  • Great perspectives

    Jolie’s interview gave great insight into navigating a divorce with tact and integrity. The interviewer also had excellent questions throughout. While it was a short episode, it really packed a punch in terms of great information. I enjoyed listening.

Divorcing an Addict Isn't Like Any Other Divorce with Meredith Beardmore
Q: What should a person do first if they discover their partner has an addiction and the relationship may end?
Seek professional support immediately, especially a therapist, to navigate safety planning, gather referrals, and understand how to protect themselves and the children, including legal steps when necessary.
Divorcing an Addict Isn't Like Any Other Divorce with Meredith Beardmore
Q: What makes divorcing someone with an addiction different from a non-addicted divorce?
The addiction shapes reality and often drives behavior, requiring focus on safety and risk rather than typical asset division or scheduling; the process centers on protecting children and addressing dangerous or unpredictable actions.
Using Artificial Intelligence to Survive a High Conflict Divorce with Rina Groeneveld
Q: How does AI really help us in these situations?
AI can create a buffer between the survivor and triggering messages, help decode and summarize communications, and generate careful, professional responses that reduce emotional reactivity and stress, while also aiding in pattern recognition for court documents.
The Secret Weapon That Changes High-Conflict Co-Parenting Conversations with Lyerly Spongberg
Q: So what is this? Like, what is strategic empathy?
Strategic empathy is about acknowledging someone's fears, concerns, or needs around a topic, even when you disagree, to interrupt conflict and keep the conversation moving toward a possible solution.
Real Talk on Surviving a Coercive Control Divorce with Lisa Happ
Q: What are the first steps someone should take when facing coercive control in a divorce?
Assemble a knowledgeable team (attorney, therapist or coach), limit venting to safe people, and start implementing nervous-system-friendly techniques like controlled breathing and grounding practices to stabilize through the process.
