    I really appreciate what Deborah is doing for the women out there in toxic relationships. I wish I had the voices of the survivors 30 years ago but maybe today I helped someone, and to me that is priceless.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

High-Conflict Divorce, Legal Abuse & Protecting Your Children with Lisa Johnson
Q: How can someone protect themselves financially when they're in a legal battle with a narcissist or someone with a personality disorder?
Recognize that such cases won't follow normal divorce dynamics, prepare for higher expenditures, aim to keep dispute out of court when possible, and seek strategic, child-centered solutions to minimize long-term costs and harm to parenting relationships.
High-Conflict Divorce, Legal Abuse & Protecting Your Children with Lisa Johnson
Q: What are some of the earliest red flags that tell someone their divorce or separation is likely to become a high-conflict case?
Red flags include ongoing financial abuse, control over money, hidden assets, and discovery battles; these behaviors signal a pattern that will complicate the divorce and impact children and finances, suggesting a high-conflict trajectory.
Starting Over After Divorce: Healing, Confidence, and Freedom in Midlife
Q: What role does breath work play in your healing and in daily life after divorce?
Breath work is used to help let go of the past, calm the nervous system, and manage anxiety. Techniques like box breathing give the mind a focused task, reduce fight-or-flight responses, improve sleep, and enhance overall focus for daily activities.
Starting Over After Divorce: Healing, Confidence, and Freedom in Midlife
Q: How did you actually quit smoking, and what made that change stick this time?
The guest describes trying a book-based approach followed by deep self-hypnosis, then quitting cold turkey when the realization that change was essential finally outweighed fear. A strong personal wake-up call, like cancer, solidified the decision to change and pursue a healthier lifestyle.
Divorce Recovery & Reinvention: A Single Mother’s Journey to Stability and Purpose | Gail Showalter
Q: You've said that divorce hurts, and this is where I can be vulnerable. What did vulnerability look like for you during those early Single Mother years?
Gail spoke about feeling like a statistic, the role of empathy from others, and how she navigated grief, judgment, and isolation while finding ways to support herself and her children through education and community.
