Mother's Day can stir up a lot—especially when you're navigating life after divorce. Maybe your ex's voice is still echoing in your head, or your teens are too cool (or too cranky) to make plans. Maybe your kids aren't even with you this year. If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is here to help you mute the noise, return to yourself, and reclaim this day as something sacred and satisfying—no matter what it looks like on the outside. Together, we'll explore how to celebrate yourself without apology, even if no one else is showing up the way you hoped. I'll share what it means to be both realistic and radiant—from managing kids who are resistant or unavailable, to creating a solo tradition that fills your soul (including my own story of picnics, peace, and blooming flowers at the Arboretum). Because Mother's Day isn't about perfection. It's about presence. Whether you're feeling joyful, tender, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to step into your power, choose your own joy, and design a Mother's Day that honors the incredible mom—and woman—you are.

Welcome to "Divorce Devil," a dynamic and candid podcast series hosted by David and Rachel. In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the concept of "Gray Healing" — a phase of emotional recovery that isn't black and white but exists in the gray areas of growth. Together, David and Rachel bring humor, raw honesty, and personal experiences to explore the complexities of post-divorce life, relationships, and self-discovery.In this episode, Rachel and David share their perspectives on navigating the ups and downs of healing, drawing on real-life analogies like fishing tackle boxes and speedbumps in a parking lot. They tackle the challenges of breaking old patterns, maintaining boundaries, and confronting outdated self-perceptions. Through this heartfelt discussion, the cohosts emphasize the importance of being actively present in one's healing journey. They also address the role of faith — whether in oneself, in the unseen, or in the process of life itself — as a pivotal element of recovery.With relatable anecdotes, candid humor, and valuable insights, "Divorce Devil" creates a safe space for listeners to reflect on their own healing journeys and find comfort in knowing they're not alone. Get ready for an engaging conversation that blends laughter, wisdom, and practical advice as David and Rachel remind us that healing is a messy yet beautiful process.Top 10 Important Points from the Episode:Gray Healing Concept: Healing isn't linear; it involves setbacks and progress in a "gray" area of recovery.Old Patterns vs. New Growth: Recognizing and breaking old, unproductive patterns is essential.Faith in Healing: Faith, whether in oneself or the process, is crucial in moving forward.Tools for Healing: Metaphors like tackle boxes highlight the importance of using the right emotional tools for different situations.Parent-Child Dynamics: Evolving parenting approaches while setting boundaries is vital in post-divorce life.Friendships Post-Divorce: Relationships with friends may shift, but they remain important to the healing process.Navigating New Relationships: Handling baggage and avoiding past mistakes in new relationships is a common challenge.Personal Growth: Healing involves self-awareness and embracing new roles and responsibilities.Humor in Healing: Humor can be a powerful tool to cope with tough situations. 10.

The personal stories in this episode will inspire you and fill you with hope for your future. A special thanks to Niko Vitacco, Dave Eichhorn, and Andrew Baird for being on today's podcast! Bible Passage Inspiration: Proverbs 4:1-2 “Hear, O Children, a father's instruction, be attentive, that you may gain understanding.

Divorce can leave lasting legal, mental, and emotional scars that are tough to heal from. The key to recovery, however, is learning to let go. Though it may be easier said than done, letting go is essential for redirecting your energy, finances, and time toward building a brighter future for yourself and your family.Listen in to hear why we find it difficult to let go, as well as how resistance is delaying your healing. I also discuss the role of ‘faith' in the 5F model and how to navigate unexpected twists in your divorce journey. You'll come away with practical steps to help you start letting go and healing from divorce.For show notes and more, visit: https://tinyurl.com/5n99nyft

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.

In this special episode, I'm joined by Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby—licensed psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and founder of Growing Self Counseling & Coaching—to talk about one of the most challenging dynamics we face as CCPTs: supporting children of divorce while also navigating the emotional needs of their parents. While our clinical work is with the child, we can't ignore the impact of the system around them—and parents are often in crisis themselves. Dr. Lisa shares powerful insight into what parents are really going through during separation and divorce, why most therapists (and parents) are not equipped to handle these transitions well, and what we as CCPTs can do to support families more effectively. We explore how to respond when parents are emotionally dysregulated, how to set boundaries while staying supportive, and why having clear, direct conversations is an act of advocacy for the child. This episode is full of practical, compassionate guidance to help you confidently navigate high-conflict family situations while staying rooted in the CCPT model.  Topic Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction & Welcome to Special Guest Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby 01:20 – Lisa's Background & Specialization in Divorce and Co-Parenting 02:45 – What We Miss: Understanding Parents in Crisis 05:35 – Helping Parents Feel Seen and Supported During Divorce 09:40 – Practical Strategies for Supporting Parents from a Distance 14:30 – Why Most Therapists Aren't Trained for Divorce Recovery 19:10 – The Importance of Referring to the Right Kind of Therapist 22:55 – How the Parent's Functioning Affects the Child's Outcomes 27:45 – Having Hard Conversations with Parents—With Clarity and Grace 32:20 – Applying CCPT Principles to Work with Parents 36:55 – Ideal vs. Actual Self in Parenting: Giving Parents a Path Forward 40:15 – Final Takeaways: The Child's Well-Being Depends on the Parent's PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

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. He is the co-author of the new book, Back to Court: A Complete Guide to Child Custody Litigation.  Note: This episode touches on abuse and real-life incidents with unfortunate endings.

On the episode Chris cover a reading from the Sermon on the Plain and how it relates to the divorce process. He discusses the narrow path of doing the right thing, even in the face of difficult times and intense emotions. Bible Passage Inspiration: Luke 6:27-38"Jesus said to his disciples:“To you who hear I say,love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.To the person who strikes you on one cheek,offer the other one as well,and from the person who takes your cloak,do not withhold even your tunic.Give to everyone who asks of you,and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.Do to others as you would have them do to you.For if you love those who love you,what credit is that to you?Even sinners love those who love them.And if you do good to those who do good to you,what credit is that to you?Even sinners do the same.If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,what credit is that to you?Even sinners lend to sinners,and get back the same amount.But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,and lend expecting nothing back;then your reward will be greatand you will be children of the Most High,for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.“Stop judging and you will not be judged.Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.Forgive and you will be forgiven.Give, and gifts will be given to you;a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,will be poured into your lap.For the measure with which you measurewill in return be measured out to you.”Resources: www.MensDivorceRecovery.org
