Love (00:22:38) Babies and Disconnection: The Crisis That Pulls Couples Apart (00:24:56) You Can't Pretend You Meant to Get Divorced: The Humility of Failure (00:27:29) Men and Women Get Each Other Wrong: The Defensiveness Trap (00:30:10) Creating Safe Space: Why Men Don't Tell You What You Don't Want to Hear (00:34:46) Love Is Not Permanently Gifted, It's Loaned: The Fragility of Connection (00:36:59) Cheating and Infidelity: The 70 Percent Reality (00:39:56) Did You Have Sex With Him: How Men and Women Experience Betrayal Differently (00:42:35) The Economy of Monogamy: What We Owe Each Other in a Committed Relationship (00:47:32) The Imaginary Perfect Partner: Comparing Real People to Fantasy (00:59:19) The Shaving Story: How You Ask the Question Dictates the Answer (01:03:46) The Eight Mile Strategy: Owning Your Weaknesses Before They're Used Against You (01:06:13) The Persuasion Principle: Great Advocacy Doesn't Look Like Advocacy (01:10:57) A Good Lawyer Knows the Law, A Great Lawyer Knows the Judge (01:14:27) The Menu Framework: Listening, Fixing, or Distraction (01:17:48) Does Marriage Still Work: The 70 Percent Failure Rate Question (01:19:45) Chapters in a Long Book: Reframing Divorce as Part of Your Story, Not Failure (01:26:09) The Vulnerability Invitation: Showing Your Weaknesses So You Can Feel Real Love ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL
Divorce lawyer Jim Sexton has spent nearly 30 years watching marriages fall apart - and he knows the mistakes couples make long before they ever enter a courtroom.In Part 2 of my conversation with Jim Sexton, one of the country's most experienced divorce attorneys, we go deep on marriage, divorce, prenups, monogamy, sexual compatibility, dating, choosing the right partner, divorce statistics, and what actually makes relationships last.Jim has represented executives, entrepreneurs, CEOs, athletes, celebrities, and high-net-worth families through some of the most difficult divorces imaginable. After decades on the front lines of family law - and after going through divorce himself - he has developed some fascinating and sometimes controversial views about love, marriage, sex, money, and relationships.We talk about why getting married may be one of the most legally significant decisions you'll ever make, despite most people having almost no idea what they are legally agreeing to.Jim explains why the best divorce lawyer may actually be the lawyer who keeps you out of court, why spending $10,000 fighting over $5,000 makes no sense, and why divorce should eventually be approached more like a business transaction than an emotional battle.We discuss whether prenups are unromantic, whether they actually hold up in court, and why Jim argues that a thoughtfully constructed prenup can actually create greater emotional and financial safety in a marriage.Then we get into some of the most controversial research and observations surrounding sexual history, sexual satisfaction, monogamy, marriage success, and divorce.It's a conversation about how to choose the right person, build a stronger relationship, understand what marriage actually means, and avoid mistakes that can cost you emotionally and financially for years.TIMESTAMPS00:00 — The legal reality of marriage almost nobody understands05:45 — Why a great divorce lawyer may actually keep you OUT of court12:53 — How to find a great divorce attorney without trusting Google rankings18:44 — The “Sopranos strategy” before divorce—and why Jim says it can backfire24:27 — Why Jim Sexton says every first date is basically a sales call29:59 — The fear that stops people from making the move they actually want34:20 — The 3 real reasons people get married41:30 — Who probably should NOT get married46:07 — “Everyone has a prenup” — Jim explains what most couples don't realize51:41 — How long should you date before getting married?59:38 — Do more sexual partners increase the likelihood of divorce?1:07:42 — Jim's controversial definition of successful monogamy1:20:11 — Why divorce rates rise dramatically after the first marriage1:31:12 — Do prenups actually work?

Jim Sexton has spent more than 25 years watching more than 1,000 couples who once loved each other divide their families, fortunes and futures – but the experiences that shaped him most happened long before he entered a courtroom. One of America's most successful divorce lawyers opens up about growing up with an alcoholic father, nearly losing his mother throughout childhood, confronting fear, dealing with anticipatory grief, being overweight, rebuilding his body, and learning how extraordinary communication can transform relationships, negotiations and careers.James “Jim” Sexton is one of America's most prominent divorce lawyers, a bestselling author and one of the internet's most widely watched voices on love, marriage and why relationships fall apart.But before exploring the courtroom lessons that made him famous, Randall Kaplan takes Jim back to the experiences that created the man behind the reputation and incredible success.The conversation also explores Jim's struggle with weight, isolation and bullying. After reaching college, he made the decision to change his physical condition one difficult step at a time—eventually becoming a marathon runner, weightlifter and longtime Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.Jim then recounts his time as a hospice volunteer, including sitting with people who had no family present during their final hours and reading them stories. He shares why he would read Winnie-the-Pooh aloud to dying patients and how those experiences taught him to keep death in his peripheral vision without allowing it to diminish his appreciation for life.He also reveals the practice he developed of telling the people he loves how he feels before every goodbye. For Jim, it is not enough to tell someone that you love them. He believes they should also know that you fully recognize and feel their love for you.Timestamps:00:00 — Why a lawyer who has watched 1,000 marriages collapse still believes in love01:44 — The chaotic childhood that trained Jim to read people instantly08:15 — What happens when a child is repeatedly told his mother may die14:05 — The moment Jim decided he could no longer remain the “fat kid”20:00 — Why he volunteered to sit beside strangers as they died24:57 — The two things Jim wants everyone he loves to know before he dies29:43 — The letter to his late mother that uncovered a lifelong emotional wound37:30 — Why Jim kept a tarantula beside his bed for more than 20 years40:45 — When fear creates success—and when it begins destroying it50:40 — The unglamorous job experience Jim requires from potential employees57:31 — The communication skill that separates Jim from other elite lawyers1:03:00 — Why authenticity matters more than sounding impressive1:04:40 — What Jim learned from FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss1:07:00 — The storytelling secret behind Jim's extraordinary audience retentionAbout Jim SextonJames Sexton is one of the country's most prominent and successful divorce and matrimonial attorneys.

Together, we explore the legal realities, common misconceptions, and practical strategies for navigating life when moving into separate homes simply isn't possible.

Forget "happily ever after." As marriage and birth rates fall, young adults have less sex, and assumptions about love and commitment are being challenged. In this episode of “Generational Divides,” Reason editor-at-large Nick Gillespie brings together a Gen X-er, a Millennial, and a Gen Z-er to debate these questions about intimacy and love in the 21st century: Should Gen Z have more sex?

More than half of marriages end in divorce… so why do we still choose to tie the knot? In this episode we get profound relationship advice from a perspective you might not expect… a world-renowned divorce lawyer and authority on relationships. Because there's a lot that we can reverse engineer from someone who has spent their career witnessing endings. We're joined by James Sexton, America's top divorce lawyer, and bestselling author of How to Stay in Love and How Not To Fuck Up Your Marriage. After more than 20 years helping couples navigate the end of their marriages, James has rare insight into what actually causes relationships to fail, and how we can build stronger, healthier, lasting love before the start. We cover the real reason people divorce, the biggest mistakes that end marriages, what the red flags are that a relationship might be unsalvageable, emotional disconnection and the toxicity of social media for couples, and advice for anyone about to get married. In this moving conversation, we also explore the deeper philosophy of grief and impermanence, and what we can learn about building more connected relationships from someone who has witnessed a lifetime of endings. Whether you're dating, engaged, married, navigating relationship challenges, or simply want to become a better partner, this episode is packed with practical relationship advice that every couple (and anyone hoping to get married one day) should hear. Tune in to hear: The main causes of divorce after 20+ years in family law How we “lose the plot” in relationships The red flags that a relationship is breaking down or beyond repair Why couples' connections “go bankrupt slowly, then all at once" James Sexton's "Hit Send Now" philosophy for honest communication Check-in rituals and habits to stay connected and avoid drifting Why couples experience different versions of the same relationship (we're unreliable narrators!) How social media can be damaging in modern relationships What grief work and divorce law taught James about love, gratitude, and impermanence The most important advice James gives to anyone about to get married Follow James: https://www.instagram.com/nycdivorcelawyer/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/@sextonshow/videos https://www.nycdivorces.com/ Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube
This is Episode 2 of The Legal Side of Separation with family lawyer Dani Zetzer from Respect Legal. In this episode I am talking to Dani about separation, parenting arrangements and neurodivergent children and why the usual conversations about "fairness", equal time and 50/50 care often do not meet the needs of children who need more structure, regulation and support. Dani brings both her legal experience and her lived experience as a neurodivergent parent of neurodivergent children to this important discussion. Together, we explore why separation can affect neurodivergent children differently, especially when routines change, handovers increase, therapies need to be managed across two households, or parents are not on the same page about diagnosis, medication or support. This episode looks at why parenting arrangements need to be built around the child in front of you and not what feels fair to the adults. You'll hear Nikki and Dani discuss: • Why 50/50 care is not automatically in a child's best interests • How separation and high conflict can affect neurodivergent children • Why routines, transitions and handovers matter so much • What happens when parents disagree about diagnosis or treatment • The role of mediation, parenting plans and parenting orders • Why parallel parenting may sometimes be more supportive than traditional co-parenting • How therapy, medication, NDIS supports and school needs can complicate parenting arrangements • Why the family law system is limited when it comes to complex children's needs • How parents can shift from "what is fair to me?" to "what does my child need?" • Why finding the right professional support matters This is a powerful and practical conversation for any parent navigating separation with a neurodivergent child, or any parent who feels like the system does not fully understand their child. Because parenting after separation is not about dividing children in half. It is about creating arrangements that help them feel safe, supported and able to cope.

Most people don't realise marriage is the most legally significant thing you'll do and enter it with zero plan, yet they plan everything in fitness. Passion and chemistry don't equal partnership compatibility, and complacency kills relationships when partners stop trying after "locking someone in." Relationships need intentionality, maintenance, and honest feedback like any other area of life.The hardest part isn't falling in love, it's believing you're worthy of it. Heartbreak is painful but beautiful because grief proves you had something worth losing, and those experiences create the depth most people never experience.00:00 Introduction06:21 Past Relationships and Compatibility10:19 Relationships as Career vs Side Hustle14:55 Designing a Perfect Life Without Marriage18:40 Complacency and Maintenance in Marriage27:10 Honesty and Difficult Conversations in Relationships30:21 Teaching Relationship Skills and Managing Disconnection35:12 Comparison Between Fitness and Relationships40:42 Age and Experience in Love and Marriage45:48 Intentionality in Relationships and Maintaining Love50:01 Appreciating and Valuing Relationships55:14 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Love1:02:59 The Importance of Having Children1:05:47 Financial Stability and Motivation with Children1:11:22 Fame, Wealth, and Relationship Challenges1:18:10 Performance Art in Relationships and Social Media1:25:33 Belief in Love and Life's Fundamental Questions» Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com» Discover Bioniq Lab peptide products- https://bioniqlab.com/mike1010% off with code MIKE10» Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/» Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst» Follow JamesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nycdivorcelawyer/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.nycdivorces.com/

Did you know you can use AI to help defend yourself?Listen in as our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Anna Lissansky, founder of Alice in Legal Wonderland, a platform specifically built for the people the legal system has completely forgotten about.Diane met Anna at Web Summit when she boldly ran up and pitched herself, and the conversation that followed is one you need to hear.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The staggering reality of what a contested divorce actually costs and why most women in the disadvantaged position just give up and walk away from what they're entitled toWhy Anna represented herself through a three-year process, including an 11-day trial and what gave her the confidence to do itThe hallucination problem: why you can't just use ChatGPT for legal matters and what Anna built to solve itThe legal strategy Anna used that most lawyers deliberately avoid and how it dramatically changed the shape of her trialThe moment she corrected the judge three times in court and why having the right tools made that possibleWhy there are over 700 AI tools built for lawyers but barely a dozen for the people who actually need help mostThe "forgotten middle": who falls through the cracks of the legal system and why legal aid isn't the answer for most womenWhat to say from day one of your case if you're using AI and how transparency actually protects youThe simulation feature coming to Alice: how it will help you make informed decisions before spending years and thousands of dollars finding out the hard wayAnna's final message about lawyers, judges, and the accountability gap nobody talks aboutAnna's Bio:Ana Lissansky has always been an early adopter of technology. Recently, as a single mother navigating a contested divorce, she began using AI tools to support her case because she could not afford a lawyer while facing her ex's legal team. She self-represented during an 11-day trial and learned firsthand that AI can sometimes generate inaccurate information. That experience inspired her to launch Alice in Legal Wonderland, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping self-represented litigants use AI more effectively and responsibly. She is currently building partnerships with verifiable AI companies that prioritize accuracy and transparency by admitting when they “don't know” instead of generating false information.Anna's Social Media links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lissanskyWebsite: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comSign up to Alice in Legal Wonderland's waitlist and receive 2 months free access: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comThis show's host, Diane Rolston, is called THE Expert on Being Dynamic and living a Dynamic Life.

One of the hardest questions you'll ever ask yourself isn't about property settlement, parenting arrangements or court. It's much earlier than that. Should I stay or should I go? In this first episode of our brand new series, The Legal Side of Separation, I'm joined by family lawyer Dani Zetzer from Respect Legal to explore the stage of separation that often gets overlooked the period where you're questioning everything but haven't yet made a final decision. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck between staying and leaving, wondering whether their relationship can be repaired, questioning their own judgement, or trying to understand what their options actually are. Together, Dani and I discuss why this stage requires a different type of support, when legal advice becomes important, and the red flags that shouldn't be ignored. We also unpack coercive control, financial abuse, gaslighting, the myths people believe about lawyers and court, and the practical steps you can take whether you're planning to stay or preparing to leave. Most importantly, we discuss how to make informed decisions from a place of knowledge rather than fear. In this episode we discuss: Why the "should I stay or should I go?" stage needs different guidance than a decided separation; When seeking legal advice is appropriate and when it may not be; The truth about free legal consultations; How to choose the right support team around you; Why education before legal advice can be so valuable; Financial transparency and understanding the reality of your financial position; The risks of delaying important decisions; What "getting your ducks in a row" actually looks like; What coercive control is and how it can present in relationships; Gaslighting and the impact it can have on decision-making; Financial abuse red flags and warning signs; Why engaging a lawyer does not automatically mean going to court; How family law matters are resolved outside of court; Negotiating with high-conflict personalities and narcissistic traits; The June 2025 Family Law Act changes relating to family violence and property matters; The myth that leaving the family home means you lose your entitlement to it; Practical steps to consider if you are preparing to leave; Important considerations for parents navigating separation. Key Takeaway The legal side of separation doesn't begin when court proceedings start. It often begins much earlier when you're trying to understand your options, recognise unhealthy patterns, and make decisions about what comes next.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Two threads of the Murdaugh case worth pulling on — what was already in motion before June 7, 2021, and what the prosecution may not get to use at a second trial.Maggie Murdaugh had reportedly retained a divorce attorney. She was living apart from Alex. June 7 was a day she did not want to spend at Moselle, and two witnesses testified to exactly that. She went anyway. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — who writes about separation danger on her Substack, Spotlight on Psychology — walks through the behavioral mechanics. What shifts inside a controlling partner who senses he's losing his grip. Why compliance becomes automatic after years of keeping the peace. What someone in that window needs to recognize before it's too late.On the legal track, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled the prosecution overreached at the original trial. Twelve and a half hours on financial crimes testimony was deemed excessive, and any retrial must be significantly trimmed. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis maps the evidentiary terrain. The court specifically flagged testimony about individual theft victims as having no probative value on motive — emotionally damaging to Alex Murdaugh, legally irrelevant. What survives is the narrow exposure window: the firm's CFO allegedly confronting Murdaugh about missing fees the morning of the killings, and an opposing attorney's hearing scheduled three days later that would have forced financial disclosure.Faddis also examines the open evidentiary questions the court left unsettled — the firearm analysis, the blue raincoat, the gunshot residue testimony, and the iPhone demonstration — and identifies which one gives the defense its strongest opening. Plus the strategic decision the defense has to make before anything else.FOOTER LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Divorce can rattle everything you believe in. Your sense of family, your identity, and even your understanding of God's plan for your life... And for many Christians, the place that should offer the most comfort, the church, can sometimes feel like the last place they're able to be honest about what they're going through. In this episode, Karen sits down with Bree Sullivan-Howell, divorce attorney, passionate children's advocate, and award-winning Christian author of Crush Your Divorce & Keep Your Faith and Crush Your Comeback, for a conversation that brings together sharp legal wisdom and deep spiritual grounding in a way that is rarely offered to people navigating divorce. With more than 20 years of experience in high-stakes custody litigation and family law, Bree has sat with men and women at some of the most painful and disorienting moments of their lives. What she brings to this conversation is both practical and profound, an understanding of how faith doesn't disappear in the middle of relational chaos, but can actually deepen through it. Karen and Bree explore how traditional church messaging can unintentionally shame Christian women going through divorce, how misunderstood scripture can leave people feeling pressured to stay in unhealthy or even abusive marriages, and how an eternal perspective, rooted in prayer and truth, can replace fear with clarity. Bree shares how she weaves scriptural wisdom directly into her legal strategy, encouraging clients toward dignified conduct, truthful evidence, and emotional steadiness even when everything around them feels unstable. They also speak candidly about fathers navigating custody, a dimension of divorce that often goes underserved. Bree addresses the reality that many loving, involved dads face an uphill battle to stay connected to their children, often needing to "double prove" their parenting, resist adopting a negative narrative pushed by an ex, and communicate with intention using tools like BIFF, all while continuing to simply show up for their kids, consistently and without fail. Whether you are at the beginning of this process, in the thick of it, or trying to find solid ground on the other side, this episode offers both the legal clarity and the spiritual encouragement to take your next step with confidence. God's purpose doesn't end when the marriage does, and this conversation is a powerful reminder of that.

In this episode, we sit down with Jamie Joy Campbell, a veteran family law attorney from Ohio, to discuss the "half-life" of marriage and how to catch the symptoms of a dying relationship before they become terminal. Jamie shares her unique "Faith Aligned" perspective on why most people don't actually want a divorce—they want a different life—and how being proactive with your "marriage business plan" can prevent a courtroom battle years down the road.Key TakeawaysThe Half-Life of Marriage: Jamie explains her theory that if a marriage ends at year ten, it was likely dying for five years. Understanding this timeline helps couples recognize that "sudden" issues are often years in the making.The "Hard Heart" Phenomenon: Divorce isn't just a legal filing; it's the result of one or both partners' hearts hardening. Jamie discusses how to identify this callousness and the steps required to soften it.Unmet Expectations vs. Reality: Most conflict stems from "unspoken scripts." Jamie breaks down why we project fantasies onto our partners and how to align your expectations for a healthier union.Separation as a Tool for Reconciliation: Why a physical separation doesn't have to mean the end. Jamie explains how space can provide the clarity needed to decide if a marriage is worth rebuilding from the foundation up.The "Business Plan" Approach: Why prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are less about "Plan B" and more about having the difficult, necessary conversations regarding finances, family legacy, and values.Featured Quotes"Divorce is really just a legal piece of paper. What you actually want is to change how you're living. Sometimes you don't need a lawyer; you need a new way to be together." "A healthy marriage is like a rare diamond. You don't just find it; you protect it, you polish it, and you treat it as the high-value asset it is."In This Episode, We Discuss:The "Half-Life" theory of failing marriages.Why cheating is a symptom, not the root cause, of divorce.The difference between needing a divorce and needing a physical separation.The 5-step "Faith Aligned" process for marital unwinding.The emotional and financial cost of grieving a "living death."Why we ignore red flags: "You cannot know what you don't want to know."Using prenups as a business plan for your family's future.Resources MentionedJamie Joy Campbell's Webinar: Navigating Divorce & Spiritual Reconciliation.Register HereFollow Joy Here: FacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeTikTokRecognizing Potential: Marriage coaching for high-achieving professionals.Email: coaching@recognizingpotential.comWebsite: www.recognizingpotential.comVerafy your relationship using the Verafied app hereSKOOL CommunitySEO Keywords: Marriage coaching, relationship advice, family law, avoiding divorce, prenuptial agreements, co-parenting tips, emotional sobriety, Gottman Method, relationship red flags, Christian marriage advice.Support the show

Mel calls today's episode one of the most moving, meaningful, and transformational conversations ever to happen on the podcast. She says it is THE most important relationship advice that she has ever heard and you will ever hear. Today's guest, James Sexton, is a world-renowned authority on relationships, but coming from a perspective you may not expect. He's the author of the bestselling book How to Stay in Love. But he's also one of the top divorce attorneys in the world, which means for decades he's had a front-row seat to what makes marriages thrive – and the reason why marriages fall apart. He's going to tell you most breakups don't happen because of something catastrophic. They result from all the little mistakes over time that everyone misses.

In this noteworthy episode, we're joined by divorce attorney Ryan Gatti for a conversation that will challenge the way you think about marriage. We discuss forgiveness, the heavy lifestyle shifts that marriage requires, and how God's love does not disappear in the middle of divorce. We talk about how opposites don't just attract they can distract and attack & giving practical tips for strengthening your relationships. You'll hear why marriage is described as a holy war, why it's defined just as much by what you refuse to do as what you choose to do, and how learning to speak to the king or queen inside your spouse can change everything. Whether you're married, engaged, or single, this episode will give you a new lens for understanding relationships through a spiritual perspective.

Finding a great divorce lawyer is not enough, especially if you're dealing with a narcissist or high-conflict ex. This episode reveals the three critical truths no one talks about when choosing a divorce lawyer, and how misunderstanding them can cost you your case, your money, and your peace of mind.
This week I'm joined by Tyler Bailey. He's a new lawyer coming up in a family full of seasoned attorneys, and we talk about the pressure that comes with that, especially working in divorce law. Tyler opens up about the emotional side of the job, how it's shaped him as a man, and the personal growth that's come from stepping into a tough role early in his career. We also get into how he balances law with content creation, plus why communication, trust, and humor matter so much in relationships.Follow Tyler's Journey: @tylerbailey24Interested in my private coaching & FREE workouts?

Most people think marriage is about love. James Sexton knows better — it's about survival. After handling 2,000+ divorces over 25 years, this legendary divorce attorney has seen it all: the affairs that start with attention instead of sex, the gestures that can end marriages, and the brutal truth that 53% of marriages end in divorce. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, James breaks down why half of all marriages fail and what the other half is doing right. From the real reason people cheat (hint: it's not what you think) to why Instagram is an infidelity-generating machine, James reveals the patterns that predict divorce with scary accuracy. We dive into the economics of relationships, why prenups are actually love letters, and how a dog can teach you more about marriage than any therapist. He shares the craziest prenup he's ever seen (10 pounds = $10,000 less in alimony), why "happy wife, happy life" is terrible advice, and the one question that softens even the most bitter couples. But this isn't just about what goes wrong — it's about what goes right. James explains why second marriages have better odds, how to fight fairly without weaponizing intimacy, and why the male equivalent of flowers might be exactly what you think it is. If you've ever wondered why some couples make it while others crash and burn, or if you want to save your relationship before it ends up in a lawyer's office, this episode will change how you think about love, commitment, and the bravest thing any human can do.
