The Divorce and Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.: Recent Episodes
Susan Guthrie, Esq.
Nationally recognized family law attorney, mediator and award-winning podcaster, Susan Guthrie is at it again! After guiding countless numbers of people through the perilous world of divorce—and speaking to a podcast audience of over 4 million listeners—she’s bringing you the “The Divorce & Beyond Podcast” to help you thrive in your life BEYOND divorce!
Co-parenting takes two people willing to show up. Susan Guthrie says that when only one parent is willing, it is one of the most common and most exhausting struggles she sees, and it is exactly the situation divorce parenting expert Christina McGhee helps families navigate.
Parenting even under the best of circumstances is challenging. Add in a co-parent who is uncooperative or high-conflict, and it becomes downright exhausting, leaving you feeling like you are constantly trying to protect your kids while managing someone who is not making it easy.
Christina tackles one of the toughest situations of all, co-parenting when there is no real co-parent on the other side, and shares her top tips for working through the feelings of hopelessness and exhaustion that come with it. Together, she and Susan talk through how to get to a place of being in control of yourself and your emotions, so you can stay grounded, set boundaries, keep your children out of the middle, and show up as an empowered, consistent, engaging, and confident parent no matter what your co-parent is doing.
What You'll Learn
- What Christina means when she says “When there’s no “Co” in Co-parenting…”
- Instead of staying focused on fixing the co-parent, lean into your co-parenting values and work on yourself
- Radical acceptance: Adjust your expectations and accept things the way they are…for now. “It may not get easier, but how you manage it makes a difference.”
- Ask yourself: How is your response going to impact your children?
- Talk about the problem, not the person. “Making the other parent look small will never make you look big.”
- Don’t forget about the power of one!

What happens when you suspect your spouse isn't telling the truth about the finances? Susan Guthrie says it's more common than you think, and it's exactly what forensic accountant Tracy Coenen does for a living.
Tracy Coenen has spent more than 25 years uncovering hidden money in corporate fraud cases and in divorces too. She calls it "divorce financial planning," when someone sees a split coming and starts thinking about what they can do with the money so they don't have to divide it or pay support on it. She also calls out "divorce amnesia," the sudden inability to remember an inheritance or a bank account on a financial disclosure form. Tracy returns to Divorce and Beyond to walk through the five most common ways people hide money when a marriage ends.
As a divorce attorney for more than three decades, Susan has seen plenty of these sneaky moves herself, and she knows a forensic accountant can almost always find them. Together, she and Tracy go through the practical, do it yourself steps to spot the signs using bank statements, tax documents, and a little pattern recognition, without hiring a small army of experts. If the numbers in your divorce have ever felt off, this one is for you.
What You'll Learn
- What to look for when a spouse is only depositing part of their paycheck into the joint account
- Why a sudden increase in cash withdrawals, or a spouse suddenly hitting the ATM, is worth a closer look
- How gift cards and cash back at checkout can become a quiet way to siphon money out of the marital estate
- How to spot a secret credit card, especially when it's hiding at the very same bank as your main account
- Why a paycheck, bonus, or commission that vanishes right as a divorce begins may not be a coincidence
- How pulling together the right bank statements and tax documents lets you spot these patterns yourself, without paying a forensic accountant

About this week's special guest: Tracy Coenen
Tracy has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn’t always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.

Susan Guthrie turns to a subject that keeps more people up at night than almost any other one in divorce: money. Specifically, how to protect it, and how to stop spending it in the wrong places.
Heather Locus is a CPA, certified financial planner, and certified divorce financial analyst with a rare gift for taking the most complicated financial pieces of divorce and making them feel manageable. In this episode, Heather shares her top strategies for saving money in your divorce, from the common mistakes that quietly drain your settlement to the smart moves that keep more of your hard-earned dollars where they belong, with you.
Together, Susan and Heather walk through her five ways to save money in a divorce, from getting organized early and assembling the right support team, to keeping business and emotion separate, to using her Settle Smart projections to see the road ahead. As Heather points out, these are critical points whether you have millions in the bank or are living paycheck to paycheck.
What You'll Learn
- Why something as simple as setting up a separate email for divorce communications can save real time, money, and stress
- What discernment counseling is, and how pausing to consider it can save money in your divorce negotiations, even if you still end up divorcing
- Why having laser focused priorities, for yourself and for your spouse, is the key to smart negotiating
- How to assemble the right support team, and when mediation, collaborative divorce, or traditional litigation is the better fit
- Why remembering "it's business" helps you make financial decisions instead of emotional ones
- What Settle Smart is, and how modeling your financial future helps you know what to accept, and what's worth continuing to negotiate for

Susan Guthrie has been a divorce attorney and mediator for 35 years and she thinks that in almost all cases, your first hire in divorce should be a coach. This episode explains why.
How do you find the right divorce coach for you? The popularity of divorce coaching has grown enormously, and with so many kinds of coaches out there, it can be hard to know what a divorce coach actually does or how to find the right one. People hear the word coach and think of life coaches, athletic coaches, business coaches, and divorce coaching gets lumped in with all of them. This episode clears that up and answers the questions many people need early in the divorce process.
Susan is joined by Tracy Callahan and Debra Doak, the founders of The Divorce Coaches Academy, who train and support divorce coaches and are themselves practicing coaches, mediators, and Susan's colleagues in the dispute resolution field. They explain what a divorce coach really is, a flexible, goal-oriented process recognized by the American Bar Association as a form of alternative dispute resolution, designed to support and guide people through both the business side and the emotional management of divorce.
Together they walk through how to find a coach who fits, what questions to ask on a complimentary discovery call, why training and certification matter in a field with no national standards, and how the right coach can save a client both time and money. Susan makes the case she has made before, that a divorce coach is an essential member of your team and often the best place to start, because the choice can shape who you hire next.

What do I do first when I find out I'm getting divorced?
It is the number one question people ask the moment divorce becomes real, whether they reached the decision themselves or were just told it is coming. In one of her most-requested solo episodes, Susan Guthrie introduces the concept of Divorce Triage, a clear-headed way to assess your situation and decide who to reach out to first based on the urgency and the needs of your specific case.
Borrowing from the emergency room, Susan explains that when a crisis hits, whether emotional, legal, or financial, you do not have to solve the whole thing at once. You just have to take the right first step. Drawing on more than three decades as a family law attorney and mediator, she walks through the core members of a divorce support team, the attorney, the mediator, the divorce coach, the therapist, and the certified divorce financial analyst, and uses real scenarios to show who your first call should be. From the affair discovery, to the financial betrayal, to the blindsided stay-at-home parent, to the longtime thinker who is finally ready to act, each situation calls for a different first move.
Divorce is not one size fits all, and the first decision you make can shape everything that follows. This episode helps you think clearly and choose carefully, so you move forward with strength and strategy instead of panic.

Kelly Myers has been on Divorce and Beyond twice before. Once to talk about Divorce Day One. Once to help listeners avoid the divorce hangover that follows too many people into their new life. This time, she comes back to share something she has never spoken about publicly: what the loss of her son Jack taught her about years of high-conflict co-parenting, and her hope that every parent still in the middle of it will find a way through differently.
In June of 2024, Kelly lost her son Jack at the age of 23. In the year that followed, she found herself looking back at the years of high-conflict co-parenting that had defined her children's childhoods, and asking questions she could not stop asking.
What role did the conflict play?
What did her children carry because of it?
What would she have done differently if she had known what she knows now?
Kelly reached out and asked to have this conversation here, because she believes that what she learned at great cost is something other parents can still choose to learn a different way.
This is one of the most generous conversations this show has ever had. Susan Guthrie and Kelly explore the real cost of co-parenting conflict on children, what it actually looks like to drop the rope after years of high-conflict engagement, how the ecosystem around a divorce often makes things worse, and what repair looks like when you still have years ahead to offer it.
Covered in this episode:
- Why dropping the rope has to start with you, and why waiting for your co-parent to change first means waiting forever
- How the divorce ecosystem, including attorneys, family, and friends, can fan the flames of conflict without anyone asking what you actually want to protect
- What high-conflict co-parenting looks like through the eyes of the children living inside it, and why each child carries it differently
- How the BIFF communication method helped shift a years-long dynamic, and what that looked like in practice
- Why it is never too late to begin repair, and what choosing differently right now can mean for the moments still ahead

The question comes up in almost every divorce: what happens to the house? It is usually one of the biggest assets of the marriage, one of the biggest debts, and one of the most emotionally loaded decisions people face. Wanting to keep the house and actually being able to keep the house are two very different things.
This week Susan is bringing back one of the most downloaded archived conversations from the Divorce and Beyond library, a conversation with Tami Wollensak, licensed mortgage loan originator and Certified Divorce Lending Professional, walking through the real financial realities of keeping the marital home.
Together, Susan and Tami unpack what it actually takes to keep the house in a divorce, from refinancing challenges and equity buyouts to qualifying for a mortgage on a single income, the hidden costs of homeownership, and why making this decision without proper financial planning can create serious problems long after the ink is dry.
Covered in this episode:
- Why wanting to keep the house and being able to keep the house are two very different things, and what a Certified Divorce Lending Professional can do to help close that gap
- How equity is calculated, why the purchase price is not the value, and what it means to buy out your spouse's share as part of the refinance
- Why maintenance, alimony, and child support do not automatically count as qualifying income and what lenders actually need to see
- How a missed mortgage payment can drop credit scores by hundreds of points and why "it was their responsibility" has never once removed a negative mark from a credit report
- Why getting a home inspection before finalizing your divorce agreement is one of the most overlooked and important steps you can take
KEEPING THE HOUSE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU SIGN
Almost everyone walks into divorce negotiations with the same instinct: I want to keep the house. It is understandable. It is the family home. It is where the children have put their heads on pillows for years. But signing a settlement agreement without knowing whether you can actually execute it is not a successful negotiation. Some of the most important things to understand before you commit, are discussed in this episode:
- Know the fair market value of your home today, not the purchase price, and understand what the actual equity is and how it will be divided
- Understand that keeping the house means refinancing into your name alone, which means qualifying on your income alone, and your payment will be based on current market rates, not what you are paying today
- Work with a divorce mortgage professional early in the process, before the settlement agreement is signed, so you can generate real options rather than make decisions based on guesses
- Get a home inspection before finalizing the agreement, just as you would when buying a new home, so you know exactly what you are signing up for
- If your spouse agrees to stay on the mortgage temporarily, set up protections: require advance notice if a payment may be missed, and request a duplicate mortgage statement so you can monitor it yourself
The goal is not to win the house. The goal is to make the decision that sets you up for the strongest future. Get the answers, both good and bad, and then decide.

Do you know what almost no one tells you when you are creating a parenting plan? Some of the biggest co-parenting battles after divorce will not be over the things you think. It may not be the major custody decision or where the children will primarily live. It may be the late pickup, the unanswered text, the forgotten backpack, or the soccer registration deadline no one thought to clarify.
That is why Susan Guthrie is joined by Gabrielle Hartley, attorney, mediator, parenting conflict expert, TEDx speaker, bestselling author of Better Apart: The Radically Positive Way to Separate, and creator of Mediator Gabby. Gabrielle has spent decades helping families navigate separation with greater clarity, less conflict, and better outcomes for children. Together, they get practical about why so many parenting plans break down after the divorce is finalized and what it actually takes to build one that holds up in real life.
This conversation is for anyone creating a parenting plan, already co-parenting, or supporting someone who is. Because choosing what feels easier right now has a way of creating a much more difficult problem to solve later.
Covered in this episode:
- Why most co-parenting conflict has nothing to do with bad parenting
- What makes a parenting plan fall apart once real life takes over
- How the "easier now, harder later" trap quietly sets families up for more conflict
- Why clarity matters more than detail when building a durable parenting plan
- How Mediator Gabby helps parents arrive prepared, stay focused, and reach better agreements
WHAT IF AN AI MEDIATOR COULD HELP YOU BUILD A PARENTING PLAN BEFORE YOU EVER WALK INTO A ROOM?
There are approximately 29-million children living in single-parent families in the United States, and the vast majority of their parents never have access to a lawyer, a mediator, or any professional guidance at all. Mediator Gabby, Gabrielle's AI-supported parenting plan tool was built with those families in mind.
Using this custom AI tool, each parent completes a guided onboarding on their own before any joint conversation begins, working through the full landscape of a parenting plan so that by the time they sit down together, they already know where they agree, where they do not, and what needs to be worked through.
Here is what that preparation can do for families:
- Save three to five hours of introductory conversation before mediation even begins
- Help parents arrive focused and prepared rather than reactive and overwhelmed
- Surface the details most people do not think to address until they become conflict points
- Lower the emotional temperature in the room so real resolution can happen faster
- Keep the process moving forward instead of stalling on issues that feel impossible in the moment
A parenting plan is the operating system for your family's next chapter. The clearer and more intentional it is from the start, the less conflict it creates down the road, and the better the experience for your children.

One of the biggest fears people face when contemplating divorce is the financial unknown. If you are sitting out there right now feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or worried about money, this conversation was made for you.
This week Susan is bringing you one of the most listened to and most shared episodes from the Divorce and Beyond archive, a conversation with certified divorce financial analyst Hollis Hardiman, also a certified mediator and certified collaborative professional, walking through the foundational financial preparation that can make such a difference when first starting the divorce process.
Together, Susan and Hollis get into what it really takes to protect your finances as you enter the process, from building the right professional support team to understanding what your household actually costs to approaching the big decisions, like the house, with clarity and an open mind instead of fear.
Covered in this episode:
- Why money is the number one fear people face when contemplating divorce and why the right professional support team changes everything
- How to start building a picture of your finances from what you already have access to, even if your spouse handled the money
- Why alimony and support are temporary and what it means to plan now for when they end
- How a CDFA helps clients protect their finances not just during the divorce process but for their financial future as well
HOW TO HANDLE THE MOST COMMON QUESTION ASKED DURING DIVORCE, "CAN I KEEP THE HOUSE?"
Almost everyone walks into the divorce process asking the same thing: can I keep the house? It is an understandable instinct. But when keeping the house becomes a fixed position rather than one option among many, it can stall the process, drain resources, and leave you worse off financially in the long run. Some things to consider, as discussed in this episode include:
- One household income divided into two households means the math will not work the same way
- Understand what it would actually cost to keep the house: refinancing, mortgage qualification, maintenance, and carrying costs
- Explore all the options: keeping, selling, renting, downsizing
- You can put the puzzle together a lot of different ways in divorce, but only if you stay open to looking at all the pieces
The goal is not to win the house. The goal is to make the decision that sets you up for the strongest financial future. Get the answers, both good and bad, and then decide.

Most people who go through divorce will tell you the same thing: "I was blindsided." But were they really? Or were the signs there all along, just not recognized for what they were?
That is the question at the center of this conversation, and Susan Guthrie is bringing in one of the true icons of family law to answer it. Marilyn Chinitz, partner at Blank Rome and renowned matrimonial attorney with more than four decades of experience, has sat across from thousands of clients who never saw it coming. She knows the red flags. She knows the financial blind spots. And she does not mince words.
Right now, a memoir is taking over the national conversation. Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden has ignited a bellwether of attention. This book has people everywhere asking, "How did she not see it?" Susan and Marilyn use this moment as a launching pad to go somewhere deeper: the patterns, the red flags, and the financial realities that every person in a marriage or contemplating one needs to understand.
Covered in this episode:
- The red flags hiding in plain sight, including subtle communication patterns, financial avoidance, and how your spouse treats others
- A client story that shows exactly how a prenup gives you a heads up about who you are marrying
- How trusts work in a marriage, why they are often set up completely legitimately, and when they cross into "funny business" that courts will not tolerate
- Why you do not divorce the same person you married, and what that really means for how you need to prepare
THIS CONVERSATION ALSO DIGS INTO WHY BEING AN EQUAL PARTNER MEANS BEING AN INFORMED ONE
Assets could be held in a trust you did not know about. The home could be rented. The wealth could be encumbered by debt. And if you never asked, you may not find out until you are sitting across from a divorce attorney.
- Ask to sit down and go through the finances together, even once a year
- Review bank statements, tax returns, and credit card accounts
- Understand what is in your name, what is joint, and what is held in a trust
- If your spouse brushes you off or refuses, that is a red flag worth taking seriously
- Get professionals around you: a financial advisor, a forensic accountant, and an attorney, even before anything goes wrong
This is not about suspicion. It is about being an equal partner and an informed one. The time to understand what you have is during a happy, intact marriage, not across a conference table from a divorce attorney. You are better off having that conversation early.

Over the past couple of weeks, headlines have described a tragic murder suicide involving a couple going through a divorce, once again framing it as a "contentious divorce." Let's be very clear about something: divorce did not cause what happened. Divorce does not cause murder. Domestic violence causes murder.
That is why Susan Guthrie is doing this difficult but important solo episode. She walks through the patterns of abuse, the high risk indicators that change a situation entirely, why the moment of separation is so dangerous, and what a thoughtful, strategic exit actually looks like.
This conversation moves from awareness to action, so if any part of what you hear feels familiar, you have something calm and structured to carry with you as you think through your next steps.
Covered in this episode:
- Why the moment of separation is often the most dangerous time, and how understanding that allows you to move more thoughtfully and strategically.
- The high risk indicators to take seriously: strangulation, threats to kill, access to firearms, stalking, extreme jealousy or control, and statements like "if I can't have you, no one will."
- What a thoughtful, strategic exit actually looks like, from quiet planning and digital safety to building a small, trusted circle of support.
- Why your children and pets must be part of your safety plan from the very beginning.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: ACCESS TO A FIREARM SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES YOUR RISK
If there is access to a firearm and you are leaving, you have to take that seriously. It significantly increases risk. This is where having professional guidance before you leave, and as you are making your plan, becomes critical.
- Find a domestic violence advocate
- Find a divorce coach who specializes in helping people experiencing domestic abuse or violence
- Meet with an attorney who understands the risks
- Include your children and your pets in your safety plan from the beginning
- Do not announce your plan before you are ready, as that can increase your risk
This is not a time for informal arrangements. The structure of your plan will matter, and getting guidance early on and plotting your strategy so that it is fully developed can make a meaningful difference.

You have probably done it. Typed a question about your divorce into ChatGPT or another AI tool late at night, when you did not want to call anyone else. You are not alone.
In this solo episode, family law attorney and mediator Susan Guthrie answers the 7 most common divorce questions people are asking AI, with the depth and 35-plus years of experience that make the difference between a good-enough answer and the right one.
The 7 questions covered:
- What are the most common mistakes people make during divorce?
- How can I find the right resources and support to help me through divorce?
- What are the best ways to communicate with my ex-spouse?
- What are effective strategies for co-parenting after divorce?
- How can I use divorce as an opportunity for growth and transformation?
- How do I protect my financial future during and after divorce?
- What should I know about the legal process my attorney might not tell me?
Susan also covers how to use AI smartly during your divorce, including three legal risks every person in an active proceeding should understand before typing private details into a commercial AI.
IMPORTANT: A LEGAL CAUTION ABOUT USING AI IN YOUR DIVORCE
This episode covers what AI gets right and wrong about divorce. It also addresses something rarely discussed in public: the legal risks of using commercial AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini while going through a divorce proceeding.
- Do not enter private financial details, asset information, or custody specifics into commercial AI platforms
- Case law is still developing, but courts have already ruled that AI conversations can be subject to discovery in legal proceedings
- Entering attorney-client privileged communications, therapist notes, doctor-patient information, or financial professional advice into a commercial AI may waive those legal privileges permanently
Use AI to understand general concepts. Keep the specific details of your situation in privileged, protected spaces: your attorney's office, your therapist's room, your mediator's table.

What If Your Divorce Case Is Already Building Itself Without You Knowing?
Your texts. Your Venmo transactions. Your location history. Your Google searches. Even the files you thought you deleted. In divorce, your digital life is not just part of your story. It is the evidence. And right now, the advice circulating on social media about how to handle it is often incomplete, misleading, and in some cases dangerously wrong.
In this solo episode, Susan Guthrie, top divorce attorney, mediator, and host of Divorce & Beyond, cuts through the noise with the clarity that comes from more than 35 years in the courtroom. She walks through what is trending on TikTok and Instagram right now, what popular media is actually getting right, and where the real legal risks live for people who act on bad information.
Because access to information is not the same as having the legal right to use it. And one decision made in a moment of frustration can create consequences that follow your case all the way to its end.
What You Will Learn
- What social media is getting right about digital footprints in divorce, and exactly where the advice breaks down
- Why the most damaging mistakes happen in moments of urgency, not deliberate choices
- The critical difference between building a case strategy and simply trying to catch your spouse, and why that distinction matters legally
- What courts are actually ruling about AI tools in divorce, including a real decision finding that AI chat logs were discoverable by the other side
- Why more information does not automatically strengthen your position, and how improperly obtained evidence can become leverage against you
- Five actionable takeaways, including why you must assume your entire digital life is discoverable from the moment divorce becomes a possibility
Free Resource: The Tech Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Divorce Case
Seven costly errors people are making right now with digital evidence in divorce, and what to do instead. This practical guide includes a before-you-act checklist, a social media reality check, and clear guidance on AI tools. Written by a nationally recognized divorce attorney.

Most people assume the hardest part of divorce is getting through it. What they do not realize is that the agreement they sign at the end is what they are going to live with long after it is over.
Susan Guthrie has spent more than 35 years watching the same costly patterns show up in her work. What attorneys, mediators, and post-divorce litigation trends are revealing is that many of the most expensive problems people face after divorce are coming directly from how their agreements were structured in the first place. In so many of those situations, the real issue did not start with enforcement. It started with how the agreement was written, and how it was negotiated.
In this solo episode, Susan walks through the five most costly mistakes people are making in divorce agreements right now, the patterns that keep showing up again and again, and how to avoid them before it is too late.
What You’ll Learn* Why rushing to be done is the most common and costly mistake in divorce, and why the agreement you rushed through today is the one you will wish you had slowed down for later * How financial misunderstanding leads people to agree to things they do not fully understand, and why confusion in divorce is not neutral, it is expensive * Why vague agreements do not create flexibility, they create conflict * How emotional decision making during divorce leads to long-term consequences that people did not anticipate, and the one question Susan wants every listener to ask themselves before agreeing to anything * Why not thinking about the beyond is one of the biggest drivers of future problems, and how to make sure your agreement is built to support your future, not just end your marriage

Two of Susan Guthrie's greatest passions, divorce and family law, and the world of AI, come together in this episode, and the result is something truly powerful.
Post-separation abuse is something far too many people experience, but the legal system still struggles to understand. Many people assume that once someone leaves an abusive relationship, the danger is over. But in reality, the abuse often changes form. It can show up as litigation abuse, weaponized communication, or ongoing coercive control that leaves survivors feeling like they are still walking on eggshells, even in family court.
Susan is joined by Anne Wintemute, co-founder and CEO of AimeeSays, an AI tool built specifically to support survivors of relationship abuse. AimeeSays helps survivors document their experiences, identify patterns of coercive control, and organize their story in a way that professionals and courts can actually understand. This is the bridge that has been missing.
What You Will Learn* Why the legal system tends to focus on isolated incidents rather than patterns of behavior, and why that gap can be so damaging for survivors * How documenting patterns of coercive control, rather than individual incidents, can change the way a story is received in court * Why survivors often struggle to tell their story clearly, and how trauma directly impacts testimony * How AI technology is helping survivors organize their experiences and communicate what they have lived through in ways that courts and professionals can actually understand * Why legal professionals need to know about tools like AimeeSays and how it can help them help their clients
Golden Nuggets* Leaving an abusive relationship does not always end the abuse. For many survivors, the abuse simply changes form, often showing up as litigation abuse, coercive control, and weaponized communication during and after divorce. * One of the greatest challenges survivors face in family court is that the system tends to look for isolated incidents, while abuse often exists as a pattern of behavior over time. Being able to document those patterns clearly can make an enormous difference in how a story is understood. * Technology may finally be helping to bridge that gap. Tools like AimeeSays are helping survivors organize their experiences, recognize patterns, and communicate what they have been living through in ways that courts and professionals can better understand.

When most people think about divorce, they picture the legal process. They imagine paperwork, lawyers, and courtrooms. But the reality is that divorce often begins long before any legal step is taken.
In this episode, Susan Guthrie sits down with Erin Levine, founder of Hello Divorce, to talk about the stage of divorce that almost no one talks about: the years of uncertainty before a decision is ever made.
For many people, the hardest part of divorce is not the legal process itself. It is the emotional limbo that happens beforehand. The sleepless nights. The constant questioning. The fear about what life might look like on the other side.
Susan and Erin explore why so many people spend years wrestling with the decision to leave a marriage, what happens emotionally during that time, and how having the right information and support can dramatically change the experience.
If you are currently wondering whether to stay or go, this episode will help you understand that what you are feeling is incredibly common and that there are ways to move forward with more clarity and less fear.
What You Will Learn• Why many people contemplate divorce for three to five years before taking action
• Why the emotional uncertainty before divorce can be the most exhausting stage
• How lack of information often keeps people stuck in limbo
• Why most divorces do not need to become courtroom battles
• How mediation and other structured processes can help families move through divorce more constructively
• Why preparation and clarity can dramatically change divorce outcomes
Key Takeaways from This ConversationThe Hidden Stage of DivorceDivorce often begins years before anyone files paperwork. Many people spend long periods quietly struggling with whether their marriage can be saved or whether it is time to move on.
Living in Uncertainty Is Emotionally DrainingThe constant question of whether to stay or leave can take an enormous emotional toll. By the time someone actually moves forward with divorce, they may already feel mentally and emotionally exhausted.
Information Creates ClarityFear thrives in uncertainty. When people begin learning about their options and understanding the divorce process, they are able to make decisions from a place of knowledge rather than panic.
Divorce Does Not Have to Be a WarMany couples are able to resolve their divorce through mediation or negotiated agreements outside of court. Understanding these options can significantly reduce conflict and stress.
Golden Nuggets from This Episode• Divorce itself is often not what breaks people. It is the years of uncertainty leading up to the decision.
• Many people live in emotional limbo for years before they ever speak to a professional about divorce.
• When people have access to information and structured support, they are far more likely to resolve their divorce outside of court.
• Preparation and clarity allow people to approach divorce more thoughtfully and with less fear.
• Divorce does not have to be a battle. With the right guidance, it can be a transition toward a healthier future.

When people talk about gray divorce, the conversation usually focuses on the couple: finances, retirement, and starting over later in life. But there is another group deeply affected by these late in life separations that often goes overlooked: adult children.
The divorce rate for couples over 50 has more than doubled in recent decades, and as more long term marriages end later in life, families are navigating a transition many never expected. Even when children are fully grown, the divorce of their parents can reshape family dynamics, create loyalty conflicts, and disrupt long standing family roles.
In this episode of the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Carol Hughes, co author of the groundbreaking book Home Will Never Be the Same Again. Carol first joined the podcast in 2021 with co author Bruce Fredenburg to discuss their research on adult children of gray divorce. She returns to share updated insights from both research and real world experiences about how adult children are affected when their parents divorce later in life.
Together, Susan and Carol explore why gray divorce can be more emotionally disruptive for adult children than many parents realize, the common mistakes parents unintentionally make during this transition, and the powerful ways families can protect relationships even as the family structure changes.
This is an essential conversation for anyone navigating divorce after 50, adult children trying to understand their parents’ separation, or professionals working with families where gray divorce is reshaping the entire family system.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode• Why gray divorce affects the entire family, not just the couple
• How loyalty conflicts can place adult children in painful and inappropriate roles
• Why feeling unheard is one of the leading causes of estrangement between parents and adult children after divorce
• How empathy, healthy boundaries, and thoughtful communication can help protect family relationships

Time is supposed to heal everything. But for the millions of people navigating divorce after betrayal, that promise falls flat. They're functioning, managing the kids, showing up to work, doing all the things, and still carrying the weight of something that happened years, sometimes decades, ago. Fine, it turns out, is not the same as healed.
In this powerful episode, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and author of the new book Unstuck:The Practitioner's Guide to Moving Betrayal Clients from Survival to Transformation. Together, they unpack why so many people who have experienced betrayal, whether infidelity, financial deception, or the shattering of expectations that comes with divorce itself, get trapped in a cycle that looks like survival but feels like anything but living. Dr. Debi's research, drawn from over 100,000 people tested, reveals that healing from betrayal is not just possible. It is predictable.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever asked, "Why am I still not over this?" Whether you are in the middle of a divorce, just discovering a betrayal, or years out and still feeling its grip, the lessons in this episode apply. It is also essential listening for the legal professionals, coaches, therapists, and mediators who want to understand what is truly going on beneath the surface.
What You’ll Learn Betrayal in divorce is not just about infidelity. It is a collapse of trust on every level * How Post Betrayal Syndrome keeps people physically, mentally, and emotionally stuck long after the relationship has ended * The five proven, predictable stages of betrayal recovery and why most people unknowingly park in Stage Three * Why self-trust is the real wound of betrayal and how rebuilding it through boundaries, intuition, and small kept promises is where healing actually begins * How the Window of Willingness reveals whether the person who betrayed you is genuinely doing the work, and what that means for your path forward * Why transformation does not begin until Stage Four and how Dr. Debi's new book Unstuck* gives practitioners a roadmap for guiding betrayal clients all the way through, not just to fine
About the Guest Dr. Debi Silber, Founder and CEO of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day, is an award-winning speaker and 2-time #1 International bestselling author. Her podcast, From Betrayal to Breakthrough, ranks in the top 1.5% globally. Her groundbreaking PhD study revealed 3 discoveries that completely revolutionized our understanding of betrayal-and how to achieve full healing physically, mentally, and emotionally. Creator of the world's #1 betrayal recovery certification for life, business, health, and leadership coaches, Dr. Debi equips practitioners globally with her evidence-based framework so they can deliver exponentially better results with their existing clients. Featured on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, and TEDx (twice), she equips practitioners with the missing framework-helping them move from uncertainty to confidence, from using general tools that keep clients stuck to specialized approaches that create genuine transformation.

Divorce does not always change living arrangements overnight. Many couples file for divorce, expect everything to shift, and then walk back into the same home… with the same routines… and often even more tension than before. Living under the same roof after deciding a marriage is over can quickly become emotionally volatile if it is not handled intentionally.
That is why Susan Guthrie welcomes back divorce and co-parenting coach Jenny Stevens. Together, they break down what it really takes to live under the same roof while divorcing, including how to create boundaries, communicate without escalating, and protect your emotional stability during a phase that can feel like navigating a daily minefield.
This conversation explores the practical realities of cohabiting during divorce and why structure, communication, and intentional boundaries are essential to getting through this transitional period without creating additional conflict or long-term damage.
What You’ll Learn* Living together during divorce becomes more manageable when you accept it as a practical reality and approach it with intentional planning, clear communication, and emotional awareness. * Structure protects stability by creating clear boundaries, defined household expectations, and consistent communication that reduces conflict. * Shifting mentally from partners to roommates helps lower emotional intensity and makes daily interactions more functional and less reactive. * Small triggers are less likely to escalate when boundaries are clear and communication stays respectful and intentional. * Viewing this phase as temporary helps you stay focused on moving through it with stability and clarity instead of creating unnecessary long term damage.
About the GuestJenny Stevens is a divorce and life transition coach known as The Champion of Change. Based in Chicago and working with clients nationwide, she helps individuals navigate divorce, co-parenting, and major life transitions with clarity and confidence.
With a Master’s in Professional Counseling, advanced training in conflict management and communication, and mediation training from Northwestern University, Jenny brings both clinical insight and real-world strategy to her work. She specializes in helping clients establish healthy boundaries, improve communication, and move through change in a way that protects their well-being and their children.

Susan Guthrie welcomes special guest Michelle Farris for a powerful conversation about codependency, the hidden dynamic beneath many struggling relationships. Michelle is a licensed psychotherapist, codependency expert, and anger management specialist. Together, they explore what codependency really is, why it often begins in childhood, and how it can quietly shape both a marriage and the way a divorce unfolds.
Susan and Michelle unpack the patterns of overgiving, overfunctioning, and self-sacrifice that leave so many people depleted and resentful, often without fully understanding why. They also explore why anger can erupt during divorce, how long-standing relationship patterns repeat when left unexamined, and what it takes to begin building boundaries and self-trust moving forward.
This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone who feels stuck in one-sided relationships, struggles to say no, or wonders why they keep giving more than they receive. It offers an honest, practical look at how recognizing codependency can change not only your divorce, but everything that comes after it.
What You’ll Learn* Codependency is not about kindness. It is a pattern of overfunctioning to feel secure, often leaving you exhausted and resentful * Why anger during divorce is often stored pain from years of saying yes when you meant no, and how to channel it constructively * The difference between being nice and being clear, and why self-advocacy is essential for a healthy divorce process * How overgiving, avoiding conflict, or agreeing too quickly can cost you emotionally and financially during divorce * Why identifying your boundaries, triggers, and non-negotiables is key to approaching divorce from a grounded and empowered place
About the GuestMichelle Farris is a psychotherapist, codependency expert, and anger management specialist with a passion for helping people break free from codependent patterns and manage emotions with confidence. She's been featured in several online publications and podcasts, known for her down-to-earth approach and expertise. Through her online courses and digital resources, she teaches practical tools for codependency recovery, emotional regulation, self-trust, and lasting relationship success.

Divorce season is in full swing, and for many listeners, that means overwhelm, fear, and financial uncertainty. Susan Guthrie welcomes back two of her favorite returning experts, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan of My Divorce Solution, to talk about what truly matters in the earliest days of divorce: financial clarity before legal action.
Divorce may be a legal process, but in the beginning, it feels emotional and financial. Fear can drive rushed decisions. Anger can fuel unnecessary conflict. And too often, people hire attorneys before they understand what they actually own, owe, or need. Karen and Catherine specialize in helping individuals slow down, gather the facts, and understand what is truly in the marital “pie” before anyone starts slicing it up.
Through their structured preparation platform and signature MDS Financial Portrait™, they help people turn panic into power and confusion into confidence. This conversation is about avoiding early mistakes, preventing unnecessary legal costs, and building a foundation that supports smart, informed decisions from day one.
What You’ll Learn* Why divorce should often begin with financial clarity, not immediate legal action * How emotional agreements like “you keep the house, I’ll keep my retirement” can create long-term financial damage * What really happens when couples rely on spreadsheets without full documentation * The difference between financial literacy and financial empowerment during divorce * How understanding the financial impact of decisions allows you to pivot confidently during negotiations * Why assembling the right professional team depends on first understanding the complexity of your financial picture

Dating again in midlife can stir up a mix of curiosity, hope, and very real hesitation. After divorce, it’s not just about meeting someone new, it’s about trusting your instincts and believing that love can feel different this time. Susan Guthrie welcomes back one of Divorce & Beyond’s most trusted and favorite guests, Bela Gandhi, for an honest, encouraging conversation about what it truly takes to move from fear to confidence when dating again in midlife.
Known as America’s go-to dating coach and beloved by the Divorce & Beyond community, Bela brings warmth, optimism, and refreshingly practical wisdom to a chapter that often feels overwhelming. Together, Susan and Bela unpack why midlife dating can actually be better than ever, how to stop repeating old patterns that no longer serve you, and what smart, intentional dating looks like when you’re choosing differently and more consciously this time around.
What You’ll Learn* Why fear around dating after divorce is normal * How those “rollercoaster butterflies” are usually a sign of anxiety, not chemistry, and how to recognize calm as a healthier sign of compatibility * How dating today offers more options, visibility, and agency than ever before, especially for midlife daters * Why confidence in dating comes from having a clear plan, not luck, timing, or instant sparks * How slowing down and allowing connection to develop over time leads to better long-term outcomes
About the Guest Bela Gandhi is a dating/relationship expert, TEDx speaker, founder of Smart Dating AcademyÒ and has been featured on most national/local media outlets including Good Morning America, Steve Harvey, the Today Show, Kelly Clarkson, Access, ABC, NBC, Fox, and more.
Bela realized her gift for love when she was in college and started matchmaking and coaching her friends – watching them sail on to relationship bliss and marriage. Using her own system, Bela found her own amazing husband of over 20 years, and in 2009, founded Smart Dating AcademyÒ. Smart Dating Academy teaches singles all over the globe the Smart DatingÒ four phase system – 1) Preparing to Date, 2) Dating, 3) Exclusivity and 4) Happily Ever After. They specialize in VIP 1:1 coaching, and with clients that have followed their system, they’ve had ‘zero divorces.’ They help singles to ‘fix their pickers’ because their coaches are deep in the weeds with clients, helping read profiles, message, and rate each date after it happens – she makes dating fun, easy and successful!
Before starting Smart Dating Academy, Bela earned dual degrees in Finance and German from the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign. Bela worked in mergers and acquisitions for Arthur Andersen in Chicago for a year before joining her family's chemicals manufacturing company (called CCC), where she divided her time between Chicago and Europe helping to expand the business. When they sold the business to Fortune 500 company Akzo Nobel, she was asked to remain its leader and became Akzo Nobel Non-Stick Coating’s Global Vice President of Housewares. While climbing the corporate ladder, she realized it was time to unveil her system to the world, and it was her best decision ever.
Bela lives in Lincoln Park with her husband Andy and 2 children, Jaden and Max, and is going to be an empty nester next year!

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, whom she first met when they were both featured on the Oprah Podcast in a powerful conversation about gray divorce. Maryjane appeared alongside her adult daughter, and their story stood out for its honesty, depth, and the grace with which Maryjane navigated this life-altering transition.
Together, Susan and Maryjane explore what it truly takes to move through gray divorce with intention, emotional awareness, and integrity. They discuss why gray divorce can feel especially destabilizing, particularly when it arrives unexpectedly, and how the losses extend far beyond the marriage itself. The conversation dives into grief, identity shifts, nervous system overwhelm, and the invisible emotional labor women carry as they work to hold themselves and their families together during profound change.
This is not a conversation about quick fixes. It is about honoring loss, building emotional safety, and discovering what gray divorce can give back on the other side.
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.

📝 Rituals for Grief in Gray Divorce: Why Closure Matters
In this companion article, Susan explores why gray divorce requires more than legal resolution. It requires emotional closure. Drawing from this conversation, she explains how intentional rituals, such as marking the end of a marriage, leaving a longtime home, or acknowledging decades of shared life, can help the nervous system process loss and support healing during profound transition.
You’ll also find a simple, downloadable resource designed to help you reflect on what closure might look like for you.

It was never about the dishes…
It’s about mental load, invisible labor, and power inside modern marriage.
To dig into why so many women feel this strain inside their marriages, Susan Guthrie is joined by Kate Anthony, a globally recognized divorce coach, feminist thought leader, and the author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. Kate is also the creator and host of the top-ranked Divorce Survival Guide Podcast.
Together, Susan and Kate talk candidly about how deeply ingrained expectations still shape modern relationships, often in ways people don’t recognize until the damage is done. They explore why patriarchy harms women while also isolating men, what real partnership actually looks like in practice, and how patterns like deflection, denial, and quietly erode trust over time. The conversation also addresses the very real impact these dynamics have on women’s emotional and physical safety, and why naming them clearly can be a powerful first step toward change.
What You’ll Learn* How mental load becomes a proxy for deeper issues of power, responsibility, and respect * How patriarchy shapes modern marriage in ways that harm women while also isolating men and fueling resentment * What real partnership looks like in practice and why occasional help is not the same as shared ownership * What it often means when one partner says they were “blindsided” by divorce and how invisible labor plays a role * Why naming these dynamics clearly can be a critical first step toward safety, clarity, and meaningful change

For many people quietly navigating divorce season, one question lingers beneath the surface:
Is this just a rough season, or is this relationship truly over?
In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie sits down with renowned psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Mann to explore how to tell the difference, and why clarity, not guilt, is often the most caring path forward.
Inspired by Dr. Jenn’s widely shared insight, “Not every relationship is meant to be saved,” this conversation goes far beyond the familiar stay-or-leave debate. Together, Susan and Dr. Jenn examine how therapy can sometimes help repair a marriage and other times provide the clarity needed to trust yourself enough to let go.
They discuss the emotional cost of staying too long, the deal breakers people often rationalize away, and why ending a marriage can be an act of courage and strength rather than failure.
This is a compassionate, nuanced conversation for anyone questioning what comes next.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode* How to tell the difference between a rough season and a relationship that has truly run its course * Why therapy is not always about fixing the marriage, but often about gaining clarity * The deal breakers people ignore for years, including emotional unavailability and refusal to seek help * Why “staying for the kids” is far more complex than it sounds and what children actually absorb * How leaving a marriage can build confidence, resilience, and deeper self-trust
About the GuestDr. Jenn Mann is one of the most widely recognized psychotherapists in the country, with nearly three decades of clinical experience as a licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist (LMFT).
She is best known as the longtime host and therapist on VH1’s hit series Couples Therapy with Dr. Jenn and Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn, and has appeared as a trusted expert on hundreds of television programs, including The Today Show, Dr. Oz, The Wendy Williams Show, The Doctors, Steve Harvey, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

You signed the divorce agreement. You thought it was over.
But for many people, the real problems begin after the ink dries, when they discover that what they negotiated is not actually enforceable.
In this essential episode of Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by Kelly Lise Murray, a nationally recognized legal scholar whose work focuses on what happens when divorce settlements fall apart in real life, particularly in cases involving homes, mortgages, retirement assets, and complex property divisions.
This conversation is especially important during divorce season, when many listeners are early in the process and assuming that reaching agreement automatically means protection. It does not.
What You’ll Learn Why a signed divorce agreement does not guarantee you will receive what you were promised * How enforcement failures leave people owed money or assets they never receive * Why homes and retirement accounts are the highest-risk areas in divorce settlements * How missing deadlines and contingencies quietly undermine agreements * The questions you should ask your lawyer before* signing anything
About the GuestProf. Kelly Murray, J.D. is a legal scholar, former law professor, and serial entrepreneur advancing Realty Asset Dispute Resolution nationwide.
She earned her undergraduate degree Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University and her law degree cum laude from Harvard Law School, and served for 18 years as faculty at a Top 20 U.S. law school.
Kelly is the Lead Investigator and Faculty Member for the National Family Court Project on Housing and Financial Justice, where her work focuses on preserving homeownership eligibility and financial stability in family disputes, including divorce, trusts, elder law, and probate matters.
Her expertise is grounded in real litigated cases involving enforcement failures, not theory. She is also the host of the Wealth Litigated Podcast.

It is Divorce Day. January 5, 2026. And if you are listening on the day this episode drops, divorce is everywhere. It is on the news, across social media, whispered in conversations, and quietly sitting in the background for many people as the holidays come to an end.
Here is a simple truth: Divorce Day creates more noise than clarity. This episode is designed to help you slow down, get oriented, and understand what actually matters on Day One.
In fact, after more than three decades as a divorce attorney and mediator, Susan Guthrie knows this truth better than anyone: Advice is loud. Opinions are everywhere. Much of what circulates today is designed to provoke urgency, fear, or dramatic action.
The biggest mistake people make on Divorce Day is believing this day requires action. It does not. What it requires is understanding.
In this grounded, compassionate solo episode, Susan walks listeners through the five things you need to know on Day One, sharing the foundational truths that separate people who navigate divorce intentionally from those who spend years undoing a rushed beginning.
If divorce is on your mind today, this episode offers clarity, steadiness, and permission to pause.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: * Why Divorce Day is about readiness, not action, and how confusing the two leads to regret rather than relief. * Why information must come before strategy, and how accurate, jurisdiction-specific knowledge calms fear and prevents avoidable mistakes. * How the way divorce begins shapes everything that follows, including tone, communication, and long-term outcomes. * Why divorce is not one decision but a series of decisions, and how choosing how you decide matters more than deciding everything at once. * Why your divorce team matters more than you think, and how choosing the wrong professionals early can cost years of stress and unnecessary expense.
MORE SUPPORT:
If today’s episode resonated with you, Susan has also written a companion blog article titled Before You Say Anything: The Conversations That Can Make or Break Your Divorce, which explores why the earliest conversations often shape the entire divorce process. We have paired it with a free downloadable guide, Before You Say Anything: A Divorce Conversation Prep Guide, designed to help you slow down, choose your words intentionally, and protect your options before anything is filed. You can find them on the website at https://divorceandbeyondpod.com/Blog
MENTIONED EPISODES:
The Divorce & Beyond episode archive is designed to support you at the very beginning of this process, when questions feel overwhelming and clarity feels out of reach and as you move through your divorce journey.
Inside the archive, you will find conversations like:
- Divorce Triage: Who to Call First and How to Build the Right Support Team with Susan Guthrie
- ”We Need to Talk:” How to Have the Most Difficult Conversation of Your Life with Kate Anthony

It is the quiet week between Christmas and New Year’s. The guests have gone home, the adrenaline has worn off, and you are likely left with a heavy realization: The holidays didn’t fix it.
If you are currently Googling "how to get a divorce" or secretly looking up attorneys while your spouse is in the other room, you are not alone. Next Monday, January 5th, is known in the legal industry as "Divorce Day," where inquiries skyrocket by 25%.
But before you make a call that you cannot unmake, Susan Guthrie has a message for you: Stop. Just breathe.
In this urgent and deeply practical solo episode, Susan reveals why the "smartest people" wait until March to file, and exactly what they do in January instead. Drawing on 35 years of practice, she breaks down the "Broken Promise" theory, the danger of the "New Year's Resolution Bomb," and why urgency is the enemy of a good divorce.
If you are feeling the pressure to act, this episode is your permission slip to pause, plan, and protect your future before you ever step foot in a courtroom.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
- The "Broken Promise" Theory: Why the holidays amplify marital cracks rather than fixing them.
- The January vs. March Strategy: Why amateurs rush to file in January, while strategists use the month for "vetting and verification".
- The 3 Critical Questions: What you must ask yourself before you hire a professional (hint: do you know the "business reality" of your marriage?).
- The "First Responder" Rule: Why your first call should almost never be to a lawyer—and who you should call instead.
- The Financial Reality Check: The sobering statistic about the 41% drop in household income for women post-divorce and how to prevent it.
- Mistakes to Avoid: Why hiring a "shark" out of fear is the fastest way to burn through $30,000+.

As Divorce & Beyond closes out 2025, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Trina Nudson for a powerful bookend conversation exploring BeAligned, a revolutionary AI-powered reflection platform designed to help parents regulate emotions, interrupt the cycle of conflict, and problem-solve with their children’s wellbeing at the center.
BeAligned is not another communication app, and it is not about getting co-parents to agree or behave perfectly. Instead, Trina explains how the platform meets parents where they are, supports emotional regulation in real time, and helps interrupt the conflict cycles that so often take over co-parenting relationships.
Susan and Trina also explore how even one parent can shift the entire family dynamic, why co-parenting is about awareness rather than perfection, and how using technology intentionally can make co-parenting easier during emotionally charged moments.
Why This Conversation MattersCo-parenting is hard even in intact families. Add divorce, grief, fear, and conflict, and it can feel overwhelming. Many parents know what they should do but struggle to access those tools in the moment when emotions take over.
This conversation matters because BeAligned acknowledges the reality of human emotions and provides support in real time. It helps parents step out of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, see the bigger picture, and create solutions that protect childhoods without relying on blame, shame, or court intervention.
You Will Learn:* Why it only takes one parent to shift the co-parenting dynamic * Why co-parenting is not about perfection, but about awareness and regulation * How BeAligned helps parents move from reaction to alignment and interrupt the cycle of conflict * How technology can support calmer communication without replacing attorneys, therapists, or coaches * Why focusing on children’s needs changes everything
Special Offer from Trina Nudson and BeAligned:
Trina is generously offering Divorce & Beyond listeners 90 days of free access to BeAligned using code BEYOND. No credit card required. You’ll get full access to the platform’s reflection tools and support resources, and an invitation to share feedback that helps improve and expand its impact.
Visit http://BeAligned.app to get started.
About the Guest: Trina Nudson is a family law attorney, mediator, court-appointed guardian ad litem, child advocate, Certified Divorce Coach® (CDC®), Divorce Coaching Academy® graduate (DCA®), and Licensed Bachelor Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience in the trenches of high-conflict co-parenting and family systems.
She is the founder of The Layne Project, owner of My Child Advocate, PA, and the creator of the evidence-based BeH2O® co-parenting system and BeAligned™, an AI-powered reflection platform that helps parents move from reaction to alignment.
Across thousands of cases, Trina has worked alongside judges, attorneys, therapists, and schools to center children’s wellbeing while helping parents navigate some of the hardest seasons of their lives. Her mission is simple and non-negotiable: safeguarding childhoods by helping adults show up with clarity, steadiness, and purpose—especially when it’s hard.

Divorce can feel like you’re unravelling from the inside out, and today Dr. Beth Karassik and Louise Zito, Esq. join Susan E. Guthrie to explain why and how you can regain your emotional footing.
If you’re overwhelmed, scared, or emotionally flooded in the middle of divorce, there is a scientific reason for it and there are ways to steady yourself, even when everything around you feels chaotic. In this powerful conversation, Susan Guthrie is joined by clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist Dr. Beth Karassik and longtime mediator and collaborative professional Louise Zito, Esq. to break down what’s happening in your brain and body during divorce and share practical tools for restoring calm, clarity, and control.
Together, they help you understand why your reactions feel so big, why everyday decisions suddenly feel impossible, and what you can do right now to support your nervous system through one of the most destabilizing experiences of your life. Plus, for legal practitioners, discover how Beth and Louise’s work can help you re-align, re-center, and rein in the chaos of divorce work.
Why This Conversation MattersWhen you’re navigating divorce without understanding what’s happening in your nervous system, it’s easy to blame yourself, question your decisions, or feel like you’re failing. But the truth is this: divorce places an extraordinary cognitive and emotional load on you.
When you know why you’re reacting the way you are and you have tools that actually help you communicate more effectively, you make better choices, and you’re able to protect your well-being through every stage of the process.
And for the professionals who support divorcing individuals, understanding these emotional dynamics (and tending to their own regulation) directly affects their ability to guide clients forward. A grounded professional creates a grounded process, leading to healthier outcomes for everyone involved.
This conversation supports both sides of the experience: the people living through divorce and the practitioners walking beside them.
You Will Learn:* Why divorce triggers fear, confusion, and emotional flooding * How stress impacts communication, decision-making, and co-parenting * Signs that your overwhelm is actually a trauma response * Practical grounding tools you can use today * Scripts for setting emotional boundaries during conflict * How to build a support system that keeps you steady * Why the emotional health of your divorce professional affects your experience * Insight into the Calma Collective Retreat supporting divorce professionals

Susan Guthrie welcomes two extraordinary guests whose combined perspectives offer something rarely seen in the world of divorce. Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq., returns to the show alongside author Matthew A. Tower, whose new book Love Wars: Clash of the Parentsgives listeners an unprecedented inside look at what high-conflict divorce feels like through the eyes of a child. Together, their insights reveal the emotional reality children carry, the predictable patterns behind high-conflict behaviors, and the steps parents can take to protect their kids from the fallout.
Love Wars follows Matthew’s journey from ages six to eleven as he navigated two volatile households, emotional unpredictability, parentification, negative advocates, and the relentless pressure to choose sides. His story is raw, illuminating, and at times difficult to hear, yet it is also deeply important. Bill helps contextualize Matthew’s lived experience through High Conflict Personality Theory and offers guidance parents and professionals can use immediately. This conversation is a powerful companion to Bill’s book Splitting and the perfect next step for anyone committed to changing the emotional climate for their children.
Why This Conversation MattersHigh-conflict divorce leaves a lasting imprint on children, but the full internal experience is almost never visible to parents, courts, or professionals. Matthew’s story pulls back the curtain on what children absorb, what they fear, how they cope, and why the conflict shapes them long after the legal case is over.
Bill explains how splitting, emotional volatility, and personality-driven dynamics create confusion, fear, and reactivity for children who do not yet have the capacity to regulate intense emotions. He also highlights why professionals often miss what is really happening, and how parents can change the trajectory by lowering conflict, creating predictability, and becoming the steady emotional anchor their children desperately need.
Together, Bill and Matthew offer clarity, compassion, and a path forward for families caught in high-conflict cycles.
In this episode, you will learn:* What children internalize during high-conflict divorce and why they absorb the emotional intensity around them * Why parentification is so damaging and how children become emotional caregivers when adults are dysregulated * How high-conflict parents recruit negative advocates and why these dynamics intensify the conflict * Why kids shut down, freeze, or dissociate when the emotional environment becomes overwhelming * How calm, consistent adults like Matthew’s stepmother Holly can become a lifeline * What courts and professionals often overlook when evaluating children’s preferences or resistance * What parents can do right now to lower reactivity, reduce conflict, and create safety for their children

Are you secretly wondering if you hired the wrong divorce lawyer, but feel too far in, too scared, or too overwhelmed to do anything about it?
You are not the only one. Listeners write in every week saying things like, “I hired someone in a panic and now I feel stuck,” or “I feel dismissed, but I am afraid to change attorneys midstream.”
In this solo episode, Susan uses more than thirty five years of experience as a leading divorce attorney and mediator to give you a clear framework for how to choose, evaluate, and, if necessary, replace your lawyer so you can move through your divorce with more confidence and less chaos.
You will learn:
- Why so many people “panic hire” the wrong attorney in the early days of divorce
- How a good divorce coach can help you get grounded before you hire anyone
- The key questions to ask in an attorney consultation so you can spot a real fit
- Red flags that your current lawyer may not be serving your goals or values
- When the problem is the system, not your attorney
- How to have a reset conversation and, if needed, make a clean, professional change
Susan has also created a free downloadable checklist with the questions and red flags she covers in the episode. DOWNLOAD HERE
If you are confused about your attorney client relationship or worried you made the wrong choice, this episode will help you understand your options and take back your power in your own case.

We’re talking all about Hulu’s new hit All’s Fair and its glossy world of powerhouse, all-female divorce attorneys. The show is everywhere right now, but how much of it reflects what really happens in high-stakes family law?
Susan Guthrie is joined by two of the most trusted experts in the field, Beth F. McCormack and Kimberly A. Cook, Esq., to break down what the series gets right, where it leans into pure Hollywood, and what it leaves out entirely about the real work of guiding families through divorce.
If you’ve been wondering whether All’s Fair captures the truth or just the drama, this episode gives you the inside view.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode
- Where All’s Fair nails the reality of female attorneys breaking away to build something better
- What the show gets wrong about divorce law and why those myths can mislead real clients
- How strategy and preparation matter far more than the aggressive “never settle” persona
- “Adding a zero” isn’t how settlements actually work
- Why representation in legal dramas matters and how this show misses key opportunities to get it right

Susan Guthrie welcomes back Tracy Malone, a leading expert on narcissistic abuse and family estrangement, for a raw and eye-opening conversation about one of the most painful aftermaths of toxic relationships: being cut off from your own child (aka estrangement).
When estrangement happens, it can feel like your world has been shattered overnight. Tracy, founder of NarcissistAbuseSupport.com and author of Estranged By Lies: How Narcissistic Partners Use Power & Control To Destroy Your Family, helps unpack how manipulation, gaslighting, and control tactics can fracture families and rewrite history in devastating ways.

Susan Guthrie welcomes Patrick Kilbane, J.D., CDFA®, partner at Ullman Wealth Partners and Director of the Divorce Advisory Group, to talk about one of the most overlooked but critical phases of divorce: what happens to your finances after the papers are signed.
Instead of stopping at the settlement, Patrick shows you how to step into your financial “2.0” with confidence. We talk about creating clarity around your monthly cashflow, setting up systems to cover everyday expenses, and simplifying your accounts so they’re easy to manage. Patrick also shares how to plan ahead during the divorce, not just after, so you negotiate with your future in mind.
You’ll hear practical strategies for rebuilding credit, organizing your retirement and investment accounts, making smart housing decisions, and avoiding costly mistakes that can derail your long-term security.
Patrick’s decades of experience as both an attorney and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst make this a must-listen for anyone ready to move beyond survival mode and build a strong, strategic financial foundation for the next chapter of life.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode* How to recognize when it’s time to shift from divorce survival to planning your independent future * Simple steps to clarify monthly cashflow and set up systems to cover bills and savings * Why involving a financial advisor before settlement helps you plan smarter and avoid gaps * How strategic planning beyond the settlement sets you up for lasting stability and confidence

Before joining our firm, Pat built a successful legal career in matrimonial and family law, serving as a Shareholder at two respected statewide firms—GrayRobinson, P.A. and Rogers Towers, P.A.—in Jacksonville.

Susan Guthrie welcomes back three powerhouse professionals to Divorce & Beyond for part two of a very special series that turns the billion-dollar divorce playbook into practical strategies you can use in your own divorce, no matter your net worth.
Together, Michelle Smith, Beth McCormack, and Jenny Stevens make up what Susan calls the Billion Dollar Dream Team. Between them, they bring decades of experience guiding clients through some of the most complex, high-stakes divorces in the country. From untangling billion-dollar assets to protecting children’s well-being to helping clients stay grounded in the storm, this team delivers legal, financial, and emotional strategies that can benefit anyone facing divorce.
In part one, we pulled back the curtain on what divorce looks like when billions of dollars are at stake: the unique challenges, the strategies, and the inside perspective that only comes from decades of experience handling ultra-high-net-worth cases. The lessons from those cases aren’t just for billionaires.
This week, in part two, we’re taking those big-dollar insights and showing you how they apply to your divorce, no matter your net worth or no matter where you are in the process.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode* How to trust your gut when choosing the professionals on your dream team * Why knowing the true cost of your life is essential for smart financial decisions * The power of defining priorities and fears early to shape your legal strategy * Why emotional healing often takes longer than the legal process and how to honor that timeline

Susan Guthrie welcomes Valerie Jones, author of The Selfish Year, to share a radically different perspective on what it means to put yourself first after divorce. Valerie’s story of going from broke, divorced, stay-at-home mom to thriving six-figure entrepreneur began with one powerful decision: to be selfish. In this conversation, she redefines selfishness as being “full of self” and shows how embracing it can become the gateway to healing, clarity, and abundance.
As this episode highlights, “selfish” is a word most women have been conditioned to fear. Yet, as Valerie explains, choosing yourself isn’t only allowed: it’s essential. Her journey and strategies offer inspiration and practical steps for anyone navigating divorce or life transitions.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode Why selfish is not arrogance but becoming “full of self” instead of self-less * How small, daily acts of selfishness create transformation * The importance of saying no, setting boundaries, and breaking free from people-pleasing patterns * Valerie’s “selfish strategies” that help you reconnect with your intuition, reclaim your power, and act as if you love yourself*
More About Our Special Guest, Valerie Jones: Valerie Jones is the author of The Selfish Year (remeased September 3, 2025), host of The Selfish Woman podcast, and founder of The Selfish Woman movement, a global collective of women rising into their power and claiming the life they deserve. A thought leader in midlife reinvention and the sacred rebellion of women daring to put themselves first, Valerie is redefining what it means to be selfish. Her work helps women ditch the good girl conditioning, stop performing for approval, and step unapologetically into desire, self-trust, and overflow. Through her bold storytelling, viral social media presence, and fast-growing global community, she is leading a new era for women who are ready to stop surviving and start shining — without apology.

Dr. Justine Weber joins Susan Guthrie to share what it really looks like to navigate a relationship with someone who exhibits narcissistic or high-conflict behavior - from the moment someone starts questioning things to the long road of healing on the other side.
Together, Susan and Justine walk through the five stages of divorcing a narcissist, from the first signs of doubt to post-divorce healing. Whether a listener is thinking about leaving, stuck in the thick of it, or still reeling years after the divorce, Justine offers insights for every stage. As both a therapist and coach, she’s helped countless individuals move from confusion and survival mode to clarity and stability.

Justine also shares guidance on supporting children through the chaos and what it takes to rebuild life after abuse. This episode is a reminder that no one has to do it alone, and they shouldn’t. Justine’s tips, contact information, and downloadable resource are all linked in the show notes.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Document everything - privately and securely - to stay grounded and protect yourself.
- Don’t leave impulsively. Build a plan, gather support, and consult professionals first.
- Ask attorneys about handling manipulation, not labels like “narcissist.”
- Be the calm, safe parent your kids can count on—listen, don’t gaslight.
- Healing is possible, but you can’t do it alone. Support and strategy make all the difference.

Social media can be an incredible space for support and connection, but when it comes to divorce, it’s also packed with advice that sounds empowering but can actually do real damage.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Why even friendly divorces need legal review, because templates aren’t enough
- The real risks of social media announcements and glow-up posts

In this must-listen archived episode Susan Guthrie, Esq. is joined by Professor Stephanie Tang to unpack one of the most talked-about, and misunderstood, topics in family court: the “best interests of the child” standard.
Listeners often ask what this phrase actually means when it comes to custody decisions, and as Susan and Professor Tang explore, it’s far more nuanced than most realize.
From the wide-ranging factors judges consider to the pivotal role of judicial discretion, Professor Tang explains why this seemingly simple concept is actually one of the most complex aspects of family law.
Whether you're a parent navigating custody, a legal professional, or just curious about how the courts operate, this episode offers a thoughtful, eye-opening perspective you won't want to miss.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Where the “best interests of the child” standard originated
- Family court considerations of factors related to custody hearings
- What judges look at when it comes to a child’s professed wishes
- Stephanie answers, “Can a parent request a change to custodial orders over time if they don’t agree with the best interests of children's determination?”
- Does the bearing of what a parent wants come into play?
More About Our Special Guest, Stephanie Tang: Stephanie L. Tang is an Assistant Professor of Law at Baylor Law School, teaching Family Law. Before joining Baylor, Professor Tang was a Partner at a family law firm in Chicago, where she specialized in all areas of family law. She obtained multiple certifications as a mediator, fellow with Collaborative Divorce Illinois, and a Certified Financial Litigator with the American Academy for Certified Financial Litigators.

Anger is a natural part of divorce, but what if it’s not something to suppress or fear, but a tool for healing? This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes psychotherapist, speaker, and author Bronwyn Schweigerdt, host of Angry at the Right Things to speak about why anger is actually a good thing.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Why anger is a warning light, not a flaw—and how to listen to it.
- The hidden impact of suppressed anger on your body.
- How building a healthy relationship with anger can transform your emotional well-being.

Co-parenting is never easy, but when high stakes are involved—whether due to legal complexities, a history of domestic violence, or deep-seated conflict—it becomes even more challenging. Navigating these situations requires a unique blend of legal expertise and emotional intelligence, and that’s exactly what today’s guest, Robin Sax, brings to the table.
Robin is both an attorney and a clinical therapist, with over 15 years as a prosecutor specializing in domestic violence and child advocacy. Now, she dedicates her career to helping families navigate high-conflict co-parenting situations with a focus on resolution and stability.
In this episode, Robin shares her behind-the-scenes experiences working on some of the toughest co-parenting cases. She offers invaluable insights into the mistakes parents often make in high-conflict situations and how to avoid them. She also breaks down the critical role of communication, revealing common pitfalls and offering practical strategies to foster a healthier co-parenting relationship—even when tensions run high.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Why co-parenting is a team sport and how the right professionals can help you and your kids thrive.
- How your communication style with your co-parent can make or break your case.
- The power of the pause—why a delayed response can be the best way to de-escalate conflict.
- How self-awareness can transform your co-parenting relationship and create lasting change.
More About Our Special Guest, Robin Sax: Robin Sax is both an attorney and a clinical therapist, offering a truly one-of-a-kind practice that seamlessly blends legal and therapeutic skills. While her legal practice primarily focuses on the criminal justice system, Dear Co-Parent is where Robin’s distinctive approach shines.
Through Dear Co-Parent, Robin serves as a co-parenting therapist, behind-the-scenes coach, mediator, and parenting plan coordinator, helping families navigate high-conflict situations with both legal precision and therapeutic insight. Many professionals transition from law to therapy or vice versa, but Robin uniquely integrates both disciplines at once, providing a holistic, solution-oriented approach to co-parenting challenges.
Robin’s expertise is rooted in more than 15 years as a prosecutor, specializing in domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and stalking. This background gives her a deep understanding of family dynamics, conflict resolution, and the legal complexities that often entangle co-parents. With Dear Co-Parent, Robin doesn’t just mediate—she strategically guides parents toward healthier communication, effective decisionmaking, and sustainable parenting solutions.
Her approach is not just about agreements—it’s about outcomes that truly serve children and families.

Susan Guthrie shares insider tips from her 35+ years of experience to help you work smarter with your attorney—saving time, money, and stress. These are the strategies divorce lawyers wish their clients knew, giving you the knowledge to navigate the process more efficiently and confidently.
In this solo episode, Susan pulls back the curtain on what every divorcing person needs to know—like why your attorney isn’t your therapist (and why treating them like one will cost you big), how to communicate so your lawyer can advocate for you, and why keeping your eyes on the future is the best strategy you can have.
Here Are Just Some of the Insider Tips You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Lean on the right expert for the right job – Your attorney is there for legal strategy, not emotional support.
- Clear communication is everything – Your lawyer can’t fight for what they don’t know. Be upfront about your goals and priorities.
- Stay future-focused – Where you’re headed matters more than what you’re leaving behind.
- A great attorney aims for resolution – Litigation should be the last resort, not the first step.

Throughout her career, she has educated parents and professionals on how to minimize the impact of divorce on children. In her book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids, Christina offers parents valuable strategies for dealing with the "real-life" everyday challenges of co-parenting.
One of her core beliefs is that divorce doesn't make you a bad parent. It makes you a parent going through a bad time.

Christina has also leveraged her broad range of experience to create the unique multidisciplinary Co-Parenting Specialist™ Training Program. It teaches divorce professionals how to use a "child-centered" approach to engage with co-parents more effectively, deepen their understanding of how divorce impacts families, and use that knowledge to help co-parents craft better parenting plans and agreements.

Christina serves as the Education and Training Director for the SPLIT Outreach Project, a non-profit organization that produced SPLIT: The EARLY Years and SPLIT UP: The TEEN Years. These two compelling films let kids know they're not alone while normalizing the many feelings and experiences children and teens encounter when parents part. The SPLIT documentaries also provide a powerful experience and a wealth of insight for separating parents and the professionals who work with them.

Susan Guthrie welcomes Karis Nafte, Pet Custody Mediator and Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, to explore the complexities of pet custody in divorce.
With the legal landscape around pets evolving, the topic of pet custody has become increasingly relevant for divorcing couples. Karis, founder of Who Keeps the Dog?, sheds light on the unique challenges of navigating custody for your furry family members and shares insights from her new book, Who Keeps the Dog: Navigating Pet Custody During Divorce.
In this conversation, Karis explains how divorce can impact your beloved pets and provides practical strategies to ensure their well-being throughout the process.
What You'll Hear:
- Why pets are no longer treated as mere property in divorce
- How the changing legal landscape impacts pet custody decisions
- Key considerations for creating a pet custody agreement
- Tips for minimizing stress for your pets during separation
Golden Nuggets:
- “ You can't make the decision on the dog's future based on your hurt feelings or your negative emotions. You're not considering your dog. You're not seeing the situation through their eyes. And that's really hard, but you can do it. The most correct decision for the dog is there, if you dig for it.”
- “ Your dog will be fine. Dogs are so much more adaptable than we think they are. Don't imagine that your dog will be as upset as you are. I know that's hard to hear. It's harder for us than it is for dogs.”
- “ How do we look after our pets during divorce where we're really focusing on what's best for the dog? It's hard to do that when emotions do what they do in divorce.”

Selling or buying a home during a divorce? Susan Guthrie brings in expert realtor Kathy Clark to shed light on the real estate journey for divorcing couples. With 13 years of experience in Southern California’s mortgage and real estate industry, Kathy shares essential strategies for navigating property sales, avoiding common pitfalls, and setting yourself up for a successful transition into your next home.
Kathy’s insights will help you avoid unnecessary stress and find the right realtor to guide you through mastering the real estate side of the divorce process.
Featured Topics:
- The unique challenges of selling a home during a divorce, including differing goals with your soon-to-be-ex and when to consider selling
- How to find a realtor who genuinely understands divorce and real estate—questions to ask before signing on with anyone
- The ins and outs of realtor commissions and what to expect in today’s market
- Common mistakes divorcing individuals make when buying a new home—and how to avoid them
- Disclosure dilemmas: What to share (or not) with realtors and buyers about your divorce
Golden nuggets:
- “Everything has a value and everything has a cost. I encourage people to go into it open-minded and make sure their agent knows what they need.”
- “We have a fiduciary responsibility not to share what you don't want to be shared. You tell us ‘It's fine. Go ahead. It's amicable.’ There's got to be an expectation of how you're going to do things. I don't think it serves you well to disclose to everyone that there is a divorce. But I also don't think that you can hide it.”
- “Every house is not the same. Finding the right realtor who has the expertise in your particular home is something worth spending a little bit of time on.”

Mortgage Must-Knows for Divorce from Tami Wollensak, CDLP
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:
SOBERLINK
As a family law attorney, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate co-parenting when alcohol is involved, especially around the holidays.
Soberlink is a breathalyzer that ensures your co-parent is staying sober while they have the kids, which is especially important during this time of year, when alcohol can be present at so many gatherings.
Here’s how it works: Your co-parent will test at scheduled times throughout the day. The portable device uses facial recognition to confirm it’s really them taking the test, and tamper sensors ensure the results are accurate. Those results are sent directly to your phone or email in real-time, so you’ll always know that your kids are with a sober parent.
Soberlink is trusted by family law professionals for a reason. It’s the top alcohol monitoring system, and its court-admissible data can make all the difference in custody situations.
If you’re looking for more certainty and safety this holiday season, visit www.soberlink.com/susan to learn more and get $50 off your device.

Susan Guthrie welcomes special guest Marcia Zug, a family law expert and law professor, to discuss the move to repeal no-fault divorce laws. As reform proposals emerge across several states, this conversation explores what a shift back to fault-based divorce could mean for individuals, families, and the legal system.
Marcia offers insights into the history of no-fault divorce, the forces behind this legislative push, and the potential impacts on personal freedom, safety, and family dynamics. Tune in for an eye-opening look at the fight to preserve no-fault divorce and the disastrous implications for your rights and future.
Featured Topics:
- Understanding the difference between fault divorce and no-fault divorce and what each requires
- The origins of no-fault divorce laws and how California became the first state to pass them in 1969
- The impact of repealing no-fault divorce, including its wider social and political implications
- The future of no-fault divorce, the momentum behind repeal efforts, and whether there are movements to protect or expand these laws
Golden nuggets:
- “If we want more people to get married, I think they need to understand both what marriage does for them and how it might be beneficial, but also not scare them by locking them into a marriage that they could never get out of.”
- “By forcing people to rehash all of the horrible things that have gone on in the marriage, it brings a lot of animosity to the divorce and makes negotiation and compromises much, much harder.”
- “ Even though cruelty was grounds for divorce, it wasn't protecting victims of violence in marriages. No-fault was seen as a solution to that. States reluctantly accepted it, not because they liked divorce, but because they recognized that it was needed because divorce to fault grounds was deadly, particularly to women.”
About this week's special guest: Marcia Zug
Marcia Zug is a Family Law professor at the Jospeh F. Rice School of law at the University of South Carolina. Her latest book, You'll Do: A History of Marrying for Reasons Other than Love explores the instrumental use of marriage and the role of marriage in modern society.

Few things are scarier than finances and divorce. In this special Halloween episode, Susan welcomes back financial experts Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan of My Divorce Solution! Together they offer tips and insights for overcoming your spookiest financial fears during divorce.
This episode dives into where financial fears come from, and how to overcome them and shares cautionary tales with powerful takeaways. You'll learn how taking control of your finances can help you conquer fear and uncertainty, and why it's essential to create a clear financial portrait to help you make important and difficult decisions.
Featured Topics:
- The most common financial fears like the fear of letting go (of information, assets, or the financial life you were used to)
- Your financial portrait is the centerpiece—knowing the full picture is crucial
- Why a team approach to divorce leads to a quicker, smoother, more cost-effective process with less conflict
- The power of advocating for yourself and recognizing how your financial choices shape your future
Golden nuggets:
- “Turn your fear into focus. That focus becomes on the knowledge that the financial portrait gives to you. That's invaluable and is a life-changing confidence builder.”
- “ Getting your financial portrait done ahead of time helps you understand what kind of attorney or what kind of mediator you will hire in the first place.”

Susan Guthrie sits down with Megan Grant, the Founder & Chief Memory Creator of Cherish Tours, to explore the transformative power of travel, especially for those navigating the journey of divorce. Join us as we unpack the many ways solo travel can be a tool for healing and growth.
Megan shares her insights on how travel can positively impact mental health and offers practical tips for those looking to travel solo after a divorce. We’ll discuss how to prioritize travel amidst daily responsibilities, manage stressful travel triggers, and reframe the meaning of solo adventures. Plus, we’ll dive into overcoming decision fatigue to help you plan your next impactful journey.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that might just spark your next adventure!
Featured Topics:
- Travel as a tool for healing: Does it really work?
- Managing stressful travel triggers

Golden nuggets:
- “ You don't have to travel full time or live unconventionally to create a healing experience with travel.”
- “ Yes, travel can sometimes be stressful, especially when something doesn't go to plan, but really when you're ripped out of your comfort zone is when you learn the most about yourself and it's a really great way to do a reset.”
- “ Solo travel, where it's the most meaningful, is in creating the space for yourself. It's taking and prioritizing the self-care aspects of travel and the healing parts of travel that you can find when you step outside of that comfort zone.”

Beverly Price reveals the invisible scars that complicate healing during and after divorce for abuse victims in this powerful Domestic Violence Awareness Month episode of Divorce & Beyond.
Susan Guthrie sits down with Beverly Price, a divorce coach and advocate for domestic violence survivors, to uncover the harsh realities of how divorce can re-traumatize victims. Together, they explore how untrained divorce professionals and legal abuse can exacerbate the trauma of domestic violence. Plus, Beverly shares critical advice on creating a safety exit plan, building support systems, and why trauma-informed care is essential.
Featured topics:
- The various ways divorce can re-introduce trauma for those already traumatized in their relationship
- Unintentional re-traumatization by professionals not versed in domestic violence and how to encourage victims to seek trauma-informed experts
- Understanding legal abuse and how abusers can continue to manipulate and control throughout the legal process
- The importance of trauma counseling to help victims process and heal from their experiences
- How to find a trauma-informed divorce coach and the impact of having the right support
- Navigating personal turmoil, regret, and shame while going through divorce after being victimized
- The necessity of creating a safe exit plan—especially because 70% of women are murdered when leaving an abusive relationship
Golden nuggets:
“There's a process that can happen that takes a person from being traumatized to then going through divorce and being re-traumatized. It's the action of, in some cases, facing the abuser, whether it's in mediation or whether it's in litigation. That in itself can be terrible.”
“You didn't cause it. I've been working with a woman for almost a year to watch her get stronger and not blame herself. But it takes work because if you think about it, all the years that you were subject to it [the abuse], you're not going to flip a switch and all of a sudden feel confident and feel like it's not your fault. But it is the abuser's fault. He's not doing it to you. He's doing it for himself.”

Host Susan Guthrie welcomes back Tracy Malone to discuss some of the mistakes people make when divorcing a narcissist!
Returning guest Tracy Malone is the author of Divorcing Your Narcissist: You Can't Make This Shit Up! Divorcing a narcissist is a hot topic these days, and Tracy’s book is the most comprehensive compilation of tips, insights, case studies, and personal experiences about what it is like to divorce a narcissist.
In this episode, Tracy and Susan explore some of the most common and biggest mistakes made when divorcing a narcissist and share practical advice for avoiding them.
Conversation Golden Nuggets:
- The adversarial mindset, “How to BEAT a narcissist” is so harmful. Tracy shares her thoughts on the topic. Instead of “how to fight,” think “how to cope or prepare.”
- “Don’t call them a narcissist! It’s going to poke the bear, enrage them more, and set the whole divorce on a different trajectory.”
- Check your expectations when it comes to justice in family court and pick your battles!
- Make the parenting plan as inclusive as possible and consider the growth of your children.
- If you are aware, you can prepare. Plus, why it is important to have a team or support system during your divorce.
Listen to this episode to learn as much as you can about divorcing a narcissist and then move forward with awareness!

Susan Guthrie welcomes leading matrimonial attorney Susan Myres to the show, where she shares the potential pitfalls and legal issues you may face when cohabiting before or instead of getting married.
Together they explore the legal challenges couples face when living together, including property rights, financial agreements, and child custody issues. You’ll hear why education, planning, and potential cohabitation agreements are important and can mitigate the 'perils of playing house.'
Featured topics and Golden Nuggets:
- The legal implications of “playing house”
- Financial and property considerations: “When romance is involved, we forget to take care of business.”
- Without divorce proceedings, you don’t have immediate rights to child support (you will have to go to court) and if you are a father, you may have a harder time fighting for parental access rights
- “You can fix most of these perils if you plan ahead.”
About this week's special guests: Susan Myres
Susan Myres is a distinguished family law attorney with over 30 years of experience in the field. She has made significant contributions to the legal community, notably serving as a past president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML). Susan is currently practicing law in Houston, Texas, where she continues to provide expert legal services and guidance.

Diving back into the archive for a replay of Part Two of our special two-part episode with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a leading expert in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that delves into some of the most insidious forms of abuse: coercive control and post-separation abuse.
In part two of this special two-part episode on Domestic Abuse, we delve deeper into a form of intimate partner violence (IPV) that's gaining attention in the media through high-profile cases like those of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: Post-Separation Abuse. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor and advocate, returns to further our understanding of this often covert and insidious form of abuse. While physical abuse is more overt and recognizable, Post-Separation Abuse encompasses tactics of coercive control and emotional manipulation that can continue to affect victims long after a relationship has ended. In part one, Dr. Cocchiola explored coercive control extensively. Now, she educates us on the varied manifestations of Post-Separation Abuse and highlights its dangers, emphasizing the need for awareness and support for those trapped in this destructive cycle.

Diving back into the archive for a replay of our special two-part episode with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a leading expert in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that delves into some of the most insidious forms of abuse: coercive control and post-separation abuse.
Abuse between intimate partners comes in many forms. All are destructive, but some are so insidious and pervasive that they are incredibly common, yet vastly unknown by the public and often, in fact, by the victims themselves. With physical violence and abuse, it is very easy to identify that behavior is abusive, but when it comes to coercive control and emotional abuse, it is much harder to identify. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor herself, is dedicated to educating, supporting and advocating for others suffering in this horrible cycle of abuse. In this episode, you will learn the signs to look for when coercive control is an issue, strategies to extricate yourself and what we as a society need to do to protect victims and stop abusers.
Return on Thursday for Part Two where Dr. Cocchiola discusses the increasing awareness of another form of IPV, Post-Separation Abuse, which is increasingly in the headlines with the ongoing high profile cases of Kim Kardashion and Kanye West and the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.

Join Susan Guthrie as she welcomes back Amy Polacko! Amy shares invaluable insights on how to take control of your divorce journey and become the CEO of your divorce. In fact, understanding divorce's emotional, legal, and financial aspects is crucial to avoid costly mistakes.
In this episode, Amy highlights the common misconceptions surrounding divorce and the role of a divorce attorney. She emphasizes that relying solely on legal counsel may not provide adequate education about the divorce process and advocates for proactive education and empowerment before embarking on the journey.
With her extensive background as a divorced single mom, award-winning journalist, and empowerment coach, Amy Polacko provides invaluable guidance to women seeking independence and empowerment during and after divorce.
You’ll hear:
- Why proactive education about divorce processes empowers individuals to navigate their journey effectively.
- The divorce attorney's role: Understand the limitations of relying solely on a divorce attorney for comprehensive education.
- The importance of acquiring divorce education before or at the onset of the process to mitigate potential pitfalls.
- Insights into various divorce education topics for a well-rounded grasp of the process
About this week's special guest: Amy Polacko
Amy Polacko is a Freedom Warrior - and is committed to helping women live life on their own terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce. As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to provide support, inspiration, and guidance to single women. Amy is also an award-winning journalist who sheds light on women's issues including divorce, domestic abuse, coercive control, and singlehood.
Her recent journalistic work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek, NBC News THINK, and Ms. Magazine. After graduating from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Amy worked as a newspaper reporter for Newsday and was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team covering the TWA Flight 800 crash. She then transitioned to television journalism, working as a writer and producer in New York City. Amy was an award-winning on-air reporter in Fargo, ND, where she traveled to Kosovo for a series on the North Dakota National Guard, and in Philadelphia, where she covered the national D.C. Sniper story. She also headed up an investigative reporting unit in Albany, NY, where she uncovered consumer scams, crime, and government corruption as part of her I-Team Investigations -- one of which exposed a loophole in the state's sex offender registry.
Amy has spoken publicly on women's issues, empowerment and entrepreneurship at Yale University, the Women's Forum in Ridgefield, CT, the Women's Center of Greater Danbury, CT, the Hayvn co-working space for women, the Believe Inspire Grow national empowerment organization for women, and many other groups both virtually and in person.

Karlee Holden joins Susan Guthrie for a deeply personal and insightful discussion of uncovering, exploring, and healing the trauma bonds that shape us. Karlee is a Trauma Practitioner, helping people with their trauma and mental and physical health for twenty years.
Karlee explains that healing from trauma is not just talking about your problems; it's unwinding the fight-flight response from the nervous system and the body by developing boundaries. In this episode, Susan and Karlee discuss the importance of establishing boundaries, understanding unhealthy relationships and family patterns, and ultimately unwinding what has been holding us back from being our truest selves.
You’ll hear:
- Why ignoring trauma only perpetuates its effects and leads to more stress.
- Setting healthy boundaries is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. “Healthy boundaries are essential for our mental and emotional well-being."
- How to cultivate awareness of your emotions and triggers, and practice self-regulation to manage stress and anxiety.
- "Focus on what you can control. You can't control the external circumstances, but you can control your responses, behaviors, and self-care practices."
- Seek support. You can seek support from therapists, counselors, or support groups when dealing with trauma and emotional challenges.

About this week's special guest: Christina McGhee
Christina McGhee, MSW is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author. While splitting up is undeniably hard, Christina believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She feels with the right kind of information and support, parents have the ability to be a child's absolute best resource when families change.
Throughout her career, she has educated both parents and professionals on how to minimize the impact of divorce on children. In her book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids, Christina offers parents useful strategies for dealing with the “real-life” everyday challenges of coparenting.
One of her core beliefs is that divorce doesn’t make you a bad parent, it makes you a parent going through a bad time. Because she is passionate about helping parents get through that bad time, Christina also maintains an active coaching practice that allows her to work with Moms and Dads all over the world.
Most recently, Christina launched an online program, Coparenting with Purpose. Designed to provide moms and dads with an easy, convenient way to access critical information, it’s filled with practical tools and solutions for managing the most common coparenting problems.
Additionally, she has contributed to several other media projects as a featured expert, a content consultant, and a writer/producer. Currently, she serves as a consulting producer and subject matter expert for the documentaries SPLIT: A film for kids and their parents and Split UP: The Teen Years, two compelling films that let kids know they’re not alone and normalize the many feelings and experiences children and teens encounter when parents part.
Over the years, she has been featured on television, radio, podcasts, and in print around the US and abroad. A few places you may have seen her are TODAY Parents, the BBC, The Times, and Parents Magazine.
Married for over twenty-seven years, Christina and her husband live outside of Houston, Texas. As a mom of four (two bonus and two bio) children, she has acquired extensive on-the-job training as a chauffeur, negotiator, short-order cook, scheduler extraordinaire, and finder of all things lost.

This week on Divorce & Beyond with Susan Guthrie, we’re bringing back an episode from the archives that featured invaluable insights from Christina McGhee, America's Favorite Parenting Expert. In this episode, Christina shares her wisdom on how co-parents can create a holiday season that's less stressful and more joyful for their children.
This topic is especially relevant during the holiday season. As the festive lights twinkle and the world seems to sparkle with the holiday spirit, we know this season can also bring a mix of emotions and stress for co-parents.
Whether it's your first holiday after a separation or you've been navigating this season for years, Christina's practical and actionable advice is a gift that keeps on giving. She covers everything from how to communicate with your co-parent about the holidays to managing gifts and family expectations and ensuring your children feel the joy of the season.
So, settle in and revisit these essential strategies and tips with Christina in this special Replay episode.
About this week's special guest: Christina McGhee
Christina McGhee, MSW is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author. While splitting up is undeniably hard, Christina believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She feels with the right kind of information and support, parents have the ability to be a child's absolute best resource when families change.
Throughout her career, she has educated both parents and professionals on how to minimize the impact of divorce on children. In her book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids, Christina offers parents useful strategies for dealing with the “real-life” everyday challenges of coparenting.
One of her core beliefs is that divorce doesn’t make you a bad parent, it makes you a parent going through a bad time. Because she is passionate about helping parents get through that bad time, Christina also maintains an active coaching practice that allows her to work with Moms and Dads all over the world.
Most recently, Christina launched an online program, Coparenting with Purpose. Designed to provide moms and dads with an easy, convenient way to access critical information, it’s filled with practical tools and solutions for managing the most common coparenting problems.

Currently, she serves as a consulting producer and subject matter expert for the documentaries SPLIT: A film for kids and their parents and Split UP: The Teen Years, two compelling films that let kids know they’re not alone and normalize the many feelings and experiences children and teens encounter when parents part.
Over the years, she has been featured on television, radio, podcasts, and in print around the US and abroad. A few places you may have seen her are TODAY Parents, the BBC, The Times, and Parents Magazine.
Married for over twenty-seven years, Christina and her husband live outside of Houston, Texas. As a mom of four (two bonus and two bio) children, she has acquired extensive on-the-job training as a chauffeur, negotiator, short-order cook, scheduler extraordinaire, and finder of all things lost.

Amy Polacko, Divorce and Empowerment Coach and Investigative Journalist returns to The Divorce & Beyond podcast with Susan Guthrie. Amy is here to help bust the top five myths of domestic abuse. The myths being busted are prominent and often repeated time and again. We must raise awareness so we don’t perpetuate these myths and continue to cause incredible harm.
Amy Polacko is committed to helping women live on their terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce. As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to support, inspire, and guide single women. She is also an award-winning journalist highlighting women's issues, including divorce, domestic abuse, coercive control, and singlehood.
Myth Busting and Golden Nuggets includ
- Myth #1: “The Hysterical Woman.” Labeling women as "hysterical" diminishes their experiences and allows the cycle of abuse to continue.
- Myth #2: “Why didn’t she just leave?” One reason:You need to have a safe exit plan, which takes time and planning.
- Myth #3: If there isn’t physical violence, it’s not really abuse. The more we tell stories of domestic abuse, the more aware we can become.
- Myth #4: “It only happens in poor families.” Domestic abuse doesn't discriminate and affects people across all socioeconomic backgrounds.
- Myth #5: “What happens in someone’s home is a private matter.” Domestic abuse isn't a private issue; it has societal repercussions.
- What you can do to help break the cycle of abuse and raise awareness.
About this week's special guest: Amy Polacko
Amy Polacko is a Freedom Warrior - and is committed to helping women live life on their own terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce. As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to provide support, inspiration, and guidance to single women. Amy is also an award-winning journalist who sheds light on women's issues including divorce, domestic abuse, coercive control, and singlehood.
Her recent journalistic work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek, NBC News THINK, and Ms. Magazine. After graduating from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Amy worked as a newspaper reporter for Newsday and was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team covering the TWA Flight 800 crash. She then transitioned to television journalism, working as a writer and producer in New York City. Amy was an award-winning on-air reporter in Fargo, ND, where she traveled to Kosovo for a series on the North Dakota National Guard, and in Philadelphia, where she covered the national D.C. Sniper story. She also headed up an investigative reporting unit in Albany, NY, where she uncovered consumer scams, crime, and government corruption as part of her I-Team Investigations -- one of which exposed a loophole in the state's sex offender registry.

This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes Divorce Professional Donna LaScala to Divorce & Beyond! Donna shares real-life stories of financial abuse and trickery to help you break free from the cycle.
You've probably heard the saying, "Knowledge is power." Well, let's talk about another reality: money equals control. In divorce, it's not uncommon to witness one partner using money to control another. With her impressive 30 years of experience in the financial services field, Donna LaScala shares some valuable insights in this episode. She'll guide you on handling your finances during a divorce, spotting signs of financial abuse, and finding a path forward if you are in this difficult situation.
Donna E. LaScala, CDFA, RFC, CLTC, is the President of Comprehensive Divorce Solutions LLC. and has been in the financial services profession for over 30 years. Holding professional designations of RFC (Registered Financial Consultant) with IARFC Ethics Approved Status, CDFA (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst), and CLTC (Certified in Long-Term Care), Donna is dedicated to providing a personalized approach to meet each client’s needs and individual goals.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Financial abuse isn’t always overt, and it can take many different forms
- There may be reasonable explanations for some financial decisions - but if anything raises a red flag - look into it. Don’t ignore it.
- It’s not always about the actual money but a way to manipulate and control
- To move forward and get to the post-divorce life, you need a financial professional by your side

This week, America’s Favorite Parenting Expert, Christina McGhee, returns to Divorce & Beyond with host Susan Guthrie. Christina shares her insights on how to make back-to-school work for your kids, even amid a divorce!
We are starting a new school year, and challenges for parents, co-parents, and kids come with it. The start of a new school year is stressful and exciting, and if you add family restructuring due to divorce - it can be extremely overwhelming. In this episode, Christina McGhee shares ways to support your kids and encourage openness and connection during back-to-school.
Christina McGhee, MSW, is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author. While splitting up is undeniably hard, Christina believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She feels with the right kind of information and support, parents can be a child's absolute best resource when families change.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Co-parenting and how to approach the beginning of the new school year
- How you can use the start of the school year as a connection point
- It may be helpful to give teachers or schools a heads-up about navigating co-parenting transitions, etc. Equally important is to talk to your kids about the changes ahead of time and how that might impact their school experience
- Creating a co-parenting code of conduct: Create a plan about how you and your co-parent are going to conduct yourselves when in the presence of your children
About this week's special guest: Christina McGhee
Christina McGhee, MSW is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author. While splitting up is undeniably hard, Christina believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She feels with the right kind of information and support, parents have the ability to be a child's absolute best resource when families change.
Throughout her career, she has educated both parents and professionals on how to minimize the impact of divorce on children. In her book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids, Christina offers parents useful strategies for dealing with the “real-life” everyday challenges of coparenting.
One of her core beliefs is that divorce doesn’t make you a bad parent, it makes you a parent going through a bad time. Because she is passionate about helping parents get through that bad time, Christina also maintains an active coaching practice that allows her to work with Moms and Dads all over the world.
Most recently, Christina launched an online program, Coparenting with Purpose. Designed to provide moms and dads with an easy, convenient way to access critical information, it’s filled with practical tools and solutions for managing the most common coparenting problems.
Additionally, she has contributed to several other media projects as a featured expert, a content consultant, and a writer/producer. Currently, she serves as a consulting producer and subject matter expert for the documentaries SPLIT: A film for kids and their parents and Split UP: The Teen Years, two compelling films that let kids know they’re not alone and normalize the many feelings and experiences children and teens encounter when parents part.
Over the years, she has been featured on television, radio, podcasts, and in print around the US and abroad. A few places you may have seen her are TODAY Parents, the BBC, The Times, and Parents Magazine.
Married for over twenty-seven years, Christina and her husband live outside of Houston, Texas.

Susan Guthrie welcomes Top Financial Professional Nicole Romito as she shares some of the big issues to look for in a complex property divorce case. This episode can save you big bucks!
We’ve discussed many financial issues that arise during divorce - including whether or not to keep the house, how to find hidden assets and more. In this episode, Nicole Romito will help us dive into the more difficult issues about asset division in divorce. There is no do-over when it comes to the division of assets. You are making life-altering decisions that will impact you for the rest of your life. Knowledge is power when it comes to these complex financial issues, and even more powerful is having a financial professional who knows what they’re doing.
Nicole Romito, CFP, CDFA, is a Partner and Lead Advisor with Private Vista. While she has clients who are in all different cycles of life, she gets an extra boost collaborating with women who are going through a transition and are making life-altering financial decisions. This could be due to divorce, becoming a widow, selling their business, or being able to retire from their corporate executive career.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Why it is so important to have a financial planner on your divorce team
- The most common complex investment pitfalls
- “It’s a lot easier to come to agreements when it’s a win-win agreement.”
- Retirement, pensions, 401ks, and IRAs asset division
- What you should be aware of about executive compensation
About this week's special guest: Nicole Romito
Nicole Romito, CFP, CDFA, is a Partner and Lead Advisor with Private Vista. While she has clients who are in all different cycles of life, she gets an extra boost collaborating with women who are going through a transition and are making life-altering financial decisions. This could be due to divorce, becoming a widow, selling their business, or being able to retire from their corporate executive career.
What excites Nicole about what she gets to do each day? Helping women make smart and thoughtful decisions as they navigate an emotionally stressful time. Clients see her as a teacher, advocate, and partner. Having gone through a divorce herself and leaving a 10-year career with a bank to start my own financial planning practice, Nicole understands the stress of being 100% responsible for your financial security. That is why she invests extra time with her clients and their other professionals such as their attorney and CPA to create a plan which takes them from a place of fear and uncertainty to one of clarity and confidence.
Whether it is a proposed divorce settlement, settling an estate or navigating deferred compensation plans and exercising employer stock plans on your way to retirement; her clients are relieved, that together, we create a forward-looking financial plan so they can see what the future may mean for them and their family. Since I walked by their side and never judged, during a very emotional time during which is it common to become flooded and unable to make decisions, they look to me as their ongoing partner to successfully manage their wealth.

This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes podcaster and child of divorce Grace Casper to the Divorce & Beyond podcast. Grace shares insights on what your kids wish you knew about how your divorce impacts them.
The scariest part of divorce for parents is how it may negatively impact their kids. In this episode, Grace Casper joins Susan to offer her unique perspective (as a child of divorce) about what kids need, want, think, and feel about divorce and how it affects them. During this conversation and in Grace’s new book, Dear Parents: Notes From a Child of Divorce, Grace shares how you can help your kids through a divorce and have open and ongoing conversations with them.
Grace Casper’s world changed forever when her parents told her that they were getting a divorce. In the wake of this, Grace started writings tips for her younger brother based on what she was learning from her parents’ divorce, trying to help him as they went from house to house. Fourteen years later, Grace began the first draft of the book that would be borne from these tips, writing in the hopes of being able to provide parents with a look into the effects of divorce on their children with first-hand experience. She also runs a page called Divorce Tips From Kids and a podcast called "Divorce: What I Wish My Parents Knew." This podcast allows other children of divorce to share their stories.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Creating a catalyst for conversations with children about divorce - conversations about divorce are not a one-and-done conversation
- How to empower your kids (and keep them at the center) - a good place to start is to trial co-parenting schedules and ask them for input
- Golden Nugget! Grace’s “suggestion box” approach to parenting during divorce
- Teaching your kids to find the good
- Find a safe person to share your thoughts and feelings with about divorce that is NOT your children
- It is a gift to your child and yourself to be able to be the safe parent

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.”

Myth #5: If a Divorce Is Happening, Then Someone Did Something Wrong
Debunking the Blame Game in Divorce – Myth Busting Series Finale with Susan
Does divorce always imply guilt? Must there always be a 'bad guy' for a relationship to end? In the grand finale of our special Divorce Myth Busting series, our host Susan invites you to rethink the narrative around this life-altering decision.
In this episode, Susan disentangles the misconceptions that surround the reasons for divorce, setting the record straight on 'fault' versus 'no-fault' grounds and explaining why 'irreconcilable differences' is more than just a legal catchphrase.
Divorce can be a difficult topic to navigate, and it's not always about finding fault. Join Susan as she navigates through the complex terrain of divorce laws and uncovers the truth that lays hidden behind societal assumptions. This episode is not just about busting myths; it's about understanding that endings can sometimes be new beginnings.
Unravel the truth and rethink divorce with Susan. Because not all endings are failures, and every story has more than one side.
Catch the finale episode of our Divorce Myth Busting series – for a perspective shift you won't want to miss!

Tune in to gain invaluable guidance and strategies from this #2 of all-time episode.
The decision to divorce is hard, and can take a long time, but the next step, telling your spouse, is one of the most critical steps in the process and it is imperative to do it right! Kate Anthony, Susan Guthrie's guru on all things communication, joins her for this episode to help you plan that conversation so that you start things off the best way possible. Trust us, this is truly one of the most important conversations that you will ever have and it pays to put time and effort into doing it the best way possible so that you can, as Kate says in the episode, put your head on the pillow that night knowing you did your best.

She provides knowledge, support, and insight to women contemplating divorce, living through a separation in the midst of the legal and financial process and wanting a new and exciting life after divorce. She helps them to prepare for and walk through their emotional and logistical challenges with more knowledge, support, and more self-esteem and with less pain that she did with her divorce.

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Professor Stephanie Tang joins Susan Guthrie Esq. to explain what “in the best interests of the children” really means and why it’s not as simple as you think!
One of the topics listeners have been reaching out about the most lately is “the best interests of the children” standard in family court. Professor Tang joins Susan to share the various factors that go into determining children's best interests and describes the impact of a judge’s discretion. What seems like such a simple topic is truly the most complicated in family court custody hearings.
Stephanie L. Tang is an Assistant Professor of Law at Baylor Law School, teaching Family Law. Before joining Baylor, Professor Tang was a Partner at a family law firm in Chicago, where she specialized in all areas of family law.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Where the “best interests of the child” standard originated
- Family court considerations of factors related to custody hearings
- What judges look at when it comes to a child’s professed wishes
- Stephanie answers, “Can a parent request a change to custodial orders over time if they don’t agree with the best interests of children determination?”
- Does the bearing of what a parent wants come into play?

- When your ex immediately moves in with the person they were having an affair with

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes Rosemarie Ferrante to discuss what a “no-fault divorce” means and why it’s a good thing!
No fault divorce exists for a reason and benefits society in many ways. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have no-fault laws. However, some conservative states, such as Texas, are pushing to repeal them.
Rosemarie Ferrante joins Susan Guthrie, Esq. for an important conversation about no-fault grounds for divorce, what it means, and what the impact would be if it were removed from the law books.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- The benefits of no-fault divorce include the ability to de-escalate conflict.
- The difference between no-fault grounds for divorce and fault
- Fault does NOT impact the division of assets, nor does it affect custodial rights
- If no-fault divorce is revoked, it will have dire impacts
- Why Texas legislation that seeks to abolish no-fault divorce is alarming
- How to advocate for keeping no-fault divorce in legislation

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Top Forensic Accountant Tracy Coenen to share the ways people hide money in a divorce. You won’t want to miss this one!
Tracy Coenen returns to talk about the five sneaky ways your spouse may be hiding money in a divorce. Tracy is a leading forensic accountant and has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years. In this episode, she divulges the five techniques people use to conceal finances to avoid splitting assets, paying support, or dividing possessions.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- How to determine if a spouse is or is not depositing their full paycheck into the joint bank account
- When a spouse is withdrawing cash often or one who exhibits a change in behavior of cash withdrawals
- What you need to know about buying gift cards to cover up spending

About this week's special guests: Tracy Coenen
Tracy has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn’t always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.

Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes Zachary Taylor to the Divorce & Beyond podcast! Learn the facts that you need to know when you are facing divorce and have to deal with one or more mortgages. It’s more complicated than you think, and in this case, knowledge is power.
Did you know mortgages can be one of the most important factors in your divorce? Knowing what to expect will help you move through your divorce (and beyond) with clarity and understanding. In addition, if you have the right mortgage broker, you can make agreements that benefit everybody.
Guest Zachary Taylor is a mortgage lender with 30 years of experience. Over 25% of his business involves people in some phase of the divorce process.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Some ways mortgage lending and the lending paperwork are different when facing divorce
- When it comes to mortgage loans, if you are receiving custodial or alimony support payments, you must prove that you have been receiving them for six months, NOT that you are supposed to be receiving it
- Do not wait until the middle of the divorce process or later to meet with a mortgage lender because you can give yourself more options as you negotiate your divorce if you understand what your borrowing power is
- “Information is your superpower.”
- Common mortgage and financial mistakes people make during divorce and how to avoid them
About this week's special guest: Zach Taylor
Zachary Taylor is a mortgage lender with 30 years of experience. Over 25% of his business involves people in some phase of the divorce process.
Zach knows the divorce guidelines and can access programs from his company (Change Home Mortgage) and programs from dozens of other banks, lenders, and Wall Street investment firms. This allows him to achieve his main goals for his clients: Get them the best rate, and one that fits their situation, that can be approved, and that can be closed within the required time-frames.
The division of real estate property in a divorce can be challenging to navigate. Contacting Zach as early in the process as possible helps people to have a more seamless experience. He will determine if you can do a buyout or will have to sell. He will also determine if you can buy a new property based on your “post-divorce” situation using the buyout or sale proceeds. This can save time and prevent unexpected difficulties during the settlement process.
Zach has experience helping people who are going through divorce to better understand and determine the issues involving property and mortgages. Zach shares a common mission with the other professionals in the Carlsbad Hub: to provide information and support so that people can feel confident and have peace of mind with the decisions they make in the divorce process. Zach wants to be a valued resource, whether or not a new mortgage is needed, and can also help address issues about credit as well.
Included in Zach’s 30 years of lending experience is a 98% close ratio from 2008 to the present, which happens to be the tightest lending environment ever! He has closed over 2,000 transactions. His background includes underwriting and approving loans. For 16 years, he was Managing Broker, and Partner is a successful local mortgage company. He is a licensed California Real Estate Broker and passed the Federal and State Mortgage tests with all background checks required for the NMLS license. He is a graduate of U.C. San Diego with a B.A. in Economics.

Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women embrace their new role of part-time parenting. Shared parenting can come with a mixture of emotions, including the fear of being eliminated from your child’s life. Together, Susan and Lisa discuss how parenting time does not quantify your value as a parent.

Embraced, celebrated, and experienced differently.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Your perception of the time you have with your child does not equate to your value as a parent
- Mindset shifts to help you focus on quality over quantity
- Giving yourself permission to feel your emotions helps you to move through them faster
- Tips for parents to make the most of the time with their child, as well as, how to utilize your time alone to heal

Still, after going through a divorce in 2017 and struggling to accept this unplanned chapter of part-time parenting, she felt called to show how she could embrace this journey and began to see this adjustment as a gift. Lisa quickly garnered a community of women who resonated and were ready to use their own co-parenting journey as a catalyst to a richer life. Lisa empowers Moms to leverage their time away to turn less into more.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes back Ginger Gentile as she shares her tried and true tips for alienated and estranged parents.
Parental alienation is a silent epidemic affecting families all over the United States (and beyond). Whatever term you choose to use to describe it - parental alienation, estrangement, or parental interference - emotions of alienated and estranged parents are fraught with fear. Often, the experience can be isolating. Parents feel as though there is no recovery, no coming back from this, or they simply don’t know what to do. In this episode, Ginger Gentile joins Susan to help parents work to reunite with their children after divorce or separation. Together they discuss specific ways to manage emotions and behaviors that will eventually create lasting change and work to heal alienated parents’ relationships with their children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Communication is at the core of how you start reversing parental alienation.
- The importance of emotionally detaching and establishing a brief, informative, friendly, but firm communication with the co-parent
- Why earlier intervention can lead to better outcomes
- Focus on your behavior changes and yourself instead of your children's or ex's behavior
- “Changes must come from within. It takes time and work.”
About this week's special guest: Ginger Gentile
Ginger Gentile is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Her first film on this topic, ERASING DAD, was filmed in Argentina and resulted in joint-custody legislation being enacted. Her latest film, ERASING FAMILY, currently streaming on all major platforms, exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives. This problem affects 22 million families in the US alone.
In her time serving as the Executive Director of the National Parents Organization in 2019, she added six new state affiliates and garnered national press attention for the Shared Parenting Report Card. Now, she is coaching parents suffering from parental alienation to help them reunite with their erased children GingerGentile.com/consulting
Her program for replicating the success of reunited families will soon be a podcast, course, and book.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes NY Times Best-Selling Author Dr. Shefali as she shares insights from her newest book, “The Parenting Map”
Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist and NY Times best-selling author of three books, including Conscious Parenting and The Awakened Family. She joins Susan to discuss her latest book, The Parenting Map, and the importance of integrating all aspects of ourselves into our parenting.
You’ll also hear why Dr. Shefali emphasizes the need for parents to work on themselves to support their children fully. The conversation touches on the impact of social media on children's development and the importance of being present and attentive as a parent in a world filled with constant stimulation and comparison.
Dr. Shefali offers insight and practical advice on how to best navigate conscious parenting and create deeper connections with our children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Why parents must take responsibility for their growth and transformation to become conscious parents. The focus of parenting needs to be on the PARENT.
- A perspective shift for parents to focus on their children's relationship with activities rather than their attachment to the outcome
- The importance of integrating our shadow elements and not shaming our children for theirs
- The impact of screens and social media on children's development includes a lack of ability to tolerate frustration, decreased attention span, and disconnection from reality and their own feelings.
About this week's special guest: Dr. Shefali

Specializing in integrating Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, she brings together the best of both worlds for her clients.

This week on the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes Rebecca Feinglos as she shares her story of overcoming grief following her divorce and the iconic moment when Adele crashed her Las Vegas Divorce Party. You won’t want to miss this episode!
Grief is a messy and complicated emotion. And while that is the focal point of this episode, it will be one of the happiest episodes you will hear! After the death of her father in 2020 and her marriage ending, Rebecca Feinglos found herself overwhelmed by grief. So, in 2021, she founded Grieve Leave to document and share her journey and help others navigate their grief with humor and compassion.
In this episode, Susan and Rebecca discuss the importance of acknowledging grief and how to navigate it with self-compassion. When we see that grieving doesn’t only have to be about crying - we can move forward, find joy, and even celebrate it too.
Rebecca Feinglos blogs her personal experiences and shares tangible resources and actionable tips for dealing with relationship grief and divorce (with a healthy dose of humor baked in). Most recently, Rebecca went viral for throwing a “divorce party” in Vegas and bringing Adele to tears on stage.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Susan and Rebecca explore the common misconception that grief comes only with death - we grieve all kinds of losses in our lives
- How to intentionally grieve after a divorce, and why is it essential to do so
- Why we need to stop using the phrase “failed marriage” when we talk about divorce
- There will never be a divorce party quite like Rebecca’s divorce party!
- How Rebecca is bringing others together through the Grieve Leave community
About this week's special guest: Rebecca Feinglos
Rebecca Feinglos is a grief educator, advocate, and the founder of online blog and digital community Grieve Leave. After ending her marriage during the fallout of her parents’ deaths, Rebecca quit her job to take a year-long sabbatical to grieve, founding Grieve Leave as an outlet to document her own journey with grief. The Grieve Leave community has grown to one of thousands, where Rebecca blogs her personal experiences and shares tangible resources and actionable tips for dealing with relationship grief and divorce (with a healthy dose of humor baked in).
Rebecca can be found on social media @rfeinglos.
You can keep up with her Grieve Leave journey at www.GrieveLeave.com.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Intuitive Healer Holly Hughes! Listen in to hear the antidote to the Valentine’s Day blues and how to manage the unrealistic expectations of the Hallmark Holiday!
Valentine’s Day can be hard when you are going through a divorce. In this episode, Susan Guthrie and Holly Hughes discuss tactical ways and tips to honor your feelings and not fall victim to the commercialism or beliefs of what the holiday should or needs to be about.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Why Holly and Susan are NOT wearing red for this Valentine’s Day-focused episode
- Create your very own love note jar for YOURSELF
- Love is lost in the commercialism of Valentine’s Day, instead of love from a partner focus on things you love (your children, art, music, etc.)
- Allow yourself to feel your feelings, wallow in them in fact. Then pull yourself out of that space and you’ll feel a sense of relief
- “In order to feel and receive love, you have to have it for yourself first.”
- Why it is so important to listen to your inner voice and start recognizing what love actually feels like for you
- Joy is love. Bring some joy into your life today
About this week's special guest: Holly Hughes
Holly is an award-winning author, speaker, and intuitive healer who infuses her unique personal style, intuitive gifts, and personal healing stories to guide clients through a step-by-step process to help them claim their voice, passions, and self-worth.

This week on the Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., is joined by Certified Divorce and Mediation Coach, Kelly Myers. Together they discuss how you can start your divorce on the right foot and avoid a divorce hangover!
Kelly Myers’ goal is for individuals to not have any regrets after the divorce is over. She refers to it as the divorce hangover – the if only’s, wouldas, couldas, and shouldas of divorce. In this episode, Kelly shares some of the things she wished she had known or done differently during her divorce.
One of the lessons Kelly learned and shares today: You may not get everything you want from your divorce, but with the right tools, mindset, and professionals, you will know exactly why you made every decision you made, you’ll understand the pros and cons of each choice, and you can move forward with confidence in your vision.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Why it is important to look at your divorce as the opportunity to build the foundation for your future.
- You must become your own advocate. You can’t rely on other professionals to do that because they are not an expert in your life. You are.
- Create a vision of what you want your post-divorce life to be
- Once you have your vision, use it as a tool for creating your support team and convey not only what you need, but why you believe you need it
- “How can you use the law as a tool to get what you and your family need, including the ability to move forward and thrive? That’s the goal here.”
- The power of organizing your thoughts and fears in a divorce notebook
If divorce is in your future, listen to this episode to gain clarity and build a strong foundation for your beyond!

Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes fellow podcast host, Wendy Sloane to the show. Wendy shares the insights she has learned from her divorce and explains why even a bad divorce can be a good thing!
In this episode, podcast host and former television producer Wendy Sloane joins Susan Guthrie to share her personal divorce story. She discusses the good and the bad of divorce and how she is living her best life, today. Yes, divorce is fraught with difficulty and overwhelm. but it doesn’t have to suck. You can still have your happily ever after divorce.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Give yourself the grace of space: take your time during the divorce process, you don’t need to hire the first attorney you speak to nor do you need to hire an attorney immediately
- The decisions you make about who is going to support you in your divorce and the process you choose (mediation, litigation, etc) informs how your divorce and life after are going to unfold
- Technology can be helpful, especially if there is a conflict between co-parents
- What we mean when we say, “Divorce is hard when you are in it, so keep your kids out of it.”
If you are going through the hard parts of divorce right now, we hope this episode makes things a bit easier!

Today on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, host Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes leading attorney Monica Mazzei! Together they explore how pre-nuptial agreements can help partners prepare for their marriage and beyond.
In this episode, Susan Guthrie and her guest, Monica Mazzei focus not on divorce, but instead on marriage and partnerships. They encourage you to think about how a pre-martial agreement can be a collaboration and bring you together, rather than used as a plan for what happens if you part.
Monica Mazzei is a Certified Family Law Specialist representing clients in the Bay Area, with a concentration in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, as well as Los Angeles. She represents high-net-worth clients throughout the litigation process and in mediation.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Conscious coupling is very different from conscious uncoupling
- Why the stigma around having a pre-marital agreement is waning
- Monica shares insights on the ideal time to start the conversation about a prenup
- What happens during pre-marital agreement planning
- “Nobody wants to talk about money, divorce, or death. But these are the things you need to talk about.”
- Prenups should be a collaborative and transparent process, and agreements should be balanced and fair
- In the event of a divorce, prenups lead to less cost, less time, and less stress because you already worked through these issues
- “This is your opportunity to ask for what you want while you still like each other. Try doing this ten years from now when you can’t stand each other, it’s a lot harder.”

Monica also mediates pre-marital agreements. As a mediator, Monica helps to identify the thoughts and concerns of both parties in a non-confrontational setting. Mediation helps clients discuss difficult topics which allow Monica to create a financial structure that works for both parties.

As we head into the holiday season and Black Friday shopping, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes Lisa McGregor of The Unplanned Chapter to the show! Lisa shares support and wisdom about gift-giving, your kids, and your ex this holiday season.
After divorce, there is a desire to separate lives between you and your ex. However, if you are co-parenting, you and your ex will always be connected through your child in one way or another. So when it comes to gift-giving around the holidays or special celebrations, co-parents often struggle with helping their child buy a gift for the other parent. When it comes down to it, it's not about you, it's about your child and Lisa knows from personal experience.
Lisa McGregor joins Susan Guthrie for a conversation about how to help your children purchase a gift for the other parent in their lives; even if the other parent: doesn’t help your child/children get a gift for you or refuses to accept anything from you.
Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has been motivating women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Gift-giving for a co-parent is not about you. It’s about your child and helping them show their love and foster a relationship with a co-parent.
- Some of the “Yeah, but’s” co-parents struggle when it comes to gift-giving
- The subtle nuances of helping your children celebrate their other parent and/or honor their choice to forgo giving a gift
- Share what you are doing with your kids this holiday season and use the hashtag #Gettingthegift
- On gift-giving: “The biggest payout of all is seeing the joy in your child’s eyes. Allow that to be the drive to do it again in the future. ”
This episode is a reminder that gift-giving is not about you. It’s always about your child. Give your child permission to celebrate with their parent and help them in whatever way you can!
About this week's special guest: Lisa McGregor
Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part-time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has been motivating women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise. The first 17 years of her career were spent in the fitness industry, but after going through a divorce in 2017 and struggling to accept this unplanned chapter of part-time parenting, she felt called to show how she was able to embrace this journey and began to see this adjustment as a gift. Lisa quickly garnered a community of women who resonated and were ready to use their own co parenting journey as a catalyst to a richer life. Lisa empowers Moms to leverage their time away to turn less into more. Lisa has shared her story on several podcasts & across multiple social media platforms and helps women put it all into action as a Life & Hypno Breath Work Coach.

It's time for the next installment of our monthly Bonus Divorce & Beyond Headlines Round Up episode with our host and one of the top divorce attorneys in the country, Susan Guthrie!
It's a mixture of celebrity headlines and high profile cases involving some more ordinary people with some out-of-the-ordinary problems and issues. Interestingly, there are two cases involving transgender people and the legal issues that can make things even more complicated. Basketball Superstar, Dwayne Wade's petition to change his daughter's name and gender is being opposed by his ex-wife while Tommy Dorfman and her husband have finalized their divorce, perhaps as a result of her recent coming out as transgender. Other cases in the headlines involve one woman's ongoing court battle to use a frozen embryo created with her ex to have another child over his objection, the crazy financial differences between couples that drove them to divorce and Cheryl Burke and Joey Lawrence's ongoing custody battle over their dog which is headed to trial in Janaury.
There is something to think about and learn from in each of these media stories so listen in as Susan breaks them down and helps you find the message behind the headlines!
In this month's Headline Round-up Susan discusses:
- The legal name of Dwyane Wade's daughter is at the center of a court battle Dwyane Wade is trying to legally change his transgender daughter's name and gender. But his ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, is asking the court to stop him.

Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes former teacher turned mediator Claudia Brown Coulter to share insider knowledge on how your child’s teachers can be one of their biggest support systems during divorce and beyond!
You may not realize it, but your child’s teachers and school faculty can tell when something is going on at home. Maybe they see a behavior shift or grades start to suffer. Oftentimes, during divorce, parents don’t make the school aware of this major life change. They are leaving a helpful resource untapped.
Today, Susan invites Claudia to talk about the school resources available to children and parents during times of big (or little) stress. In this episode, Susan and Claudia discuss how to talk to your child’s school about your divorce, how to form an allyship between you and your child’s teacher, and other ways schools can support both children and parents through divorce. This is such an important episode, we hope you tune in.
Claudia Brown Coulter was a teacher in public education for 21 years. The transition to mediation was a natural one as colleagues and administrators kept coming to her to help them settle disputes between themselves and with their parents.
Some topics that Claudia and Susan discuss:
- School is a safe place for children because there is predictability in their day and therefore it is often where they act out or express their emotions
- What kind of information is helpful to share with the school when opening up about an ongoing divorce or separation
- Teachers are your child’s ally, they will be compassionate and understanding
- Some ways parents and schools can support your children
- Bonus topic! Holiday gift ideas for teachers
Transcript of the Episode
About this week's special guest: Claudia Brown Coulter
Claudia was a teacher in public education for 21 years. The transition to mediation was a natural one as colleagues and administrators kept coming to her to help them settle disputes between themselves and with parents. So she decided to make it official and enrolled at Pepperdine Law where she learned the art and science of mediation. She loves mediating online, especially since it means clients don’t have to sit in the same room with their ex or battle LA traffic. It’s a win-win.

As November is Family Court Awareness Month which closely follows on the heels of Domestic Violence Awareness month in October, Susan Guthrie, Esq. brings you a special Bonus Episode where the two topics are joined. Susan chats again with Investigative Journalist and Coach, Amy Polacko to shine a light on what the laws do and do not do to protect victims of intimate partner violence and coercive control, what has been done and what more needs to be done.
Amy Polacko recently wrote a revealing article for Ms. Magazine entitled, "Empowered: Women Tell Family Court Judges of Experiences With Coercive Control Using New Domestic Abuse Law" that received a great deal of attention from women and survivors of domestic abuse. As outlined in the article, one year ago, Connecticut enacted Jennifers' Law, which added coercive control to the definition of domestic violence for those seeking relief, becoming one of only 5 states to pass such protections. Amy's article looks at how the law has impacted domestic violence victims since the passing of the law, highlighting the benefits but also the many shortcomings and difficulties in applying the law in a court of law.
In this episode, Amy shares her insights from speaking directly with the women who have been in the legal trenches, those who continue to struggle with litigation abuse and some tips for managing if you find yourself in this dangerous situation. This is incredibly important information for everyone to hear as domestic violence rips at the fabric of our society.
About this week's special guest: Amy Polacko
Amy Polacko is a Freedom Warrior - and is committed to helping women live life on their own terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce. As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to provide support, inspiration, and guidance to single women. Amy is also an award-winning journalist who sheds light on women's issues including divorce, domestic abuse, coercive control, and singlehood.
Her recent journalistic work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek, NBC News THINK, and Ms. Magazine. After graduating from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Amy worked as a newspaper reporter for Newsday and was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team covering the TWA Flight 800 crash. She then transitioned to television journalism, working as a writer and producer in New York City. Amy was an award-winning on-air reporter in Fargo, ND, where she traveled to Kosovo for a series on the North Dakota National Guard, and in Philadelphia, where she covered the national D.C. Sniper story. She also headed up an investigative reporting unit in Albany, NY, where she uncovered consumer scams, crime, and government corruption as part of her I-Team Investigations -- one of which exposed a loophole in the state's sex offender registry.
Amy has spoken publicly on women's issues, empowerment and entrepreneurship at Yale University, the Women's Forum in Ridgefield, CT, the Women's Center of Greater Danbury, CT, the Hayvn co-working space for women, the Believe Inspire Grow national empowerment organization for women, and many other groups both virtually and in person.

Many facets of divorce can be overwhelming, especially when finances are involved. One of the most common financial matters that come up in divorce is child support and along with it comes a whole lot of questions:

With the flurry of holidays right around the corner, it's time for a Special Bonus Episode to help you handle those Holiday Hassles and deal with all the hard stuff when it comes to your children and divorce. Susan is joined again but America's Favorite Parenting Expert and Best-Selling Author, Christina McGhee for deep dive into what really matters for your kids as you navigate two homes as a family. The episode tackles the really tough stuff that includes having to practice radical acceptance of what is as well as facing the fact that in some instances, well-meaning parents can actually bring additional strain on their children at what is supposed to be the happiest time of year.
Christina shares so many Golden Nuggets in this episode that it is hard to narrow it down to just a few but some key points she makes are:
- Start with the question, "what needs to stay the same and what needs to change?"
- Don't forget what it feels like to be a child during the holidays - it is easy to get caught up in our own feelings of loss but what is truly important?
- Remember that when you emphasize being "fair" about the timeshare during holidays, kids can feel like a commodity.
- Sometimes we have to accept that it is what it is and focus on making what we do have the best that it can be.
- Different doesn't have to mean devastating.
- Why the term "for now" needs to be your mantra.
This is THE episode that will help you face and deal with all the hard stuff about the holiday season head on so that you and your kids CAN have a happy holiday season!

Throughout our lives we have many kinds of celebrations - when there is the birth of a baby, we celebrate with baby showers, or for birthdays, we celebrate with parties.

On this week’s episode of Divorce & Beyond, Host, Susan Guthrie, is joined by Certified Divorce Lending Professional, Tami Wollensak. Together they discuss creative solutions around what you can and can’t do with the marital home in a divorce!
So you want to keep the house in your divorce? You’re not alone. The marital home and what is going to happen with it is one of the first questions soon-to-be-divorced couples ask when meeting with a divorce attorney or professional. The home is often one of the biggest assets and the mortgage is one of the biggest debts of divorce.
In this episode, Susan and Tami explore solutions around the marital home, discuss some of the things you need to consider before keeping it, what you need to know about lending options, and other difficulties or situations that may arise.
Tami Wollensak is a licensed mortgage loan originator and a 25+ year veteran of the industry, she has experience working in multiple roles and facets of the industry. She has discovered her true passion in helping divorcing individuals navigate their home equity solutions while going through the most challenging time of their life.
Conversation Golden Nuggets:
- Divorce mortgage planning provides options to help you make a more informed decision about the marital home
- Defining what the equity/value of a home is at the time of a divorce
- If you are awarded the home, you will probably need to refinance and take out a new mortgage
- Property taxes and homeowner insurance become your responsibility, the cost of these may change once you refinance
- If you keep the house, the mortgage is not your only responsibility! Tami shares why getting a home inspection can help you decide if you wish to pursue keeping the marital home or not
If keeping the home post-divorce is something you are considering, this episode is a must-listen!

On this week’s episode, Host, Susan Guthrie, welcomes Holly Hughes, an Intuitive Healer, to discuss tips for taking your self-care to the next level when facing divorce or any significant struggle!
Most people going through divorce feel numb or devastated. It’s also not uncommon to lose sight of who you are or were as your marriage comes to an end. While there are many answers to help you heal, sometimes the answer is in the form of self-care.
Holly Hughes joins Susan Guthrie for an enlightening conversation about self-care and how it starts with being aware of your own needs. You can’t take care of anyone else (your children, for example) if you aren’t taking care of yourself first.
In this episode, Holly and Susan take a deep dive into many forms of self-care. Self-care does not need to be an insurmountable task - it can look like coloring, listening to music, or dancing, - simply take small steps in your day to make yourself feel better.
Holly Hughes is an intuitive energy healer, speaker, and author of the book, “Real Not Perfect: How to Become Your Happy Authentic Self.”
Conversation Golden Nuggets include:
- When you create a pattern of self-care, those who love you and see the benefit, for you and for them, will encourage it
- Experiencing a moment of joy may help you define what is hurting and needs healing
- Part of self-care includes putting your phone down!
- Start your day with kindness to yourself
- Sometimes, self-care requires you to say, “No,” to certain people or things in your life
- Crying is good. Wallowing, however, is not.
Self-care can be simple and yet still have a lasting impact. Listen to this episode to hear how to take small steps towards radical self-care, today!
About this week's special guests: Holly Hughes
Holly is an award-winning author, speaker, and intuitive healer who infuses her unique personal style, intuitive gifts, and personal healing stories to guide clients through a step-by-step process to help them claim their voice, passions, and self-worth.

The Divorce Doctor, Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, returns to the Divorce & Beyond podcast! Join Dr. Elizabeth and Susan Guthrie, Esq., for a conversation about the greatest gift that you can give to yourself – forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a topic that everyone, divorce or not, needs to know more about because it is so powerful, yet so misunderstood. When the topic comes up, it can often sound like nails on a chalkboard. But, did you know that there are demonstrable mental health benefits to forgiveness? It has been shown to elevate mood, and guard against anger, stress, or even depression. Also, when you seek to forgive, it can have positive effects on all facets of your life.
Dr. Elizabeth joins Susan for an impactful conversation about how to forgive yourself (and others), let go of resentment, embrace compassion, and create a new beginning. Forgiveness helps you let go of a past that no longer serves you, and helps you move toward a more joyful future.
Dr. Elizabeth Cohen is the CEO and founder of the online divorce course and membership Afterglow: The Light at the Other Side of Divorce.
Golden Nuggets from Dr. Elizabeth Cohen include:
- Dr. Elizabeth shares the amazing story about forgiveness that inspired this episode
- Forgiving is a process - it’s not linear, it’s not fast; it is work
- Stay away from JADE: Justify, Argue, Defend, and Explaining
- Forgiveness and resentment are not about the OTHER person, they are about YOU. You have the power to shift how you feel about the other person
- We acknowledge there are some things that are not forgivable - such as criminal acts or sexual assault
- You don’t have to forgive a perpetrator - but you may be able to release the power of resentment in your life
- Forgiveness is about your future
This episode is an invitation to give yourself a chance to live anger or resentment free. Listen to give the gift of forgiveness to yourself today!

This week, Tina Swithin, author of Divorcing a Narcissist: One Mom’s Battle, re-joins Susan Guthrie, Esq. on The Divorce & Beyond podcast. Tina shares her 10-year journey to protect herself and her daughters from an abusive ex-husband and her mission to help other women do the same!
In this episode, Susan highlights the value of Tina’s books, work, and journey. There are so many lessons to be learned from her ten-year battle in a high-conflict divorce. One of the most enduring lessons was how hard it was to protect her children’s safety and best interests in the family court system. But with tenacity and creativity in bringing proof about her ex-husband to the court, she was able to finally end her court battle and have a positive outcome.
Tina Swithin is the author of Divorcing a Narcissist (series), founder of One Mom’s Battle, and the High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification Program. Tina continues to champion children’s rights through her family court advocacy. Tina is working to raise awareness of the issues in the family court system and to educate the general public on post-separation abuse and narcissistic abuse. Tina is remarried and resides in San Luis Obispo, California with her husband and two daughters.
Golden Nuggets and takeaways from this episode include:
- It only takes one person to create a high conflict case
- Children are often the abuser’s pawns during a divorce
- Some of the most challenging times for Tina were when she had to learn the system, play nice while trying to maintain boundaries, and have her voice heard
- In family court, it’s not what you say, but what you can prove. Tina shares how she was able to prove one of her ex’s lies while they were both under oath
- The paradigm of being the safe parent and handling the sometimes explosive feelings and emotions your children express in your presence
- The power is in understanding the narcissist’s patterns so that you can manage their behaviors
Tune into this episode to hear Tina’s amazing journey and for examples of how you can promote child safety advocacy in custody decisions!
About this week's special guest: Tina Swithin
Tina Swithin survived a “Category Five Divorce Hurricane” while acting as her own attorney in a high-conflict custody battle that turned her family’s life upside down for over a decade. While divorces are never easy, Tina quickly learned that divorcing a narcissist or other high-conflict individual escalates family law cases to levels that few can comprehend.
During her ten year journey through the family court system in pro per, Tina went through a two-day trial, over 40 court dates and two full child custody evaluations. During this time, minor’s counsel was appointed, over twelve police reports were generated and a total of three child welfare reports determined that her ex-husband was a “moderate risk” yet did nothing to protect her children.
In 2020, Tina Swithin founded, “Family Court Awareness Month.” Tina is the author of Divorcing a Narcissist (series) and founder of the High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification Program. Tina Swithin has been awarded honors such as the “Top 20 Professionals Under 40” and the “Top 40 Professionals Under 40” in several regional California newspapers. Tina resides in San Luis Obispo, California with her husband and her two daughters.

America’s Favorite Parenting Expert is back on the show! Christina McGhee re-joins host Susan Guthrie on The Divorce & Beyond podcast. Together they discuss the top tips for managing a difficult co-parent!
Parenting even under the best of circumstances is challenging. When you add into the mix a co-parent who is uncooperative or high conflict, it’s downright exhausting. So, what can you do? Christina has some wonderful tips about how to maneuver a co-parenting situation where your co-parent is non-existent or uncooperative.
Christina shares ways to work through the feelings of hopelessness and exhaustion. Plus, she talks about how to get to a place of being in control of yourself and your emotions so you can be an empowered, consistent, engaging, and confident parent to your children.
Christina McGhee is a speaker and divorce parenting expert who believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, “Parenting Apart: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids.”
Some topics that Christina and Susan discuss:
- What Christina means when she says “When there’s no “Co” in Co-parenting…”
- Instead of staying focused on fixing the co-parent, lean into your co-parenting values and work on yourself
- Radical acceptance: Adjust your expectations and accept things the way they are…for now. “It may not get easier, but how you manage it makes a difference.”
- Ask yourself: How is your response going to impact your children?
- Talk about the problem, not the person. “Making the other parent look small will never make you look big.”
- Don’t forget about the power of one!
Tune into this episode to hear tips and strategies that will keep your children at the center of your divorce and to learn how to cope with a difficult co-parent!

Susan Guthrie is joined by Jan Barefoot, the Barefoot P.I., to discuss how a private investigator may be the secret weapon you need for your divorce!
This episode aims to help listeners understand what a private investigator (P.I.) does in a divorce. We often think about hiring a P.I. solely to find out if a spouse is having an affair. Yet, there is so much more they can do to help bolster the divorce case, including gathering information or creating a safe space for your next move.
Ultimately a private investigator can help you by confirming your gut instincts, unburdening emotional turmoil, and allowing you to gain clarity on how you want to proceed with your divorce.
Jan Barefoot founded Barefoot Professional Investigations in 1986 to provide targeted investigative services to clients in the southeastern United States. Jan’s unique interest in investigations was spurred by her experience working within the legal industry and a keen ability to uncover details. Jan’s passion is to impact the lives of Clients from favorable verdicts in capital murders cases to restoring spouses whose families have been wronged.
Jan and Susan cover these Golden Nugget topics:
- How a P.I. can be helpful to someone going through a divorce
- What a private investigator does when performing surveillance services
- Jan explains that when you are involved in a custody dispute there is information a P.I. can gather for your case
- Understanding the complexities of today’s digital world, digital forensics, and divorce
- Best practices for background checks when newly dating or even highering childcare services
You won’t believe all of the ways a P.I. can help you in your divorce. Listen to this eye-opening episode!

About this week's special guest: Jan Barefoot
Charlotte native Jan Barefoot founded Barefoot Professional Investigations in 1986 to provide targeted investigative services to clients in the southeastern United States. Jan’s unique interest in investigations was spurred by her experience working within the legal industry and a keen ability to uncover details. Jan’s passion is to impact the lives of Clients from favorable verdicts in capital murders cases to restoring spouses whose families have been wronged.
Her approach to private investigations has always been simple: deliver on commitments and provide unparalleled customer service. By nature, private investigation work is often quite sensitive and can be extremely challenging to all involved parties. Jan knows how critical it is to operate with respect, discretion, and professionalism. Over three decades later and after investigating over 200 murder cases and nearly 3,000 domestic cases, her investigators and staff continue to carry that torch. Jan holds a degree from King’s Business College and worked as a legal assistant for several years before moving to the investigative industry. She is an active member of the National Association of Legal Investigators, Intellenet, and the World Association of Detectives and enjoys continuing to grow and learn from the investigative community and industry colleagues.

In a Special Bonus Mini-sode, host Susan Guthrie is joined by returning guest Molly Dare Hillenbrand, the dynamic founder of HillenBRAND Media and the host of "On Air with Molly Dare." They discuss Molly's recent viral TikTok post with well over 1.5 million views that caused a media sensation nationwide with features in the New York Post and on NewsNationLive among others!
In a post captioned "Dating in Your 40s be like . . . " that must be seen to be believed (click here to watch!) Molly used a audio thread from a voicemail from "Dimitri" to highlight the sometimes treacherous waters of dating for women. Although Molly's TikTok videos are always popular (follow her at @mollydareofficial) this one went almost instantly viral with more than 1.5 million views and over 17,000 comments. While many of the comments were supportive and commiserated with the sometimes "narcissistic" dating pool out there, there was also a flood of misogynistic backlash and vitriol. Molly has since posted more videos in response and shares some of the lessons learned along the way so tune in and check this one out - you won't believe your ears! Trust us, if you are in a relationship, after listening to this episode, you will turn to your partner and say "thank you!"

This week host Susan Guthrie is joined by returning guest Jackie Pilossoph, Founder of Divorced Girl Smiling. Together Susan and Jackie discuss the importance of understanding the anger about your divorce and how to move past it so that you can thrive in your beautiful beyond!
Some people go ten, twenty, or even thirty years caught up in the anger of their divorce. For example, we all know that one person who continues to talk about how angry they are that their ex left them for another person, twenty years earlier. It’s normal and healthy to be angry. However, holding onto anger for too long will impact your entire life; and not in the best of ways.
During their conversation, Jackie shares seven practical tips and suggestions to help you acknowledge, process, and work through your emotions. If you are wondering HOW to let go of your anger - Jackie will help you! You have all the control of letting that anger go - it’s time to smile again.
Jackie Pilossoph is the creator and editor-in-chief of Divorced Girl Smiling, a website, podcast, and app. Jackie, who went through a divorce several years ago, is a former TV and newspaper journalist who spent 8 years writing her syndicated weekly column, Love Essentially for the Pioneer Press/Chicago Tribune.
Jackie and Susan discuss these Golden Nuggets:
- No judgment zone! Anger is a normal and healthy emotion
- If you are in the anger phase - it’s okay to acknowledge it to others
- “We can choose what we want to define ourselves as - anger, bitterness, or living in the past should not be one of those things.”
- Letting go does not mean forgetting what happened
- Why you should shift the focus on yourself and your children
- “The only time you should think about the past is if you are going to learn from it and do better.”
- “If you love yourself don’t say, ‘What if…’”
- The bottom line: You have to love yourself enough to let that anger go
This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to learn how to release their anger for good!

—
August kicks off with a special two-part episode from Host and Top Divorce Attorney, Susan Guthrie. A few weeks ago, she ran a post on Instagram that shared a recent Buzzfeed article that contained a bunch of divorce attorneys' craziest cases. The post was so popular that Susan decided to create a podcast episode devoted to some of the most memorable cases and experiences from past guest experts of the show.
In this episode, experts and friends, such as Billy Eddy, Kate Anthony, and Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, share their most memorable cases or clients with us. They also share an important lesson or takeaway that they learned from the experience. There are some amazing insights for everyone, as well as some juicy stories too.
Many of our experts wanted to participate in this special series, so we produced a two-part episode to fit all their wisdom and experiences. You'll hear Part One today and then tune in again on Thursday for Part Two.
Some of the most memorable cases and topics include:
- Lessons learned from a stunning divorce case involving a husband and wife, spanning over ten years, as told by High Conflict Expert Bill Eddy
- A true example of “once a cheater, always a cheater…” is exposed as Eric Broder retells his most memorable divorce case moment
- The Divorce Doctor, Dr. Elizabeth Cohen reflects on a case with a challenging client and the slow process of excavating the client’s experiences and feelings versus leaning into the story about her ex-partner “We make mistakes, but we are not a mistake.”
- Billion Dollar Divorce Attorney Beth McCormack shares her time as a child advocate of a young girl who was experiencing parental alienation, how she was able to help, and later watched the young girl grow up and succeed in life
- Plus, you’ll hear insightful and astounding experiences shared by Kate Anthony, Tracy Malone, and Karen and Catherine of My Divorce Solution!

On this week's episode, Host, Susan Guthrie and Special Guest, Cindy Gunraj discuss the layered and nuanced topic of cultural norms as they relate to divorce and how your family's expectations and beliefs can make a difficult experience even harder.
Cindy Gunraj is a brown woman who has tackled the difficult experience of divorce within a family construct and culture that prizes marriage and family above the individual. Her experience brought her into direct conflict with her parents and extended family in a way that made her divorce feel like a failure not only on a personal level, but on a societal one as well. The bright side is that Cindy persevered, worked to understand and appreciate the love while also challenging those cultural norms in a way that ultimately resulted in her receiving her family's support for her divorce and her parents' blessing. Cindy shares her experience and her insights to help others who are facing a divorce that collides with their family, culture, religion and more in her book, Winning Your Parents' Approval for Divorce: 7 Practices to Leave Your Marriage with Their Blessing.
Some topics that Cindy and Susan discuss:
- How Cindy's parents and extended family reacted to her announcement that she was getting a divorce
- The ways in which a brown woman's or man's self-image are tied to their cultural norms and challenged when those norms and broken
- Why boundary setting is a necessary part of seeking family approval and support in divorce
- Why "priming" is an essential tool for dealing with family get-togethers and events
- How self-care is at the core of finding a way to merge your own happiness with your family's expectations
This episode is the essential starter guide for merging your family, culture and your need for personal happiness and growth - be sure to listen!

In this episode, Host Susan Guthrie and Top Financial Expert, Olivia Summerhill CFP, CDFA, CMC, share insights into the significance that the marital standard of living (MSOL) may have on your divorce and how it can impact your ability to maintain your lifestyle post-divorce.
"I just want to maintain my standard of living." Divorce attorneys and financial professionals hear that a lot but what does that really mean? What constitutes your standard of living and how does the law look at the situation when it comes to helping people continue that lifestyle in their life BEYOND? The MSOL issue most commonly arises when discussing just how much spousal support or alimony will be paid by the higher earning spouse to the other. Many people assume that they will be entitled to receive an amount that allows them to continue that lifestyle but what about the fact that there is only so much money to go around? We discuss this all and more in the episode.
Olivia Summerhill, CFP, CDFA, CMC founded a financial consulting firm dedicated to helping women maintain their lifestyles and thrive post-divorce by educating and empowering them financially. Although Olivia's niche is celebrity and ultra-high net worth clients, she works with clients in diverse financial situations through her extensive pro bono work. Olivia knows that when it comes to money and finances, there is nothing more empowering than knowledge and she shares so many golden nuggets with listneners in this episode - it's a MUST listen!

This week our Host, Susan Guthrie is joined again by Vassia Sarantopoulou, Counselor - Psychologist, Msc and the creator of AntiLoneliness who returns to the podcast to help us to break out of the trap of perfectionism.
Are you a Perfectionist? See if this sounds like you:
Perfectionists strain compulsively and unceasingly toward unattainable goals, and measure their self-worth by productivity and accomplishment. Pressuring oneself to achieve unrealistic goals inevitably sets the person up for disappointment. Perfectionists tend to be harsh critics of themselves when they fail to meet their expectations.
Psychologist Vassia Sarantopoulou has a huge following for her site AntiLoneliness because she makes sense! She has a gift for giving us insights into our behaviors and patterns helps us to see how they are failing us and how we can break free. This week she tackles Perfectionism (something I might have a slight issue with myself) and this episode will be the beginning of your path to imperfection and FREEDOM! Be sure to listen!

In Part Two of this special two-part episode focused on Parent Coordination, Susan and Attorney/Mediator, Carolyn Kalos dive below the surface to dig into some deeper considerations when working with a PC in your high conflict case. Carolyn shares some examples from her cases of what works and what doesn't and gives you some great questions to ask BEFORE you decide to add a parent coordinator into the mix!
Carolyn Kalos has been practicing in New York City, some of the busiest courts in the country for over 25 years and spend many of those years in the courtroom with some of the most difficult cases involving children. She knows the ins and outs of the system AND it's limitations. One thing that Carolyn knows for sure is that the court is very often not the best place to resolve issues between co-parents when it comes to disagreements about their kids.
With her special expertise and many years of experience in the family courts as an advocate, Carolyn is passionate about helping families stay out of the system as much as possible, even high conflict cases. She is a sought-after Parent Coordinator (PC) in New York and is seeing a large uptick in the number of judges appointing PCs and in attorneys suggesting them to clients. But what exactly is Parent Coordination? How does it work, how do you find a good one and how does it keep you and your family out of court?

We are back with Domestic Abuse Part Two where Dr. Christine Cocchiola discusses the increasing awareness of another form of IPV, Post-Separation Abuse, which is increasingly in the headlines with the ongoing high profile cases of Kim Kardashion and Kanye West and the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.
Abuse between intimate partners comes in many forms. All are destructive, but some are so insidious and pervasive that they are incredibly common, yet vastly unknown by the public and often, in fact, by the victims themselves. With physical violence and abuse, it is very easy to identify that behavior is abusive, but when it comes to coercive control and emotional abuse, it is much harder to identify. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor herself, is dedicated to educating, supporting and advocating for others suffering in this horrible cycle of abuse. In Part One, Dr. Cocchiola discussed coercive control and she now helps us to understand the many faces of Post-Separation Abuse and the many dangers it presents.
About this week's special guest:
Dr. Christine Marie Cocchiola, a Coercive Control Advocate, Educator, Researcher, & Survivor has been dedicated to the field of intimate partner violence since her late teens, beginning her career at a local umbrella agency where she continues to volunteer. Dr. Cocchiola is a tenured professor at a Connecticut Community College and an adjunct instructor at NYU, teaching in the Social Work field for over 20 years. Her expertise is in the areas of intimate partner violence including child abuse and trauma, developing and presenting workshops on these topics, both nationally and internationally. She is a Founding Member of the International Coercive Control Conference and on the Board of the National Coalition Against Domestic. Dr. Cocchiola has a small private practice serving individuals and families.

This week our Host, Susan Guthrie is joined by Dr. Christine Cocchiola, and expert in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) for an important two-part episode that delves into some of the most insidious forms of abuse: coercive control and post-separation abuse.
Abuse between intimate partners comes in many forms. All are destructive, but some are so insidious and pervasive that they are incredibly common, yet vastly unknown by the public and often, in fact, by the victims themselves. With physical violence and abuse, it is very easy to identify that behavior is abusive, but when it comes to coercive control and emotional abuse, it is much harder to identify. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor herself, is dedicated to educating, supporting and advocating for others suffering in this horrible cycle of abuse. In this episode, you will learn the signs to look for when coercive control is an issue, strategies to extricate yourself and what we as a society need to do to protect victims and stop abusers.
Return on Thursday for Part Two where Dr. Cocchiola discusses the increasing awareness of another form of IPV, Post-Separation Abuse, which is increasingly in the headlines with the ongoing high profile cases of Kim Kardashion and Kanye West and the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.
About this week's special guest:
Dr. Christine Marie Cocchiola, a Coercive Control Advocate, Educator, Researcher, & Survivor has been dedicated to the field of intimate partner violence since her late teens, beginning her career at a local umbrella agency where she continues to volunteer. Dr. Cocchiola is a tenured professor at a Connecticut Community College and an adjunct instructor at NYU, teaching in the Social Work field for over 20 years. Her expertise is in the areas of intimate partner violence including child abuse and trauma, developing and presenting workshops on these topics, both nationally and internationally.

This week our Host, Susan Guthrie spends some time with, Vassia Sarantopoulou, Counselor - Psychologist, Msc and the creator of AntiLoneliness to explore what it means to be lonely and why being alone does not necessarily equal loneliness.
As humans we crave connection. We long to feel that we are not alone, but does being alone equal being lonely? According to our expert this week, Vassia Sarantopoulou, not necessarily! In fact, there is a big difference in being alone and feeling lonely. You can be surrounded by people and feel more alone than if you were stranded on a desert island by yourself. Honestly, there is no more lonely place than in a relationship that no longer works for you and feeds your soul. In this episode, Vassia and Susan discuss the two main types of loneliness, how loneliness can affect your mental health and some of Vassia's best tips on overcoming loneliness to live your best life!
If you are worried about being lonely as your relationship ends, or are feeling lonely in the midst of your marriage, this is an important first step to thriving alone!

Kate Anthony is back and she's right in her wheelhouse - helping you to decide whether there is still a chance for your relationship or if it's just simply, time to go.
This week, Susan and Kate dive deep into how you can make this incredibly difficult decision. We know that on average, most people spend 4 YEARS trying to decide whether to stay or go. 4 YEARS! Other times, there is a clear sign - think Abuse, Adultery or Addiction for many - but for many, it is a slow drip of wondering, trying, giving up and then trying again. Kate gets it - she really does and she helps people every day to make this decision and if the decision is to go, then she helps them make a plan forward.
For anyone struggling with the viability of their marriage or relationship, this is the episode for you.

You loved Laura Friedman Williams when she first joined us in June 2021 to celebrate the launch of her first book "Available: A Memoir of Sex and Dating After A Marriage Ends" and so many listeners found comfort and hope in her candid recount of her journey to finding her inner woman again after her long-term marriage ended with her husband's affair.
Well she's back and better than ever althought the last year has had some highs and lows as she has navigated the finalization of her divorce, the moving out of the marital home and the purchase and renovation of her very own new home. In her unique and special way, Laura shares an update on her personal journey that is, as always, deeply personal and revealing. You will find much to relate to, laugh about and cry too as we catch up with Laura today as the book officially launches in the United States. Tune in and find out why after all she has been through, Laura says she feels today "that anything is possible."
If you did not have the opportunity to listen to Laura's original, very special two-part episode, you don't want to miss them:
Some Times Too Much is Just Enough Part One
Some Times Too Much is Just Enough Part Two
More about Laura Friedman Williams:
Laura Friedman Williams is a native New Yorker whose writing credits consist of countless PTA newsletters and program notes for talent shows and school auctions, as well as ghostwritten bar mitzvah speeches for many of her friends. Her wit and wisdom have not yet made it to a larger audience, but her years spent raising children and running events at her children’s schools have kept her writing steady and sharp. She credits her degree in English from Washington University and the ten formative years she spent in book publishing – first in Subsidiary Rights at Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing) and then at Henry Holt & Company, then as a book scout and finally as a literary agent – for giving her a deep love and respect for the written word. She credits the break-up of her marriage for finally giving her the subject matter about which she both needed and wanted to write. She lives in downtown Manhattan with her three children.

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Host, Susan Guthrie speaks with documentary filmmaker, Ginger Gentile, a child of a high conflict divorce herself, about the truly heart-breaking cases of parental alienation and estrangement that cause a parent to lose contact with their child and even more heartbreaking, for a child to lose a loving parent. Alienation is a form of child abuse wherein on parent manipulates a child in order to damage that child's feelings for their other parent and can cause irreperable harm to that child. However, it remains an intractible problem for alienated parents to repair and that courts are ill-equipped to deal with. Ginger's latest film, Erasing Family, is a look within the dynamics of alienation through the eyes of the children involved and their parents, step-parents and siblings. Notably, there is hope there too as some of the children have re-established relationships with their alienated parent after years of separation.
Parental alienation affects more than 22,000 families in the U.S. alone. If you or someone you know is experiencing this tragic loss, please listen to this episode. Ginger shares some helpful insights and tips for managing the unmanageable!
For another episode on the topic of alienation please listen to:
Parental Alienation Solutions that WORK! with Special Guest, Dorcy Pruter
More About Ginger Gentile:
Ginger Gentile is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Her first film on this topic, ERASING DAD, was filmed in Argentina and resulted in joint-custody legislation being enacted. Her latest film, ERASING FAMILY, currently streaming on all major platforms, exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives, a problem that affects 22 million families in the US alone.
In her time serving as the Executive Director of the National Parents Organization in 2019 she added six new state affiliates and garnered national press attention for the Shared Parenting Report Card. Now, she is coaching parents suffering from parental alienation to help them reunite with their erased children GingerGentile.com/consulting
Her program for replicating the success of reunited families will soon be a podcast, course and book.

Enjoy this special bonus episode featuring Attorney Terri Breer honoring the work and legacy of the late Dr. Constance Ahrons, author of The Good Divorce and We're Still Family. Dr. Ahrons groundbreaking work including her longitudinal studies of children and families in divorce and her innovative new construct of a "good divorce" helped to start and found the postive divorce movement. Dr. Ahrons will be honored with the SCMA Forrest "Woody" Mosten Star Award for Innovation and Excellence in Family Mediation at the upcoming Southern California Mediation Association's Family Mediation Institute which will be held in Palm Desert, CA on May 20-22, 2022. Terri is the creator and Chair of this wonderful event and she will be presenting a tribute program to Dr. Ahrons, with our friend and colleague Dr. Debra Dupree, at the Institute.
These books changed the popular thinking of the destructive divorce and paved the way forward for a better understand of what does, and does not, make for a good divorce. These books, and all the work of Dr. Ahrons, are as relevant and needed today as they were when she first started. Be sure to listen and come join us in the desert!

In an episode right out of the headlines, Susan speaks this week with Celebrity Divorce Attorney, Holly Davis, who represents Dillon Passage, the estranged husband of none other than Joe Exotic, "the Tiger King" of Netflix fame. Even from behind bars where he is serving a 21 year sentence for attempting to hire a hitman to kill his business rival, Joe Exotic manages to continue to use the media to put his "spin" on his divorce from his husband and Holly joins us to set the record straight.
Although most people are interested in celebrity divorces for the drama and trauma, there are much deeper lessons to be learned and Holly's strong message to her client, and to listeners, is that there is a great deal power in choosing to take the high road in your divorce process. We walk through the benefits of not engaging in the hijinks and mudslinging that your spouse may choose to engage in. You can take the high road, as Dillon Passage has chosen to do, so be sure to listen, get the facts and get on that high road today!
Listen to Holly's Previous Episode on Divorce & Beyond: "Fraud and Divorce: What We Can Learn From the Zobrist Divorce"
More about Attorney Holly Davis:
Holly Davis has been representing Dillon Passage, former spouse of "Tiger King" Joe Exotic. When Joe announced that he had recently been diagnosed with cancer, Holly supported her client in taking the high road and pressing pause on divorce proceedings, which led Joe to falsely claim Dillon was foot-dragging on finality.
Holly is a founding partner of Kirker Davis LLP in Austin,Texas, a leading matrimonial boutique law firm. You can find out more at www.kirkerdavis.com.

Since April is Alcohol Abuse Awareness month, Susan visits with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, The Divorce Doctor, about the risks, challenges and hardship that alcohol use disorder can wreak in the lives of individuals and families. It's all about raising awareness, starting a conversation and letting you know you are not alone if you are struggling with substance abuse issues.
Our favorite therapist, Dr. Elizabeth Cohen a/k/a The Divorce Doctor, returns to speak with Susan about Alcohol Use Disorder, Alcoholism and more in this deeply personal episode. Both Dr. Elizabeth and Susan have family histories of alcohol abuse and each share their own experience and insights to help you get curious about the role alcohol plays in your life and what to consider if you find it is a relationship that needs examining. For those struggling with a family member or friend who is numbing out or more with alcohol, Dr. Elizabeth shares some tips on the path to wellness for them and for you.
We live in a society that glamorizes normalizes the use of alcohol for so many things - celebration, relaxation, de-stressing and more but when alcohol becomes a problem that same society shames and stigmatizes individuals. It's time to shine the light, open the conversation, speak frankly and advance the dialogue so that we all can lead healthy lives - whether with alcohol or without!

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Host, Susan Guthrie speaks with Best-Selling Author, Silvia Foti, whose book The Nazi's Granddaughter: How I Discovered My Grandfather Was a War Criminal caused a world-wide sensation and sparked a deeper conversation around her deeply personal journey through denial, loss of identity and eventual acceptance and decision to honor the truth.
At first it may be hard to see where Silvia Foti's journey from the treasured granddaughter of a celebrated national hero, to the becoming the myth-busting heir to a history of deceit, anti-Semitism and Nazi collaboration intersects with the journey through divorce but trust us - it does! After all, when we are faced with a reality that we find unacceptable, such as divorce or other unwelcome major life change, isn't it human nature to enter some period of denial? Silvia certainly did when she discovered the truth about her grandfather's participation in atrocities during the war. And when you have believed for years that your role in life is wife, husband, partner and/or spouse, isn't there some element of loss of identity when things drastically change during a divorce? Silvia experienced this as well and more on her 20-year long journey to uncover and then document the truth of her history.
This is a riveting story of one woman's journey for truth and her many lessons that will help you on your way - be sure to listen today!
More About Silvia Foti:
SILVIA FOTI, author of the memoir The Nazi’s Granddaughter: How I Discovered My Grandfather Was a War Criminal, is an award-winning investigative journalist in Chicago and a high school literature teacher. She holds master’s degrees in journalism, education, and creative nonfiction. Silvia made a deathbed promise to her mother to write a book about her famous, WWII hero grandfather, Jonas Noreika, twenty-one years ago. Silvia’s grandmother begged her not to write about her husband. “Just let history lie,” she whispered. Silvia had no idea that in keeping her promise to her mother, her discoveries would bring her to a personal crisis, challenge her Catholic faith, unearth Holocaust denial, and expose an official cover-up by the Lithuanian government. Her goal in writing this story of her grandfather, known as General Storm in Lithuania, is to upend Lithuania’s narrative that Lithuanians had nothing to do with killing Jews, that it was all done by German Nazis.

April is officially recognized as Month of the Military Child. There are more than 1.6 million military children who face many challenges and unique experiences as a result of their parents' service. In fact, the entire family is faced with challenges when a member serves in the military so we are re-releasing this wonderful episode from the archive with Kristina Kaiser to help shed light on the sacrifices that families and children make to support our military. For more information on the Month of the Military Child visit: https://www.defense.gov/Spotlights/Month-of-the-Military-Child/
We often remember to honor those who serve, and rightly so, but the family members, especially the spouses of our active military members also make sacrifices in the name of our country and deserve our thanks as well. In honor of Military Family Appreciation Month, Kristina Kaiser, herself the former wife for almost 30 years of a Marine officer, gives an insider view into the many ways that our military families give of themselves, often to their detriment, while a family member is in active service. Facing many moves and relocations, job limitations, unpaid volunteer work expectancies, co-parenting alone and more, the spouses and children of military personnel also can be affected by the military life. Beyond that, divorce can be extra complicated when an active or former member of the military is involved. The pensions, benefits and more that are one of the highlights of military careers are limited in some ways in being divided during the divorce process and the non-military spouse may end up receiving less than the might have if they were not dealing with military benefits. Whether you are a member of the military, a military family member or one of those who owe them our thanks, this episode is a wonderful reminder of all they sacrifice for their country and why those thanks are deserved!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This episode is meant to honor our military families and to give a glimpse of the hardships and sacrifices that they make for out country. We mention some of the issues that can arise in a military divorce but if you are divorcing and military benefits are at issue, it is strongly advised that you seek counsel from an attorney in your area who is well-versed in military benefit in divorce.

In this memorable episode, Host Susan Guthrie chats with Coach and Author, Jennifer Warren Medwin, whose recently published book, Strategies and Tips From A Divorce Coach: A Roadmap to Move Forward is a goldmine of easy to remember and to adopt strategies and frameworks for moving successfully through your divorce and into your future. It's like a divorce coach in a book!
One reality of divorce is that there is way too much information for us to take in at a time when we are emotionally and physically exhausted and strained. It is hard to remember our name some days let alone the necessary strategies that we need to survive and thrive through the process. Divorce Coach and Author, Jennifer Warren Medwin has taken all the key elements that anyone going through divorce or other major life change needs, and has broken them down with mnemonics and other simple teaching tools to make them memorable and easy to follow so that you can keep them on sticky notes in your head, ready to use when needed!
Listen to the episode to hear all about the Three A's of Change, how to stay C.A.L.M. in challenging situations, some B.R.A.V.E. skills you can use to alleviate stress and how to L.E.A.N. into insecurity.
These golden nuggets and more are the sticky notes you need to get through your divorce!

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Host Susan Guthrie chats with leading relationship expert, Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick to delve into how our attachment styles can keep us mired in unsuccessful relationships and how doing the work to reprogram those styles can lead to not only a healthy divorce, but also happier and healthier relationships in your beyond!
So often as people move through the divorce they continue and repeat the negative patterns that permeated the relationship leading to a toxic and conflict-ridden process.

- What is relational programming and how does it impact adult relationships
- Things to consider when considering divorce
- Ways to navigate a healthy break-up
- Why those butterflies you feel with someone new may be carrying red flags
- Why divorce is a great time to start the reprogramming
- Dr. Liz's personal experience with a healthy divorce
Before you continue the toxic cycle of your relational programming into your divorce, listen to this episode and start reprogramming your relationships and your life!

- What are the benefits of preparing for a divorce early in the process?

- What should people be focused on when preparing for a divorce?

Face it, if you could have great conversations with your spouse you might not be facing divorce or separation. So often, by the time that couples reach the point of divorce, they have long since stopped communicating effectively and often have actually established toxic patterns in how they speak to each other that are ultimately self-defeating. Button pushing, blaming and other communication rabbit holes sabotage the ability to have successful conversations.
My guest this week, Liz Becker is, among her many skills, an expert communications coach as well as a noted divorce professional, so she knows just how important it is to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with your spouse during, and after, the divorce process. This is an opportunity to change those negative patterns and habits and start to have conversations together that move you forward into a new future. Liz will walk you through the 5 essential tips for setting yourself up for a successful conversation, during your divorce and in your life!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic discussion about sex crimes against children and we use appropriate anatomical terms and language throughout the episode.
Sadly, in the world we live in today, talking with your kids about sex and how babies are made isn't the most difficult conversation you need to have with them. With the reality of sex crimes against children, and in a world where there are untold predators that prey on the most vulnerable, parents must also warn and prepare their children for potential dangers that can lurk most anywhere. This week's guest, veteran sex crimes prosecutor, Stacey Honowitz, has had a front row seat for decades and has worked tirelessly to convict those who violate our children. She has literally seen it all, including that fact that many parents don't have those difficult talks with their kids about the dangers that lurk out there. She knows how necessary it is to talk with your kids about this and she wants you to know as well. In fact, she has coined the term "parental malpractice" for the failure to prepare your kids for the potential situation where someone touches them improperly or worse.
Stacey shares some true crime details in this episode, as well as specifics on what you need to tell your kids. She is also the author of three books, The Bully at School is Really Uncool, Genius With a Penis, Don’t Touch and My Privates are Private, all designed to help you have those necessary conversations with your children. Don't commit parental malpractice. Listen to this episode and help your kids stay safe!
SPECIAL BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away one copy of each of Stacey's three books this week. If you would like to be a winner, simply share the BOOK GIVEAWAY post on Instagram to your Stories (you can find it on the @susanguthrie, @divorceandbeyond or @staceybhonowitz accounts) AND tag all three accounts!

This week Host, Susan Guthrie talks with Narcissistic Abuse Expert, Tracy Malone, all about what you absolutely MUST know if you are divorcing a narcissist!
Divorce is hard. Divorcing a Narcissist? Well that is a whole different ballgame! One of the biggest problems for those who are divorcing someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is that they don't understand what they are dealing with and are therefore, unable to plan and strategize. In fact, most people divorcing narcissist feel like they are constantly playing defense, trying to catch up and simply treading water in a attempt to survive the constant onslaught of motions, communications and outright lies that seem never-ending. Tracy Malone is a survivor of narcissistic abuse herself and she joins Susan today to help you to learn all about what to expect in your divorce from a narcissist so that you can be proactive, plan and move your divorce forward. Tracy recently released her first book, Divorcing Your Narcissist: You Can't Make this Sh** Up, a major collection of facts and examples of what you can expect during your divorce as well as tips and advice for how to handle each and every situation!
Listen in to this episode if you are divorcing a Narcissist and get the facts that give you the ADVANTAGE because as Tracy says, "if you are aware, you can prepare!"

Fresh off her visits with Good Morning America and The Today Show (among others), America's Favorite Dating Expert, Bela Gandhi, stops in to chat with Susan Guthrie about the very human drama of falling in love with the wrong person and how we can "fix our picker" to find a lasting love.
We have talked about the fact that Peak Dating Season is ongoing in January each year but for many people all that dating leads to making poor choices in partners, sometimes over and over again. In fact, although we may think that we would select better spouses after going through a divorce, in reality, with each subsequent marriage, the chances of divorce greatly increase. The numbers break down like this:
- 41% of first marriages end in divorce.
- 60% of second marriages end in divorce.
- 73% of third marriages end in divorce.
So why do we continue to make poor choices in mates and much more importantly, HOW DO WE FIX OUR PICKER?
Bela Gandhi, the Founder of Smart Dating Academy knows and she shares it ALL. The red flags vs. the green flags and why we ignore them both. The fact that we are hard-wired for the hormone rush but that oxytocin glow can derail our real desires, and bottom line, how to identify the elevator people in your life so that you can find the right one for your love life!
It's all here and trust us, when you are done listening to this episode, you WILL be psychotically optimistic about your chances of find real and lasting love too!
To hear more about the elevator people in our lives check out Bela's recent phenomenal TEDx Chicago Talk and listen to her BRAND NEW PODCAST! Smart Dating Academy: The Podcast with Bela Gandhi. Susan is Bela's first guest: Listen to the episode here: https://audioboom.com/posts/8006156

In this episode, Part Two of Two, America's Favorite Parenting Expert, Christina McGhee returns to continue her talk with Susan Guthrie about the sometimes awkward and often difficult experience of living together and co-parenting in the same home while going through a divorce.
Divorce is stressful for every member of the family and when financial or personal factors result in the family continuing to reside in one home together while the process plays out, the transition to separate parenting can be especially difficult for both the parents, as well as their children.

Christina shares 6 essential tips for parents to consider and implement in order to make the co-parenting work, even when it's hard when together in the same space. In addition, Christina shares the two major upsides for your family that can come from this experience!

For More Information on This Week's Special Guest: Christina McGhee is a speaker and divorce parenting expert who believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. While splitting up is undeniably hard, with the right kind of information and support, she thinks parents can be children's absolute best resource as life changes.
As a coach with 20+ years of experience, Christina is dedicated to providing parents with the tools and practical support they need to get it right for their kids. She is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, Parenting Apart: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids.
As a child of divorce and as a bonus mom (aka step-mom), Christina gets plenty of opportunities to practice what she preaches. Together she and her husband have four “adultish” children (2 bonus, 2 bio), an ever-growing community of rescue dogs/cats, and an obscene number of chickens.

In this episode, Top Family Law Attorney, Susan Guthrie speaks with friend and host of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast, Kate Anthony about the right way to tell your spouse that you have decided to divorce.
It is January 3rd, 2022, the first Monday in the New Year and that means that it is D-Day (Divorce Day) the day that more people reach out to divorce attorneys and other divorce professionals than any other day of the year. This kicks off what we in the industry call Divorce Month (January) and Divorce Season (January - March) because traditionally, this is when people, those who have been considering divorce for a long time or those who make a quick decision, find themselves pulling the trigger and moving forward.
The decision to divorce is hard, and can take a long time, but the next step, telling your spouse, is one of the most critical steps in the process and it is imperative to do it right! Kate Anthony, Susan's guru on all things communication, joins her for this episode to help you plan that conversation so that you start things off the best way possible. Trust us, this is truly one of the most important conversations that you will ever have and it pays to put time and effort into doing it the best way possible so that you can, as Kate says in the episode, put your head on the pillow that night knowing you did your best.
They say that you should start as you mean to go and that is never more true than when starting a divorce. How you tell your spouse, will set the stage for how your divorce will unfold and in many ways, how you will continue into your BEYOND so take the time and do it right!
About this week's special guest:
KATE ANTHONY:
Kate Anthony is the host of the critically acclaimed podcast The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast and the creator of the groundbreaking online coaching program, Should I Stay or Should I Go? which helps women make the most difficult decision of their lives using coaching tools, relationship education, geeky neuroscience, community support, and deep self-work.
Kate empowers women to find their strength, passion, and confidence even in the most disempowering of circumstances and helps them move forward with concrete plans set on a solid foundation, putting their children at the center (not in the middle) of all their decisions.
In addition to her online programs, Kate works privately with clients all over the world.
Kate lives in Los Angeles with her teenage son (whom she lovingly co-parents with her ex-husband), their two dogs, and a handful of fish.

In this week's episode, Host, Susan Guthrie, chats with Author and Financial Coach, Millen Livis who shares with listeners the essential four steps to map your path to financial independence after divorce (or really, any time in life)!
In the realm of sad but true statements that divorce attorneys hear all the time is that someone has stayed in a marriage far longer than they would have chosen to because they were afraid they could not go it alone financially. In other cases, the fight over money when one spouse is financially dependent on the other, creates additional conflict and hard feelings in the process as one person feels they are doing all the giving and the other feels they are having to fight for every penny. The fact is, there is no power in being dependent in any way on another person and this can be especially true in a marriage or relationship. Millen Davis, knows the truth of this all too well having been there herself. Now financially independent and thriving, Millen helps others to find their own unique path to financial freedom and she is going to share the four essentials with you so that you can, as she says in the episode, get started right after you listen!
They say wisdom is power, but financial freedom is essential to living your best life so sit down, grab a pen and paper, and get ready to get started in mapping your path to financial independence!

In a very special Bonus Minisode, Susan reached out to friend and colleague, Jenny Stevens, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, who has 20 years of experience working with adolescents and families as a school counselor, for advice on how to talk with your kids about the traumatic and scary ongoing epidemic of school shootings plaguing our country.
As many listeners know, the recent school shooting at Oxford High School in Oxford, Michigan on November 30, 2021, hit especially close to home as it was the school that her niece and nephew recently graduated from and the community where her brother and his family lived and thrived for many years. The fact it, there have been 222 school shooting so far this year and the threat of an active shooter is one that every child in school in this country faces. We need to talk with our kids, support them and help them feel safe in this scary world while also dealing with our own feelings of fear and fury that this keeps happening.
As always, when listeners reach out asking for guidance, Susan wants to talk with the people who have the experience and expertise to share their advice so in response to your many questions and comments on the topic, she reached out to Jenny Stevens, who until recently was a school counselor for more than 20 years. Jenny dropped everything to be here and share her top tips for talking with your kids about school shootings and even breaks it down for our younger children and our pre-teens and teens. This mini episode is here to help you talk about something that we all wish we didn't have to talk about.
Please listen.

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Dr. Debi Silber, the Founder of the Post-Betrayal Transformation Institute is back to visit with Host, Susan Guthrie, and she is here to help you break free from the victim mentality that can accompany the betrayal of a loved one, including adultery and financial infidelity.
Dr. Debi is a holistic psychologist whose ground-breaking research on the topic of betrayal and recovery led her to identify the four stages of betrayal and create a program to help people move beyond the pain and heal so that they can thrive and be happy again. Unfortunately, many people find themselves stuck in Stage 2 of the process, dwelling in the victim role, the hurt, anger and rage. There are many valid reasons to remain in this space but they will keep you from moving forward and beyond the betrayal to live a healthy and happy life.
In this episode, Dr. Debi outlines the four stages of the process and shares tips and insights into the "whys" and "hows" of healing and learning to trust again. She herself has been down the path and healed and that in and of itself is a story worth listening to this episode for!
As a VERY SPECIAL GIFT for listeners of Divorce & Beyond, Dr. Debi is giving away THREE of HER BEST-SELLING BOOKS to one very lucky person. Just listen to the episode all the way to the end to learn how to win!

On this week's episode, Host Susan Guthrie is joined by top family law attorney, Holly Davis, to discuss the fascinating celebrity divorce of Ben and Julianna Zobrist, which has been playing out for months in the media with allegations of fraud. Susan and Holly unpack the claims and bring a dose of reality into the conversation to help you to understand the role of fraud in divorce.
Former Chicago Cubs pitcher, Ben Zobrist has been very vocal in his allegations and claims of fraud in his divorce proceeding but is any of it true and if it is, what effect does it actually have on the divorce? Top family law attorney, Holly Davis discussed the facts of the case and what the legal effect of Ben's position is when it comes to a final judgment from the court. It is not unusual for a disgruntled spouse to cast aspersions on their ex, but is it just legal positioning or will it actually affect the outcome and sway the judge in court? Find out in this fascinating episode!
Some of the topics we discuss:
- Judges are supposed to be neutral, but will facts like this tend to push them to one party's side?
- How can an allegation of fraud play out in a divorce case? Does it become a separate case, or do the two legal cases become combined?
- How would a finding of fraud manifest in a final divorce decree?
- How commonly does fraud come up in divorce cases?
- Does having an affair increase the risk of being accused of fraud in a divorce proceeding?
- Can Zobrist make any other claims, like "mental anguish"?

In this episode Host, Susan Guthrie, chats with two of the co-founders of Vesta Divorce, Deanna Coyle and Samantha Vona, about the importance of finding and building the correct team of professionals to support you through your divorce
One of the most common memories people share about their divorce is just how very ALONE they felt as they went through the process. Indeed, the process can be very isolating and that feeling alone will make what is already difficult even harder to get through. Both Deanna Coyle and Samantha Vona have experienced that sense of loneliness that divorce can bring in their own lives and it led them to join forces to create Vesta Divorce, an essential resource and place to find your trusted team. They have built a better way to navigate the divorce process by providing direct access to what you need through complimentary events and concierge services, vetted, expert professionals, and a compassionate community of support. Come and listen in and we promise, you won't feel alone anymore!

More Information About This Week's Special Guests:
Deanna Coyle is Co-Founder, Concierge Manager, and Leader of Ancillary Professionals. As a mother who has gone through a long and financially and emotionally draining divorce, Deanna understands how isolating and frustrating the divorce process can be. Her challenging divorce led her to create divorce programs that educate, empower, and guide people in navigating the crucial decisions and considerations during and after divorce. In 2015, Deanna left her successful financial planning business to work exclusively on creating Vesta.
Deanna helps Vesta’s clients connect with experienced and caring professionals in the areas of divorce and self-care that best suit their needs. She is dedicated to transforming the divorce process by helping people avoid courtroom battles and the resulting anger, resentment, and hurt that affect all involved. She is focused on the emotional, financial, and physical health and well-being of both parents and children.
Samantha Vona is a Co-Founder of Vesta. As a child of divorce at the age of three, Samantha watched not only her parents but many other family members get divorced over her lifetime. Samantha is passionate about helping families make informed decisions instead of emotionally driven decisions. She enjoys speaking with parents about her experience, and how she turned part of her identity into a focus to help others during what can be a difficult life transition.
With a background in finance and trained as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), she is especially passionate about making sure people understand their financial options in divorce and beyond. Samantha understands the value of a team approach to help clients make decisions that positively impact themselves and their families.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this week host Susan Guthrie speaks with Attorney Uswah Khan who has helped scores of victims of abuse obtain restraining orders in order protect themselves, and their children, from suffering further at the hands of their abusers.
On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. Restraining orders offer one of the few tools that a victim has to try to protect themselves from ongoing abuse but getting a restraining order can be scary, confusing and complicated. To make matters worse, many victims cannot afford to retain an attorney to help them navigate the court process making it even more difficult to apply for relief. Attorney Uswah Khan has spent the past few years representing and assisting victims of domestic violence as the staff attorney at The Center for Family Justice in Connecticut. In this episode, Uswah demystifies the process of obtaining a restraining order and walks you through the steps so that you are empowered to get the protection that you, and your children, need. This episode truly will save lives!
If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic or intimate partner violence please contact The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or Text "START" to 88788

In this week's episode, Host Susan Guthrie is joined by Child Specialist, Kathleen Zumpano, who is an expert and pioneer in techniques and methods for safely bringing the voices of children into the divorce process.
Divorce professionals the world over shudder at the thought of children being put in the middle of their parents' divorces. We have nightmares about that question, "Which parent do you want to live with?" so for ages the prevailing wisdom has been to keep the children as far from the courtroom and professionals as possible, but then aren't they somewhat lost in the process? Kathleen Zumpano, MA, LMFT believes passionately that the voices of children should be heard when divorce affects truly every aspect of their lives - BUT IT MUST DONE SAFELY! Kathleen specializes in child-inclusive mediation, which includes individual, private meetings with the children, to ensure that feedback given to parents includes the child's own experiences and feelings. She shares important insights and information on this child centered process that will open your mind, and your heart, to the possibilities!
This is a very important episode for all parents going through divorce AND the professionals who assist them!
SPECIAL GIFT: To download copies of Kathleen's FREE resource on “The Voice of the Child” and “A Child’s Experience” visit her website at www.kathleenzumpano.com!

There are prevailing international protocols for working with children, this workshop will provide an overview of research, as well as introduce participants to tools for screening parents, determining the level of involvement of the child, how information is elicited and how to prepare parents to hear feedback and information regarding their child/ren.

The Awesome Women of exExperts, T.H. Irwin and Jessica Klingbaum, join Host, Susan Guthrie this week to share their collective thoughts and wisdom on divorce because as they say, "they've been there so they get it!"
For so many people the divorce process is like a firehose of information that is just overwhelming and confusing. It is a rush of information to learn, decisions to be made and emotions to be managed and you have no way of knowing who or what to believe or listen to. My guests this week, T.H. Irwin and Jessica Klingbaum, get it. They really do, because they have been there (boy, have they been there) and they want to pay it forward by helping you. This episode is the onramp to express lane on the highway that is divorce so hit play and take charge of your journey now!
T.H. and Jessica also share the details on their personal and intertwined divorce journeys and let me just say, after 30 plus years as a divorce attorney, I thought I had heard it all - I HAD NOT!
Tune in to hear their story and to find out what the "it" of divorce is!

Celeb Divorce Attorney, Christopher Melcher, joins Host, Susan Guthrie this week to discuss the ongoing courtroom and personal drama that is unfolding in the Britney Spears Conservatorship matter.
From her public "melt-down" to the current courtroom drama, the world has watched the ongoing drama of Britney Spears' legal issues with fascination for 13 years. As the current legal challenges to her father's ongoing role as her conservator in the face of allegations of gross abuse of that position, the media reports are a constant barrage of information and mis-information. This week's guest, Attorney Christopher Melcher, has done the homework and is here to give an accurate legal view of the many failings of the court system and those who took advantage of the very person the system was supposed to protect, Britney Spears.
This is a fascinating look behind the scenes of #FreeBritney Movement and a cautionary tale of the havoc that greed and incompetence can wreak in the lives of the vulnerable.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond® Podcast, Leading Family Law Attorney, Lauren Hunt visits to discuss with Host, Susan Guthrie® everything you need to know to pick the right attorney for your divorce case!
There are few decisions in divorce as important as choosing your attorney who will be your guide, advisor and advocate through the process. The common knee jerk reaction is to search far and wide for the "shark, bulldog or barracuda" attorney. We think we need the biggest, baddest lawyer out there to protect us, but is this true? Is a down and dirty fighter what we truly want and need? Attorney Lauren Hunt joins Susan to talk about what you should be looking for in choosing your attorney. Lauren covers topics such as:
- What questions to ask a prospective attorney;
- Where to find the best attorney prospects;
- How to read those Google and Yelp reviews;
- What the MOST important quality in a divorce attorney is that you should be searching for;
- What to do if you hired the wrong attorney;
AND MUCH MORE!
Before you run out and hire that shark be sure to listen to this episode - it will save you a lot of time, money and heartache!

Are you divorcing someone who is making the process as difficult and drawn out as they possible can? Are they sending you nasty emails, falsifying the truth, putting your children in the middle, abusing you, or abusing the system? Are they “persuasive blamers,” manipulating and fooling court personnel to get them on their side? Then you need the NEW and updated version of Bill Eddy's groundbreaking book, Splitting: How to Protect Yourself When Divorcing a Narcissist or Borderline! Bill returns to Divorce & Beyond to help you understand what you are dealing with and how to best protect yourself, and your children, when caught up in the emotional storm of divorce with a high conflict personality.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Therapists, Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg, authors of "Home Will Never Be the Same Again: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce," about the effects of parental divorce on adult children, and how the negative repurcussions can be minimized.
It is no secret that gray divorce is on the rise world-wide. In fact, divorce among those who have been married for 30 years or more or who are divorcing later in life, is one of the largest segments of those who are divorcing today. Much has been written about the unique difficulties faced by those who divorce close to or during retirement and after long-term marriages, but there is a forgotten segment of people who are deeply impacted by the divorce - the adult children whose parents are going through a gray divorce.
Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg, both family therapists, collaborative professionals and mediators, have done a deep dive into this topic with years of personal experience with patients and families as well as a great deal of research which they have distilled into a ground-breaking new book, "Home Will Never Be the Same Again: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce." It is easy to believe that children who are adults, perhaps with families of their own, will have little to no impact when their parents divorce but the reverse is actually true. Carol and Bruce provide guidance for parents, children and even therapists in their book and this episode provides insights and tips into this growing paradigm!
To enter to win one of 5 FREE Audible copies of the book, please send an email to Carol Hughes at drcarolhughes@me.com and mention "Divorce & Beyond!"

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with leading family law attorney and author, Ashley Nicole Russell about how her experience of as a child of a toxic divorce turned her into a tireless crusader to help families restructure through the process with dignity, privacy and self-determination without ever having to go to court.
Ashley Nicole Russell says she had a fairly normal childhood, at least that is, until her parents' vicious divorce and never-ending cycle of conflict "cut the roots out from under her." Today, Ashley Nicole no longer has a relationship with her parents, at least not right now, but her experience has made her a leader in the world of family law. Collaborative divorce is yet another method for couples to utilize when going through a divorce. The collaborative process is predicated upon compiling a curated integrative team to support the family and to help forge a new path forward for all. A principal concept of a collaborative divorce, is that no one need go to court at all and that all issues be resolved cooperatively.
Hear more from Ashley Nicole Russell in this episode and find out from one of the leading collaborative attorneys in the country why you and your family should not HESITATE to COLLABORATE!

In this very special episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with the leading high conflict divorce expert in the world, Attorney, Mediator and Therapist, Bill Eddy, who shares tips and insights from his new book, Mediating High Conflict Disputes, which flips the long held belief that you have to litigate these cases on it's head!
For years it has been the industry belief that divorces involving one or more high conflict people cannot be mediated and that litigation is the only way forward. In fact, Bill Eddy, the world's leading expert on high conflict divorce, thought this was true himself but after 40 years as a therapist, attorney and mediator he now knows better. Bill has determined that high conflict divorces CAN be mediated moreover, they SHOULD be mediated rather than litigated.
In his latest book, Mediating High Conflict Disputes, Bill sets out his revolutionary methods for mediating with high conflict parties in a book that will help both mediation professionals as well as those facing the divorce process. Bill's effective method for mediating high conflict disputes involves flipping some long-standing mediation norms upside down but his methods work and are a lifeline for those who want to end the ongoing conflict cycle of a high conflict litigated divorce.
This episode will change the way you approach high conflict divorce forever! Be sure to listen today!

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Storey Jones, Founder of dtour.life, an innovative and easy to use platform that helps you tame the chaos and overwhelm of the life detour called divorce!
Storey Jones went through her own 7-year divorce ordeal several years ago and she came out of it with one certainty and that was that "no one should have to go through what she went through in her divorce!" Storey has spent the years in between examining the obstacles that she faced and focused on creating a technology solution to address each one and so, dtour.life was born. In this episode, Storey walks us through those divorce obstacles and how you can tackle them!

More information about this week's Special Guest, Storey Jones:
Been there. Done that. Survived and thrived. In 1998 Storey Jones married a technology entrepreneur. By 2001 his company had executed a successful IPO and then an accounting scandal brought everything crashing down leaving her in a highly complex seven-year legal quagmire that included every unimaginable financial and emotional challenge including a protracted high-conflict divorce and custody battle. Though she lost everything including her home, possessions, savings & retirement, she gained a purpose. She recognized the glaring chasm between the human experience of divorce and the legal system; she developed a new business model as a divorce consultant to assist men and women in becoming far more informed, prepared and supported as they navigate their own unique processes. She also worked closely with divorce legal teams to help their clients be better prepared participants in their own divorce.
After well over a decade as a divorce consultant in the San Francisco Bay area, Storey has now leveraged that experience to build the first holistic end-to-end platform for divorce to bring innovation and technology to an outdated system. She is determined to change the experience by providing education and smart efficiency with expansive day-to-day tools that are designed so both clients and professionals can seamlessly work on and understand the same financial and other case-related data. dtour.life is designed from the ground up to fundamentally redefine this life transition for both spouses and professionals.
Prior to founding Lemon Tree Advisors and dtour.life, Storey was president of Addis, a bay area brand strategy and design firm where for 13 years she was integral to its growth and vision. Storey has a B.A. from Colgate University.

In Part Two of this Special Two Part Episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Laura Friedman Williams, Author of the soon to be released (June 10th) book, Available: A Memoir of Sex and Dating After a Marriage Ends which will make you laugh and make you cry and most importantly, will give you hope!
Laura Friedman Williams truly thought she had the perfect marriage of 27 years. The perfect family and the perfect life and then one night, by the glow of the light from her husband's cell phone, it all came crashing down as she faced the truth that her husband was in love with someone else. Suddenly she faced a life that included a future that was unknown but also a rewriting of her own history of the marriage she thought she had versus the marriage she now faced. Laura set out to redefine her life, explore her sexuality and found herself along the way and she shares it all, and I do mean all, with us in her first novel, Available, launching June 10, 2021.
In Part One, Laura and Susan delve into some of the deeper topics of the betrayal and pain of an unepected divorce but here in Part Two we get to the "fun stuff" and Laura shares some of the lighter and sexier moments along the way. You definitely don't want to miss this so listen today!

More information about This week's Special Guest, Laura Friedman Williams:
Laura Friedman Williamsis a native New Yorker whose writing credits consist of countless PTA newsletters and program notes for talent shows and school auctions, as well as ghostwritten bar mitzvah speeches for many of her friends. Her wit and wisdom have not yet made it to a larger audience, but her years spent raising children and running events at her children’s schools have kept her writing steady and sharp. She credits her degree in English from Washington University and the ten formative years she spent in book publishing – first in Subsidiary Rights at Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing) and then at Henry Holt & Company, then as a book scout and finally as a literary agent – for giving her a deep love and respect for the written word. She credits the break-up of her marriage for finally giving her the subject matter about which she both needed and wanted to write. She lives in downtown Manhattan with her three children.

In this episode Susan Guthrie speaks with new friend, Andrea Hipps, a Certified Divorce Coach and Author, about her innovative and truly effective approach to moving through the pain of your divorce in order to find your future and to create a healthy two address home for your children.
There are few experiences in life that can involve more pain than divorce and many people have great difficulty in moving past that pain, and some never do. Andrea Hipps understands that pain. She experienced it herself years ago when she divorced and and found a way to face that pain and work with it based upon a questions a friend asked her. That question started out with "What would it be like . . ." and although Andrea's initial reaction when the friend asked her was 'Hell no!', she eventually came to see that that "what if" held the key to breaking the cycle of pain and creating a new and wonderful future.
If you can't imagine how you are going to co-parent with your ex, this episode is truly a must for you because embedded in the question you must ask yourself, is the key to creating an asset based future for your reconstructed family. A future where your children can thrive in what Andrea calls a "two address home."
In this episode you will hear:
- What the key to breaking your life open is.
- How her Husband's "Proclamation of Disconnection" led to Andrea's own inward journey.
- What an Asset Based Approach to the future looks like and how it benefits you and YOUR KIDS!
- Why mediators start your process with a discussion of what you want for your children (insider secret from Susan)
- How finding some genuine "yesses" about your ex will help you create that "two address home" and
MUCH MORE!

In this episode Susan Guthrie talks with Lili Vasileff, one of the Leading Divorce Financial Professionals in the Country and author of three books on the subject, about the reinvigorated topic of Grey Divorce, as highlighted by the recent spate of high profile billionaire divorces. The fact is, they can afford to get divorced, but for those of more modest means, Lili points out the many financial pitfalls, and strategies to avoid or minimize them, for those divorcing later in life!
The news has been full of reports about some high profile, ultra high net worth divorces in recent months, most recently that of Bill and Melinda Gates who have been married for 27 years. In fact, the later years or "grey divorce" is the most common age group getting divorced these days! According to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, divorce rates were highest (about 43%) among both sexes, aged 55 to 64. This is more than just an interesting little tidbit of information if you are in this demographic and getting divorced as the finanancial ramifications of getting divorced when you are older can have serious and long-lasting effects and mistakes made during the divorce process can be catastrophic. As Lili and Susan say, "In divorce, there are no do-overs!" The key take-aways are: get professional help if you can, educate yourself and take charge of your own financial destiny. Lili is passionate about financial literacy and this episode will help you to see why - be sure to listen!

In this episode Susan Guthrie talks with Professional Organizer and Founder of Divorce Rx, Michelle Sarao, about how the truly transformative power of getting your life organized can transform the divorce experience for both you, and more importantly, for your kids!
Michelle Sarao has years of experience as an educator and a professional organizer, but her own divorce helped her to see how the process of organizing your life, from environment to logistics, can magically take the overwhelm of divorce and turn it into peace and order for both you and your children! We understand that it is all coming at you fast and furious during divorce, and Michelle realized that it can feel just like one more thing to do when we talk about getting organized, but she breaks it down, and is available to help, so you don't have to do it all alone or at one time.
This episode is chock full of tips, pointers and ideas for getting your act together during divorce, that I promise you have not thought of, so do it for your kids, and take a listen to this episode!
More information about This week's Special Guest, Michelle Sarao and Divorce Rx:
Michelle Sarao is the founder of Divorce Rx, a unique brand of professional organizing that focuses on the needs of divorcing and divorced families. She combines her professional background as an educator and organizer with her personal background as a child of divorce and divorced mother of 3 to help families organize their homes and lives when transitioning from one home to two. Michelle passionately believes that when children are in an environment that is organized and calm this translates into a feeling of predictability and safety at a time when they need it most. Her passion for her work stems from the desire to help parents show up for themselves and their children during divorce, in a way that makes them proud.
First and foremost, Michelle believes in the importance of meeting her clients where they are, listening to their pain points and finding out what is keeping them up at night. She then works with them to create solid action plans to move them forward in a gentle and consistent way.
There are several ways that Michelle works with families to ensure that the transition is as seamless as possible. Her signature program - The Divorce Toolkit is an 8 week virtual program focusing on 4 main categories every 2 weeks - the physical space, academics, health and social lives. She can also provide the 8 week program in 2 concentrated half days for those who are in a time-sensitive situation or just prefer everything upfront.
In addition, Michelle offers a Power Hour to target one main issue and provide actionable steps to take and listeners of The Divorce & Beyond Podcast can sign up for a 1/2 price Power Hour just by mentioning the show!

In this episode Susan Guthrie chats with Rachel Graham, whose new TEDx is focused on helpingyou to unlock your lockbox of secrets so that you can live a better life!
Not all secrets are bad, but so often they can make us sick - literally! When we are hiding things from those around us or even from ourselves, we can manifest that stress as anxiety, illness, depression and more which can lead to mental health issues, addiction and broken relationships. The devestating effect of what we keep locked away, often brings more misery to our lives, and Rachel Graham knows this all too well as the Founder of Healing Springs Ranch, an in-patient addiction and recovery center. Her experiences with patients as well as the cost of secrets in her own life, led her to create her popular TEDx talk focused on helping you to unlock your lockbox of secrets.
Some highlights from the episode:
- Why secrets often result in physical illness and mental health issues;
- The intersection of shame and secrets with divorce;
- How there can be many kinds of infidelity in relationships and how they all stem from secrets;
- Rachel's own secret that she reveals in her TEDx;
- How you can release those secrets from your own lockbox; and
MUCH MORE!
The average person has 13 secrets, 5 of which they have never told to anyone so if you are ready to start letting some of your secret's go, this is the episode for you!

In this episode, Susan Guthrie visits again with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, "The Divorce Doctor," to help you deal with the passing of one year since Covid appeared in our world. This anniversary, and so many others, can be distressing in many ways, especially when we are in the throes of a difficult time like divorce.
One year ago we were just hearing about this new strain of "flu" that had been discovered and was rapidly spreading with no known cure. Words like "pandemic" and "quarantine" soon became part of the nightly news feed and our dinner table conversation. Then we went into lockdown and the world will never be the same. Dr. Elizabeth Cohen returns to the show to help us to understand the significance of anniversaries and the trauma we may feel as emotions are awakened and memories and loss can flood us. With her usual deeply personal insights, Dr. Elizabeth will help make you aware of the pain and give you actionable tips for managing your feelings.
Don't go through the anniversary alone.
Dr. Elizabeth will be joining Susan again for more episodes soon so here is your opportunity to ask her anything! Send an email to divorceandbeyondpod@gmail.com and take advantage of your opportunity to ASK "THE DIVORCE DOCTOR" ANYTHING!

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Author, Speaker and Activist, Emma Johnson, the Founder of Wealthy Single Mommy, about the highly charged topic of fully equal shared parenting and why it needs to become the norm in families.
There are few topics that raise more emotion among parents than the issue of shared parenting time or 50/50 parenting. When parents separate, they must work out a plan that involves their children being raised in two households and often they find they have very different ideas of what is best for their kids. Enter Emma Johnson, Founder of Wealthy Single Mommy and Moms for Shared Parenting, who is a leading activist in the equal parenting movement who is here to challenge the long-held societal norms that we hold so close. The belief that children are best served when they are mostly with their mother and less with their father is still deeply embedded in many parents hearts and minds as they negotiate their parenting time. Emma recently conducted a Single Mom and Income Survey which mined data from thousands of single mothers and other sources which shows that, among other key take-aways, kids do best when they are with their parents equally and the only way to close the gender pay gap is to have equally shared parenting responsiblity between the genders.
This is a fascinating discussion of so many key points that counter the societal norms of parenting, equality and gender roles. This episode is a must listen for everyone, not just parents going through divorce, and Emma Johnson is the voice of change that we all need to hear!
More information about this week's Special Guest:
Emma Johnson is a journalist, activist, and the creator of WealthySingleMommy.com, the largest single mom community in the world. A divorced mother of two who was herself raised by a single mother, Emma is the author of The Kickass Single Mom (Penguin), which was named by the New York Post as a “Smart, Must-Read.” Emma has been quoted on single motherhood and gender equality in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, The Doctors and hundreds of other outlets.
Emma launched the activist group Moms for Shared Parenting as a call for policy and cultural change to focus on the benefits for children, women, men, feminism and our society when parents share equally in raising children. She has spoken about single motherhood and gender equality at the United Nations and Google.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with podcast host, coach and author, Karen Millon, about the universal human experience of trauma, both large and small, and the need to heal so we can live our best lives.
"Trauma is one of the biggest equalizers" says Karen Millon, this week's guest on the podcast. Everyone, no matter how blessed they are, suffers from traumas in life. There are small "t" traumas and Large "T" traumas, but they all add up and they all require healing in order for us to lead happy and healthy lives. It probably comes as no surprise that divorce qualifies as a Large "T" trauma and couple that with the other traumas encountered in any well-lived life, it becomes imperative to find help to heal. That's where Karen steps in as an expert in the variety of healing modalities available to us. As a Healing Coach she can help you on your healing journey and where additional expert help is needed, Karen can help match you with the right modality and provider.
In this episode Karen walks you through:
- How much of our trauma starts in childhood, no matter how "perfect" that childhood was.
- The reality of trauma responses and how they manifest in our lives.
- What the first key step is in healing.
- Different healing therapies such as EMDR, somatic experiencing and more.
- Why you have to go back to a trauma to break free from it.
- How her journey to healing, and that of her first husband, helped them to have "An Amazing Divorce" which led to her new book.
It truly is never to early to start healing so tune in to this episode today and start your journey!
More Information About This Week's Special Guest:
Karen Millon is a Colombian-born and Canadian-raised entrepreneur and personal development advocate. Ms. Millon holds a degree in Business Administration from the University of Western Ontario. And while business is her professional venue, her passion is healing and wellness. Healing was the cornerstone of her Amazing Divorce, a book that she wrote and is coming out in the fall of 2020 so when Millon realized that the subject of healing in general wasn’t garnering as much national discussion as other, more niche forms of trauma and recovery, she funneled her business skills into a high-level media platform devoted to the subject of recovering from any and all forms of trauma. Her brand and her business operate as a liaison between healing and trauma experts and the uninitiated. Millon’s HEALIN podcast features weekly dialogues with professional therapists, nutritionists and other well-being professionals. Visit www.healin.net for more information on Karen Millon's Healin.

In this very special episode, Susan Guthrie visits again with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, "The Divorce Doctor," to discuss many ways that mental health issues can negatively affect our relationships and how that plays out in divorce.
For the past several months the tabloid covers at the grocery checkout have been filled with headlines predicting the imminent divorce of "Kimye" a/k/a Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West. These headlines follow on the heels of numerous stories and articles highlighting the many ups and downs of relationship that has seemed to be challenged in the face of Kanye West's struggles with bi-polar disorder. His many highs and lows have played out in the public eye and have highlighted the often swept under rug challenges couples face when one, or both, are dealing with mental health issues. Our favorite psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Cohen returns with a compassionate but pragmatic discussion of the difficulties that people face when they or a loved one are challenged by mental health issues.
In this episode Dr. Elizabeth shares:
- How additional stressors, such as divorce or relationship issues, can impact mental health.
- Why treatment is not a sign of weakness.
- What she means by "we need to honor hope."
- Why falling in love makes us so vulnerable.
- How to deal with a partner who may be suicidal.
AND SO MUCH MORE!
Statistics say that marriages where one of the partners is struggling with mental health issues are 2x more likely to end in divorce and when the mental health issue is a bi-polar dianosis, the couple is 95% more likely to divorce. This is an issue that will affect you or someone you love and it's time to shine a light on these mental health challenges so listen to this episode today!
Dr. Elizabeth will be joining Susan again for more episodes soon so here is your opportunity to ask her anything! Send an email to divorceandbeyondpod@gmail.com and take advantage of your opportunity to ASK "THE DIVORCE DOCTOR" ANYTHING!

In this very special episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with the leading high conflict divorce expert in the world, Attorney, Mediator and Therapist, Bill Eddy, who shares the fundamentals of his BIFF Method for managing communication with a high conflict ex!
Whether you are divorcing a narcissist or are embroiled in any difficult relationship, a hallmark of a high conflict case is the flood of hostile calls, emails and texts that are repeatedly sent by one or both of the parties. This barrage often flows over into social media and into conversations with others. The constant cycle of conflict is crazy-making and seemingly impossible to control but that was until Bill Eddy and his BIFF method arrived! With the release of the third book in the BIFF series, "BIFF for Co-Parent Comunication," Bill Eddy helps you to regain a sense of control and peace that will benefit both your life and that of your children. The BIFF method will help you to craft responses to the hostile communications from your ex that will defuse the conflict and remove you from the cycle. Simply put, being Brief, Informative, Friendly and Firm (BIFF) is your key to freedom and there is simply no better guide out of the darkness of a high conflict relationship than Bill Eddy!
In this episode Bill shares:
- The simple logic of being brief, informative, friendly and firm and why it works.
- How YOU decide what kind of response you will receive from your ex.
- Why you need to absolutely avoid the 3 A's.
- A simple substitute for saying "I'm sorry . . ."
- Why Bill says you should get Miranda Rights before you go on social media.
AND SO MUCH MORE!
This episode is absolute GOLD for anyone experiencing difficulty in communicating with a volatile ex so listen today and start taking your life back one BIFF at a time!

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Daniel Herrold, one of the co-creators of Divored Over 40, a place to find friends and community after divorce.
Often, when the smoke clears after divorce, it becomes apparent that there is another casualty of the split: the friends have fled. There are a number of reasons why this can happen. Sometimes they are uncomfortable around a breakup, other times they don't want to take sides so they take no side at all, an in others, they do take a side and it's your exes'! So what is an adult supposed to do to make friends? Enter Daniel Herrold, who with two new friends, has started a movement! Just a few months ago they created an online blog on Instagram called @divorcedover40 that grew to include local get-togethers and now already has ambassadors in over 22 cities around the country to spread the word and help you find your tribe!
It can be so hard to start again after divorce and many people just jump into dating to fill the void but Divorced Over 40 is here to help you find something even more important: support, friendship and community. Take a listen and join the movement!

November is Military Family Appreciation Month and in this week's episode Susan Guthrie speaks with Kristina Kaiser, who shares her insights into the challenges faced by the families of our military members, as well as some of the difficulties that can arise when facing divorce within a military family.
We often remember to honor those who serve, and rightly so, but the family members, especially the spouses of our active military members also make sacrafices in the name of our country and deserve our thanks as well. In honor of Military Family Appreciation Month, Kristina Kaiser, herself the former wife for almost 30 years of a Marine officer, gives an insider view into the many ways that our military families give of themselves, often to their detriment, while a family member is in active service. Facing many moves and relocations, job limitations, unpaid volunteer work expectancies, co-parenting alone and more, the spouses and children of military personnel also can be affected by the military life. Beyond that, divorce can be extra complicated when an active or former member of the military is involved. The pensions, benefits and more that are one of the highlights of military careers are limited in some ways in being divided during the divorce process and the non-military spouse may end up receiving less than the might have if they were not dealing with military benefits. Whether you are a member of the military, a military family member or one of those who owe themour thanks, this episode is a wonderful reminder of all they sacrifice for their country and why those thanks are deserved!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This episode is meant to honor our military families and to give a glimpse of the hardships and sacrifices that they make for out country. We mention some of the issues that can arise in a military divorce but if you are divorcing and military benefits are at issue, it is strongly advised that you seek counsel from an attorney in your area who is well-versed in military benefit in divorce.
GIVING TUESDAY is DECEMBER 1, 2020: As mentioned by Kristina in the episode, the Tuesday following the release of this episode is Giving Tuesday. If you would like to donate to one of the charities mentioned here are the links:

In this episode, Empowerment Coach, Shannon McGorry returns to talk with Susan Guthrie about what you can do to pump up the volume when you are "fed up with fine."
Change can be an easy choice when things are awful but what about when they are "fine?" I mean, things are ok, there's nothing wrong really so it all just fine. So why do we sometimes feel so unsettled and restless when things are fine? Why do we feel that there should be more?

Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, a/k/a The Divorce Doctor returns to the podcast for the third in the blockbuster series of episodes focused on mental health, divorce and trauma. In this episode, Susan Guthrie and Dr. Elizabeth delve into the culture of toxic masculinity that has been pervasive over centuries in our world and explain the untold cost of these societal mores on men AND women and how we all can begin to change the paradigm.
“Man up.” “Be a man.” “Shake it off, there’s nothing to cry about.” We have all heard, and perhaps even said or thought these phrases ourselves. They seem innocuous enough but when you delve into the culture of what it means to be a man, the huge cost, in emotional and physical health to men becomes clear. That cost carries over into the lives of women as the men we love are unable to express their emotions and suffer the health challenges that stem from society’s unwillingness to allow men to be vulnerable. This episode was inspired by an email from listener, Mark Whorle (THANK YOU MARK!), who wrote in asking for guidance in finding emotional support and resources for divorce that are geared toward men, or are gender neutral. This outreach from Mark exemplifies the culture of toxic masculinity that impacts women as well as men. Toxic masculinity feeds the patriarchy – it is a vicious cycle that we all need to break.
Dr. Elizabeth and Susan explore the myriad ways that toxic masculinity pervade our lives and how it is manifested during divorce as well as how we each can start to change the conversation. Start here, listen and be a part of the change!

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with psychotherapist, Cindy Rasicot, the author of the Best-Selling memoir, Finding Venerable Mother: A Daughter's Spiritual Quest to Thailand, about her journey of physical, emotional and spiritual healing through her nuturing relationship with a Thai Buddhist nun and mentor. Cindy's years long journey involves many lessons that will resonate with those going through divorce or any tranformative change, as she navigates physcial injury and healing, loss and pain and even her own gray divorce. Cindy's path to healing with the guidance of Venerable Dammananda Bhikkhuni reminds us all that a truly open heart is the door to faith, forgiveness and love. For anyone and everyone on the human journey through life, this is an episode that will bring hope to all with a focus on:
- Change and the feeling of loss that can accompany that change;
- The propensity of the mind to dwell on loss causing us to experience that loss over and over again; and
- The realization that nothing is permanent and that happiness is sometimes in how you look at things.
Much as Elizabeth Gilbert's, Eat, Pray, Love, captured the collective conscious and the search for love that is common to all, Cindy Rasicot's, Finding Venerable Mother: A Daughter's Spiritual Quest to Thailand, touches on what is human in us all. Listen to the episode, read the book and find connection and hope.
More About This Week's Special Guest: Cindy Rasicot is a writer and retired psychotherapist. Author of Finding Venerable Mother: A Daughter’s Spiritual Quest to Thailand, her book is a #1 best seller in spirituality on Amazon and an International Book Awards finalist.
Cindy’s life has been a spiritual journey that took on new dimensions when she and her family moved to Bangkok, Thailand for three years. There, she met her spiritual teacher, Venerable Dhammananda Bhikkhuni, an encounter that opened her heart and changed her forever. This deepening relationship led to writing her debut memoir which chronicles her adventures along the spiritual path. She is currently writing her second book about her spiritual teacher.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie is joined by Leading Divorce Attorney and Best-Selling Author (and Susan's Work BFF!), Gabrielle Hartley, to talk about the BEST THING to happen to Divorce in ages: Online Divorce Mediation.
With the advent of Covid, many court systems around the country (and the world) are effectively closed or operating only on an emergency basis, and in most cases, they don't consider your divorce an emergency! This can affect divorcing couples in many ways; if they are thinking of divorce, they often can't file and even when they do, they can't get into court. For ongoing cases, couples can't get court dates for hearings or trials so are on indefinite hold, and for those who are done but need help due to changes that have occured, as they have for so many during Covid with job loss and health issues, they also struggle to get a court date. Even as some courts open for limited business, the backlog of cases that has been building for months, will take years, if not decades, to subside. It's just one long, never-ending DIVORCE LIMBO!
So what is a couple to do? One of the best (and only) options for many is online divorce mediation and it's a great option! Both Susan and Gabrielle have been conducting mediations online with couples for years, long before Covid made the practice popular. There are many reasons, beyond social distancing and safety, that make online mediation particularly well-suited for divorce cases. This conversation between two of the top online divorce mediators in the country will enlighten you and show you how you can mediate online and move through your divorce and BEYOND!
Some MORE Highlights from the Episode:
- Find out what the mediation process looks like online.
- Hear why not having to sit in the same room with your spouse can be so helpful to the process.
- Discover why online mediation is often even faster and easier than in-person mediation.
- Learn about Gabrielle's innovative online mediation blitz, her Positive Divorce approach and how you can learn to be Better Apart with her book and program!
There are just so many benefits to mediating your divorce online, listen to this episode and get your life out of LIMBO!
For More Information on This Week's Special Guest: Gabrielle Hartley Esq., is a leading divorce attorney, online mediator and creator of The Better Apart Method. She's known for keeping 99% of her cases at the negotiation table and out of the courtroom. Her Book, Better Apart; The Radically Positive Way to Separate was given a glowing endorsement from Gwyneth Paltrow, and People Magazine. Gabrielle is a sought after divorce expert in the media and has been quoted in the New York TImes, Psychology Today, Vice, Thrive Global, and Yoga Journal to name a few. PLUS she's a regular guest on NBC talking about all things related to what Gabrielle terms, The Positive Divorce Movement.

In this episode, Parenting Expert, Christina McGhee returns to talk with Susan Guthrie about all of the things that parents need to consider in order to create a parenting plan that truly works for the children.
So often when parents sit down to figure out the parenting plan they pull out a calendar and start carving up the time with the kids as if it were another commodity like the bank accounts and debts. In fact, although the amount of time that children spend with each parent needs to be "equitable" it doesn't need to be 50/50. In fact, 50/50 rarely actually does (or should) exist. Find out what the most important considerations actually are for parents who are setting up a time-sharing plan with their children and what will make it successful for the kids.
LISTENER QUESTION: Christina starts the episode by answering the following question from listener, Kim Cuizon about how conflict between parents affects the kids: "How about when parents don't talk at all but at the same time there are no conflicts? They're not close enough as friends but are civil during drop offs. Will this kind of apathetic relationship have lasting effects on the kids?" GREAT QUESTION AND A VERY COMMON PHENOMENA! What to know the answer? Listen in!
(If you have a question for Christina, send and email to divorceandbeyondpod@gmail.com and you might hear your question answered on a future episode!)
Some MORE Highlights from the Episode:
- How important is being fair in creating a successful parenting plan for kids?
- What is the two-home concept and how can parents support it?
- Learn how important it is properly message parenting time to your kids.
- Discover why your parenting plan will likely change over time.
- Hear why you should always follow up a verbal agreement with a quick text or email.
And much more so that you can find just the right plan FOR YOUR KIDS!

For More Information on This Week's Special Guest: Christina McGhee is a speaker and divorce parenting expert who believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. While splitting up is undeniably hard, with the right kind of information and support, she thinks parents can be children's absolute best resource as life changes.
As a coach with 20+ years of experience, Christina is dedicated to providing parents with the tools and practical support they need to get it right for their kids. She is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, Parenting Apart: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids.
As a child of divorce and as a bonus mom (aka step-mom), Christina gets plenty of opportunities to practice what she preaches. Together she and her husband have four “adultish” children (2 bonus, 2 bio), an ever-growing community of rescue dogs/cats, and an obscene number of chickens.

Split is a deeply personal film made in collaboration with children aged 6-12, exploring the often frightening and always life altering separation of their parents.
Split gives us the children's perspective on divorce... no adults, no experts… just kids speaking the powerful truth of what is on their minds and in their hearts. Their wisdom, candor, and humor will give courage to other children, and encourage parents to make better choices as they move through divorce.

In this episode Susan Guthrie speaks with Wendy Dolin, the Founder of MISSD, about the potentially fatal drug reaction known as akathisia and how speaking to Wendy recently saved Susan when she had her own near miss. This is truly information that may save your life or the life of someone you love and Wendy's journey beyond the heartbreak of losing her beloved husband and how she took that journey to turn it into a mission to create akithisia awareness around the globe!
That day ten years ago started much as any other and Wendy Dolin had no idea that when her husband Stewart went off to work that day he would never return home again. The tragedy that befell her husband and family that day took Wendy on a journey through the world of drug trials, ground-breaking litigation and world-wide advocacy to found MISSD (The Medication-Induced Suicide Prevention and Education Foundation in Memory of Stewart Dolin), dedicated to creating awareness around akathisia and helping us to be educated consumers of prescription and over the counter drugs.
What is akathisia? Akathisia is a disorder induced as a side effect of medications (including, but not limited to, SSRI's and antipsychotics), which can cause a person such intense inner restlessness that the sufferer is driven to violence and/or suicide. There are many permutations of akathisia but the number one thing to take away from this episode? Anytime you start, stop or change the dosage of a medication, BE AWARE! This is when you are most vulnerable for akathisia or other negative effects of medication. MISSD is not anti-medication but is pro-information so be sure to listen and be informed today!
Some Highlights the Episode:
- Find out some of the medications can lead to akathisia - many of them are probably in your medicine cabinet right now!
- Learn what symptoms to look for that might indicate you need to get some help.
- Hear how Wendy was inspired to take her tragedy and turn it into advocacy by founding MISSD.
- Discover the poignant meaning behind the acronym for MISSD.
- Find out why members of the military may be even more at risk.
- Hear why the information in this episode is so on point for the COVID vaccine we are all waiting for and why we need to be concerned.
Wendy and her mission with MISSD are a truly inspirational story of life BEYOND tragedy so listen to this episode today!
FOR AN EXTENDED VERSION OF MY INTERVIEW WITH WENDY, GO TO THE DIVORCE & BEYOND PODCAST YOUTUBE CHANNEL WHERE WE CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION INCLUDING:
- WENDY'S GROUND-BREAKING LEGAL FIGHT WITH THE DRUG COMPANIES
- WHAT SHE LEARNED ABOUT DRUG TRIALS THAT WE ALL NEED TO KNOW, AND
- FOR THOSE REBUILDING THEIR LIVES AFTER DIVORCE, HOW WENDY FOUND HER STRENGTH TO THRIVE AFTER TRAGEDY.
More information about Wendy Dolin and MISSD: MISSD (The Medication-Induced Suicide Prevention and Education Foundation in Memory of Stewart Dolin) is a unique 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the memory of Stewart and other victims of akathisia by raising awareness and educating the public about the dangers of akathisia. MISSD aims to ensure that people suffering from akathisia's symptoms are accurately diagnosed so that needless deaths are prevented. A website, the creation of educational materials and support of conferences will help to raise awareness and knowledge of akathisia and medication-induced suicides. Again, we feel it's important to note that we are not anti-drug, and recognize that prescription drugs can be positive and life-saving for many individuals. We are for truth in disclosure, honesty in reporting and legitimate drug trials.

Michelle attended American University as a Journalism major, graduated Hofstra University’s Communications program with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, and then earned a Double Masters Degree in Education from Adelphi University.
Originally from New York, Michelle grew up fascinated by the hustle and bustle of New York City. She was aching to “make it” as something, anything, ever since 9th grade.
“I remember walking into my first day of high school, and one of my teachers announcing “Whoa, this one is powerful – we’re going to have to watch out for her,” Michelle recalls. That sentence has always stuck with her and has motivated her to always keep moving, harder and faster, toward her dreams.
Michelle moved to Miami in her late 20’s where the “second part of her life” began. She married her daughter’s father and they brought beautiful Bella into the world. Years later, Michelle remarried her now-husband Spencer, and they live in North Miami Beach where they are raising their beautiful blended family, sneaking in as many ski trips as possible, going to every concert they can, and truly enjoying this new phase of their lives.

She is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, Parenting Apart: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Beth Behrendt, a divorced mother to three boys who has successfully followed a nesting custody arrangment with her ex for six years about how the arrangement has helped to make her restructured family stronger than ever!
When parents are facing separation and/or divorce, they often assume that establishing two separate households that their children will move between is a pre-ordained conclusion. But what if that isn't the case? What if your children's lives could continue almost without change, and the parents could be the ones to make the move? That is "birdnesting" and for guest, Beth Behrendt and her family, the arrangment has been the key to their success as a new type of family following the divorce six years ago! Amazingly, Beth's three boys have never left their family home as Beth and her ex have moved in and out of the home to parent them. Along the way, Beth has discovered that there are several upsides beyond the lack of disruption to her children's lives that come from the nesting arrangment that make it even more appealing. She shares all of these upsides, and some of the downsides to be aware of, in this eye-opening episode!
More about this week's Special Guest: Beth Behrendt is a freelance writer and mom to three boys and has been nesting with her ex for almost six years. Since the couple first separated, their sons have never left the family home -- Bill and Beth take turns moving in and out to parent them. Nesting has made them a stronger, happier family than ever before.

On this episode Susan Guthrie, Esq. speaks with Coach, Podcast Host and the Author of "Soar," Pamela Savino, on a topic perfectly timed for the tough times that can occur in divorce and on a broader scope, are occuring in the world at large as COVID, societal unrest and financial difficulties create stress and strain in our lives every day. Pam's decision to move through the tough times in her divorce by stepping into her own authentic life will inspire you and help you as you face your own challenging times!
A few years back, Pam Savino and her husband decided to divorce. As she shares in her wonderful book, Soar, there was nothing "bad" happening, but the relationship was not working for either of them. The news left friends and family shocked as they were that picture postcard perfect family who "had it all" but they knew that it was the right choice for them. That is not to say that the divorce was not full of tough times, there were plenty, and Pam shares several stories that may sound very familiar to you such as telling the kids, dealing with the 'til death do us part issue and keeping the divorce a secret from everyone until the time was right. Pam's lessons on leaving behind the life that society and other people tell you is right, and stepping into your own authentic self, perhaps for the very first time, is the true path through the hard times ahead to a a happier and more fulfilled life!
Some highlights from this episode:
- Find out how Pam, and not her attorney, "drove the bus" in the divorce process and how Pam found the strength to make those "big decisions." (7:35)
- What does "living authentially" mean for Pam and why does she think it is the key to getting through those tough moments in divorce and in life? (9:17)
- Where does the shift from inauthentic to authentic living happen? (11:50)
- Why does Pam say that in the challenging moments that is when we find our greatness? (15:45)
- Why were the first 15 seconds of telling the kids about the divorce the most important? (20:20)
- What is a "soul contract" and how did it help Pam to explain the divorce to her daughter? (27:00)
- The questions to ask yourself to "reframe" your tough moments: (35:40)
What am I meant to learn from this?
How can I allow this experience to become a better person?
Instead of choosing hate or anger, how can I choose compassion?
There are just so many moments in our life where change, difficulty and adversity make us stronger and help us to define what is truly authentic for our own lives so take a listen today and let Pam help you to find your way to your AUTHENTIC LIFE!
More About This Week's Guest: Pamela Savino is pursuing her spiritual calling with an unparalleled fervor. She relentlessly helps others find their voice, speak their truth, and live authentically via several modalities. She is the founder of Live Authentically, a life-coaching business, author of SOAR, and she recently started a podcast called the Live Authentically show, whose guests include other people who are also committed to playing a role in raising collective consciousness and helping people discover the essence of who they are. She is also an advocate for plant-based eating and partners with others to spread the plant-based message internationally.
Her wish for everyone in this world is that we all live deeply fulfilling and authentic lives. Achieving this goal often requires radical change, and she is vowing to embody, embrace and model this change to inspire others to find their own voice and leave this world a better place than we found it.

What if we told you that you could reunify with your alienated child in just FOUR DAYS?! Sounds too good to be true doesn't it? The good news is that in this episode, Susan Guthrie, Esq. speaks with Dorcy Pruter, the Founder of the Conscious Co-Parenting Institute, who has a 100% success rate in recovering children in their 4-day workshop!
Parental alienation is one of the most heartbreaking and intractible issues that can arise in a family and historically, courts, attorneys and therapists have struggled to change the paradigm. Even when an alienated parent files all the motions and gets all the forensic reports, everything takes so long that it often seems pointless.

"Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another question." - Carrie Fisher
Whether it is negotiating with the plumber who is going to fix your toilet, your twelve year old over cleaning her room or with your boss for a raise, we negotiate matters big and small every day. The difference is, when we sit down at the table to negotiate our divorce settlement with our soon to be ex-spouse, the emotions are high and the decisions can be some that will impact our lives and our family for years to come. We worry that we aren't up to the task but that is where Professor Andrea Schneider can help. She literally wrote THE book that teaches lawyers how to negotiate. Negotiation Essentials for Lawyers! In fact, Professor Schneider gives negotiation trainings around the world to law school students, corporations, law firms, court systems, and even other faculty and she is here to help you get ready for your divorce negotiation. Host Susan Guthrie and Professor Schneider review all the steps you need to take to arrive at the best settlement that you can, from pre-negotiation preparation to how to get your spouse to agree to what you want. This is essential listening not just for those who are divorcing, but really everyone, because these skills are necessary every day and in every way!
Some Highlights from this episode:
- Find out why you may already have more negotiation skills than you think you do.
- What happens in a negotiation that gives you a signal that you need to pay attention because this is important?
- Why are the steps you take BEFORE the negotiation some of the most important and what are they?
- How do your goals, interests and limits play into your negotiation strategy?
- What does BOBO stand for and why do you need to know?
- How is a bicycle like the negotiation process?
And so much more that will help you to negotiate a divorce agreement that works for you!

Motherhood. The word alone is emotionally charged and the role of a mother has been prescribed and defined for centuries as the primary caregiver and nurturer, but over the years, society has layers so many more labels and strictures on the role. What makes a good mother? Why must there be a definition and why is there such stigma if a mother does not fit the societal norm?
Our guest this week, Susan Eckstein, is a non-conforming mother who bravely shares her story of breaking the mold and redefining motherhood in a way that worked best for her family and that allowed her to show up as her best self for her children. Along the way, she faced shame, both internal and external, and pain as others, particularly women, dismissed and condemned her decisions. Susan has come forward to tell the tale of her journey in order to help other mothers, who face difficult decisions about parenting their children in the way that allows both mother and child to thrive. This is a story that needs to be told and we all need to listen.
Highlights from this episode:
- What factors led to Susan's decision that her boys should live with their Dad?
- How did the phrase "keep the keys" help the family to restructure in a healthy way?
- Who were the worst critics of Susan's decision to be a non-custodial mother?
- How did a business coach help Susan to find her way out of her struggle with shame?
- How can you throw out society's scorecard for motherhood to show up as your best self for your kids?
This is the story no one will talk about but Susan bravely shares her journey so that we can all be better parents and live happier lives. Listen.
More about this week's guest: Susan Eckstein is an empowerment coach and speaker helping divorced moms lead with their values so they can define motherhood for themselves. Susan leads her clients through a life-changing empowerment process where they challenge their stories, change their beliefs, step into their badassery and show up more powerfully for their children. After becoming a non-custodial mother following her divorce, Susan felt ashamed for years. However, once she stopped measuring her worth against what society says is a gold-star mother, she empowered herself and created her own unique relationship with her two boys. Susan now helps other divorced moms release their shame, reconnect to their power and define motherhood for themselves. A former mindset coach, personal trainer and triathlon coach, Susan has coached hundreds of men and women to successfully compete in their dream athletic events, including triathlons, marathons and adventure races. She is also a three-time Ironman Louisville finisher.

The wedding vows say "'til death do us part" but divorce changes everything and that means everything has to change - including your estate planning! In this week's episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Attorney Rebecca Wallenfelsz, leading Trusts & Estates Attorney, about all of the issues and factors that are affected when the marital relationship ends.
Estate planning includes your Last Will & Testament and those decisions about who gets all your stuff after you die, but there is so much more involved in pulling together a proper plan and not all of it is just about what happens when you die.

This is a must listen episode for everyone who is contemplating divorce, is going through divorce or who has recently finalized their divorce. LISTEN TODAY!
Highlights from this Episode:
- What are the things to think about in Estate Planning when you are starting a divorce?

We often look for peace and happiness from external sources but that path leads to disappointment. In fact, that is often a path to further hurt and trauma. On this episode of The Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie speaks with Kundalini Yoga Expert, Dya Kaur about the inward path to healing and your new future through yoga, meditation and yes, even a little bit of sex.
Trauma informs our lives in so many ways and can stay in our soul for years after the incident or experience that hurt us. Divorce is often one of the most traumatic experiences that we can undergo and so many individuals have enormous difficulty in moving past that hurt. Leading Kundalini Yoga expert, Dya Kaur of Wanderlust Yoga in Los Angeles, joins Susan on this episode, which was taped in person in California, to share her wisdom and insights from years of teaching the technology of kundalini yoga, meditation, and spiritual life coaching to help people to move past their trauma to heal, live fully and embrace a new future.
Some Highlights from this Episode:
- Learn how the technology of kundalini yoga and meditation give us access to our true nature. What is kundalini yoga? How is it different from other yoga forms?
- How does being more neutral empower us in a painful situation?
- How does elevating our own consciousness help elevate our circumstances?
- Why is the experience of a kundalini class more impactful than a more intellectual self help approach?
- Why is giving yourself authority so important to self transformation?
Living life dragged down by the emotional storms of your past will only rob you of your future. It's time to deal with, and heal from, that old trauma and move forward into your healthy, happy and beautiful new life. Listen to this episode now!
Note: This show was taped at the beginning of the year. The advent of COVID delayed it's release so I am excited to announce that Dya's podcast, Sexual Alchemy with Dya Kaur, is now available! We apologize that the dates referenced in the episode have now passed.
Libby ( Dya Kaur) Hudson Lydecker was given her spiritual name by the master of kundalini yoga, Yogi Bhajan in 1998 meaning “Princess of wisdom, compassion and strength.” Dya Kaur has been teaching kundalini yoga to adults and children for over 13 years. Her passion is empowering people to live their happiest and most enlightened lives through the technology of kundalini yoga and meditation. She is a Spiritual Life coach and runs transformational yoga retreats in inspiring locations.

The movie "Marriage Story" garnered a great deal buzz and won a number of awards but is it accurate? Is that what divorce really looks like? On this episode Susan Guthrie speaks with Law Professor, Carolyn Kaas, to reveal not only what the movie got right, but more importantly, what it got OH SO WRONG! If you are worried this is your future, be sure to listen today!
The award winning movie, "Marriage Story" created quite a stir in the world of divorce and captured multiple award nominations for not only the film, but also the actors. In fact, Laura Dern won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for her portrayal of a divorce attorney reportedly patterned on celebrity divorce attorney, Laura Wasser. But just how accurate is the depiction of divorce in the movie? On this week's episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Professor Carolyn Kaas, who will be incorporating the movie into her curriculum for the future lawyers of America as a teaching tool of what to do, and more importantly, of WHAT NOT TO DO. Susan and Professor Kaas bring you the insider view of where the movie hits the nail on the head, and where it veers far off the factual path. If you are facing divorce and are worried that the movie is a crystal ball of your future, find out what you can do to be sure that your divorce unfolds differently and learn from the teachable moments that Professor Kaas will be using to help launch the future of the legal profession!
Highlights from the Episode:
- What about this movie does Professor Kaas feel makes it the "perfect teaching tool?"
- How does putting on the "glasses of trial prep" right from the beginning hijack your divorce process?
- How does their approach to the process change as many divorce attorneys practice longer and longer in the field?
- Is the "2nd Happy Halloween" ending of the movie a realistic portrayal?
- Is there a different function for a lawyer than to be a "weapon or a shield?"
- What is the worst part about the mediation "fail" in the movie?
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE! Be sure to listen - you'll want to watch the movie again with new eyes once you have listened to this episode!

On this week's episode, which is Part Two of a Special Two-Part Episode, Susan Guthrie, nationally recognized family law attorney and mediator, continues her conversation with Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond, the authors of "Our Happy Divorce: How Ending Our Marriage Brought Us Together" which shares their journey through marriage, divorce and finding a different kind of love.
"Our Happy Divorce" - Now that you have listened to Part One of this interview (If you haven't heard it yet, click here) , I know that you too must be a huge fan of Nikki and Ben's story and there is so much more to hear! In Part One, we heard their unusual path to create their own definition of divorce and how they measured every decision that they made by the phrase "What's best for Asher?" Now, in Part Two, Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond share the details of their journey after the divorce was final and they both moved into new relationships and a new relationship with each other. As Ben says in the episode, "if Nikki and I can do it, then anyone can do it!" Find out how they made it all work and hear how things are now, 13 years down the road. You will be inspired - Listen now!
Highlights from this episode:
Nikki and Ben hit a major roadblock soon after the divorce was final - find out what that was and how they handled it.
How have Ben and Nikki continued to measure everything by "What's best for Asher as they moved into their new lives?"
How did Nikki and Nadia meet for the first time, and what role did Asher play in the introduction?
What did Chad do that won Ben over?
Why is the last chapter of the book so significant?
Ben and Nikki forged their own path through divorce and created a new and lasting love, relationship and family. Listen to this episode to find out how you can do the same!
More about Nikki and Ben: From weeknight dinners and homework sessions with their son to Christmas card photos and vacations, Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond have created a tight-knit, enviable family. They work and play well together, from the smallest daily tasks to the biggest life events—and it only took a divorce to get them there. Though their marriage has been over for nearly a decade, they still share a happy life with each other and their son Asher, along with their new amazing spouses and children.
Nikki knows how being supported by a strong, loving family can influence the way a person navigates life, love, marriage, and motherhood. Having grown up as a member of the iconic San Francisco 49ers football family, she was thrown into the limelight at a young age. The values her family instilled in her have helped shape who she is today, and she continues to live by them.
Ben intimately understands the detriment divorce can cause in the lives of children. The example of his parents’ divorce instilled in him a deep commitment to do better by his own kids. Ben is an investor, board member, philanthropist, golfer, and sports enthusiast. But above all, he is a dedicated father and family man who understands the importance of putting his ego aside and his children first.

On this week's episode, which is Part One of a Special Two-Part Episode, Susan Guthrie, nationally recognized family law attorney and mediator, speaks with Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond, the authors of "Our Happy Divorce: How Ending Our Marriage Brought Us Together" which shares their journey through marriage, divorce and finding a different kind of love.
"Our Happy Divorce", I love this book, I truly do, and not just because it has a happy ending. I love it because it tells a truthful tale of one couples' journey through the pain of divorce, which started out as many do, with anger, hurt and a "shark attorney", but but then reveals how they pulled back and found a different path that allowed for forgiveness, hope and a new kind of love. Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond share the details of how they created a new life, a new definition of family and came to love each other again, just in a different way. Make no mistake, this was not an easy path, but they share the actual steps that helped them to get there. This is so important, that it just had to be a special two-part episode so that we could cover it all. Find out why I say that this book should be required reading for all couples contemplating divorce and LISTEN TODAY!
Highlights from this episode:
Find out what role the "shark attorney" played in the Happy Divorce.
How did Ben and Nikki clean up their side of the street so that they could move forward?
What impact did Ben and Nikki's very different childhoods have on their Happy Divorce?
Why does Ben say that "nothing good comes from living in the past?
What was the one overriding principal that Nikki and Ben measured every decision by and still do?
Ben and Nikki found a way to avoid the worst of divorce and successfully restructure their family. Listen to this episode to find out how you can do the same!

In this episode of the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie, nationally recognized as one of the top family law attorneys and mediators in the country, speaks with Kate Anthony of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast and Creator of the Should I Stay or Should I Go Program on just how you know if your relationship has run it's course or if if can be fixed.
Truly one of the most difficult questions that we might have to answer in our lives is should we stay in our marriage that doesn't seem to be working, or should we go and find happiness elsewhere? In fact, many people will linger in the limbo of this unanswered question for months and even years, without being able to move forward to either repair the relationship or find the strength to end it. Kate Anthony is the leading expert on helping you to answer the question of whether to stay or go and she helps people all over the world with her innovative online program and her one-on-one coaching. In this special episode, taped in person in California, Kate shares:
- What you need to consider if your relationship is in limbo and you are living "like roommates."
- What the most common weak spots are in a marriage and what you can do to fix them (hint: communication is key!)
- How failing to address the issues that lie between you and your spouse can lead to the worst divorce possible.
- What to do if your spouse is asking you to go to therapy and what to do if you are asking but they won't go!
- Why trying everything you can to work on the relationship is so important even if those efforts fail. (Kate says that all the work she and her husband did to try and fix their marriage didn't work but did lead to them having a great divorce!)
- How to have the conversation with your spouse if you do decide "it's time to go."
- AND MORE!
MORE ABOUT TODAY'S GUEST: Kate Anthony is the host of the critically acclaimed podcast The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast and the creator of the groundbreaking online coaching program, Should I Stay or Should I Go? which helps women make the most difficult decision of their lives using coaching tools, relationship education, geeky neuroscience, community support, and deep self-work.
Kate empowers women to find their strength, passion, and confidence even in the most disempowering of circumstances and helps them move forward with concrete plans set on a solid foundation, putting their children at the center (not in the middle) of all their decisions.
In addition to her online programs, Kate works privately with clients all over the world.
Kate lives in Los Angeles with her teenage son (whom she lovingly co-parents with her ex-husband), their two dogs, and a handful of fish.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie, top family law attorney and mediator, and the former host of Breaking Free: A Modern Divorce Podcast chats with Jan Yuhas and Jillian Yuhas, the dynamic duo known as "the Love Twins" and creators of the Entwined Lifestyle brand about the need for firm and clear boundaries when divorcing.
When people are facing divorce the first things they think about are dividing their money and assets as well as defining their time with their kids but there is much, much more to the equation when you are facing disentangling from each other's lives. To do so successfully, it is very important that the couple clearly communicate and that they agree to and follow certain firm boundaries between their new, SEPARATE LIVES! Jan and Jillian Yuhas, the founders of the lifestyle coaching team at Entwined Lifestyle, join Susan Guthrie today to discuss some of the many collateral issues that need to be discussed and hopefully given some boundaries so that life doesn't get messy as you try to move forward. This can be especially complicated when you have kids together and have to co-parent after the divorce is final. Jillian and Jan, both with the Masters degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy, specialize in helping people to identify those issues, have those hard conversations and set those necessary boundaries (no surprise that Jan and Jillian are divorce mediators too!) Who gets to keep the friends, the family members, the nanny and the gym? Good questions and ones that needs to be answered for healthy boundaries!
Here are some highlights from the episode:
4:30 Can you still have the same friends and what if the friends choose your ex?
9:00 The impact of divorce on family relationships - is blood really thicker than water?
12:30 How do you handle grandparents and visitation?
17:15 What about all the places where your kids hang out - can you share them?
22:00 Why boundaries are so key to a successful separation.
23:15 Oh no, not the nanny/au pair/babysitter!
31:45 What are Jan and Jillian's "3 Cs" and how do they help you set necessary boundaries?
