The way to a final divorce decree can follow several paths. The traditional, or socially branded, path is the path of litigation. Many have found litigation not the right fit and even have regrets with the outcome it produced. Alternative divorce methods, like mediation, pro-se (or kitchen table), and arbitration, are becoming more prevalent. In this episode, Steve compares the traditional and alternative paths, and shares both benefits and weaknesses of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods.

Divorce can be a chaotic time. And while you're rebuilding your life, you catch yourself being pulled at every side – friends asking for the exclusive scoop, seeing your ex get into a new relationship, or sulking in pity that you're never going to be in love again. Divorced Girl Smiling creator Jackie Pilossoph wants you to regain your focus and take control of what truly matters… without being so hard on yourself.  Isn't it amazing that you get to create something new? Now's the time to give yourself grace and make the most of your clean slate. Tune in to this episode on Staying Empowered and Focused In Your Divorce with Jackie Pilossoph Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Schedule time to feel your emotions. The most upsetting news could break out while you're in front of your loved ones. And while hiding your feelings is helpful. Not sparing time to express it at all can be detrimental. If crying at a later time is difficult, journaling is a discreet way to release.  ✔️ Make room for goodness to crowd out the negativity. Instead of allowing your worries to take up your time and energy, take a deep breath and recalibrate your focus. Get busy and fill your mind with gratitude.  ✔️ You have power over how you feel. Even without a significant other, you can be secure in yourself by doing the work on your self-worth and confidence and creating the life you want.  ✔️ Fix yourself to be in the best position to meet new partners. It's not the people or your location. It's your mindset and how you show up on dates. Have you aligned yourself to your highest, most authentic self? This will help you to attract the right people.  ✔️ Start small and do what makes you happy! Be open to new experiences, revisit old hobbies you've once enjoyed, and take baby steps. The universe will notice your hard work and your little actions will build into something bigger.

Settling a divorce isn't the end of dealing with your ex-partner, especially when you have kids. Certified Life + Conscious Parenting Coach Mikki Gardner guides parents like you to navigate the drama of co-parenting by being aligned with your values, setting boundaries, and focusing on what you can control. Remember, you get to be the captain of your ship. You have the power to figure out what your co-parenting relationship looks like. Tune in to this episode on How To Co-Parent With A New Partner In The Picture with Mikki Gardner Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Guide your kids through the co-parenting relationship. They quickly learn what they see, so be an example of integrity to them. It's going to be hard, but they'll benefit from you living a joy-filled, stress-free life. ✔️ Move from a place of self-awareness and “response-ability”. You have full control over outcomes by being mindful of your responses. Stay clear on your values, and only partake in conversations that align with them. ✔️ Allow everyone to have their own feelings and experiences. You don't need to fix everything. Understand your place, and respect the rules of your co-parent's household.  ✔️ Be open to your ex's new partner. Fighting against it will only hurt you. What matters is that they genuinely love and care for your ex and your kids. You are on the same team. ✔️ The person you divorced isn't the same person today. People grow, learn, and change. Learn how to compartmentalize and focus on your life. They need to see you save yourself. ✔️ Show up the way you want to be treated. It's easy to be passive-aggressive. But taking initiative is the best way to set the tone of what you want the co-parenting relationship to look like. Mikki Gardner is a Certified Life + Conscious Parenting Coach, the host of Co-Parenting With Confidence Podcast, and a mom of 3 (her son and 2 bonus son)!  After learning how to navigate life post-divorce & using it as a catalyst for her own transformation, Mikki now helps moms move past the divorce drama to become calm, confident co-parents, even without their ex's participation.  Mikki is on a mission to help women navigate the emotional and practical difficulties of divorce and co-parenting while creating an intentional, joy + ease-filled life after divorce.

While my divorce and mom's passing shook me to my core, it also pivoted me in directions I never thought I'd travel. It became a time of deeper self-discovery and developing my intuition. Recently, I've also discovered my life's purpose goes beyond divorce recovery. And today, I'll share my thought process and how you too can apply this in thriving through your life transitions. Believe me – this wasn't easy. But it definitely is doable. Tune in to this episode on Life Transitions Are Stepping Stones Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Pivotal moments are uncomfortable for a reason. Like a caterpillar waiting in a cocoon to become a butterfly, life transitions are painful but true growth is waiting for us on the other side.  ✔️ Reframe your perspective. Your divorce isn't a sign of a failed marriage. It's the universe telling you that you're meant for so much more. This is your time to learn and become the best, most authentic version of yourself.  ✔️ Reflect on what this transition means for you. What is it awakening you to? What is it preparing you for? Instead of feeling regret for the decisions you've made at that point, consider where this is taking you. If you're holding resistance from confronting this transition, ask yourself where is this stemming from. Because what I know to be true is that you're on the path to a new you that you'll fall in love with. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

When challenges arise, it's so easy to default into doing what's comfortable. But this autopilot setting keeps you stuck in the monotony of life. What I know to be true is that this way of thinking isn't serving you. You need to get off that hamster wheel to live to your full potential. But what it takes is having the courage to make uncomfortable decisions. It's indeed scary diving into the unknown. But you get to make that choice. Tune in to this episode on Choosing Courage Over Discomfort Key points covered in this episode:    ✔️ Having courage changes your life trajectory. When you take the challenge of standing up for yourself, thinking differently, making new choices, and letting go of people's opinions, your reality will align with what you want.   ✔️ The universe opens up when we surrender. August was my self-care month – and the moment I set that intention, I have reaped more rewards than any other time in my life. It starts when you resist the urge to fall into the old mindset of scarcity.   ✔️ Courageous steps don't have to be huge. It can be as simple as making a friend, seeking help from your community, or getting a mentor to help you unpack your resistance.  ✔️ Change happens once you let go of what doesn't serve you. The longer you hold on to limiting beliefs, the more you're blocking yourself from what the universe is trying to bring to you. I invite you to commit to choosing discomfort. Be present with everything that comes your way so you can make the most out of it. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

Make Money Your Thing: Ditch the Shame and Design your Dream Life One of the biggest problems divorced women face is handling their finances. After so many life-changing decisions post-divorce, how can you take charge and no longer run away from your money situation? Financial advisor Kalee Boisvert is an amazing example and resource for women who wish to gain back control of their finances. She wants you to make money your thing and actually enjoy making it work for you! Tune in to this episode on How To Take Control of Your Finances with Kalee Boisvert Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Shift into an empowering money mindset. Write down all your limiting beliefs about money and read them out loud. They sound ridiculous, right? Now, you get to pivot and rewrite your attitude toward finances. ✔️ Detach money from your identity. Your worth isn't based on how much money you have. And you don't have to be “perfect” to attract prosperity. Welcome the energy and keep a positive outlook on what's out there for you.  ✔️ Know exactly where you are. How much are your monthly and yearly earnings? How about your monthly spending? What are your assets and liabilities? List them all so you know where you can start in your saving goals. ✔️ Make your money work for you. Dip your toes into investments and let your money grow. Don't let it just collect dust in your bank account. You want your wealth to increase passively – even when you're asleep! ✔️ Be clear on your goals. Want to go on that overseas vacation? Or eyeing a new car? Now that you know your starting point, you can determine how much you need to save in a certain period of time. It's important to remember that money is a tool! It can help us get to where we want to be if we use it wisely. Let go of the shame around your finances, and see abundance come your way. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

One day, I had a moment where I was just so exhausted. So I was venting to my coach from a place of victimhood. What I realized was that I was feeling this way because I hadn't been taking care of myself. I've neglected my needs. I haven't been nurturing myself to receive love and care. If you are on a low-vibrational day, chances are that all you need is some self-care – to slow down and prioritize yourself. Doing this will open you up to the abundant life that you deserve. Tune in to this episode on How Self-Care Creates Abundance After Divorce Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ You have the power to shift your energy anytime. You can allow yourself to lean into what you've been ignoring. Faking it will only waste more energy and attract things that you don't want.  ✔️ This month is dedicated to your self-care. Set the intention that you'll be loving and caring for yourself. Every decision you make should serve you and fill your cup.  ✔️ Allow yourself to feel the icky stuff. When you acknowledge these feelings, you will have to get to the other side eventually. Listen to these emotions and thoughts and consider where could they be coming from.  ✔️ Carve out time for self-care. Nobody else will do it for you. It doesn't matter if it's an hour or 15 minutes. You get to make yourself a priority and do activities that nourish you. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks. Now What?: 5 Steps to Find Yourself and Heal After Going From “I Do” to “I'm Divorced” on Amazon!

Your divorce may be the end of a chapter, but it's also the start of a new one. And I'm here to tell you that NOW is the best time to rebuild your life – a life that is for you, that aligns with your values, and that brings you joy.

Tune in to this episode on Building a Life for YOU After Divorce Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Release the past. It no longer defines you. It's time to start living in the now. Don't allow your past and fears of the future to make decisions. Let go of the stress and anxiety that come with them. ✔️ Practice mindfulness. Being in the now enables you to fully express joy and create a stronger foundation for yourself as you move forward in life. Stop multitasking and put away all distractions. ✔️ Putting yourself first doesn't make you selfish. Set boundaries and learn to say no. When you take care of yourself, you are a better version of yourself to everyone in your life. ✔️ Self-care is about nourishing your mind, body, and soul. Pick up the hobbies you've forgotten after your marriage. Learn as much as you can. Finding a wholesome activity is like gifting yourself with additional therapy. ✔️ Surround yourself with positive influences. How are the people around you impacting your well-being? Keep the ones that inspire and uplift you. You don't deserve to be stuck in negativity because of others. ✔️ Have grace with yourself.

“I want a divorce.” I had no idea about the impact of these four words until I actually went through it.  Now that I've successfully gotten to the other side, building a life for myself and my kids, I'm here to be your voice of hindsight.  There are so many things that we don't know that happens once we ask for a divorce. And I want you to be able to navigate this process by having a clear picture of its implications and what you can do to get through it stronger and better.  Tune in to this episode on What I Wish I Knew Before Asking For A Divorce  Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Stop carelessly throwing the word “divorce” around! The moment you say it could be the start of the dissolution of your marriage and impact you financially. Don't use it as a threat. Consult an expert or a support group if you're planning it – some couples actually go back together when the situation is handled properly.  ✔️ Know what your finances look like. Have a financial planner to help you. Get hold of your tax returns and ensure you have a clear view of credit cards, individual and joint accounts, and other assets. ✔️ Create the vision of the life you want after divorce. A coach can guide you in visualizing that future so you can make decisions from an objective lens. With this, you'll clearly know what you're willing to fight for and compromise. ✔️ Divorce isn't just between you and your ex. It affects your kids too! Consider them in every choice of this journey. You want to set up a future where you can be a good parent and nurture them in this challenging process. ✔️ Speak kinder to yourself. Quiet the negative self-talk. Constant self-judgment keeps you emotional and steers you away from your vision. This is why a coach is so important to help you correct your language. If you're somebody who's in the middle of a divorce, don't give up. Don't be afraid to ask for help. You need to have somebody who's been on this path to guide you in moving through the waves much more quickly. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

Adjusting to a blended family can get complicated. But what I know to be true is that love can be fostered and resilience can be created within the family unit.  Let's dive into the intricacies of blended families, the hurdles and rewards of this new dynamic, and my practical advice on how you can navigate your path. And I assure you, it is possible for every blended family to thrive and be harmonious with effective co-parenting and creating new traditions.  Tune in to this episode on  Challenges & Rewards of Blended Families After Divorce  Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Foster communication among both adults and kids. Creating extra space for new family members and recognizing each other's roles can get challenging. But talking it out always helps. ✔️ Balance respect and openness. Teach your kids to treat their step-parent as any authority figure, and vice versa. Practice compassion in listening and understanding their emotions during this transition period. Assure them their feelings matter and nobody gets replaced. ✔️ Love gets to expand. Assure your kids that there's nothing wrong with loving their step-parents and step-siblings. It may be hard to accept this at first, but it's important for your kids to have positive relationships. ✔️ Blended families create new connections and lessons. Now you and your kids have a bigger support network as you build your resiliency and empathy. This also means more memories and shared experiences with more people. ✔️ Blended families provide endless resources for your kids. There's always more to give your kids! Having more people with knowledge and experience that surrounds them encourages them to try more things. ✔️ Blended families strengthen bonds. It isn't easy to get in the swing of things, but the idea that you'll get to do so many things together is exciting! This dynamic requires so much patience and willingness to adapt. But once you get past the challenges, the rewards will start to outweigh them – making the whole journey completely worth it. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

Your divorce is serious business. Sounds overwhelming, but it's exactly why taking the lead to ensure the best outcomes should be your priority. Divorce and Decision Coach Karen Covy guides and empowers women to be the CEO of their divorces, helping them make better decisions aligned with the future they want to prevent bigger messes in relationships and finances. It's not about being in competition with your ex. It's finally owning the situation, putting your hands on the wheel, and steering the journey toward what matters most to you. Tune in to this episode on Why You Need to be the CEO of Your Divorce with Karen Covy Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Stop telling yourself you can't! Take a breath, and do what you gotta do to deal with your emotions to avoid making rash choices.  ✔️ Get support. And it doesn't have to be friends and family. Coaches, therapists, and groups provide different kinds of encouragement and helpful insight that you can use to keep pushing through. ✔️ Know what you want and negotiate. You can't focus on a vision if you don't have one. What do you want your future to look like, in terms of your kids, finances, and relationship with yourself? Discuss this with your spouse and set firm boundaries. ✔️ You know your spouse better than your attorney.

One of the most significant challenges I faced after the divorce was living with uncertainty.  Having been with my ex-husband for 23 years, our family structure and daily routines were so predictable. Then, here I was, suddenly trying to pave a new road.  For sure, most of you have felt the same way. But what I know to be true is that you're more resilient than you give yourself credit for.  Here are some of my empowering strategies to help you embrace the unknown and welcome your new life with grace and courage.  Tune in to this episode on How To Face Uncertainty in Divorce  Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Embrace the present moment. The only time that truly exists is now. Have a mindfulness practice like breathwork and meditation. Shifting your focus to the now brings clarity and peace because you're grasping something certain. ✔️ Cultivate self-compassion. Extend yourself the same kindness you give others. Acknowledge the emotions coming up for you and name these feelings without judgment. Treat yourself like you're your own best friend! ✔️ See your divorce as an opportunity for self-growth. Now's the time to invest in your personal development! Rekindle the parts of yourself that you've sacrificed to accommodate your marriage. Give yourself the chance to step out of your comfort zone. ✔️ Adopt a neutral mindset. Life changes all the time. Stop categorizing what happens to you as “good” or “bad”. This allows you to easily adapt to any situation and slowly shed the controller mindset. The unexpected can happen in the best possible way. ✔️ Have a community of people to support you. Not friends, not family – but others who have experienced similar journeys. You must have a safe space where you can gain insights and feel encouraged.  Living with uncertainty after divorce requires patience. If you implement any of these strategies, I know that you'll be able to navigate your life with a sense of confidence, stability, assurance, and faith.   Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

The biggest move you could ever make after your divorce (or even in the middle of it!) is aligning with your heart.  This ultimately means getting out of your head and not listening to your ego. The negative inner voice is what's keeping you stuck in resentment and blocking you from a brighter, more abundant future.  What I want for you is to get out of that unhealthy place and incorporate these new habits so you can finally step into your heart center and live a life of love and light.  Tune in to this episode on Top Moves To Make After Divorce  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Do a spiritual practice consistently. Whether it's meditating, journaling, reading scripture, or walking in nature, it has to be done regularly. Transformation is a 24/7 choice. But this doesn't come automatically. As humans, we must choose to show up every day and do what we need to do.  ✔️ Fight ego with discomfort. Doing something new requires the strength to intentionally do things differently. Go against auto-pilot mode because whenever you're stretching yourself, that's where you'll find growth on the other side.  ✔️ Push through the resistance. Do it even if you don't want to! It's so much easier to wallow in resentment, but combating the easy way out aligns us with our hearts. Check back in with yourself and ensure you're within integrity as you go work your way through this divorce. I invite you to challenge your ego daily and ask yourself if you're speaking in your authentic voice. Have the courage and faith to overcome the challenges of your divorce by listening to your inner truth. This will catapult you into the life you desire. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

A life-changing event like a divorce can bring anger and resentment within us. But sometimes, we don't know what to do with these feelings. You might sweep them under the rug or find yourself expressing them in unhealthy ways. Verbally saying “I've let it go” isn't exactly true if these 10 signs are still happening to you. The good news, though: When you choose to move forward, you CAN get through this! Tune in to this episode on 10 Signs You're Still Stuck In Anger Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Do you still have lingering resentment? Check-in with yourself if you're carrying this heaviness inside you.   ✔️ Stop playing the blame game. I always say that pointing fingers at the other is like drinking poison and expecting the other to die.  ✔️ Are you putting off your healing journey? The shortcut to getting to the other side is deeply feeling the emotions.  ✔️ Struggling to let go keeps you stuck. Focusing on the bad times is only evidence of why your marriage fell apart. Shift and put your energy on the positive.  ✔️ Getting triggered easily is also a sign. Our families and friends sometimes are the recipient of our outbursts. Do your best to be better.  ✔️ Disengage with negative self-talk. Low self-confidence and self-esteem will only worsen your deep-seated anger. ✔️  Do you still have trust issues? Ensure that you're healed and have a clean slate before getting into a new relationship. ✔️  Only you can push yourself forward. Wallowing in your sadness is therapeutic. But don't stay there forever. No one will save you but YOU! ✔️  You no longer need to withdraw emotionally. You might still be afraid of people's pestering questions about your divorce. Process your feelings first before getting out there. ✔️  Anger breeds stagnancy. Putting your energy into this negative emotion hinders you from pursuing the things that bring you joy. Are you looking to find more strategies and tips for moving through your anger? Join my free online event, Rising Through The Ashes, on June 12!

Most of us throughout our lives have believed confidence is external. We thought that once we get that high-paying job, lose 10 pounds, or get into that romantic relationship, that's when we become confident. But that couldn't be farther from the truth.  Top speaker and best-selling author Nicole Kalil is here to uncover the truth about confidence, what it is, and how you can source and build it sustainably.  Tune in to this episode on The Role of Confidence In Divorce with Nicole Kalil Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Confidence is internal. Research has proven that women's confidence fluctuates through the years, dropping in their teenage years and peaking in their fifties and sixties. Shift your mindset from “Why am I not confident?” to “Am I connected to my confidence?” It's all in there living inside of you – you just have to uncover it yourself!  ✔️ Quiet the head trash! We have a LOT of voices in our minds. The noisiest, self-deprecating one is your head trash, while the compassionate one is your inner knowing. Silence the former, and turn up the volume of the latter.  ✔️ Rewrite your internal story. Build your confidence muscle by answering these questions. What are the facts? What am I making up about the facts? Is there a more productive, empowered way to see it? Where do I go from here?  ✔️ Action builds confidence. The little steps DO count! If you want to be healthier, drinking more water could be the first way to go. And give yourself the grace to rest and trust yourself during the hard times.   ✔️ Confidence is a choice you get to make. Other practical ways to strengthen your self-belief are to keep your commitments, set boundaries, and speak your truth. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

My journey of self-discovery was a process where I was able to truly understand who I was based on my experiences. This meant letting go of comparison, intentionally living a meaningful and happier life, and choosing self-forgiveness.

This creates less resistance and more ease into flowing into that healed state that you want to be in. ✔️ Make amends with yourself, and take small steps to change.

Abundance isn't just about money – it can also be applied to time. I'm inviting you to surrender all your limiting beliefs and remember: What you think, you create. Step out of your comfort zone and embrace your power. You have the ability to shape the life you so badly desire once you apply these actionable tips to shift your mindset. Tune in to this episode on Mindset Tips about Time to Create Abundance Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ When creating abundance, time doesn't exist.  It has to do more with who you are being and what you're thinking. These factors are what will transform your reality. ✔️ What is meant to be will come.  Co-creating with the universe means our desires manifest in ways we don't expect. Let go of control. Stop thinking of immediate results. Allow the universe to deal with the “How”. Pay close attention to the signs. ✔️ Set your intentions.  As you go about your day, have a purpose for everything you're doing. For example, I intend to inspire and motivate you with my work. And it has reflected in the abundant life I have today. ✔️ Regularly check in with your higher power.  Ensure that you're aligned with the life you wish to create. Make use of the tools and resources to get you back in that aligned state when you feel like you've fallen out. --------------- Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

Divorce is painful. And unknowingly, this pain we feel stirs up anger inside of us that is so difficult to let go of. I'm here to tell you that holding on to this resentment won't change your circumstances nor will it make you feel any better. Let me share with you three ways you can finally release these emotions and open yourself up to a new life of joy. Tune in to this episode: How to Stop Resenting Your Ex Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Acknowledge your emotions.  Step out of the victim mindset, own what happened and how you feel, and name that feeling. Being aware of its existence helps you move forward in dealing with it. ✔️ Express your anger.  You can do it in a healthy way, such as writing a letter or talking aloud in the car – as long as nobody hears you. What's most important is releasing it. ✔️ Heal yourself.  Recovering from emotional hurt is no different from a physical injury. Nurture yourself, give yourself compassion, and pick up the lessons you need to move forward. Get a copy of Divorce Sucks.

Do you want to know what your deepest divorce Super Power is? Of course you do! Take my brand new quiz and discover more about yourself and the super power you possess that will take you through divorce into your dream life. https://thedivorcerehab.com/quiz-start-site-podcast For a woman from a household with two incomes or a wife relying on their former spouse as the breadwinner — going through a divorce can be downright horrifying. What happens when you think you are left with "nothing"?  Join me in this powerful episode with Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Lisa Zeiderman, who shares valuable nuggets to help you address your finances with less stress.  ▶️ How to Navigate Complex Financial Issues and Find Empowerment Through Your Finances with Lisa Zeiderman. ✔️ As a matrimonial attorney, CFL, and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Lisa Zeiderman shares her inspiring origin story of helping women and families go through a divorce. After getting into the fashion business at 18, she survived a divorce and custody case. "What most people find frustrating is a lack of responsiveness. I experienced the same with my attorneys. The client needs to feel we have their back. I decided then that I could be helpful to people. And so that's why I ended up going to law school." ✔️ There's so much emotion tied to divorce when divorce is a business transaction, yet we bring that emotional piece into it, especially regarding our finances. Lisa shares that women need to be reassured that they can go through the process less stressed. In consultations, two main issues must be addressed: custody of the children and finances.  ✔️ Achieving a less complicated divorce process and a rewarding future requires setting reasonable expectations as early as possible. Divorce is hard, but you must be kinder to yourself and allow others to come in and give you the strong support you need.  ✔️ No matter what the situation, divorce disputes are resolvable. People have to realize that it is a marathon and not a sprint. Lisa establishes that the lack of understanding makes divorce scary and way more stressful for many women. Her essential piece of advice: don't let that fear control YOU. Resources and services are available to help you start separating the emotion from the financial element of divorce. ✔️ Do not do divorce by yourself. You want reliable and credible people in your corner, explaining the law, the finances, and the psychological aspects of the divorce process. It would be best if you had a passionate and empathetic team who has your best intentions in their mind. Are you clamming up pursuing your legal separation, or are you ready to open the door for better resolution and positive outcomes?  Let us come to your rescue and make this divorce your life's most significant gift.  ______________________________________________________________ Lisa Zeiderman is Managing Partner at Miller Zeiderman LLP, based in New York.

Take my brand new quiz and discover more about yourself and the super power you possess that will take you through divorce into your dream life. https://thedivorcerehab.com/quiz-start-site-podcast I struggled with forgiveness so much. In fact, it was the hardest part of my recovery process after my divorce. And I know you are going through the same things, too. So today, I'll be breaking down these struggles we experience as we get ourselves on the path to forgiveness. I'll also be sharing why it's so important for you to forgive yourself so you can finally move forward into the new life you deserve. Tune in to this episode: Why Forgiving Yourself is Crucial For Moving On Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Carrying guilt hinders us from forgiving ourselves. You may feel you're half-responsible. But guilt just gets in the way of you seeing your true worth. ✔️ Self-blame only fosters more shame. My kids heard me kick their dad out. It was difficult to process that it wasn't my fault. Trust me, you'll get to the other side. ✔️ Break the cycle of negative self-talk. No wonder our self-esteem is in the toilet. You're powerful enough to silence this pesky voice in your head. ✔️ Who cares what others think? You know yourself best. Being able to move on emotionally doesn't make you the villain. Say no to self-judgment. ✔️ Release the pain. Resentment is drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Don't allow yourself to rot. Choose to step into that world of forgiveness. ✔️ Move into your new life by practicing these: Self-love. Gratitude Self-compassion ✔️ You deserve to forgive yourself. Nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes. What matters is what you choose to do moving forward. -------------------- Connect with Wendy Sterling: Website: https://wendysterling.net/ Instagram: @divorcerehabwithwendy Twitter: @thedivorcerehab Facebook: @wendytsterling  Order a copy of Divorce Sucks.

A miscarriage, a huge Christmas Day fight, and the decision to make a change. Jen Riday was able to pivot and find her happiness as a married woman. Through her experience, she proves to us that if you're feeling stuck, divorce isn't always the answer. Maybe all you need is an intuitive hit and the mindfulness to create time for your self-care. Tune in to this episode on Choosing Your Happiness in Marriage with Jen Riday Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ All you need is five minutes. Yoga is Jen Riday's choice of grounding activity. If you're scared of starting a new activity, remember that all good things are on the other side of fear. Your brain (and even your partner) will thank you for it. ✔️ Expand time. The more you believe you have time, the more it's true. Cut out activities that don't serve you. For Jen Riday, it's social media and streaming, unless it's with family. ✔️ Accept your partner's differences. They don't always have to enjoy the same things you do. But their presence and energy must transform you and allow you to live unapologetically YOU. Give each other the grace to let them be who they want to be. ✔️ How happy are you willing to let yourself feel? Your happiness is your responsibility, and you get to create it. Think of ways to make today great, and allow yourself to do it! ✔️ Happiness is the greatest gift you can give. If you can do the things that make you feel truly alive, it's not a selfish act – it's everything you need to share your vibrancy with the world. -------------------- Dr. Jen Riday is the founder of the Vibrant Happy Women movement, host of the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast, and mom of 6.

This is a sign that it's time to make a change. Stop allowing the struggles and sorrows to steal more of your precious time. Acknowledge, feel, and release those difficult emotions, and you can finally leave them in the past where they belong.  Tune in to the ᴅɪᴠᴏʀᴄᴇᴅ ᴡᴏᴍᴀɴ'ꜱ ɢᴜɪᴅᴇ show — 3 Steps To Manage Your Emotions and Find Healthy Ways To Cope With Difficult Feelings. ✔️ Stop being so hard on yourself.  Here we are, beating ourselves up, often playing the Should Have game. Humans as we are, we never have the power to see how our marriages can fail, or we can end up getting divorced. When you speak like this to yourself, ask if you would ever talk that way to your child, a best friend, a family member, or a colleague. If you can be an encourager to others, why are you blaming when it comes to yourself?  ✔️ Release the pain.  If the pain's still not going away, what you're doing isn't working.

There is no way around it, divorce sucks, but what you choose to do after divorce matters. This week, best-selling author, Wendy Sterling joins Michelle Dempsey-Multack on Moms Moving On to jump into how you can find yourself after divorce. Wendy shares her very personal divorce story and what she learned about herself in the process. Michelle and Wendy take a deep dive into: Taking responsibility for the role you may have played in divorce Learning to stop people pleasing Loving and accepting all of you How to not live life on auto-pilot Rediscovering your identity and your voice AND MUCH MORE Wendy Sterling is the international best-selling author of Divorce Sucks, Now What?, a leading Divorce Empowerment Coach, and the founder of The Divorce Rehab™.

Setting up boundaries is incredibly important for having the co-parenting relationship work. Learning how to communicate with an ex to make decisions for the kids is a lifelong skill you will require to ensure you achieve the life you desire.  Tune in to the ᴅɪᴠᴏʀᴄᴇᴅ ᴡᴏᴍᴀɴ'ꜱ ɢᴜɪᴅᴇ show — Important Co-Parenting Boundaries You Need To Follow. ✔️ Refrain from badmouthing your co-parent.  As hard as it is, spurting negative things against our ex puts our children in the middle of our relationship with our co-parent, and that is not the place that our children want to be. What we need to do is put them in the center. That means keeping comments to yourself and separating your relationship with your co-parent from the ties they have with their dad or mom. ✔️ The communication that happens between our children and our co-parent is truly none of our business. How often have you been tempted to pick up the phone, open a text message or make that call and intervene in the children's relationship with your co-parent, especially if you don't agree with what is happening?  Undermining this could be devastating and put your child in an uncomfortable and potentially damaging situation. Be supportive by listening to your child, creating a safe space, and encouraging a healthy environment.  ✔️ Communicate with your co-parent in a businesslike manner.

As we creep toward the holidays, I want to talk about what makes life and relationships hard.Here's what has been hard for me in case you can relate:1-I'm going through a divorce with some not-easy-to-digest details. But unlike a friendship that isn't working, you can't walk away altogether from a relationship once you've procreated with the person, right? We have children and so we must co-exist while we disentangle. I can meditate 24 hours a day, but that doesn't change the fact that Divorce Sucks, plain and simple. And my divorce kinda sucks extra hard.  2- I was abused as a child, and no matter how much therapeutic work I do around that, a part of me is still angry about it. As goofy as it sounds, I've been waiting to be loved unconditionally by my mother and spoiler alert: It's not going to happen in this lifetime. I don't think about it all day but certain times…like now as I go through this divorce and really need my people to have my back…plus, with Thanksgiving coming up…it's been bubbling up for additional processing.3-Almost any Iranian you know is feeling a lot of feels right now because of the crisis in Iran. For me, I can explain it this way (and this is a very personal issue so I'm sure other Iranians would and could feel different feelings about it all). I spent my childhood being very ashamed of being Iranian: The way women were treated, the hostage crisis, the violence. And then when 9/11 happened, it opened that wound again. I was an Editor in Chief at CosmoGIRL! on 9/11 and I remember one of the Hearst Executives asked me if I felt any bigotry in the aftermath of the attacks as an Iranian and tbh, I kind of froze. I had spent my entire life trying to be as American as possible. He was asking out of genuine caring, which is so beautiful, but a part of me felt totally exposed as one of THEM. And of course, by THEM I meant a terrorist. An extremist. Because the regime change happened when I was a child, I didn't have the maturity or the intellect to really understand that this wasn't Iran. It was the religious regime. Just like we had a President in the US recently who didn't represent many of our views…except the regime in Iran is a dictatorship and as such much worse, more violent and extreme. (The Mullahs actually believe women are no different than farm animals and God made them look like man so man wouldn't be scared.) So, all these years of uncomfortable tightening around my cultural identity…it's all very exposed and tender now. And every person suffering, fighting, dying over there to have an ounce of what I enjoy so freely…I feel powerless to help them. And yet they are fighting on behalf of all Iranians: Fighting for Freedom vs. Fear.Freedom vs. FearThis is the same battle I have fought my entire life.Freedom versus Fear had been at the core of every conflict for me. Like, my fear keeps grasping for the mother who birthed me to have my back instead of leaning into the freedom to be my own mother. The fear of the choices my husband is making and how they may impact our children versus the freedom of letting him blaze his own path and accept that he is their father for better or worse and they will work through it, as I did with my own parents.Freedom versus Fear.And so, I've spent the last few weeks, working on another F- word. Forgiveness. I realized that when I'm gripped by the fear of letting go there is an absence of Forgiveness. I was having trouble forgiving my husband for his betrayals. Trouble forgiving my mother for her inability to be able to protect me. Even in Iran, today. Many Iranians would disagree with me but I feel I must forgive the Mullahs for taking our beautiful country and putting it behind bars. They have taken the stunning spiritual creativity of our people that created the greatest visionaries of all time like Rumi and Hafiz and putting them in boxes so they have to contort in the most cruel ways in order to be accepted. Did you know, for instance, a person can only be openly gay in Iran if they have gender reassignment surgery? We're talking about non-trans people who are having gender reassignment surgery so they can love who they love. And we're talking about generations of the most stunning women in the world who have had plastic surgery in droves to change their gorgeous ethnic noses because their faces are the only thing that's allowed to be seen in public. And all the deaths. The deaths before this uprising and the senseless deaths during. So much death has come out of this fear-based government. I marched yesterday in New York. The chants have gotten angrier since my first protest many weeks ago. It's not hard to understand why. So many children have been killed. So many beautiful souls lost and imprisoned.And yet…I'm talking about forgiveness. Right now, it's too soon for the people in Iran to forgive the Mullahs because so much blood is being shed. They are fighting for their lives.But it's not too soon for us to bring the energy of forgiveness into our lives. I recently found that forgiveness is the key to freedom. I guess I always knew that conceptually. I mean, obviously it makes sense. But I just couldn't quite pull it off. I now understand that your mind can do many incredible things, but this is deeper than the mind. Forgiveness is energetic which is kind of like our own form of magic.This practice will truly blow your mind.My beloved friend and teacher, healer Caitlin Marino introduced a few prayers to me that were created by her friend and mentor Cindy Mattingly. And when I tell you doing this practice every morning yielded massive insight and results within a week on the divorce and mother front, I'm not exaggerating. This is magic.Okay – so I do this declaration every morning multiple times in a row inserting a different name each time at the beginning – it could be anyone I am angry or upset with or locked in something with that isn't peaceful. I tend to do my mother, my sister, my husband, his girlfriend and my last boyfriend. Sometimes I add the cousins who molested me and their father. I had a few other people who I felt a smaller charge with who have dropped out of the rotation because I only really needed to do this once or twice with them and I am totally not triggered by them anymore.The Forgiveness DeclarationI fully and freely forgive _____________.I release him/her mentally and spiritually.I completely forgive everything connected to the situation.I am free and he/she is free.It is a marvelous feeling.I release anyone and anybody who has ever hurt me.I wish for each and everyone health, happiness, peace and all the blessings of life.I do this freely, joyously and lovingly.When I think of any of these people who have hurt me, I say “I have released you and all the blessings of life are yours.”I am free and you are free. It is wonderful.Then when I feel I've cycled through everyone I feel a negative charge with, I move onto this prayer.PrayerDear Source,I am sorry for any pain and suffering I have caused anyone in the past, present or future. I ask to be forgiven and I forgive myself for those deeds I do not recall. I ask now for the power of love and compassion and make that my new path of choice. I am grateful for all the blessings I have and will receive.Thank you, thank you, thank you.And there you have it. What more is there to say but those words. So grateful to Caitlin for knowing what I needed and sharing this with me and grateful to Cindy for writing and creating these beautiful practices. I have been doing them for a few weeks and it has shifted me in ways that I can't adequately describe because it's a felt energetic experience. I simply feel lighter. I was struggling about Thanksgiving coming up so much so that I had asked one of my best friends if we could spend it with her and her family instead. But with this practice, I was able to, from a place of freedom and choice, decide to go to my mother's like we do every year. Doing the same thing as years past but coming from freedom instead of fear.Tomorrow I will start doing the forgiveness practice with the Islamic regime in Iran. I need to begin to heal my own past with them while I support my brothers and sisters in Iran fighting. I can continue to amplify the voices and plight of those who are in the belly of the fire, but I am not in that fire. I can begin to heal and pray that in time, they will win their freedom and have the privilege of doing the same. Please amplify their voices and suffering on social media so these beautiful people can enjoy the same basic human rights we take for granted every day.I'm going to take some time off for the holidays so I can deepen my spiritual practices. I'm going on a 7-day silent retreat and will be processing all the things I listed above. Please take it easy on yourself, too. These are challenging times for everyone. I hope these two practices I shared will help you during our time apart as enormously as they have helped me. Wishing you and your family peace, freedom and love. Wishing that for all humans. I will see you in January. Please email me if you need me. I really am here, 24/7 at atoosa@atoosa.com.xo, atoosaSoundtrack of my

Divorce Sucks.. Sucks.. Sucks…. Divorce is not a favorite topic for me, it is an ugly word and a word we never talked about in my parents house when I was a kid. I never even knew anyone personally before I got married that went through a divorce. Now I know many people with divorces or as we say on the golf course “D’s” and it keeps growing by the day. I will go on record I am against Divorce unless it is a safety issue for them or their kids. Most Divorces seem to happen over one spouse cheating or money issues. WebMD said 2 out of 5 of first marriages will end in divorce after one spouse cheats. WF Lawyers said that almost 50% of marriages will end in divorce or separation when I was searching about money issues. From my time helping people with debt problems it sure seems like over 80% of those divorced said Money was the top reason for the divorce or one of the top reasons. Some references are listed below in the show notes if you like stats. I think people who may be on the fence about getting a Divorce may want to go see a counselor or pastor at church. Another good option would be seeing a marriage counselor or buying a set of Gary Smalley Relationship tapes. That is if your spouse will attend. My past ex went one time and then said it was just me that needed help. We had so much debt that even after selling our house we still had debt to divide up. Some more things to think about is from an article in Time Magazine. It had some stats like: Average first marriage 8 years Average second marriage is 6 years. I have heard that divorce rate is higher on 2nd marriages and even higher on 3rd marriages. Overall showed kids are more likely to be harmed by their parents getting divorced Average total household wealth of those ages 51 to 61 for married couples as $132,200. Those Divorced was $33,700 and Widowed was $42,300. It is cheaper to live in one household than two for sure. Judith Wallersteom on a book she wrote a book called “The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce” Said “Children from broken families tend to marry later, yet divorce more often than those from intact homes.

This week Rebecca Zung, one of the top 1% divorce attorneys in the nation, joins me to talk all about the subtleties of negotiating a divorce. I first met Rebecca, in-person, when recording an interview for Laura Wasser’s podcast, Divorce Sucks. It’s always such a welcomed opportunity whenever I get to meet guests I have on this podcast, in real life.  Ah, divorce negotiations. They can truly suck. How can you get through negotiations with your emotions in check? And also let go of overwhelming thoughts like, “They always get what they want,” or “I’ll never be able to ‘fight’ them for the house (or car or fill in the blank).”  Today, Rebecca walks us through some of the strategies she uses with her own clients to help them successfully negotiate divorce, like negotiating with a narcissist, creating leverage, and using empowering body language. When you can successfully negotiate divorce, you set yourself up for what you want in your divorce, for your children and for your life thereafter. It’s time to stop thinking you have no power at the negotiation table. You, and you alone, define your value. It all starts with you.  Show Highlights What to do when you feel your spouse and his lawyers are more powerful (7:01) Negotiating divorce starts with you, from the inside out (8:13) The divorce paradox: during the most traumatic part of your life, you have to make the toughest decisions (13:00) Dealing with the vulnerability of negotiations whereby you put a ‘value’ on how much you mattered to your spouse based on what you ‘get’ or don’t (15:00) Narcissistic personalities and how to navigate negotiations with them (17:00) Noone ever wins from being spiteful or pushing the buttons of your ex during the divorce process (19:00) Creating leverage in order to aid in you getting what you want (21:00) Passive and disempowering words and phrases, what they are and why you should not use them (24:00) Body language: powerful body language you can use and how to read body language to see if someone might be lying (25:00) Embedded commands, what they are and how you can use them in negotiations (27:48) Preparing for the negotiation process using Rebecca’s acronym M.A.T.T.E.R. (32:00) The different ways men and women keep their emotions in check (34:00) Learn More Rebecca Zung: Rebecca Zung is one of the Top 1% of divorce attorneys in the nation, having been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a “Best Lawyer in America”, as “Legal Elite” by Trend Magazine, and recognized by her peers and the judiciary as AV©, preeminent rated in family law, the highest possible rating for an attorney by Martindale Hubbell.  She is the author of the bestselling book Breaking Free: A Step-by-Step Divorce Guide for Achieving Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Freedom, and is a sought after major media contributor. Her perspectives are in high demand by television and print outlets, as she has been featured in or on Extra TV, Forbes, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time, Dr. Drew, NPR Talk Radio, Good Day New York and CBS Los Angeles among others.   Now, based in Los Angeles, she is continuing to serve the divorcing population through her keynote speeches on negotiation called “Have It Your Way: Successfully Negotiate What You Want in Life and Business”.

I think we were one of their very first clients, and it has truly been a life changer. They make proposals and contracts super easy to use on both our side and the client side. I think before Honeybook I would send proposals and contracts by email, and the client would have to mail the contract to us or fax it by efax. Proposals were in no way streamlined either, so this has made our lives so much better. As a consultant, whenever I sign up a vendor client, one of the very first recommendations I make is Honeybook. No need to complicate things – it works, it’s great…just get it. And if you follow this link, you get 50% off your first year of Honeybook, which is nice, but not nearly as nice as all the time you’re going to save.
