Why 75% of Marriages That Start as Affairs End in Divorce. Does an affair ever actually lead to a "happily ever after"? The data says probably not. In this video, self-aware narcissist Lee Hammock breaks down the grim statistics of relationships that start through betrayal.While it may feel like "destiny" in the beginning, the transition from a secret affair to a legal marriage is a psychological minefield.

Charity Beallis and her six-year-old twins were found shot to death December 3rd in Bonanza, Arkansas. Two months later, no arrest. Charity's father says he viewed her body and she was shot twice—chest and forehead. If accurate, that eliminates suicide. So what's taking so long?The timeline speaks for itself. Divorce finalized December 2nd. Joint custody awarded. Twins scheduled to return to Randall Beallis December 5th. One day before that transfer, Charity and the children were dead.Defense attorney Eric Faddis analyzes what's likely happening behind the scenes and what legal thresholds investigators might be trying to meet.The documented history is extensive. Randall was arrested February 2025 for allegedly choking Charity in front of their children. Charges were reduced to a misdemeanor. Child maltreatment was substantiated for both twins in July. His attorney says he's cooperating and was not responsible for the deaths.Then there's 2012. Randall's second wife Shawna was found dead with a gunshot wound to the forehead. Ruled suicide. The case was reopened in 2021 after statements to police, then closed because evidence had been destroyed by court order. Faddis explains what happens when a defendant has a prior death in their history that mirrors the current case.Three days after the bodies were found, investigators discovered family photos, children's artwork, and a necklace with the twins' names in a dumpster at an address connected to Randall through court records. No comment from law enforcement.Two months of silence. A mother reportedly shot twice. Two children dead. A custody battle that ended the day before the murders. A prior wife dead under strikingly similar circumstances.Eric Faddis breaks down what investigators need to make an arrest—and what defense attorneys are likely preparing.#CharityBeallis #BeallisTwins #RandallBeallis #BonanzaArkansas #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #EricFaddis #DomesticViolence #TripleHomicide #ArkansasCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 It's been two months since Charity Beallis and her twins were found dead in Bonanza, Arkansas. No arrest. No charges. Charity's father told Hidden Killers he saw her body—shot twice, chest and forehead. If his account is accurate, suicide isn't a plausible explanation.The timing is impossible to ignore. Divorce finalized December 2nd. Joint custody granted. Children to return to Randall Beallis December 5th. Bodies discovered December 3rd.Defense attorney Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers Live to examine what this silence from investigators typically means, what evidence they might still be gathering, and what legal strategy emerges when a defendant has the documented history Randall Beallis has.That history includes a February 2025 arrest for allegedly choking Charity in front of their children. Felony charges reduced to misdemeanor. Child maltreatment substantiated for both twins in July. His attorney maintains he's cooperating and was not responsible.The history goes back further. In 2012, Randall's second wife Shawna was found dead with a gunshot wound to the forehead. Ruled suicide. Reopened in 2021 after police received statements. Closed again—evidence destroyed by court order in 2014.Physical evidence surfaced quickly. Three days after the bodies were found, family photos and a necklace bearing the twins' names were discovered in a dumpster at an apartment complex tied to Randall through court documents. Investigators have declined to comment.Two shots. Two months. No arrest. A prior wife's death under similar circumstances. A custody timeline that reads like a countdown.Faddis walks through what prosecutors need to bring charges, what defense attorneys prepare when their client has this kind of documented past, and what the person responsible for these deaths should be thinking right now.#CharityBeallis #BeallisTwins #RandallBeallis #ArkansasCrime #EricFaddis #HiddenKillersLive #TrueCrime #DomesticViolence #TripleHomicide #ColdCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Untying the Knot, Supporting Women through Divorce and BeyondThe "Divorce Tsunami" hits every January, but navigating the end of a marriage doesn't have to drain your life savings. Most people assume they need to drop a $5,000+ retainer on an attorney just to get started but there is a more affordable, empowered way to move forward.​​​In this episode of Untying the Knot, Katie sits down with Tamara Apodaca, a Certified Legal Document Preparer, to provide a roadmap for navigating the legal system without astronomical fees.​​​We explore how legal document prep offers a low-cost alternative to $8,000 retainers, how to avoid "Default" filing mistakes that cause judges to reject paperwork, the truth about community property, and how to build a parenting plan that protects your kids for the long haul.​​​Divorce is heavy, but the paperwork doesn't have to be.

Divorce can become significantly more complicated when culture, immigration status, or international law are part of the equation. I'm joined by family law attorney Diana Romanov for a conversation about what happens when divorce crosses cultural and international lines.  Diana brings a rare perspective to this work, shaped by her own immigration journey, her legal training, and practice across multiple countries. Together, we unpack how jurisdiction is determined when spouses live in different countries, how cultural norms shape power and decision-making in divorce, and why custody battles often look very different when one parent has been the primary caregiver for most of the marriage. We also dig into the realities of international relocation with children and how courts decide who can move, who can't, and why. At its core, this is about understanding how power, protection, and parenting are negotiated when the rules are shaped by more than one system. What you'll hear about in this episode: How Diana's international background and lived experience as an immigrant informs the way she practices family law and advocates for clients across cultural lines (2:06) What "jurisdiction" really means in international and cross-border divorce (5:00) How cultural norms around gender roles, finances, and marriage can deeply impact the divorce process (11:05) Strategic realities behind custody negotiations, including when equal timeshare is about optics or money rather than actual parenting (13:08) How international and long-distance custody and relocation cases are evaluated, including the factors courts use to decide whether a parent can move with children (24:46) What parents need to understand about documentation, communication, and evidence in high-conflict and cross-border cases (34:40) ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

Today on The D Shift, host Mardi Winder welcomes Robyn Vogel, a psychotherapist, trauma-informed love and intimacy coach, and founder of Come Back to Love. They dive into the essential topic of healing, intimacy, and moving forward after divorce.This conversation explores what it truly means to be trauma-informed, moving beyond the buzzword to a compassionate and respectful approach to healing. Robyn brings her own personal story of childhood trauma, profound loss, and years of self-discovery, offering a vulnerable look at how early experiences can unconsciously affect our relationships, particularly when it comes to love, attachment, and intimacy. Through her work, Robyn combines psychotherapy, coaching, and multifaceted healing techniques, encouraging listeners to acknowledge and gently work with the hurt parts of themselves instead of pushing them away.Throughout the episode, Mardi and Robyn discuss how repeating relationship patterns can be a window to healing, the importance of personal responsibility and self-awareness, and the challenges of recognizing red flags in intimacy, especially following the end of a significant partnership. They also touch upon societal messages that encourage us to "suck it up," and how these can hinder true healing.Listeners are invited to reflect on their relationship patterns, learn how to embrace their unique healing journey, and view difficult experiences as a gateway to transformation. Robyn Vogel shares her free journal and previews her upcoming book, "Come Back to Love: A Path to Healing," providing practical resources for anyone looking to step into a more joyful and connected life after divorce.About the Guest:MEET ROBYN VOGEL, YOUR TRAUMA-INFORMED LOVE AND INTIMACY COACH Recognized as one of the top teachers of the Heart in her community, Robyn Vogel, founder of Come Back To Love® is known for providing trauma-informed, heart-centered solutions that are designed to ignite a sense of love, expand the spirit, and heal the past.

Marriage is arguably the most sanctifying relationship on the planet. Just consider the following questions:Why is it that we tend to think our spouse is out to get us? Why do we assume the worst about him / her? What causes us to get so defensive? Why do we get so offensive in our reactions? Are the offenses we carry worth it? Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect, joins us to talk about the lightbulb moments he discovered in 20 years of helping men and women stop living in their crazy cycle. What is the crazy cycle? Consider this: “Without love she reacts without respect. Without respect he reacts without love.” But what's more, Dr. Eggerichs discovered that “without love, defensively she reacts offensively without respect. And without respect, defensively he reacts offensively without love.” In this episode, Dr. Eggerichs shares the way out of the cycle through principles like “80/20” and “Seeing God over your spouse's shoulder.” With many incredible convicting and encouraging insights, this is an episode we hope brings your marriage closer together. Time Stamps:0:00 Dr. Emerson Eggerichs joins the show2:31 Where Love and Respect and the crazy cycle began8:21 How to interpret the crazy cycle in your relationship19:40 The ah-ha moment of 80/20 and the lens from which we view our spouse27:08 Looking at God over the spouse of your shoulder29:32 Your marriage within the Kingdom of God34:45 Victimhood, offense, and finding freedom in Christ44:44 Being offended by God and the power of a forgiving spirit48:55 The 2 degree shift that can change your marriage52:45 How to get your husband to pray with you Show Notes:Get Light Bulb Moments in Marriage by Emerson Eggerichshttps://amzn.to/4t9WAfP Get Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichshttps://amzn.to/4kiuAmg Interested in our 8-week Love Your Marriage Cohort?

No one prepares you for this.

What happens when you stop asking for permission in an abusive marriage?Today, Jillian shares her story of waking up to covert abuse in her Christian marriage and what it took to finally get out.You'll hear how she recognized the patterns, why she chose to leave despite having a young son, and what life looks like now on the other side. If you've been wondering whether things could actually be different, this conversation will show you what's possible when you start rescuing yourself.

Morgan's husband told her she ruined his life and threatened divorce constantly. He'd rant for hours about how much he hated her. When he sought help, he was put in a mental health institution and came back with trauma. Morgan watched him cycle through seven jobs in a year while the bills piled up unpaid. She was drowning in debt, absorbing the verbal abuse, and making every decision for a family that was falling apart. Finally, she packed up the kids and left. Her friends and family warned her not to go back. Everyone was betting against them. But Morgan chose to trust him even when she didn't know how it would work out.  Today, her daughter can tell when mom's on the phone with dad because she's laughing so much. The husband who couldn't hold down a job now steadily provides for their growing family. Their home is a blissful sanctuary packing more fun into a weekend than most people have in a month. The marriage she thought impossible is now her everyday reality. If the threat of divorce has left you drained, anxious, and questioning yourself, Morgan's story will feel like a map through that storm.

In this episode, host Mardi Winder welcomes renowned master addiction counselor Amber Hollingsworth, the founder of the Hope for Families Recovery Center and creator of the "Put the Shovel Down" YouTube channel, for a powerful and honest conversation about one of the most sensitive and challenging issues that can affect a marriage: addiction.Together, Mardi and Amber tackle the real-life complexities that arise when addiction becomes an unwelcome guest in the family. Amber shares her personal and professional journey, describing how growing up in an addicted family shaped her understanding of these patterns, and how she uses this insight to guide others through the storm. This episode goes beyond the textbook treatment model, revealing the emotional rollercoaster faced by supportive partners: the exhaustion of trying to "parent" your spouse, the guilt that seems unavoidable whether you stay or leave, and the deep changes you undergo as you try to hold everything together.Listeners will hear candid advice on recognizing when an environment has become unsafe, setting healthy boundaries, and resisting the urge to make your children confidants in adult struggles. Amber introduces new concepts like "guiltzentiment", the toxic blend of guilt and resentment many non-addicted partners experience, and emphasizes the critical importance of self-care and reclaiming time for yourself, even when it feels impossible.Whether you're considering leaving an addicted spouse, struggling with the impacts on your kids, or just searching for understanding and next steps, this episode provides valuable, actionable strategies and reassurance that your needs matter too. It's an honest, compassionate look at the real issues behind addiction and divorce, and a reminder that hope, recovery, and self-respect are within reach.About the Guest:Amber Hollingsworth is a master addiction counselor, founder of Hope For Families Recovery Center, and creator of the YouTube channel Put The Shovel Down.

Is the real crisis today economic — or architectural? In this episode, we challenge the idea that loneliness and despair come from a broken ladder of upward mobility. What if the problem isn't that we can't climb… but that we were taught to measure our worth by climbing in the first place? Drawing from Middlemarch, modern work culture, and personal experience, this conversation explores why craftsmanship, authorship, and daily building may be the antidote to vertical despair.In this episode:Why the “career ladder” mindset fuels anxiety and comparisonThe difference between climbing and buildingHow craftsmanship creates internal pride (and hunger)What Lydgate's crisis in Middlemarch teaches us about collapsed ambitionWhy being seen — not promoted — can save a lifeThe power of asking: “Am I actually in danger right now?”Moving from passive consumption to generative actionHow to build meaning even when the system feels unstable

Gray divorce is one of the fastest-growing divorce trends, yet it remains one of the least talked about experiences. It is not just the end of a marriage. It is the unraveling of decades of shared life, identity, routines, and expectations. In this episode, Susan Guthrie is joined by gray divorce coach Maryjane Sweet for a deeply moving conversation about what it truly takes to navigate this transition with intention, emotional awareness, and integrity. Susan and Maryjane explore why gray divorce can feel so destabilizing, especially when it arrives unexpectedly, and how the loss extends far beyond the marriage itself. They talk about grief, identity shifts, nervous system overwhelm, and the invisible emotional labor women carry as they try to hold themselves and their families together during profound change. What You'll Learn Why gray divorce is not just a legal ending, but a profound emotional and identity shift after decades of shared life Why rituals around loss, such as leaving a family home or removing wedding rings, help create closure and support healing How daily anchors like sleep, nourishment, movement, and connection are essential tools during divorce Why adult children are deeply impacted by gray divorce and how parents can model integrity, resilience, and self-compassion How focusing on how you want to feel can help guide decisions when the future feels like a black hole Why coaching support can be critical during gray divorce and how it helps women move forward without getting stuck in the past About the Guest  Maryjane is a gray divorce coach and consultant. She combines the lived experience of ending a 26-year marriage with deep professional training to help women navigate the emotional and practical complexities of gray divorce. She holds a master's in Organizational Behavior and is an !CF-certified PCC coach with over 1,500 client hours worldwide. She's trained in mindfulness and meditation through Duke University, is a certified trauma-informed yoga instructor, and has taught university courses on well-being and neuroscience-based stress regulation. With more than twenty years in leadership development and human transformation, she offers women a grounded, evidence-based pathway through midlife divorce - one that honors both the unraveling and the rising.

Trusts are often described as “bulletproof” in divorce—but that assumption can be misleading. In this episode of Divorce at Altitude, co-host Ryan Kalamaya is joined by associate attorney Makenzie Ralston to discuss how discretionary trusts are treated in a Colorado divorce.Ryan and McKenzie explain when a trust may truly be protected, when it can be considered property, and when it may still affect property division, spousal maintenance, or child support—even if it is not divisible. Using common divorce scenarios and Colorado case law, they break down how trust language, trustee discretion, and distribution history can dramatically impact divorce outcomes.Guest Information: McKenzie RalstonMcKenzie Ralston is an associate attorney at Kalamaya | Goscha with a background in estate planning and tax law. She earned her law degree and Master of Laws in Taxation from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and focuses on the intersection of trusts, estate planning, and domestic relations.Episode OutlineWhat Is a Discretionary Trust?An overview of trust roles—settlor, trustee, and beneficiary—and how discretionary distribution standards such as health, education, maintenance, and support operate.Revocable vs. Irrevocable TrustsWhy revocable trusts generally are not property interests for beneficiaries, how irrevocable trusts differ, and when a trust may become relevant in divorce proceedings.Colorado Case Law on TrustsA discussion of In re Marriage of Jones and In re Marriage of Balanson, and how courts analyze enforceable rights versus discretionary interests.Economic Circumstances vs. PropertyHow a trust may not be property—but still influence property division as an economic circumstance in a divorce.Trustee Control and Distribution PatternsWhy consistent distributions, beneficiary control, and trustee appointment powers can undermine claims that a trust is fully discretionary.Trust Distributions as IncomeHow regular and dependable trust distributions may be included as gross income for spousal maintenance and child support calculations.Drafting Trusts With Divorce in MindHow thoughtful trust drafting—spendthrift provisions, independent trustees, divorce-triggered protections, and prenuptial requirements—can provWhat is Divorce at Altitude?

Divorce doesn't just end a marriage—it can shatter a man's identity, confidence, and sense of direction. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with my close friend Ryan Michler, founder of Order of Man, to talk openly about what it really looks like to navigate divorce as a man—and come out stronger on the other side.   Ryan shares his personal experience of being divorced for nearly three years, including the identity loss men feel when they're no longer husbands or full-time dads, the mistakes many men make by orienting their lives around their ex, and why healing starts when you make yourself the project. We also dive into rebuilding relationships with kids, handling co-parenting with integrity, resisting isolation, and why brotherhood is non-negotiable in seasons of separation. If you're divorced, separated, or supporting a man who is—this episode is required listening.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why this episode is for divorced and separated dads [2:35] Introducing Ryan Michler and his journey through divorce [3:37] Losing identity as a husband and father after divorce [4:59] Feeling like "less of a man" after separation [6:02] Why orienting your life around your ex is a mistake [7:21] Making yourself the project after divorce [9:01] Isolation, vices, and the danger of being alone too much [10:45] Why brotherhood accelerates healing [12:15] Journaling, self-regulation, and daily discipline [14:06] Rebuilding physical health and confidence [15:32] Redefining masculinity and self-worth [17:15] Being honest—but appropriate—with kids about divorce [19:02] Staying present in your kids' lives beyond "your time" [21:11] Customizing connection with each child [23:23] Never giving up on estranged relationships [25:08] Civility, boundaries, and co-parenting with integrity [29:02] Why consistency matters more than outcomes [31:22] Divorce Not Death program overview [34:40] The Men's Forge experience and why it's different [38:15] Bringing sons to Men's Forge and legacy building [41:41] What boys learn by watching their fathers lead [45:54] Final encouragement for men navigating divorce     Five Key Takeaways Divorce shakes a man's identity, but it doesn't have to define his future.  Healing begins when men stop orienting around their ex and start orienting around growth.  Isolation amplifies pain, while brotherhood shortens the recovery curve.  Consistency and integrity rebuild trust with kids, even when relationships feel strained.  Men who make themselves the project come out stronger, healthier, and more grounded.      Links & Resources Men's Forge Event: https://themensforge.com Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/preview 1st Phorm Dad Edge Challenge: https://1stphorm.com/dadedge Divorce Not Death Program: https://divorcenotdeath.com Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1433     Closing Remark If this episode spoke to where you're at—or where you've been—please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

These Border Patrol raids deep in our cities are nothing but a massive beta test for the AI surveillance grid, with feds wearing Meta glasses that snap your face, ID you instantly, and feed you into kill lists just like they did to Alex Pretti before they executed him on camera. Erika Kirk wants you to buy her grieving trad-wife act, but the receipts don't lie—she's a documented pathological liar who faked her entire backstory, hid ex-fiancés and wild reality-TV hookups, invented a single-mom sob story, and buried inconvenient family members while pretending to be some pure Christian conservative princess.

Rushing a divorce can cost you money, leverage, and peace—especially if you're dating, listening to family “advice,” or skipping the right experts. In this episode, Morgan Stogsdill and Andrea Rappaport break down the most common divorce regrets and the smart, strategic moves to avoid them.In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, Morgan and Andrea unpack the most common divorce regrets they see over and over again: the ones that quietly cost you money, complicate custody, drag out the process, and make you look back thinking… why did I do that?Get real divorce advice your lawyer may be too polite to share.

That's how people sign agreements with missing details, outdated account values, or unclear parenting language—then regret it later.Do this instead: Ask your attorney if your timeline is realistic, and if it is—map the steps from A to Z.2) Don't bring your new relationship into your divorce chaosYour new person may mean well, but they are not your lawyer—and emotionally, it can start poisoning the relationship fast.Do this instead: Process the divorce with your therapist, your support system, and your attorney—not your new partner.3) Don't let non-lawyers steer legal decisionsEven smart, loving parents can unintentionally derail the strategy—especially when they aren't in the day-to-day “trenches” of your case.Do

In today’s episode, Becket Cook sits down with Jay Dios, who shares his powerful testimony of growing up in a conservative Christian home, struggling with pornography and same-sex attraction from a young age, entering a same-sex marriage, and ultimately experiencing a radical transformation through Jesus Christ. Jay opens up about deconstructing his faith, embracing affirming theology, reading God and the Gay Christian, and even meeting Matthew Vines in person—before God revealed the truth that led him to repentance, freedom, and surrender. Jay explains what ultimately compelled him to divorce his husband, how Scripture reclaimed authority in his life, and why faithfulness to God—not identity or desire—became the turning point. Now rooted at Passion City Church, Jay reflects on obedience, contentment, sanctification, and living for eternity rather than cultural approval. This conversation is for anyone wrestling with faith and sexuality, confused by affirming theology, or seeking clarity on biblical truth, repentance, and redemption through Jesus Christ.

In this episode of Lovers, Higher Learning host and former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay shares the deeply personal story of what it was like to experience intimacy both sexually and emotionally for the first time after divorce. After nearly a decade of being with only one partner, that she met while being the Bachelorette, Rachel walks us through the fears, emotions, and expectations she carried into that moment, from questions of safety and vulnerability to the quiet pressure of “doing it right” after such a long chapter had closed. She reflects on what that experience taught her about trust, desire, and emotional presence, and how those lessons reshaped her understanding of intimacy moving forward. Though she isn’t with the person from that first post-divorce experience, Rachel shares why she remains grateful for what it revealed about her needs, her boundaries, and her capacity for connection. She also opens up about how those insights are influencing the relationship she’s in today, offering a grounded, honest look at what intimacy can become after loss, change, and reinvention.
