October 14, 2020 Ep. 61 Liz Becker: CDS- A Career That Is Making a Difference!
For the past 22 years, unbeknownst to her, Liz Becker has actually been rehearsing in various plays in order to finally find the script that fits her the best. Whether she was corporately executing events along the East Coast for MAC Cosmetics, or independently running her own production company, she realized early on that effective communication was a key aspect of success both in her personal and professional life. When her son was three years old, she successfully navigated through a divorce and realized shortly thereafter what her true calling was.
By combining her diverse life experience and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Training, she established a private practice as a communication skills coach and trainer, specializing in divorce and parenting. As a result, she now finds great reward in educating people on how to best cope with their own situations and provide them with unique tools and techniques to achieve positive change in their lives. Having a strong personal commitment to teaching parents and children to have better communication skills and higher emotional intelligence, she created the ‘Parenting with Results’ program.
Liz has had the pleasure of speaking at various conferences such as the Women’s Success Summit, the Divorce Expo, The Annual Dispute Resolution Center Conference, Children First Expo, and has also been a repeat expert panelist on Huffington Post Live.
After working in the Divorce Industry for the past eight years, Liz realized the absence of an association that unites and supports all of the professionals who serve the divorce clientele. She and her partner, Vicky, have successfully figured out how to fill that gaping hole and are thrilled to launch the National Association of Divorce Professionals.

October 07, 2020 Ep. 60 Jaclyn Rodriquez- Family Law Attorney: Time Blinding, Psychological Abuse and The Art of Extreme Perseverance.
Jaclyn Rodriguez is an English-Spanish bilingual Attorney at the Urbina Law Firm, LLC, focusing on family law and immigration.
She was born in Atlanta, Georgia, but soon after moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico where she was raised with her paternal Cuban family until she was 16.
In 1999, she returned to Atlanta, with her mother and stepfather, completed high school, and went on to college.
In May 2006 she graduated from The University of Georgia with a B.A. in Spanish and in May 2012 she received her J.D. from John Marshall Law School.
Ms. Rodriguez has worked in the legal field as a Paralegal/Law Clerk since 2013 focusing mainly in the areas of Immigration, Family and Juvenile Law.
In 2012 she completed an externship at the Truancy Intervention Project, a dropout prevention program serving children in the Atlanta and Fulton County Public School System who are chronically absent from school.
She is an advocate for families and children who provides representation in all immigration and family law matters, including divorce, custody, and child support issues.
She works closely with our clients providing legal advice and assists clients with daily needs, to prepare for trials and mediations.
During her time off, Mrs. Rodriguez enjoys spending her free time with her husband, and their two pups, James & Diego.
Jaclyn is expecting her first baby in 16 weeks.
I love black cats and have owned/rescued 3 so far.
I co-founded with my husband and served on the board of FureverMatch Inc., a non-profit animal rescue in 2019. I taught English in Peru at a Cultural Institute for 3 months after graduating from UGA in 2006.
My parents were divorced twice when I was 3 and 7, and my mom had to take my dad back to court when I was 14/15.
It took me 8 years to pass the bar exam, 3 of those years due to the fact that I was blindly in a very toxic relationship with a narcissist.
Breaking free and rebuilding my life was the best decision I could have made.
My husband and I met online and were engaged in less than 6 mos. and got married in under a year.
It's ok to be single and start over. Your life can start at any age even if you have never been married.
I got married at 35 for the first time and at 37 finally passed the bar and am expecting my first child. It is never too late to find happiness.

September 30, 2020 Ep. 59 Beth: Divorce Art Therapy - Yes! Creating Art to Help Heal From Divorce is Effective Therapy.
This is Beth, an Art Therapist by profession.
Beth started her own Instagram page @ divorce.art.heal documenting her divorce by sharing her mixed media art journaling pages.
Through Beth’s divorce, art was created as an outlet to express the rollercoaster of emotions. The goal is to let others who are experiencing a separation and/or divorce to know that you are not alone. Beth hopes her personal artwork resonated with others and can help the healing process.
We cover:
-What is Art Therapy and art journaling?
-Why did you decide to choose art journaling to document your divorce?
-Would art journaling be helpful to others?
- How has your artwork been helpful in your own divorce journey?
-How can someone else get started if they wanted to do this too?
-Do you have a process that helps you decide what to create?
-What are your goals in sharing your art pages?

Beth also loves to crochet and am self-taught and she learned by watching YouTube videos at night.
I love feedback when someone comments or asks questions. I would love to have more of a dialogue with people and also talk about the process of art-making more too.

September 16, 2020 Ep. 58 Lara Seidel: Actress, 3rd Degree Black Belt, Charity Activist has a few things to teach about how to heal and thrive after divorce at 40.
Lara Seidel began her career in the entertainment business 26 years ago when she became a PA for Joe Camp, creator, writer, and director of the 70’s canine film superstar, Benji.
She has been cast in over 40 commercials, one of which, Visa Checkout (narrated by Morgan Freeman), is currently airing nationally and internationally.
Seidel also played the lead in the Donald Marguiles play, Collected Stories. She has played a variety of roles from a vampire in the upcoming Night Shift 2, to a mom in an extraterrestrial invasion film, The Changers. Her current movie, Wildflowers, is available on Amazon.
She has a degree in film communications from the University of Alabama and has trained with many of the finest acting coaches in LA and Florida.
In 2010 at the age of 40, Lara endured a divorce. Many people consider 40 middle-aged and halfway through your life, so adding a divorce in the mix was challenging. But you realize that every life experience yields many different results, some good, some bad. But all are learning opportunities. You grow as a person and rediscover your individuality. And for Lara, it helped add new dimensions to her acting skills, independence, martial arts training, and her happiness level.
Six months ago, Lara decided to sell her fundraising business of 20 years and begin a new chapter of her life. Moving south of Atlanta three months ago, Lara still continues to pursue her acting career and martial arts. She is a 3rd-degree black belt in Kung Fu. http://247cast.com/laraseidel

Shauna was born in Burbank, California. Growing up, Shauna was an athlete and played competitive soccer for nearly 20 years, skateboarding since the age of 3 and on her down time you could find her playing football or basketball with the boys.
After graduating high school in 2001, Shauna moved to San Diego where she joined a world traveling soccer team and played the pro teams in their off season for experience.

Inspired by eastern medicine, she began studying massage therapy and began a massage practice (LMT). After several years she decided to transition into western medicine and became an EMT. She first worked on an ambulance then as an Emergency Room Tech which eventually led her to become a set medic for a TV show in 2008. It was at that time she discovered the world of stunts. One thing led to the next and in 2009 she returned to LA to begin her career as a stunt woman.
In May 2013, she welcomed her son, Kyson, who has been her side-kick and biggest inspiration ever since.
