Today on the podcast I am talking to children's author Lyndsi Richards about her debut book A Tuesday Kind of Love in which she reminds children whose parents are no longer together, that love and respect for one another can still exist in their separate homes.

Lyndsi, originally from Hawaii and now living in Los Angeles, is a single mom of 4 year old twins.

This vibrant and vulnerable picture book follows the love story of gorilla Lani and monkey Kanoa and their journey to becoming parents. But after their twins Lili and Koi are born, they begin arguing and missing the lives they had when they were on their own. They make the difficult decision to separate, but are determined to show their children that they still appreciate one another, as Kanoa swings down and brings the mother of his child flowers every Tuesday.

We talk about the:

• difficulties and challenges around being a single parent
• how to show kindness and appreciation to your Ex (yep!!)
• benefits of maintaining a healthy relationship whilst co-parenting

"Love is understanding, forgiving and respectful. It can still be powerful and pure even if you set it free."

This week I am chatting to the lovely Ceri Griffiths, a Chartered Financial Planner about the necessity of good financial planning through a divorce. Finance in divorce can be an area of concern, fear and anxiety and Ceri and I chat through the following areas in this episode:

So get a pen and paper ready for:

• What a financial planner does exactly
• 3 practical things financially can those getting a divorce do?
• Family home dilemmas - sell or not to sell?
• Overlooked financial areas when divorcing

If you are lacking in confidence and experience in finance, or lack understanding and perspective on the true value of marital assets Ceri has created an approach that firmly addresses this.

I wish I had met Ceri years ago when I needed clear 'savvy' financial advice at the start of the process to feel more confident through and beyond my divorce... All the more reason I am so happy to share this kind, thoughtful and well-qualified lady with you all today!

Tosh chats to Martine Louis a Money Coach who helps women entrepreneurs and organizations to transform their relationship with money to develop a successful and sustainable business.

Main learnings:

• How money mindset affects you through life and specifically divorce
• What the archetypes are that influence your relationship with money
• How to recognise the archetypes and how they work
• What happens to you and money when you begin to look at where your money mindset comes from

Backed by over 35 years experience in finance - retail, business, private and international banking – Martine has added a philosophical and spiritual dimension to her practice as an asset manager gained through her studies, Asian philosophies and interest in psychology and specifically the work of Carl Jung.

Having made a choice to join her companion in the UK and leave the comfort of her executive management position and financial security she found for the first time in her life she was without pay and income. Through this experience, deliberately chosen she faced the fear of 'lack'. She felt insecure, lost her confidence and sense of purpose in life. She discovered Money Coaching which literally transformed her life.

Martine's visionary mind is a little rebellious - love a bit of this!! And she is riding the wave of the new economy to share her knowledge, techniques and unique process she developed, to bring entrepreneurs and organizations with insights and profound changes, as well as transforming their relationship with money.

Martine now explores the fundamental themes of the relationship that everyone has with money, passing all her knowledge and experience to the people she coaches.

Martine Louis is in the field of Money Coaching with over 30 years experience in financial management in the retail, private and corporate, and for two years she was engaged on a spiritual path and involved in a non-governmental organization.

Tosh has the pleasure of talking to Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond Co-Founders of Our Happy Divorce, a service that offers guidance on creating a post-divorce happy, modern family and Authors of "Our Happy Divorce - How Ending Our Marriage Brought Us Together".

Why they made the decisions they did to support a 'happy divorce' and focus on their Son through the process. This is an honest, frank and authentic conversation with two great, kind and generous people sharing their 'why' to help, support and inspire others thinking about or going through a divorce to choose a kinder, more compassionate and ultimately a happier path.

Nikki DeBartolo understands the impact of a loving family and how it creates a solid foundation for the future for a person navigating through life, love, marriage, and motherhood.

Having grown up as a member of the iconic San Francisco 49ers football family, the values she learned on the field from a young age, have helped shape who she is today. As Executive Vice President of DeBartolo Holdings and the DeBartolo Family Foundation, Nikki has made it her mission to give back to her community in every way possible, from supporting local grassroots movements to national charities, she has been part of multiple initiatives, giving back to her community, including, Metropolitan Ministries, Meal on Wheels, The Boys and Girls Club, The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, and the HCSO Freddie Solomon Christmas Event.

She is proud of the accomplishments that the DeBartolo Family Foundation has been able to share with nonprofits and enjoys when those moments come to life, making the Tampa Bay community – where she lives with her husband, Chad, son, Asher, and their two dogs – feel more like a family.

Ben Heldfond understands the detriment divorce can cause in the lives of children, as his parents' divorce instilled a deep commitment to 'do' better for his children one day.

He is also the owner of Heldfond Holdings, LLC, a company that invests in a wide variety of companies, including real estate, private equity and venture capital. His corporate career began more than three decades ago in real estate career, where he played an integral part in the company's development acquisitions and diversified investing transactions. He has always had a passion for helping others and since then has been involved with several non-profit organizations; focused on addiction recovery, including, Facing Addiction w/NCADD, Road Recovery, Phoenix House, Young People in Recovery and American Cancer Society Tampa CEO Council with a focus on Governance, Finance and Strategic Planning.

He is a graduate from The University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor of Science degree in African American History and Business Administration. Outside of the office, Ben is an investor, board member, philanthropist, sports enthusiast and co-host for a local radio show. He resides in South Tampa with his wife, Nadia, and three kids, Asher, Isabella and Jackson.
