On this episode of the Life Engineering Podcast, host Gabriela Embon sits down with Karen Covy, a divorce coach, consultant, mediator, and recovering divorce attorney, to explore how to navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and empowerment.

While Gabriela is passionate about helping couples build strong, lasting marriages, she acknowledges that not all relationships last forever—and when a marriage does end, the way you navigate that transition is just as important as how the relationship was built in the first place. In fact, three of the four pillars from her book, "Becoming a Power Couple", apply even after divorce, particularly when co-parenting or maintaining a respectful relationship with an ex-spouse.

Karen shares her unique perspective on shifting from a traditional legal approach to a coaching and mediation mindset, helping people avoid unnecessary conflict, make informed decisions, and create a better outcome for themselves and their families.

💡 Why the divorce system is broken—and how to navigate it in a way that protects your well-being and future.

💡 The biggest mistakes people make in divorce and how to avoid them.

💡 How to manage the emotional toll of divorce while making sound legal and financial decisions.

💡 Why mindset is everything—shifting from a victim mentality to a growth-oriented approach.

💡 How to approach co-parenting with respect to minimize conflict and protect your children.

💡 How to transition into your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

Whether you’re facing divorce, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how to make empowered choices in any life transition, this conversation will give you the insights and tools to move forward with strength and grace.
