11 Apr 2022Overcoming Denial and Loss of Identity with the Nazi’s Granddaughter, Silvia Foti on Divorce & Beyond #23000:37:38

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.

14 Feb 2022Set Yourself Up For Successful Conversations, Even During Divorce with Communications Expert, Liz Becker on Divorce & Beyond #22200:42:30

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!

More About Liz Becker:

Liz Becker is the President and Co-founder of the National Association of Divorce Professionals and Creator of the CDS™ Program. Liz is also a Licensed NLP Master Practitioner, Communications Skills Coach & Trainer, and has more than a decade experience in working with both divorcing clients and the professionals who serve them. Having worked in the divorce industry for many years, she has a keen sense in detecting specific issues that create obstacles for all parties involved in the process. Whether she was conducting NLP certification trainings, co-parenting workshops, or speaking at conferences, Liz has always found great reward in educating people how to communicate more effectively and achieve positive change in their lives, both personally and professionally.

05 Jul 2021Do Not Hesitate to Collaborate! Getting Divorced Without Setting Foot in Court with Ashley Nicole Russell on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #18700:48:10

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!

19 Jan 2023Navigating Divorce with Parents of Children with Disabilities with Josh Kershenbaum, Part 2 on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #28200:36:51

Susan Guthrie, Esq. and special guest Josh Kershenbaum, Esq. return for part two of a special two-part episode series on navigating divorce with parents of children with disabilities. 

Josh Kershenbaum is one of the nation's top experts in the area of mediation and negotiation for families with children with special needs.  In part one of this two-part series, Susan and Josh discussed the issues families face when they're going through divorce or separation, and have children with disabilities.  In this episode, they’ll explore solutions to these issues and work to empower parents as they go through the divorce process. 

Josh Kershenbaum, Esq., is a dedicated Peacemaker.  He earned certifications in Negotiation and Mediation at the Harvard Program on Negotiation and trained in Divorce & Family Mediation at the Mosten Guthrie Academy with Forrest (“Woody”) Mosten and Susan Guthrie. 

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

  • Why it is imperative to choose the right divorce process that keeps you and your co-parent in the driver’s seat as much as possible. If you’re in an adversarial divorce process, it’s never too late to re-take control. 
  • “A child-centered divorce is crucial. It is the biggest gift you can give yourself and your child.”
  • The importance of thinking of your divorce as a team process and why you should bring people on your team who have experience working with families who have kids with disabilities
  • Organize your child’s documents: IEPs, medical records, records of care, and more.

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.

06 Mar 2023Changing Outcomes for Alienated and Estranged Parents with Coach and Filmmaker, Ginger Gentile on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #29000:45:51

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.

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.

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.  LISTENERS OF DIVORCE & BEYOND GET $100 OFF THE PROGRAM FEE WITH CODE "SUSAN" - Access here: https://divorceandchildren.com/purpose

10 May 2021How Getting Organized Can Help You AND Your Kids Deal With Divorce with the Founder of Divorce Rx, Michelle Sarao on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #17700:43:48

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!

08 Aug 2022How Do You Stop Being So Angry About Your Divorce with the Founder of Divorced Girl Smiling, Jackie Pilossoph on Divorce & Beyond #25000:49:29

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!

19 Oct 2020It Starts with the Heart: A Spiritual Journey and Guide to Healing with Best-Selling Author, Cindy Rasicot on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #14500:41:13

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.

15 Jul 2024The Perils of Playing House with Leading Attorney, Susan Myres on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #35300:45:59

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.”

Divorce is hard.  No one will argue with you about that but an unfortunate phenomena for many is that even when the divorce is finalized it can be hard to move on and forge a new path into the future.  In fact, so many individuals suffer from being "stuck" in their divorce, almost like an addiction, that Wendy Sterling has created her specialized "Divorce Rehab" program to help you heal and move on.  Like any rehab, tough love is needed and a gentle (or not so gentle) kick in the a$$ may be called for.  Wendy has become the country's leading Divorce Recovery Specialist by delivering that needed push along with critical support and she shares her top tips to get started with your recovery in this episode!  Take a listen now and start moving into your healthy new future today!

Wendy Sterling is a Divorce Recovery Specialist, a certified life coach, writer, author and speaker who founded The Divorce Rehab™ Program. Wendy helps divorced women recover from their divorce by helping them to remember who they are and what they are capable of by ending their pity party, mourning their marriage and MOVING FORWARD with dignity to see how much better life is afterwards.  She believes divorce can be an empowering experience that women go through to find their true identity and voice to create the life they want instead of the life they feel stuck with.  Wendy is a graduate from UCLA and a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) from The Co-Active Training Institute.  She is also an Associate Certified Coach (SCC) through International Coach Federation. Wendy is a divorced, single mom who transformed her own life from Corporate America employee to entrepreneur and currently lives in Sherman Oaks, CA with her two boys and dog.

05 Dec 2022Conscious Coupling: Are Pre-Nups the Secret to a Happy Marriage? with Leading Attorney, Monica Mazzei on Divorce & Beyond #27500:46:28

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.”

About this week's special guest: Monica Mazzei

Monica drafts and negotiates cohabitation agreements, and pre-marital and post-marital agreements for her clients.

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.

20 Apr 2020The Unicorn Divorce: How Ending Their Marriage Brought Them Together with the Authors of "Our Happy Divorce", Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast PART TWO #11900:35:45

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.

Thriving in divorce and beyond means not having to worry about the safety of your children when it comes to co-parenting.

Soberlink’s alcohol monitoring system is the most convenient, reliable, and reasonable way for a parent to provide evidence that they are not drinking during parenting time.

Soberlink’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent. With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and both parents have empowerment and peace of mind.

10 Nov 2022Special Bonus Episode EMPOWERED: How a New Family Court Law is (and isn’t) Helping Some Victims of IPV with Amy Polacko on Divorce and Beyond #27000:33:22

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.

All divorce professionals know that one of the biggest pain points for their clients is pulling together and keeping organized all of the often complicated information is needed in order to identify the issues and make good decisions about their divorce.  Alex Beattie knows this intimately having gone through her own complicated split.  Rather than let herself get overwhelmed, Alex used her skills as an entertainment producer to bring organization, process and method to her divorce approach and she WOWED her divorce team!  Alex quickly realized that sharing her experience and insights could make the process easier and better for so many others.  Alex and her friend, Jenny Pithie, also banded together to create the Divide & Thrive Divorce Planner to help you take organization to the next level!

  • When should someone start getting organized for a divorce? 
  • What are the benefits of preparing for a divorce early in the process?
  • What are the most common mistakes people make when preparing for a divorce?
  • What should people be focused on when preparing for a divorce?

Alex was recently featured in the New York Times article: Divorce is Hard: Here's How You Can Help Someone Going Through One

More About Alex Beattie and the Divide & Thrive Divorce Planner:

After navigating her own split, Alex Beattie co-created the Divide & Thrive Divorce Organizer to give the consumer a low-cost way to take control of the divorce process and guide them during a time of uncertainty.

26 Sep 2022Set Yourself Free with Forgiveness with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, “The Divorce Doctor” on Divorce & Beyond #26100:43:36

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!

05 Sep 2022The Incredible Tale of One Mom’s Successful 10-Year Battle to Be Free of a Narcissist with Tina Swithin on Divorce & Beyond #25700:53:03

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.

In this very special 100th episode of Divorce & Beyond, Host Susan Guthrie is joined by the CEO of The High Conflict Institute, Megan Hunter, to help tackle one of the most difficult issues in divorce: trying to co-parent with a narcissist or other high conflict person.  

Divorce is hard under the best of circumstances, but for most people, it will come to an end and their lives will smooth out and they will go forward with their lives and even co-parent peacefully for the most part, but then there are the high conflict cases.  The ones where your ex tries to turn the kids against you, drags you back to court every other week and continues to cause chaos and havoc in your life no matter how long ago the divorce was finalized.  How do you survive that High-Conflict Co-Parenting paradigm and more importantly, how do you help your kids through it all?

Megan Hunter, the CEO of The High Conflict Institute with Co-Founder, Bill Eddy, is here to help with her book: The High-Conflict Co-Parenting Survival Guide!  Megan shares invaluable advice and practical strategies on ways to manage your anger, stress, fear and worry as you continue to have to maintain a co-parenting relationship with a narcissist or other high conflict person.  Listen to this episode and you WILL have HOPE and a game-plan for the future!

As a special offer for this 100th episode, Susan is giving away a copy of Megan's book, The High Conflict Co-Parenting Survival Guide!  Want to enter?  Just send an email to divorceandbeyondpod@gmail.com with a short statement of why you listen to Divorce & Beyond and we will pick a winner in the second week of October!

27 Jun 2022What Impact Does Your ”Standard of Living” REALLY Have On Your Divorce with Top Divorce Financial Expert, Olivia Summerhill on Divorce & Beyond #24300:39:36

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!

About this week's special guest:

Olivia Summerhill is the founder of a financial consulting company called The Summerhill Firm. She helps affluent women maintain their lifestyles and thrive post-divorce by educating and empowering them financially. 

Her niche serves famous and high-profile women who need help navigating the financial complexities of divorce. Having a decade of experience in wealth management and private banking, Olivia dedicates her time to protecting women. She consults with financial advisors and works with their clients to help them avoid divorce mistakes. 

Among numerous other designations in finance, Olivia is a Certified Financial Planner, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Certified Divorce Specialist, and a Certified Money Coach. 

Olivia is often highlighted in Forbes, US News, MSN, and other media. She hosts a money coaching podcast called 'Divorce for Wealthy Women.' And currently, she is training for an Ironman to raise money for a non-profit that helps women take control of their finances.

18 Nov 2024Who Keeps the Dog and Other Pet Issues in Divorce with Karis Nafte on Divorce and Beyond #36600:42:41

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.”

01 Jun 2020Redefining Motherhood: A Brave New Perspective from a Non-Custodial Mom, Susan Eckstein on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #12500:45:36

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.

04 May 2020Everything You Need is Within You: Healing from Trauma with Kundalini Yoga Expert, Dya Kaur on the Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #12100:39:10

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. She is honored to be one of the leaders of Guru Singh’s Teacher Training which is the largest kundalini teacher training in the world. She teaches group classes at Yoga West in LOS ANGELES and Wanderlust in  Hollywood and is available for private kundalini or coaching sessions in person or remotely by appointment. “I don’t believe in miracles, I rely on them.“ Yogi Bhajan.

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!

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.

25 Jan 2021Get Ready to BIFF Your High Conflict Ex with Bill Eddy on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #16000:51:21

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:

08 Jul 2024From the Archive: Understanding Coercive Control with Dr. Christine Cocchiola on Divorce & Beyond00:42:57

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.

*** One note, as this is an archive episode, some of the links in the episode may have changed or no longer be in use.  For more information on Dr. Christine, visit her website at https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/ ***

14 Jun 2021The Solution for Tackling the Divorce Detour with Storey Jones, Creator of dtour.life on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #18400:49:01

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.

15 Mar 2021One Year of Covid: Dealing with Difficult Anniversaries with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, "The Divorce Doctor" on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #16900:41:10

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.

17 Nov 2022The Divorce and Beyond November Headlines Roundup with Susan Guthrie #27200:32:49

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.

    Read in NPR: https://apple.news/AWlFkUHOgSiSLaJNfwZbTf

  • Divorced couple fights over frozen embryo: She wants another baby. He doesn't. An egg from a woman's sister that was fertilized by her ex-husband is at the center of a post-divorce legal fight.

  • People Who "Divorced Over Money" Are Sharing The Breaking Point That Ended Their Marriage, And It’s Wild "My ex refused to work, even when I begged him to.

03 Feb 2020"Who Gets to Keep the Friends? Collateral Damage and the Need for Boundaries in Divorce with Jan & Jillian Yuhas, The Love Twins" on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #10800:37:18

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?

Jan and Jillian's Special Offers: 

 For 20% off the cost of the Boundary Badass Program or 20% off the 1st month of 1:1 Coaching, use the code "LIFESTYLE20".  This offer will be valid for 30 days from the date this episode first airs (February 3, 2020).

 

Jan Yuhas and Jillian Yuhas, MA, MFT, CPC, are International Relationship & Lifestyle Coaches, founders of Entwined Lifestyle, and Creators of the Powerless to Boundary Badass program. Their ability to overcome their own relationship struggles in the past inspired them to coach others to relationship success. Known as The Love Twins, they have made it their mission to guide men & women in finding their inner voice, owning their worth, setting healthy boundaries to feel invincible in their relationships, personally and professionally. Their writings have been featured on websites including Thrive Global, Take The Lead, Yahoo Lifestyle, Bustle, The Dating Truth, YourTango, Everyday Power, Thought Catalog, Go Dates, Medium and The Minds Journal. They have appeared on The JamTV, Dana Being Dana TV, AWheelhouse Radio, Macy's Estee Lauder Dating Panel.

07 Jul 2023Busting Divorce Myths Mini-Episode #5: In Divorce There’s Always a Bad Guy on Divorce & Beyond00:16:09

This week on Divorce and Beyond, as we celebrate America's Independence, Susan has created a week-long series of mini-episodes where she will be busting the Top 5 Divorce Myths for you so that you can celebrate your freedom from their misleading and harmful assumptions!

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!

02 Nov 2020TOXIC MASCULINITY: The Untold Cost to Men AND Women with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen (a/k/a The Divorce Doctor) on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #14700:41:11

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!

11 Oct 2020Parenting Plans Aren't for Parents: How to Create a Plan that Works For Your Kids with Top Parenting Expert, Christina McGhee on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #14300:47:37

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!

***SPECIAL SERIES OF EPISODES on DIVORCE AND PARENTING!  Susan is thrilled to have Christina McGhee returning monthly to touch on several of the hot topics in parenting and divorce!  We will be discussing how to co-parent with a high conflict ex, how to handle the holidays and MUCH MORE so stay tuned.  CHRISTINA WILL ALSO ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS SENT IN BY LISTENERS SO SEND AN EMAIL TO divorceandbeyodpod@gmail.com  or by DM to @divorceandbeyond on Instagram with your question and hear the answer on a future episode!***

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. You can find out more about her at divorceandchildren.com

In this episode Susan Guthrie speaks with podcast host and author, Jessica Frew about living boldy as we go into a new year and a new future. 

The journey through divorce or any significant life transition can be overwhelming and exhausting.  Jessica Frew, one of the hosts (with her husband and ex-husband) of the hit podcast, "Husband-in-Law" knows this from personal experience.  She went through a difficult divorce when her husband needed to separate so that he could live his truth as a gay man.  They have managed to continue to be close (hence the podcast) and to co-parent their daughter with love while still both moving forward with their lives.  After the divorce however, it can be hard to find your way.  The future is such an unknown that is seems scary and dark but Jessica advocates living BOLDLY into that future and has created her BOLDology program to help you launch!

In this episode you will learn:

  • What "the pause" is and what it can do for you.
  • What living boldly really means.
  • How you identify your values so that the future is exciting not scary.
  • Why bold boundaries are key to living boldly.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, going bold in 2021 will take your life to the next level!

12 Oct 2020The Best Thing to Happen to Divorce in Ages with Very Special Guest, Gabrielle Hartley on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #14400:40:40

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.

  • The financial impact of maintaining two households and how it may affect your decisions.

11 Jul 2024From the Archive: Understanding Post-Separation Abuse with Dr. Christine Cocchiola on Divorce & Beyond00:42:58

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.

*** One note, as this is an archive episode, some of the links in the episode may have changed or no longer be in use.  For more information on Dr. Christine, visit her website at https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/ ***

29 Jun 2020Getting Through Tough Times by Stepping into Your Authenticity with the Author of “Soar,” Pamela Savino on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #12900:40:06

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.

10 Aug 2020A View from the Nest: An Insider Perspective on the Upsides to Birdnesting with Special Guest, Beth Behrendt on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #13500:35:40

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.

18 Apr 2022Drowning in Drink: Alcohol Use and Abuse in Divorce with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen on Divorce & Beyond #23100:45:42

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!

If you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol or someone you love is, here are some resources:

More About Our Special Guest, Christine 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 can be a child's absolute best resource when families change.

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.

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.

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.  SPECIAL OFFER for D&B Listeners:  Use Code "SUSAN100" and receive $100 off the cost of registration!

Additionally, Christina offers customized trainings for family lawyers, collaborative professionals, divorce coaches, mental health professionals, and mediators designed to be interactive, engaging, and thought-provoking. Her programs focus on creating a comfortable space for practicing essential skills that maximize learning while providing strategies participants can use right away.

As a content creator of quality resources for separating families, she has contributed to several other media projects as a featured expert, a content consultant, and a writer/producer.

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, Esq, welcomes Beverly Price to share her journey from feeling shame after multiple divorces to finding empowerment and happiness. Tune into this week’s inspiring episode of Divorce & Beyond. Divorce is never a light-hearted journey; with it comes a flurry of emotions, including the cycle of shame. In this episode, Beverly Price joins Susan for an open-hearted discussion about her multiple divorces and what she learned along the way. For Beverly, the path has been very diverse and difficult. But as you will hear, her experiences are breathtaking, especially as she chooses to live in the space of empowering women going through a divorce.

****************************************

About this week's special guest: Beverly Price

Beverly Price brings the best of both divorce and empowerment coaching to women. She holds an MBA and certifications in Divorce, Empowerment, Life and Transformational Coaching with 25+ year’s women’s divorce coaching experience and 15+ years as a corporate executive. 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.

Research shows that 79% of women aren't confident, 4 out of 5 think they're less than other women, 62% don't believe they’re intelligent, and 1 in 2 don't think they're pretty. Divorced women struggle even more. Divorce and toxic marriages can cause a woman’s self-esteem to plummet. Price provides one-on-one coaching to help women through the ups and downs of the legal and financial process and emotions of divorce, helps them develop the skills necessary to fully participate in their divorce and find their voice and identity as a strong and emerging fulfilled woman.
