What's often missing from traditional divorce approaches is acknowledgment of the emotional landscape, communication challenges, and the complex human dynamics that determine whether a family heals or fractures during separation.The "modern divorce ecosystem" is evolving rapidly as families seek alternatives to adversarial proceedings that often leave lasting damage. Today's divorcing couples want more than just legal settlements; they're looking for guidance on effective communication, co-parenting strategies, and paths toward emotional healing. This shift reflects broader societal changes and recognition that while conflict in divorce is inevitable, destructive conflict is optional.Divorce coaches occupy a unique position in this evolving landscape. Unlike attorneys or therapists, coaches focus specifically on developing practical skills that help clients navigate both the emotional and logistical challenges of divorce. They serve as objective thinking partners who help clients manage overwhelming emotions, prepare for difficult conversations, and build the communication skills necessary for productive conflict resolution. These skills prove especially crucial for parents who must transform their relationship from intimate partners to effective co-parents—a transition that impacts not just minor children but adult children and extended family as well.Professional collaboration represents another significant trend, with family law attorneys, mediators, and mental health professionals increasingly recognizing the value divorce coaches bring to the process. Some law firms now employ in-house coaches, while many professionals are adding coaching skills to their own toolkit, finding that this approach not only better serves clients but also reduces the burnout rates common in family law practice.Ready to learn more about how divorce coaching can transform family transitions or enhance your professional practice?

Understanding Why People Stay in Abusive RelationshipsBill Eddy and Megan Hunter return for their seventh season of It's All Your Fault to tackle a challenging but critical topic: why people stay in abusive relationships. Drawing from their extensive experience at the High Conflict Institute, they explore the complex psychological, financial, and social factors that make leaving difficult—even for those with resources and support networks.The Power of Coercive ControlThe episode delves into how coercive control operates in relationships, using the high-profile example of FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf. Bill and Megan examine how abusers use tactics like love bombing, isolation, and emotional manipulation to maintain power. They emphasize that this pattern appears not just in romantic relationships, but in workplaces, families, and elder care situations.Understanding Personality PatternsThe discussion explores how people with cluster B personality traits may engage in controlling behaviors. Bill and Megan carefully explain the connection between personality patterns and abusive behavior, while emphasizing that not everyone with these traits becomes abusive. They examine how cultural factors and early life experiences can influence the development of controlling behaviors.Breaking Free and Finding HelpThe hosts share practical advice for recognizing abuse and seeking help, highlighting the importance of self-talk and building support networks. They discuss how professionals and concerned individuals can better support those in abusive situations, emphasizing the need for careful investigation rather than quick dismissal of abuse claims.Questions we answer in this episode:Why do capable, independent people stay in abusive relationships?How does coercive control work in different types of relationships?What role do personality patterns play in abusive behavior?How can professionals better identify and help abuse victims?What are the first steps to breaking free from an abusive relationship?Key Takeaways:Abusive relationships often involve complex psychological manipulationFinancial and social factors can make leaving extremely difficultSelf-doubt and eroded self-esteem are common barriers to leavingSupport systems are crucial for helping people leave abusive situationsProfessional help and community awareness can make a significant differenceThis episode provides valuable insights for anyone trying to understand abusive relationships—whether personally affected or supporting others.

In this week's episode, Ang welcomes Bernadette Willems, a mediation specialist, to discuss the vital role of mediation in divorce and conflict resolution. The discussion explores Bernadette's journey from being a solicitor to becoming a mediator, the benefits of mediation over the traditional court process, and how mediation helps in dealing with various conflicts, including business disputes and professional breakdowns. They delve into the importance of communication, the challenges of co-parenting, and the impact of mediation on creating lasting change. Bernadette shares her insights on the mindfulness approach to mediation, the dynamics of the mediation process, and the advantages of having separate meetings with parties involved. The episode offers valuable advice for anyone contemplating divorce and highlights the importance of considering mediation as a primary step. (00:00) Introduction and Welcome (00:23) Meet Bernadette Willems: The Mediation Specialist (01:59) The Journey to Mediation (03:19) The Mediation Process Explained (05:57) Challenges and Misconceptions in Mediation (11:31) The Importance of Communication in Mediation (12:21) Personal Experiences and Advice on Mediation (14:25) The Role of a Mediator (25:50) The Benefits of Mediation Over Court (41:14) Final Thoughts and Advice (43:16) Conclusion and Farewell KEY TAKEAWAYS Mediation empowers individuals to resolve disputes themselves, fostering better outcomes than adversarial court battles. The introduction of mediation in the UK initially faced resistance from solicitors but ultimately became a collaborative process benefiting all parties. Legal aid for mediation is now limited, which can restrict access for vulnerable individuals who might benefit most from the process. Mediation is not just about financial settlements—it plays a crucial role in co-parenting arrangements and adapting to children's changing needs. The confidentiality and structure of mediation allow both parties to be heard, helping to break down polarization and promote constructive dialogue. BEST MOMENTS "In mediation, you are right at the center and can control what's happening." "Solicitors felt challenged that this new profession might stop their flow of clients." "Legal aid for mediation is now very limited, which leaves out vulnerable people." "The real beauty of mediation is that, with children, if parents can communicate, the arrangements are so much better." "Having the opportunity to be heard and listened to is hugely empowering."

In this episode, we sit down with Blake Moody a guy who's been through the fire and came out the other side. Blake opens up about the wreckage of divorce: what went wrong, what it taught him, and how he's rebuilding life on the other side with more emotional intelligence and clarity. We get into the real stuff the breakdown in communication, the emotional chaos, and what it's like trying to stay present for your kids while your world is falling apart. Blake doesn't sugarcoat it. He talks about lawyer drama, why mediation is underrated, and how co-parenting can feel like walking a tightrope… blindfolded. Together, we dig into what divorce actually does to a man, why having a solid support system is non-negotiable, and how faith and gratitude can become your lifeline when everything else feels like it's slipping. If you're a dad in the trenches, this one's for you. We break down tools, mindsets, and lessons that'll help you keep your head up from setting boundaries to letting go of what you can't control.

Vom Major zum Mindset. Julia Labonte-Stoy arbeitete über 25 Jahre in verschiedenen Schlüsselpositionen bei Warner Music – unter anderem als Head of Streaming und Head of Artist Relations.

Julia berichtet offen über ihren Karriereweg, die Dynamik und Herausforderungen im Major-Bereich und wie sie ihre gesammelten Erfahrungen in ihre heutige Arbeit einbringt.

Art and Hanna Bankier explore the complex terrain of life transitions, particularly the shift from hands-on parenting to becoming a "Mama Mentor" as children leave home. Hanna shares her journey from Swedish immigrant to transition coach, revealing how every identity shift creates opportunities for authentic reinvention. "We have this idea that the time we have left is unknown, combined with life is fragile, equals do it now," she reflects, challenging listeners to embrace change rather than resist it.Through personal stories and practical exercises, Hanna offers listeners a roadmap for navigating transitions with intention. "Are you performing, producing, or providing?" she asks, confronting our culture's obsession with productivity as the measure of worth. The conversation weaves between vulnerability and practical advice, including a powerful identity-mapping exercise with colored markers that reveals where your energy flows. Can we slow down enough to recognize our inherent value beyond what we do?Hanna Bankier is the founder of Birdie Launcher, where she helps moms spread their wings as their little ones leave the nest.

With advanced degrees in Electronic Communication Arts and Industrial Organizational Psychology, plus certifications in Mediation, Conflict Resolution, and coaching (ACC from ICF), she brings professional expertise to personal transitions. Her provocative question to mothers—"What if the best years of your life are yet to come?"—guides her work helping women rediscover themselves beyond active parenting.

De-escalating High-Conflict Divorce: A Rabbi's Perspective on Finding PeaceRabbi Avi Kahan joins Seth Nelson and Pete Wright to explore how de-escalation techniques and cultural sensitivity can help families reach sustainable resolutions during divorce. As a mediator handling complex religious and cultural divorce cases, Rabbi Kahan brings unique insights into managing high-conflict situations and helping couples transition from being spouses to successful co-parents.The conversation delves deep into how fear and conflict often mask deeper emotional struggles during divorce. Seth and Pete explore with Rabbi Kahan how the legal system's focus on "fairness" can sometimes escalate tensions, while religious and cultural perspectives might offer alternative paths to resolution. They discuss how divorce doesn't actually separate parents—it unifies them in a new way as co-parents, requiring them to articulate a new future together for their children's sake.Questions we answer in this episode:How can you de-escalate high-conflict divorce situations?What role does "fairness" really play in divorce proceedings?How can religious perspectives help in understanding divorce as transformation rather than failure?Key Takeaways:Focus on living your life, not your divorce—don't let temporary legal proceedings define your actionsDe-escalation often requires helping both parties want the divorce, not just need itCourt litigation can force parents to suppress their authentic selves, potentially harming childrenThe episode offers valuable insights for anyone navigating a contentious divorce, especially those dealing with cultural or religious complexities.
