While navigating divorce, fear of the unknown often drives us to replace our uncertainty with a catastrophic worst case scenario about our future. However, our greatest fears rarely come true. Today’s session is designed to provide you with hope and encouragement as you hear one woman’s journey from fear and overwhelm to a post divorce life that is very different from what she feared.

Tune in as she shares the struggles she faced with her narcissistic ex, and how while he never changed, she changed so much that she rarely feels anxiety around interactions with him. Elle shares how she is living a peaceful and joyful life in spite of the fact that she has been divorced for 8 years, co-parenting / parallel parenting her school age child with his dad (and has many years left to go before her child is emancipated). Elle shares specific tools and strategies she received from coaching that you too can use to minimize the stress and tension in your situation.

The neurons in our brains are not all alike. Our brains think and feel in four different ways, every one of us. We may be more aware of certain ways than others, and define ourselves by the ways of thinking that are habitual...which does not always serve us well, especially when navigating divorce and post divorce life.

In today’s show, Part 2 of You’re Not Crazy: Exploring the Voices in Your Head, Lisa and Karen familiarize you with the four distinct thinking and feeling modes in your brain introduced in Part 1. With this knowledge you can begin to understand how you can expand your responses to the many challenging situations that arise during the divorce journey as well as life in general. Imagine, you have undiscovered resources within yourself that can help you to be more resourceful and your life easier to navigate! Ready to meet yourself in a new way? Let’s go...

It is an all too human tendency to react to stressful situations in counterproductive ways, to attack out of intense emotion without a clear purpose, to accommodate long after it's healthy to do so, or to avoid addressing situations that are destructive. While these are rarely wise strategies, they are disastrous strategies prior to, in the midst of, and post divorce.

During this episode and the following two Team Talks, Karen McMahon and Lisa Brick discuss an alternative approach to attacking, accommodating, and avoiding, help you to understand what part of your brain gets hijacked when you do, and how to be proactive, forward looking, and purposeful. When you use all of your brain, not just the hijacked parts, to handle the challenges that arise around divorce you begin to master your situation.

These three Team Talks are based on the research and findings of neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor in her 2021 book, Whole Brain Living: the Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Lives.

You kids have been experiencing conflict throughout the marriage, even if you think you have ‘hidden’ it from them. Now that a decision has been made to divorce, tensions will only rise. It is all the more important to focus on protecting your children now while navigating a high conflict divorce.

Deciding when, how and what to tell the kids about the divorce is just the beginning. Figuring out how to parent in the ‘in between’ while still living together is another sensitive topic that needs to be handled carefully. Then there is the possibility that you or your spouse may blame, criticize or bad mouth the other to the kids. This is always harmful to them and we discuss what you can do to minimize the damage.

Finally, the money earning parent may want to increase his/her time with the children. We discuss the importance of honoring and maintaining as much ‘normalcy’ as possible for your kids and handling any change with caution and clear communication, so they understand what is happening and why. Parenting post divorce may be equally challenging. Tune in to hear options for decision making and shared parenting time that puts the kids first.

Living with a narcissist is ‘crazy making’. Understanding your role in the ongoing insanity is vital in order to create lasting change. In order to navigate your divorce effectively and strategically and emerge confident and renewed, it is essential that you keep your focus on that which you have power over...your thoughts, feelings and behavior.

Today’s episode invites you into a ‘coaching experience’ where we validate your reality of fear and uncertainty, of your self esteem and confidence having been chiseled away in your dysfunctional marriage. Tune in to access powerful strategies to begin to feel confident and empowered. Learn how futile many of your efforts of engaging with your spouse have been and how to let go of those behaviors. Receive new ways of thinking and being that lead you through your divorce with greater calm and clarity and invite you into a new and immensely more pleasing life experience.

Does your soon to be ex-spouse appear cooperative, but your gut tells you otherwise? Do they seem outwardly calm and rational, but your interactions feel hostile and chaotic?

If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, you are, in all likelihood, divorcing a passive-aggressive spouse. This dynamic may not appear to be high conflict, but it is.

Being on the receiving end of passive-aggressive behavior can trigger frustration, anger, anxiety, and confusion. In this podcast, you will learn how to identify passive-aggressive behavior and strategies for staying calm, grounded, and clear-thinking.

Welcome back to Life After Divorce. In today’s episode, Improve Your Mindset, Mood and Movement with Healthy Nutrition, we dive into the connection between what we eat and how we feel. Our tendency to go for ‘comfort foods’ when stress is high and time is short undercuts our desire to have clarity of mind, control over our emotional reactions and the energy to navigate our post divorce life. Eating healthy for many seems like a great idea but the time and effort to do so makes it unattainable.

Today’s guest shares his journey from the pain of poor eating habits to his now vibrant healthy life, rooted in healthy nutrition. Listen in as Scott shares the immense value in healthy nutrition while debunking the belief that healthy eating is too time consuming for our busy schedules.

Scott Harvell is a Nutrition and Health Coach at Health by Design. Through nutrition, he has been able to conquer severe depression with suicidal thoughts and eliminate all chemical medications. Today he boasts an immune system that’s powerful enough to beat any illness within days and is more energized and productive than ever. Scott shares his passion for helping others discover how they too can live their optimal life through nutrition and personal care.

Scott and his wife, Dr. Kristy Harvell have an eBook called "How to Maximize Your Health Potential" and online 12-week nutrition program called 90/10 Lifestyle.

Living under one roof while going through a divorce may be more common than you think. It may be that neither spouse will agree to leave the marital home, finances make it challenging to support two homes, or both spouses agree it is in the children’s best interest to physically separate at a later date.

Cohabitating during the divorce process can be challenging. Today’s Team Talks provides tips and strategies for cohabitating effectively, including establishing ground rules for cohabitation, setting clear emotional and physical boundaries, and shifting your mindset from living with a life partner to living with a roommate, and the benefits of using an on-line calendar for co-parenting (Co-parenting Scheduling Calendar Apps).

As we continue talking about healthy living, today’s guest has a powerful and successful approach to nutrition and exercise. She shares that the first step is to eat what we enjoy AND begin tracking it. By examining the proteins, fats and carbs in our deit, we raise our awareness what our body is receiving and what it is lacking that we need. The thing I love the most about Chas’ approach is she meets each client where they are and helps them to slowly add what is missing and change what is causing harm. She uses the same approach to exercise and tells her client NOT to exercise in the beginning. When they begin it is internally driven.

Chas Snowden is a Southern girl, a Nutrition Coach and former crossfit games athlete. Chas passionately teaches people how to eat what they love while getting results! She developed the FLA Movement, Tribe and Foundations in order to help people solidify these permanent lifestyle changes!
