Back in 2013, the Obama administration endorsed an ad campaign that came to be derisively known as the “pajama boy” campaign. “Pajama boy” was actually an adult man who encouraged young adults to make the case for Obamacare over Thanksgiving dinner with their relatives. “Wear pajamas. Drink hot chocolate. Talk about getting health insurance.” was the tag line. Most people thought it was pretty silly and the image survives now as an online meme.In retrospect, “pajama boy” was actually a little bit sinister because it was symptomatic of a shift in the culture. While families have always fallen out over personal conflict, it is now increasingly common for relationships to break down over politics. This is directly downstream of a new expectation that confronting relatives about political disagreements at the family dinner table is not just acceptable, but actually virtuous.My guest today has written a book about the rise of family estrangement, and particularly of adult children going ‘no contact' with their parents. The proximate trigger for this new kind of divorce is often political: arguments about Trump, or Covid, or gender identity are common. But behind these individual conflicts, Noelle Mering argues, is a profound shift in our attitudes towards the family, and the mainstreaming of a troubling idea: that some members of our own families are expendable.Noelle Mering is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington D.C. and author of the new book ‘No Contact: How a Seductive Ideology Broke Families and Friendships and How We Can Repair Them.' She is also a wife and mother of six children. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Parenting a neurodivergent or special needs child already takes constant coordination and advocacy. When divorce enters the picture, Karen McMahon believes those needs don't get simpler, they become the center of every decision. In this episode, Karen sits down with Mary Ann Hughes, founder of Special Family Transitions and a certified special needs divorce coach, mediator, and co-parenting specialist. As the mother of sons on the autism spectrum, Mary Ann brings both lived experience and deep expertise to a conversation most divorce professionals aren't equipped to have. Together they cover five critical considerations for parents of autistic or special needs children going through divorce: managing the emotional overwhelm, understanding the language around autism and neurodiversity, hiring an attorney who truly understands your child's needs, protecting government benefits through first-party and third-party special needs trusts, and navigating high-conflict negotiations without losing sight of what your child actually needs. Mary Ann also shares how she helped her own kids process her divorce, and how that experience led her to co-author My Parents' Divorce Through My Eyes: Helping Children With Autism Understand Divorce. If you're parenting a neurodivergent child through divorce, this episode offers the strategy, language, and reassurance to help you protect your child's future, and your own.

Barry Strauss examines Mark Antony's critical "unforced error" of 33 BC: divorcing Octavia, Octavian's sister. This move provides Octavian with a massive propaganda victory, allowing him to frame Antony as having betrayed Rome for an Egyptian queen. Strauss explains the divorce was a "credible commitment" by Antony to show his Eastern supporters he was fully committed to the coming conflict. Despite advice from his experienced admiral, Ahenobarbus, to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony refuses because she controls the treasury and the Egyptian navy. While Antony may have preferred a campaign against Parthia, Octavian forces his hand by declaring war. Antony's decision to bring Cleopatra into the war effort is anathema to Romans, who view her as a foreign invader. This sets the stage for confrontation, with Octavian relying on the tactical genius of Marcus Agrippa. (4)

Lavar Ball Announces Wife DIVORCING Him After 30 Years Of Marriage | It's Not IF, It's WHEN by Greg Adams
Most men enter divorce feeling like a bad person. Shamed. Labeled. Often called a narcissist. This episode is for that man. Because the truth is, you are not broken. You are under-resourced. And there is a profound difference. In this solo episode, Karen McMahon speaks directly to the divorcing dad who is white-knuckling it through one of the hardest seasons of his life, carrying shame he didn't earn, fighting for children he loves deeply, and quietly wondering if he's going to make it through this. The answer is yes. And this episode shows you how. Karen addresses the emotional depth of men that nobody is acknowledging, the very real dangers that emerge when divorcing dads don't get support, and the brilliance... yes, brilliance... that becomes possible when they do. What you'll take away: 1. The truth about your emotional life You feel more than anyone has ever given you credit for. You've just never been given the tools, the language, or the permission to work with it. That changes here. 2. The stats that should stop us all cold Divorcing men are among the most at-risk demographics on the planet. The numbers are sobering. The silence around them is unacceptable. Karen names them, because someone has to. 3. Fight for your kids and your right to father them Her version of reality is not the truth. The courts are not automatically stacked against you. And keeping the peace at the expense of your presence is not protecting your children. It is costing them. Trust what you innately know they need from you. 4. Trust your instincts as a dad You parent differently than mom. That is not a weakness. It is exactly what your children need, and only you can give it. Karen shares a powerful story that will change how you see yourself as a father. 5. Roll up your sleeves The hard, vulnerable, and courageous work of healing your wounds and refining your character is not optional if you want to emerge from this as the man and father your children deserve. This episode shows you exactly where to begin. 6. Break the chain The generational patterns that quietly led you here, they stop with you. This painful season is your invitation to become the man who was always in there, waiting to be found. In this episode Karen also covers: Why men feel deeply and why nobody is talking about it The dangerous edge men reach when emotional capacity runs out Why caving and controlling are both driven by fear and what to do instead How to evict your ex from your mental space and reclaim your own thinking Why silence and boundaries do more heavy lifting than any argument ever will The Michelangelo principle and what it means for who you're becoming Why divorce is the most powerful doorway men walk through to do their inner work Resources mentioned in this episode:

Send us Fan MailDivorcing with kids is hard. Divorcing with eight kids can feel impossible. Jen sits down with Bubba Page for a real, practical conversation about how to separate and co-parent in a way that protects your children's emotional health, keeps routines steady, and lowers the temperature in the home even when your heart is breaking.We get into “nesting” during separation, where the kids stay in one home and the parents rotate in and out, plus what makes that work and why some families choose it to reduce transitions. Bubba also shares a clear rule that changes everything: no trash talk about the other parent in front of the kids. We talk about age-appropriate communication, why children should never carry adult emotions, and how playing the long game builds trust that lasts into adulthood.Then we go tactical: one-on-one time that actually fits real life, better questions that get kids talking, emotional check-ins that help them name what they feel, and simple connection rituals like sweet-sour-service at dinner and short nightly “tucking time.” We also cover the logistics side of co-parenting after divorce: week-on/week-off scheduling, carpools, hiring help when possible, and planning daily, weekly, and yearly so work and parenting don't collide nonstop.If you're navigating divorce, betrayal trauma, and co-parenting stress, hit play, share this with a friend who needs steadiness, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

Your past may explain where you've been, but it does not determine where God is taking you. In this powerful and timely message, Pastor Timothy Elder challenges believers to stop allowing yesterday's failures, disappointments, hurts, and regrets to dictate today's decisions. Too often we become bound by what was, missing what God is doing right now. But God is calling His people to release the weight of the past, fix their eyes on Him, and move forward with faith and confidence. www.kingdomrock.org

When people think about divorce, they often assume they can just "choose" an uncontested process. But what most people don't realize is that uncontested divorce requires more than goodwill — it requires preparation, financial transparency, and a clear understanding of your legal rights. Without that foundation, the most well-intentioned divorces can quickly become expensive, adversarial, and emotionally devastating. In this episode of We Chat Divorce, hosts Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan are joined by Renee Turner, family and matrimonial attorney and founder of Thoughtful Lawyering in New York. Renee draws on more than 13 years of legal experience to walk listeners through what uncontested and contested divorce actually mean — not just in theory, but in practice. From financial disclosure requirements and New York's maintenance cap to prenuptial agreements and co-parenting dynamics, this conversation covers the legal landscape that every divorcing person needs to understand. Catherine brings in the financial preparation angle, explaining how the MDS Financial Portrait gives clients the verified financial clarity they need to confidently enter — or switch out of — an uncontested process. Together with Renee, Karen and Catherine reinforce one of the most empowering messages in divorce: you are the employer. Your legal and financial professionals work for you. In This Episode The legal definition of uncontested vs. contested divorce in New York Why the court system's scheduling creates delays — and how the uncontested process avoids them What a marital settlement agreement is and when it's negotiated New York's maintenance cap and how lifestyle analysis can change the final number Financial disclosure in uncontested divorce: what is required, what can be waived, and what you're risking by waiving it The myth of "I know what we have" — why most clients discover gaps once the process starts How to switch from uncontested to contested (and back) — and when it makes sense Why you should never sign any document without fully understanding it How the uncontested process protects children from courtroom involvement What it means to be the employer of your attorney — and why asking questions is your right Key Takeaways Uncontested divorce requires agreement on all major issues: property, custody, support, and maintenance — without a judge deciding for you. You can always switch from uncontested to contested if you feel your rights are not protected. Don't let fear of "starting over" trap you. Financial preparation — verified, document-supported clarity about what you have — is what makes uncontested divorce truly safe and successful. New York's maintenance cap is not the final word. Lifestyle analysis and standard of living can support amounts above the cap. Never waive financial disclosure without knowing exactly what you're giving up — and having documentation to support that decision. You are the employer of every professional you hire during your divorce. Question everything. Ask for clarity. Take the time you need. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz kick off the summer months with a new installment of the Critics at Large advice series. Listeners' questions run the gamut: a high-school economics teacher seeks films for his students which aren't set in the world of finance; a caller from Iran looks for cultural works to help endure periods of extreme uncertainty; and two friends on the cusp of college graduation ask for recommendations to guide them in their next chapter. “Art is not a thing separate from our troubles or from our awareness of the insane contingencies of life,” Cunningham says. “It's meant as a companion and a response to those. I think that's shining through in some of these questions.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sorry to Bother You” (2018)“My Architect: A Son's Journey” (2003)“Les dites cariatides” (1984)“Twenty Minutes in Manhattan,” by Michael SorkinThe photography of Eugène AtgetThe music of the Notorious B.I.G., Heavy D, Fat Joe, and Big Pun“Sentimental Education,” by Gustave FlaubertVáclav Havel's “Audience”“The Best of Everything,” by Rona Jaffe“How to Murder Your Life,” by Cat Marnell“Becoming a Centenarian,” by Calvin Tomkins (The New Yorker)“This Old Man,” by Roger Angell (The New Yorker)“Tabula Rasa,” by John McPhee (The New Yorker)“Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979)“Divorcing,” by Susan TaubesElena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels“Ghost World,” by Daniel Clowes“Frances Ha” (2012)“Asparagus” (1979)Roger Payne's “Songs of the Humpback Whale”“Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction,” by J.

Send Jackie A Message!Every summer, studio owners brace for the same thing: attendance drops, members travel, energy shifts. So you white-knuckle through it and wait for September.Here's the problem—summer isn't your slow season. It's your setup quarter. What you do in your yoga or Pilates studio in June determines whether your fall is full of momentum or a slow climb back from a standstill.In this solo episode, Jackie Murphy breaks down the misconception costing studio owners money: that when attendance drops, revenue has to drop too. It doesn't. She explains how a premium value offer can make summer one of your highest-revenue months, the schedule analysis every owner should run before the season, and the pause policy that keeps members coming back. If you've been treating summer as something to survive, this will change how you run your studio this quarter—and set up your strongest January yet.TIMESTAMPED OUTLINE[00:00] Why we're talking about summer now[03:00] Summer is your setup quarter: June 2026 decides January 2027[05:00] The misconception: attendance drops, so revenue must too[07:00] The Premium Value Offer (PVO) and why summer is the time to sell it[09:30] Divorcing attendance from revenue in your head[11:00] Move #1: Run a schedule analysis on your real data[13:30] Knowing your break-even number for every class[16:00] Move #2: Tighten your pause policy[17:30] Pick one move and actually implement itKEY TAKEAWAYS✓ Summer is your setup quarter—June 2026 determines January 2027.✓ Attendance and revenue are not the same thing. Attendance can drop while revenue grows.✓ A premium value offer (four figures+) grows summer revenue even when class numbers dip.✓ Don't wait for attendance to drop and react—run a schedule analysis on your own data now.✓ Booking software isn't always accurate. You usually have to collect the data yourself.✓ A leaner, fuller schedule beats a robust, half-empty one—for your bottom line and your students.✓ Lock in every pause with a start, end, and restart date from day one so members come right back.✓ Pick one move and implement it. If you listen and don't take action, what's the point?QUOTES"Summer is actually your setup quarter." "What you're doing in June of 2026 determines what your January of 2027 looks like." "Attendance and revenue are not the same thing. Summer is when that distinction matters most." "Just because attendance drops doesn't mean your revenue has to." "It can be your highest month of the whole year, and attendance could be the lowest." "If you just listen to this and don't take action, what's the point, my friend?"FAQCan my studio revenue grow even if summer attendance drops? Yes. Attendance and revenue are two different numbers. With the right offer in place, summer can be one of your highest-revenue months even while attendance is at its lowest.What is a premium value offer for a yoga or Pilates studio? A PVO is something outside your normal membership, typically four figures or higher, designed to help members reach a new result—often a teacher training, but not always.Why is summer a good time to sell a high-ticket offer? Members often have more time and headspace in summer. If they're sticking with you through the season, that's when you have the capacity to extend a bigger offer.Should I change my class schedule for the summer? Be proactive, not reactive. Review your schedule at the start of summer using the last six months of data, then make strategic adjustments instead of scrambling later.How should a studio handle membership pauses over summer? Set a clear start, end, and restart date the moment a member requests a pause. Booking the restart from day one removes the "should I come back?" decision.When should I start planning my summer strategy? Now. Your schedule, offers, and pause policy heading into summer determine your fall momentum and your following January.Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficial3 Marketing Mistakes Yoga & Pilates Business Owners Make: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/evergreen-3mm-organicJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo

One run-in with your ex, one hard kid drop-off, or one “perfect life” scroll on Instagram and suddenly your mind is building a case that you're behind, broken, or failing. I'm Karin Nelson, a divorce coach, and I want to slow that moment down with you and show you what's actually happening so you can stop treating the comparison as proof that there's something wrong with you.We start by naming the comparison trap and why it's so common for divorcing and divorced women. Your brain is wired to compare for safety, and divorce flips so many parts of life at once that your mind goes into overdrive trying to restore certainty. The problem isn't that you compare. The problem is the harsh meaning you pile on top of it and how your brain cherry-picks “evidence” to support the story you already fear. Then I give you five practical steps you can use the next time comparison shows up. I also talk about the standards you've been handed by culture, religion, and media and how freedom starts when you decide what happiness, success, and family mean for you now.If you're ready to stop measuring your worth by someone else's scoreboard, hit play, share this with a friend who needs it, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

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

Whether your spouse is an attorney, business owner, CEO, doctor, or high-income professional, many people enter divorce already convinced they are going to lose.But here's the truth: powerful does not mean invincible.

In this episode of Experts Unleashed, I sit down with Chris Chen from insightfinancialstrategists.com to explore what financial planning actually looks like when life falls apart. We talk about why regular financial planning is about applying the rules — and divorce financial planning is about applying the exceptions, how Chris went from economics dreams and a tech career to building a fee-only advisory practice dedicated entirely to women navigating divorce, and why most women wish they had found him before the divorce even started. I also share insights on the three financial questions every divorcing woman must answer, why wanting to keep the house is often the worst financial decision, and what knowledge truly does for someone in the middle of an emotional maelstrom. Plus, we get into RSUs, stock options, the 401k exception almost no one knows about, and why we're not in the money business at all — we're in the people business.
The conflict reached a turning point in 33 BC when Antony committed what Strauss calls an "unforced error" by divorcing Octavia. This provided Octavian with a "propaganda bonanza," allowing him to frame the coming war not as a civil struggle, but as a crusade to save Rome from an Egyptian queen. Antony viewed the divorce as a "credible commitment" to his Eastern supporters, showing he would never compromise with Octavian. Despite warnings from generals like Ahenobarbus to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony kept her and her treasury close, further fueling Octavian's narrative that Antony had been "unmanned." Octavian strategically declared war on Cleopatra rather than Antony to maintain the moral high ground. Strauss notes that Octavian even mocked Antony's identification with Dionysus, portraying him as a simple drunk rather than a new Alexander. This battle of optics and ideology paved the road to the decisive confrontation at Actium. (4/8)80 BCE SULLA
Gray divorce is on the rise, and many investors are missing a key opportunity: Social Security benefits tied to an ex-spouse. Richard rosso & Jonathan McCarty explain how divorced spousal benefits work, including eligibility rules, timing decisions, and how much you may be able to claim. If you were married at least 10 years, you could receive up to 50 percent of your ex-spouse's benefit, or even more through survivor benefits, without impacting their payout.

4. Antony commits a fatal "unforced error" by divorcing Octavia in 33 BC. Octavian exploits this for propaganda, framing Antony as a traitor who abandoned his Roman wife for an Egyptian queen. Antony views the divorce as a "credible commitment" to show his supporters he will never compromise with Octavian. Despite warnings from generals like Ahenobarbus to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony keeps her and her treasury close for the coming conflict. This allow Octavian to present the war not as a civil struggle, but as a crusade to save Rome from "un-Roman" Eastern influences. (4)
