This week, Rebecca sits down with Sarah Armstrong, Google's Vice President of Global Marketing Operations and the powerhouse author of The Art of the Juggling Act: A Bite-Sized Guide for Working Parents and The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce. With warmth, wisdom, and lived experience, Sarah shares practical, real-world strategies to help working parents balance work, family, and self-care—without chasing perfection. ✨ In this empowering episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why “balance” is an ebb and flow, not a fixed state ✅ The secret power of the compartmentalization muscle ✅ How to set and protect boundaries—and why you must communicate them ✅ How “Grace Time” changed her parenting—and can inspire yours ✅ The genius of the three piggy banks: Spend. Save. Give. ✅ Why volunteering doesn't mean doing everything—just do one thing well ✅ Simple self-care reframed as a non-negotiable recharge Quote from Sarah: “Balance is different for everyone—we all have to define what it looks like for us.

In this episode, we discuss: Concept of a Good Divorce Parenting and Communication Post-Divorce Introduction of New Partners Maintaining Healthy Boundaries Nacho Kids Academy Success Stories: I Thought Divorce Was the Only Option "I thought my marriage was doomed. My wife and I couldn't agree on anything when it came to her kids. Every argument ended with one of us saying, ‘Maybe this just isn't going to work.' Then we found Nacho Kids. I realized that my role wasn't to discipline or fix anything - it was to support my wife as she parents her kids. The shift in our home was almost instant. The tension disappeared. The kids were happier, my wife wasn't stuck in the middle, and I could actually enjoy being in my own home again. If we hadn't found Nacho Kids, we wouldn't be together today. It's that simple.” - Mike R., Virginia, USA

When it comes to getting divorced in Ireland, many couples end up going through the Irish courts to settle their separation agreements. This process often involves one side battling against the other and can, in some cases, take years to finalise, costing anywhere from twenty to sixty thousand euros. According to divorce expert and author Michelle Browne, there is an easier, cheaper, and less adversarial way to divorce: mediation. In her new book, Scars of Divorce, Browne outlines the devastating and traumatic effects of settling a divorce in the courtroom and explains how her own personal experience inspired her to study law and eventually become a family mediator. In this conversation with Róisín Ingle, Browne details the benefits of mediation, talks through the pitfalls of parenting through divorce and explains “how to get your mojo back” after a marriage breakdown.

My guest is the fabulous second curver Sarah Armstrong, a trailblazing businesswoman and author of the book "The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce: What to Think Through When There Are Children Involved".    Like many couples, Sarah and her husband faced challenges that led to her considering divorce. They both knew it was not an easy decision, but they were determined to make the best out of the situation, especially for Grace.

The book provides practical guidance and emotional support for parents and Sarah stressed the importance of compartmentalizing emotions during this challenging time. She recounts how her daughter Grace's innocent and wise remark about a "good divorce" became the catalyst for writing the book.   Sarah is on a mission to change society's perception of divorce and to promote the concept of a divorce should not define one's life negatively and that everyone deserves happiness and fulfillment, regardless of marital status and with the right support can find a way to move forward.    Guest contact info: Facebook | Website We would love to hear from you.

Today on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by guest Karen Covy as she shares what you need to know and do to make good decisions.  This is especially important during divorce, so listen in!  Divorce is a time when you are going to make important life decisions in a short period. If you don't know how or don't do it well, you will kick yourself in the aftermath. When discussing divorce, we don't typically talk about making sound, reasoned decisions and, more specifically, how to make them. In this episode, Karen takes us through a scientific approach to decision-making. She helps you become the CEO of divorce and learn how to make those big decisions and do it well.  You never want to look back and think, I wish I had thought that through more clearly - so be sure to listen and learn! Karen Covy is a Divorce and Decision Coach, Lawyer, Mediator, Speaker, and Author. She coaches busy professionals and business owners who want to make clear, confident decisions during highly-charged emotional situations. Karen also helps her clients become the CEOs of their divorce so that they can navigate their divorce with less conflict, less expense, and less damage to themselves and their children.  Topics and Golden Nuggets include: What the science of decision-making tells us about deciding to divorce - Hint: it's all emotional. How to make a big, emotional decision when there's a lot at stake, and you don't want to screw up  “A big part of the decision-making process is figuring out what you want and then believing you have the ability to create that thing.” Where to start when deciding whether you should stay or go  Why it's important to reality-test your options “If you don't take action on a decision, it's not really a decision.” **************************************** About this week's special guest: Karen Covy Karen Covy is a Divorce and Decision Coach, Lawyer, Mediator, Speaker and Author.

And Chapter 2 of our missing cat story, in which Kayte encounters strangers in parking lots at 5am who are also searching for her cat.

"In divorce it's fundamental that even though the couple ends, there's not an end to the family. We still owe a debt to the other - that other who offered to love us, who we had the opportunity to love, our debt to the children of that union. We are irrevocably called to ethics and to the continuing sense of responsibility to that other. Even though the marriage doesn't survive, the family needs to. In the high - conflict scenario, not only does the marriage not survive, often the family doesn't as well. In that sense it is profoundly unethical.  So when I attempt to work with people in that situation, I always do so from an ethical perspective - ethical in the sense of creating a third, so that you try and enter into that system, but it has to be a profoundly ethical presence which I also find is distinctly psychoanalytic. I think our method is saturated with ethics without even realizing it, we're always thinking in ethical terms, managing transference, powerful forces within analytic relationship -  it's a profoundly ethical task that we do. In that sense we also serve as witnesses to what our patients have experienced. The witnessing is also a kind of engagement and we try to do that when we work with people in the high-conflict position."  Episode Description: We begin by distinguishing high-conflict divorce from less malignant versions. Arthur has found that high-conflict divorce is characterized by a particular timeless destructiveness that lacks regard for the sense of the family or the history of affection that had existed within and between the individuals. He has noted an experience of overwhelming disillusionment in the histories of those who are unable to mourn and instead remain immersed in vendetta seeking. We discuss the role of ethics, witnessing, and the capacity for the 'third' in these couples. Arthur shares with us his clinical experience with same-sex couples as well as with the unfortunate scenarios of alienated children who attempt to bolster the fragile capacities of one parent by refusing any contact with the other. He concludes by describing that his attention to the inner realities of these individuals is what he uniquely brings as a psychoanalyst to these often behaviorally tumultuous human tragedies.   Our Guest: Arthur Leonoff, Ph.D., is a psychologist and Supervising & Training Analyst of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society. He is a past president and recipient of his Society's Citation of Merit. He is also an Honorary member of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Dr. Leonoff was the first president of the North American Psychoanalytic Confederation. He currently is chair of the IPA Committee International New Groups.Dr. Leonoff has maintained a private psychoanalytic practice for more than four decades. He is an active clinician, teacher, supervisor, and presenter, as well as author. Recently he has contributed to two edited volumes, Dear Candidate and Psychoanalysis at the Crossroads. He has written on diverse subjects of clinical interest, including the kindling of metaphor in recovering from the impact of early complex psychic trauma.In addition to his psychoanalytic practice, Dr. Leonoff has worked extensively as a consultant and expert witness to the Canadian courts on the confluence of psychopathology and high-conflict divorce. He is the author of three books in this field, most recently The Good Divorce (2015) and When Divorces Fail, Disillusionment, Destructivity & High Conflict Divorce (2021), The Good Divorce has been revised and republished as The Ethical Divorce, which is available from Friesen Press.

Not everyone gets married. Frankly, it's not right for everyone, and that's totally fine. Also, not everyone who gets married, stays married. Divorce is never an intended outcome, but it happens very often. However, as my expert shares with us today, having a child in the middle of the divorcing parents needs to be handled with far greater care than two people who just don't work anymore. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  I'm your host as always Colton Petry. My guest today is Sarah Armstrong. Sarah is a woman who had such a successful divorce, and gave so much advice on doing it the right way, that she was nearly forced to write a book. She's with us today to talk about the logistics of divorce when a child is involved, and how you can succeed in having the best separation possible for tiny human caught in the middle. Let's be adults about this. It's weird to say, but I hope everyone learned something today that they'll never have to use. I want you all to have rich and full lives, surrounded by people who care about you. Anyway, that's it for this week! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here on Monday!

Today I am joined by Sarah Armstrong, the author of The Moms Guide to a Good Divorce. Sarah wrote this book to empower other moms to focus on partnering with their ex-spouse to keep the peace for their child(ren). She gives some incredible tips on preparing your child(ren) for divorce, handling the “firsts” post-divorce, and continuing a solid co-parenting relationship. Sarah shares the impact of divorce on children and how to do the best job of protecting them from the parents' decision. Tune in today to learn how to help your children cope with the process and how to create a good divorce. In this episode: How to handle the “firsts” post-divorce? to a Good Divorce? Was Sarah's divorce easy, and what was her experience with her ex-spouse? How do you prepare children for divorce? How to handle the “firsts” post-divorce? How do you continue a solid co-parenting relationship? Key Takeaways: Children don't choose to get divorced but are most significantly impacted by that decision. Think about what's best for your children when going through the divorce - that will lead you to a “good divorce.” Utilizing the compartmental muscle is a critical skill post-divorce. Choosing to save a frustration or negative emotion to be kept and released when children are not around. Focusing on reducing the impact on the children will do wonders for them as they grow up. They will watch how the parents handle divorce and feel the effects of changing houses, being apart from their parents for holidays, etc. It is a big deal to them, so creating a consistent routine and being supportive is vital when going through the divorce and beyond. Quotes: “Divorce is an action. You get divorced. What you put your children through during that process can have such an impact emotionally, on their view on marriage and relationships and just their overall happiness.” - Sarah Armstrong “Your children are watching you every moment along the way. What you're showing them is that you will focus on re-living or re-litigating why you got divorced and who did something to the other person. Or will you look ahead and say we are creating a new positive, happy life here and moving forward? And I think the compartmentalization muscle is a key component to think about when trying to move on and look ahead.” - Sarah Armstrong Resources: The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce Book The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce Website Lesa Koski Website Lesa's Online Courses

This episode is not promoting divorce but it was made to empower those in the process.Empowerment takes many forms, but for Sarah Armstrong, "good divorce proponent," v-p of global marketing operations at Google and author of 'The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce,' learning to use your "compartmentalization muscle" will take you far in getting what you want, keeping a positive mindset and making sure your children take priority. For self-care, the compartmentalization muscle is essential.As vice-president of global marketing operations at Google, Sarah is a widely recognized for her marketing acumen, and she is a committed mentor as well. On the board of the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation, she recently moved from Atlanta to San Francisco for work.How does she do it?Sarah says women in particular—and it's a lesson we can all take to heart when we're trying to balance life, work and life transitions—need to exercise the “compartmentalization muscle.”In fact it was a therapist-friend of Sarah's who told her she had one of the most ironclad abilities to exercise this most important muscle.For dealing with divorce and raising children, it's an especially effective technique, Sarah says, to keep the environment healthy and mindsets positive.Sarah shares practical tips and advice on how to utilize and develop your “compartmentalization muscle,” all for the good for you and your children.Website: https://www.momsguidetogooddivorce.com/LinkedIn:linkedin.com/in/sarah-madden-armstrong-5432887Contact OliviaEmail - olivia@oliviatmcook.comLink's and freebies- https://linktr.ee/Oliviatmcook20 minute strategy session - https://calendly.com/oliviatmcookcoaching/strategy-session

When the stresses of life become so great the relationship cannot survive, is it possible to at least have a GOOD divorce ?

“We owe it to them to ensure they're not collateral damage due to this divorce.”Meet Sarah ArmstrongSarah works at Google but decided as a side gig to write her book “The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce: What to Think Through When Children Are Involved” largely because it gave her the opportunity to share what she'd learned during her own divorce with others. And that's not to say her divorce was a cakewalk. It was hard. It provided challenges for her, her ex, and their daughter. But through it all, they maintained the belief that they had to do what was best for their daughter. Hence, the good divorce.Seth and Pete talk to Sarah about the decision to make the divorce a good one and how it shaped everything from that point forward. They talk about what it means to ‘do what's best for the children.' They discuss logistics, scheduling conflicts, and soccer games. They also talk about the battles over things like first right of refusal.It's also important to think beyond the years your kids will be under your roofs. What about when they're older? Are you working to build that relationship beyond 18? How should you act when they're young? Should you consider counseling for your child?It's a wide ranging conversation that digs into a lot of topics that can help you as you work through your own divorce.About SarahSarah Armstrong, good divorce proponent and author of The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce, is vice president, global marketing operations, at Google and proud mom of Grace, who will be a sophomore in college in the fall of 2022.

Sarah Armstrong went never thought she was going to go through a divorce.  No one does.  Until they do.   So one day when standing in a CVS with her daughter, she had an aha moment.  Her daughter pointed to a People Magazine where JLO and Marc Anthony were on the cover.  The story was about their divorce.  She asked her mom "Is that a good divorce or a bad divorce?"  When Sarah asked what she meant by that, she went on to describe what that meant - and referred to her and her ex.  She knew then and there that she had to write a book.  Now, as the Vice President of Global Marketing Operations at Google, and her daughter a freshman in college, she is super busy, but still so passionate about her mission about spreading the word about what a good divorce looks like.   She's written a super insightful and helpful book on the topic and is joining me today to talk about how to have a really good divorce - even when you have a narcissist on the other side.  Listen in to hear what she has to say!   More about Sarah Sarah Armstrong, good divorce proponent and author of The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce, is vice president, global marketing operations, at Google and proud mom of Grace, who is currently a freshman in college.

When children are part of the equation of how a divorce is handled, being intentional about doing what is best for them is so important. Divorce is traumatic for everyone involved and it can have a lasting effect on children, especially. That's a weighty responsibility when it comes to re-learning how to parent in the midst of, and after, a divorce.    This week's guest, Sarah Armstrong, shares her powerful story of navigating divorce with her daughter's well-being at the forefront. It's incredibly easy for animosity between divorced parents to create a toxic environment for their children, and how children experience divorce remains with them for the rest of their lives. Through thoughtful intentionality, Sarah and her ex charted a course that made space for each of them to process and express their grief while doing their best to minimize trauma for their daughter. That hard work was rewarded a year later when Sarah's daughter described her parents' divorce as a “good one.”   When Sarah isn't traveling the world as a global business executive, she works to break down the stigma that surrounds divorce through her book, The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce. I hope you enjoy hearing her story this week on the Divorce Doctor Podcast.   Learn more about Sarah by visiting her website at momsguidetogooddivorce.com.
