Listen in to learn what it takes to tackle decisions that can feel overwhelming, how to create a solid co-parenting plan, and what you can do to manage stress along the way.

    Ep. 147: Traditional vs. Collaborative Divorce
    Feb 10 2025
    Divorce is often seen as a turbulent chapter in life, overshadowed by feelings of fear, separation, and scarcity. But what if we could rethink this transition as an opportunity for positive growth? Just as marriage begins with love, unity, and prosperity, divorce can also be guided by these powerful energies.

    In this episode, I’ll share key points of a presentation I attended, where a Florida circuit court judge discussed his role and some of the limitations that he faces as he presides over a docket of cases within the family court. Listen in to learn how to bring positive energy into divorce, as well as how collaborative divorce can remove the adversarial approach of the traditional legal battle.

    Ep. 146: Why Win-Lose Negotiation Fails in Divorce with Derrick Chevalier, EVP of Harrison-Chevalier, Inc.

    Many people cling to their legal entitlements during divorce, seeing them as non-negotiable rights. However, as negotiation expert Derrick Chevalier reveals in today’s episode, this mindset can leave both parties worse off.

    Listen in as he shares tips for keeping your emotions in check during divorce proceedings, the value of viewing divorce from the child’s perspective, and more. You’ll also learn how a stay-at-home parent’s contributions—when calculated at retail value—can sometimes exceed the breadwinner’s salary, challenging traditional views of financial contributions in marriage and divorce settlements.

    Jan 20 2025
    Divorce can be one of life’s most painful transitions. While it's common for people to want to avoid this pain, the truth is that pain itself can be the element that opens a new level of freedom, self-discovery, and prosperity.

    In this episode, I explain why resisting your pain only hardens your heart and drains valuable resources, such as time, energy, health, and money. Instead, I'll show you how welcoming and flowing with the pain can help cleanse you of old, limiting beliefs and guide you toward genuine growth.
