Karen McMahon, the founder of Journey Beyond Divorce, joins us to share her profound insights on breaking free from the mental hold of a high-conflict ex-spouse. We discuss how ruminating on an ex-partner's behavior can cloud one's judgment during and after divorce, hindering the path to personal empowerment.

By recognizing our roles in past dynamics, we can reclaim control over our lives and make decisions aligned with our values.We also shed light on the complex journey of rebuilding self-worth after enduring coercive control and domestic abuse.

When navigating the complexities of divorce, it's easy to feel trapped in indecision, but often that indecision is rooted in fear. In this episode, Karen McMahon explores how fear-based decisions can feel safe in the moment but lead to complications down the road. We'll discuss the concept of the “safety bubble,” a powerful method that temporarily removes fear, allowing you to gain clarity and make decisions based on desire instead of fear. Decisions like whether to end or mend your marriage, how to handle telling your children, or whether to sell the marital home often come with fear-based thinking that keeps us stuck. Desire-based decisions, though initially scary and requiring a leap of faith, almost always lead to more positive outcomes. Together, we'll uncover how creating that safety bubble can help you move past fear and into choices that are aligned with your true desires, leading to greater confidence and better results in your divorce journey.

In this final episode of Wise and Worthy, we want to leave you with the 7 Essentials When Navigating Divorce. Whether you're in the thick of the divorce process or reflecting on life after, these essentials will provide you with the tools and mindset needed to navigate this difficult time with grace, clarity, and strength.We also have a number of resources for you in our show notes, including links to some of our favorite divorce podcasts AND some FREE GIFTS to help you along the way!!So let's jump in…The first essential is…1. Emotional Support: Therapy, Coaching, and CommunityDivorce is emotionally taxing, and it's vital to have the right support in place. We discuss the value of therapy, divorce coaching, and surrounding yourself with loved ones who offer healthy, unbiased support. When emotions run high, having professionals to guide you and a solid emotional foundation is essential for making sound decisions.2. Get Educated: Legal Guidance You Can TrustDon't take legal advice from just anyone! It's crucial to get informed by seeking counsel from a *family law attorney*, not your spouse, friends, or family members. Proper legal advice ensures you're protecting your interests and making decisions that align with the law, not just emotions or hearsay.3. Financial Guidance: Understanding Your FinancesFinances can be one of the most complex parts of divorce. We emphasize reaching out to financial specialists and understanding your financial picture so you can negotiate from a place of clarity and confidence. With the right financial guidance, you'll be better equipped to secure a future that aligns with your needs.4. Child-Centric Decisions: Putting Kids FirstYour children should always be at the center of every decision during and after the divorce. We discuss the importance of maintaining a child-centric approach, ensuring their emotional and physical needs are prioritized above all else.5. Mastering Your Mindset: Shifting Limiting Beliefs Your mind can be your greatest obstacle or your biggest ally. Divorce often brings up limiting beliefs, assumptions, and self-doubt. We talk about noticing the stories you create in your head and how to shift those stories into ones that drive clarity, confidence, and action.6. Co-Parenting: Navigating the Long Game Whether you have an amicable co-parenting relationship or one that's more complex, it's essential to approach co-parenting with the long game in mind. We explore how to maintain peaceful communication when possible and when it's necessary to adopt a parallel parenting strategy to minimize conflict.7. Life After Divorce: True Freedom Finally, we discuss how life after divorce can be the most liberating time—if you've done the emotional and mindset work. By letting go of past arguments, regret, comparison, and fear, you can step into a new chapter of true freedom in all areas of your life.Resources to leave you with:@Wearesoworthy (Instagram and TikTok)Worthy on FacebookWorthy Blog  - Dozens of articles on Divorce topics including parenting, finances, dating, legal, and family.

It is an all too human tendency to react to stressful situations in counterproductive ways, to attack out of intense emotion without a clear purpose, to accommodate long after it's healthy to do so, or to avoid addressing situations that are destructive. While these are rarely wise strategies, they are disastrous strategies prior to, in the midst of, and post divorce. During this episode and the following two Team Talks, Karen McMahon and Lisa Brick discuss an alternative approach to attacking, accommodating, and avoiding, help you to understand what part of your brain gets hijacked when you do, and how to be proactive, forward looking, and purposeful. When you use all of your brain, not just the hijacked parts, to handle the challenges that arise around divorce you begin to master your situation. These three Team Talks are based on the research and findings of neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor in her 2021 book, Whole Brain Living: the Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Lives.   Journey Beyond Divorce Resources: Book a Free Rapid Relief Call: http://rapidreliefcall.com  Follow JBD on Instagram: @journey_beyond_divorce   A word from our sponsors: Soberlink is a revolutionary tool designed to support individuals in their journey to sobriety.

In this heart-stirring episode of "Mend or End," we dive deep into the crossroads of decision that many find themselves standing at, teetering on the edge of staying in or leaving an unhealthy marriage. Karen's journey is one that resonates with the silent battles many face: the weight of religious or marital commitments that bind, the daunting financial fears of navigating life solo, and the complex web of fears surrounding the well-being and future of their children. It's a narrative wrapped in the struggle between the hope of change and the reality of delusion, between the known hardships and the foreign, overwhelming prospects of divorce.Karen's solo episode is not just a story; it's an exploration of the internal conflicts that plague those considering the immense step of ending a relationship. It addresses the all-too-common fear of being unable to make it alone and the paralyzing effect of having been bullied into a state of self-distrust. Furthermore, it confronts the intricacies of parental concerns—from the fear of hurting the kids with conflict, losing precious time with them, to the financial anxieties tied to their future education. Through Karen's eyes, we explore how the quest for personal health and well-being could indeed be the ultimate form of protection and support for one's children, challenging the listener to weigh the pros and cons of mend or end.Journey Beyond Divorce Resources mentioned in this episode:If you're unsure how you would categorize your marriage, take our Relationship QuizIf you've been on the fence - Grab a Should I Mend or End FREE Coaching Call with Karen McMahon! If You have already decide and need support moving forward, check out Divorce 101

PART TWO OF INTERVIEWToday we will discuss the topic of high conflict divorce. It's unfortunate, but far too common for a poor marriage to end in a high conflict divorce. On this podcast we welcome Karen McMahon, Chief Visionary of Journey Beyond Divorce, to discuss what to do if we find ourselves in a high conflict divorce to survive and thrive. Bible Passage Inspiration: Hebrews 12:14 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”Resources: www.jbddivorcesupport.com

Have you ever been told to, “first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye” in regards to your emotionally abusive marriage? That passage of the Bible is often used to mutualize the sin of the abuser and his victim. This is called sin-leveling, and it's a form of spiritual abuse. Karen McMahon is here to show us how to take back the meaning of these verses to empower and strengthen ourselves. Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereIf you are a Christian woman who thinks you may be in an emotionally destructive marriage, learn more at https://flyingfreenow.comI'll send you (free!) the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?

One of the hardest steps we have to take when entering divorce is telling our kids and then navigating these turbulent early stages with their best interest in mind.  There is a lot of excellent advice on when and how to tell. Today we add some nuance to the conversation. Telling the kids in a ‘garden variety' divorce may look different than a high conflict divorce. We talk about doing what is best for the children, not you or your spouse; keeping it age appropriate and sharing comforting details of what comes next without overwhelming them with too much information.
