Divorce negotiations can feel like a battlefield—two people locked in conflict, each fighting to protect what matters most. But what if you stopped viewing your ex as the enemy and started seeing the process as a strategic game—one where understanding, clarity, and emotional regulation could actually help you get better results? In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce podcast, I'm joined by Brenda Bridges—Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Divorce Coach, and Mediator. Brenda has not only helped countless clients navigate the financial and emotional complexities of divorce—she's lived it. After experiencing her own financially devastating divorce, she made it her mission to help others avoid the same mistakes by approaching divorce strategically instead of emotionally. Together, we explore how negotiating during divorce doesn't have to be driven by fear, anger, or reactivity. We talk about the importance of understanding your spouse's values—what they truly care about—and how using that insight can completely shift the way you approach settlement discussions. Whether it's financial security, time with the kids, or protecting their image, knowing what drives them can give you a surprising amount of leverage. We also dive into what it means to regulate your emotions, communicate with intention, and stay grounded during mediation or high-conflict negotiations. If you've ever felt stuck in a tug-of-war, always bracing for the next blow, this conversation offers a new perspective—one rooted in strategy, self-awareness, and the belief that you can walk away from divorce with clarity, confidence, and a future you're excited about. This episode is for anyone ready to stop playing defense and start negotiating from a place of strength and insight. Because when you understand the emotional and financial landscape of divorce, you can make smarter choices and protect what truly matters to you.

Divorce, especially in high-conflict situations, can feel like an endless emotional tug-of-war. In this solo episode, Karen dives into the struggles of trying to control a soon-to-be ex during divorce proceedings, whether it's about co-parenting, finances, or decision-making. Engaging in these battles only fuels the high-conflict personality and keeps you stuck in stress and frustration. Karen explains why divorce conflict intensifies when you “hold the rope” and offers a powerful framework for knowing when to fight and when to let go. Sometimes, the best move in high-conflict divorce is to disengage. By dropping the rope, you can regain your peace and energy, and focus on building a healthy future post-divorce. If you're ready to stop the emotional tug-of-war and take back control of your life, tune in to discover the power of letting go. This episode offers the tools to break free from unnecessary conflict and start creating a peaceful future after divorce.

Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.Divorce can feel overwhelming—even when faith is a big part of your life. Many people turn to their church for guidance, but what if you don't feel comfortable talking to your pastor? What if the advice you're given doesn't match up with what you know is best for you and your family? What is there is abuse?  In this episode, Kelly Bennett, Esq., continues her conversation with Denny Brewer—a longtime family law attorney, Executive Pastor, and General Counsel at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. They explore what faith communities often get wrong—and right—when it comes to divorce (hint: especially if there is abuse involved), how to navigate faith-based guilt, what to do if your place of worship isn't the right fit for support, and why mediation can be the best choice for handling divorce for privacy and mental (and financial!) well-being reasons. Kelly and Denny chat about:Why many people feel uncomfortable discussing divorce with their faith leaders Why pastors and religious leaders should ask, “Is there abuse?”How abuse can go unmentioned and lead to tragedy When to seek professional guidance outside of your faith community Why mediation is often a better option than going to court Why there is no better time to embrace faith and lean into prayer than during divorce Plus, a couple of very surprising stories… Dennis Brewer is longtime family law attorney, and executive pastor and general counsel at Texas mega Church Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas.

In today's episode, Minnesota Mediation Trainer Dan Simon talks about what it means to be a transformative mediator. He discusses what that means when working with clients and how it leaves them feeling empowered in their decisions. Dan dives into how he handles escalated conversations and creates space and light for clients to work through difficult decisions. Lastly, Dan tells us about his book Self Determination in Mediation and how it can help those outside the mediation field. Tune in today for some amazing mediation tips. In this episode: [1:29] Dan shares his history as a mediator. [6:39] What is transformative mediation? [9:46] Is the best part of transformative mediation when clients come up with an agreement? [12:07] Should a mediator share ideas they've seen with other clients or just let the clients figure out what they should do on their own? [14:53] How Dan handles an escalated conversation. [18:09] How Dan splits his time between mediation and teaching. [18:40] Dan tells us about his book, Self Determination in Mediation. Key Takeaways: Mirrors and lights are used in transformative mediation. People can look in the mirror at themselves and see what they are projecting, creating space and light for individuals to breathe. A mediator should not be telling a couple what to do. Mediators are there to throw ideas around and help facilitate a dynamic conversation, not to ultimately tell clients what to do. We need to realize that we have power, aren't victims of each other, and don't have to victimize each other. It's so important to learn to listen to other people's points of view. Quotes: “Anybody who has studied communication or psychology or human relationships of any kind gets it that if we want to get to a better place, that's going to involve talking to each other.” - Dan Simon “It's actually the clients that are going to come up with the best agreements.” - Dan Simon “Always be watching the clients to see if there is anything triggering them that maybe wouldn't trigger me because it's about them.” - Lesa Koski “In this day in age where there's so much conflict, and there is so much belief in the fact that you're right and another person is wrong. I think we can all learn how to be mediators.” - Lesa Koski Guest Bio: Dan teaches transformative mediation in MN and CA and published the book Self Determination in Mediation with Tara West.

Mediation is a method of negotiation used in almost every divorce, whether you go to court or not. It's important to understand that typical mediation involves both spouses and one mediator who is trying to help both sides come to a settlement. The mediator is not more inclined to one party over the other, and that can be difficult for some people in the process. You can have a lawyer to help you through the mediation process, and in some states you are required to have your own lawyer sign off on the final mediated terms. There is a lot to know, and this episode explains it all!
