Her Empowered Divorce

SELF-CARE DURING THE DIVORCE PROCESS. EP 100. 

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach 

GUEST: Susan Guthrie, Mediator and Attorney

SUMMARY: 

Self-care during divorce is not a luxury but a necessity. The emotional toll of ending a marriage can be overwhelming, and taking care of oneself becomes paramount during this challenging time. Self-care is also more than just spa days and bubble baths. It is about prioritizing your mental, emotional, and physical well-being and may entail seeking professional help to navigate the complex feelings that arise. In this turbulent time, self-care serves as the anchor that helps you heal and empowers you to make sound decisions and ultimately emerge from the divorce process with strength and resilience to face the new reality. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Susan Guthrie, a mediator, attorney, and the host of The Divorce and Beyond Podcast. Together, they discuss the profound impact and significance of self-care during the divorce process and how you can incorporate effective self-care strategies that can help you show up for yourself, your children, and your family.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you’d like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

• Self-care during a divorce is not selfish; it’s a necessity. Always start with your self-care. If you don’t take care of yourself during this stressful time, you will not be much help to yourself, your children, who have amplified need of you, other family members, and other people who need you.  
• Stress and anxiety in divorce. Making hasty decisions based on emotions in divorce is the biggest mistake. Be aware of what is happening for you and to you, take a pause, and do things for yourself (self-care) that will help you get off the hot rock.
• Regardless of your drive to get a divorce, divorce is not something you put a bandage on, and it heal. Once you get through the divorce, you have a new reality ahead, and taking care of yourself will help you deal with your emotions, make better decisions, and get to the other side in a better state. 
• When you are having conversations about divorce, and you feel stressed and emotionally overwhelmed, you are not capable of thinking clearly, and one of the biggest self-care is saying, “I need some time to think about it,” you do not always need to make decisions at that moment. 

NOTABLE QUOTES:

• If you are feeling whole, have more control over your emotional state, and your cortisol and hormones are not hijacking your brain, you are going to make better decisions, and you are going to move forward to a better future, as opposed to moving to a future that is predicated on decisions that were made when your emotions were in control and brain was not functioning well. (Susan) 
• The worst mistake you can make during a divorce is to let your emotions hijack you. (Beverly)
• Even if you don’t generally believe in therapy or believe that you are someone who doesn’t need therapy, please consider situational therapy as you go through divorce and having a coach help you as you go forward. (Susan) 
• If nothing else can pool you out and get you to take care of yourself, your love for your children means you have to love yourself because your children love you, and you have to care for yourself so that you can care for them; don’t make them care for you. (Susan) 
• To have a great life post-divorce, you want to take care of yourself and move forward in a better way toward your future; the decisions you make during your divorce lay the foundation for your new life after divorce. (Susan) 
• When stress hormones are running around in your body, they shut the part of the brain that is rational; when you are feeling that way, you are not capable of thinking clearly, and one of the biggest self-care is asking for more time to think about it; you don’t always need to make decisions at that moment. (Susan)

HOW TO DEAL WITH ADULT CHILDREN DURING A DIVORCE. EP 99. 

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach 

GUEST: Linda Hershman, Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist 

SUMMARY: 

In the tumultuous process of divorce, our focus tends to gravitate toward the younger ones caught in the midst of it all, inadvertently sidelining the experiences of adult children, who can also be profoundly affected. Adult children are often unfairly perceived as resilient and self-reliant individuals capable of weathering any storm, a misconception that discredits their feelings and emotional experiences during their parents' separation. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Linda Hershman, a returning guest who is a Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist and the author of Gray Divorce. They discuss this lesser-explored topic: gray divorce and its impact on older children and why acknowledging the vulnerability of adult children and providing them with the support they need is as crucial as safeguarding the interests of the younger ones.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you’d like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• What is the phenomenon of adult children and divorce? Divorce's impact on adult children is considered part of ambiguous losses. These are losses that are not recognized by society as losses and for which there is no community support.
• It’s not simple for adult children of divorce (ACODs); they experience many losses, such as family traditions, financial losses, and broken promises, that may devastate them. Listen to them, ask them, validate their feelings, and encourage them to get their own support.
• Why is parent splitting when children are first going to college the worst time ever? Going to college is a transition time, and divorce impedes this transition. Children get stuck with one leg at school and the other at home and are constantly worrying about what is going on at home.
• What is the financial implication of divorce on ACODs? So many adult children organize their lives around their parents' promises, but they are broken by divorce and loss of childcare.
• Regardless of your child's age, don’t put them in the middle of your divorce. Your children are your children, not your friends; do not lean on them for any support, get your own support system in place, and don’t look to your adult children to parent you. 

NOTABLE QUOTES:

• People tend to assume that because ACODs are adults, they have their own lives, and they can understand what is happening and deal with it, but in reality, ACODs suffer very different and sometimes even worse losses in the divorce process than their younger counterparts. (Linda)
• Remember, even though they are adults, they will always be your children; don’t lean on them as if they were your friends. Don’t complain about the other spouses or make your children feel sorry for you that they become the parent-to-parent and fix you. (Beverly)
• The worst time for parents to split up is when their kids are first going off to college. Going to college is a transition time; it is a time of individualization, establishing one's identity, meeting new people, and learning who one is. (Linda) 
• Your children are not an aggregate; each child has their own personality and processing style, so don’t treat them as a cluster; give attention to each of them. (Linda) 
• When adult children become a caretaker to their parents, it’s a double-edged sword because it’s a heavy responsibility that should not be their responsibility, so make sure you are not putting your child in that role. (Linda) 
• ACODs' feelings are feelings, and feelings are not facts; listen, ask them, and validate their feelings, encourage them to get their own support, and don’t dismiss them. (Linda)

FINDING OUR PURPOSE AFTER DIVORCE EP 98. 

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach 

GUEST: Maci Chance, Realtor and Certified Divorce Specialist

SUMMARY: 

Divorce often presents a significant financial challenge for many women, particularly those who were not working during their marriage. The process can leave them financially weakened and in a less secure economic position than before. However, regardless of the circumstances, every woman navigating the complexities of divorce deserves the opportunity for a brighter and more secure future. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, engages in an insightful conversation with Maci Chance, a Realtor with extensive experience in divorce in Denver, Colorado. Together, they discuss the self-reflection journey of waking Up to Your Life and finding Purpose after divorce to provide you with tools for managing change, redefining identity, finding your purpose, and navigating the uncharted waters of post-divorce life. 

Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you’d like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Passion meeting purpose is a personal journey of self-reflection, therapy, inner work, and personal development. You deserve better. Wake up to yourself and commit to your life journey to rebuild your self-esteem and figure out how to become your best version.
• There will always be FEAR when making a big financial decision on your own in the midst of the divorce chaos, but working with a lending professional skilled in divorce will help you understand the options available, what is possible, and what makes sense for you.
• How can a woman who did not work before a divorce but has an income buy a house? It’s important to work with professionals who know how to structure settlements to help you qualify for as much as possible and to help you make the best financial decisions. 
• Managing the change and turbulence that comes with divorce is all about having a support system. Divorce is a lonely process, so surround yourself with a team of people who care about you; it makes the journey much easier and helps you get grounded to be present for your kids. 

NOTABLE QUOTES:

• There will always be FEAR when making a big financial purchase on your own during the divorce chaos; work with a lending professional skilled in divorce to help you make the best financial decision for your future. (Maci)
• Don’t let your emotions hijack your thinking through a divorce; approach it as a business decision. The more you can do that, the clearer your head is to make good decisions. (Beverly)
• Deciding what’s your ideal situation can be tricky because we have in our mind what we think we want, but sometimes it takes someone else to see what else is possible for you. (Maci) 
• Figuring out who you are, how you contributed to the breakdown of your marriage, what was your and not your responsibility, and what makes you happy can help you rebuild your self-esteem after divorce. (Maci) 
• You need to be supportive and grounded for your kids, and making the best financial decision during a divorce is about understanding the facts and information you are getting so you can make decisions that are not emotional but based on facts. (Maci) 
• Having a therapist who is a neutral person to talk to and surrounding yourself with people who can help you through the turbulent and traumatic events of divorce is critical; it makes the journey easier. (Maci)

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIVORCE AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS EP 97

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Rosemarie Ferrante, Collaborative Attorney/ Mediator for Divorce Mediation Center of Fairfield County

SUMMARY:

When contemplating divorce, our minds often leap to hiring lawyers as the default course of action. While this approach might be suitable for certain families, it's crucial to recognize that alternative, less adversarial methods exist, and they can bring more positive outcomes. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Rosemarie Ferrante, a family attorney, Collaborative Attorney, and Mediator for the Divorce Mediation Center of Fairfield County. They discuss the different types of divorce, their implications, and how they influence the trajectories of our lives post-divorce – impacting the quality of co-parenting relationships and the financial aspects. Beverly and Rosemarie also talk about the contrast from settlement to mediation to collaborative and under which circumstances each should be used.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you’d like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

●     Do you need litigation for your family? No, you need non-adversarial divorce processes. The litigation process is an adversarial process. It is not set up necessarily to help families solve problems. It’s best suited for people who never need not to co-parent or see each other again.  

●     Mediation and collaborative divorce processes are the first processes to consider when looking for a process that will work for your family. They are voluntary, take both spouses' commitment, and are founded on the principles of good faith and full transparency.

●     Is mediation and collaborative suit for hostile individuals? Yes, but collaborative would be a better fit because both parties have an attorney in every meeting, and there is a mental health professional involved to help manage emotions.

●     No matter where you are in your divorce process, initiating conversations with your spouse is critical. Conversations can help you start the healing process and figure things out. Dragging someone through a divorce process is a recipe for disaster. If the person is not ready, healing, therapeutic separation, and counseling can help.

●     What makes collaborative different is the signed participation agreement, signed by both lawyers that say they are not going to court. If the collaborative breaks down, the attorneys will not be the litigators.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

●     There are attorneys who double in a little of everything, but just like you are seeking a specialist in medical care when it comes to legal care and legal advice, it’s imperative to use attorneys trained specifically in family law. (Rosemarie)

●     So many people think divorce is a negative, hostile, and antagonistic process, but reframing your thinking to view it as a healing process can be amazing. (Beverly)

●     The majority of family matters can be resolved with mediation or collaborative, but it takes both spouses' willingness to participate. Divorce is not easy, even in the best of circumstances. (Rosemarie)

●     There is so much emotion involved in every divorce, and the emotional prep work is so critical. It takes both spouses to recognize that not every relationship is meant to last forever, and it’s okay. If you aren’t doing marriage well, you can do the divorce well, particularly if there are children involved. What starts with love can end with respect. (Rosemarie)

●     Getting to the place where you are both ready to proceed with compassion and respect is where the hard work is, and when we do it, the legal and financial can be a lot smoother. Emotional prep work is the difference between a smooth, healthy and expensive, destructive litigious process. (Rosemarie)

●     Nobody knows your family better than you do, so just think through, in your particular instance, what support you need and feel best serves your family and find a process that will be best for your unique circumstances. (Rosemarie)

HOW PAST EMOTIONS RESURFACE DURING A DIVORCE EP 96

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Sharon Mosley, Sharon Mosley Mental Health Therapist

SUMMARY:

During a divorce, the long-buried emotional and psychological issues can resurface, intensifying the already challenging situation. Feelings of abandonment, betrayal, and inadequacy may reemerge, amplifying the conflicts between spouses. Unhealed wounds from the past can cloud judgment and hinder effective communication, leading to prolonged legal battles and heightened emotional turmoil. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Sharon Mosley, a therapist and licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience. They discuss the old tapes from our childhood and society that continue to play in our minds, how they can resurface during divorce, and what we can do about them to enhance our emotional and mental well-being.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you’d like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

●     Our past can resurface during divorce because so many of us as women have an identity as wives, and when divorce comes, and the title goes away, it can leave a big emotional gap.

●     Emotional and verbal abuse in a relationship can trigger old tapes, make us discredit ourselves of what we can do, manifest physically, and impact our kids.

●     Why is he doing this to me? Sometimes it may be a personal attack, and other times, it has very little to do with you; it is about something they have not resolved, and you become the target because you are close.

●     Regardless of where you are, it takes a lot of courage to come out and speak about what is happening in your divorce. Why? Because whatever you feel is real, no one can tell you what to feel and what not to feel, and it’s not your fault.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

●     The question of “what can I do after the divorce” is often rooted in something from childhood or earlier experiences, and what happens with partners is they reinforce the very thing you are trying to get away from. (Sharon)

●     Many women are dealing with emotional and verbal abuse and people putting them down. (Beverly)

●     Some of the old tapes that tend to come back after divorce are, I’m a failure, I don’t matter, my life has little meaning, and It’s my fault. It’s my fault is a big one, and often, the guilt of something that is not your fault can come back (Sharon)

●     The very person we are divorcing at some point was the very person we shared all or most of our intimate thoughts with, and they may know us better than just anyone; when we get to that place when we may no longer be friends, they know all the buttons to push to leave us in a vulnerable place. (Sharon)

●     What is happening to you emotionally can have a physical impact; the correlation between mental and emotional health is real; if you let something fester and not heal, it can spread like cancer and impact other areas of your life. (Sharon)

●     When a woman is the victim of verbal and mental abuse, it harms her ability to manage her divorce, and her emotional health can manifest physically and impact other areas of her life. (Sharon)

PET CUSTODY AND DIVORCE EPISODE 95

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Cary Jacobson, The Founder and CEO of Jacobson Family Law

SUMMARY:

Pet custody can be a profoundly challenging aspect to navigate in the aftermath of a divorce. The deep emotional bonds that we often share with our pets can make determining the post-divorce pet custody arrangements incredibly complex. On this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Cary Jacobson, the founder and CEO of Jacobson Family Law. They discuss pet custody, how it’s determined during a divorce, and what to consider if you are in settlement or mediation.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills and confidence. If you’d like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

Visit https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/her-empowered-divorce/id1635143315 to access the entire archive of Her Empowered Divorce episodes, and while you’re there, please subscribe, rate and review our show!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

● Pet custody after divorce depends on the jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions will approach pets as properties and others as children.

● The hostile side can use pets to hurt the other person. Why? Sometimes the desire to inflict emotional harm often outweighs the concern for the animal's well-being and doing the right thing.

● Would the court or agreements handle service and support animals differently? Yes, it definitely is.

● Regardless of whether you are in settlement or mediation, you have to consider where you will be living (will there be a place for the animal?) and how you will financially support the pet.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

● In jurisdictions that treat pets similar to kids, they could award a custody access schedule and allow support agreement for the pet. (Cary)

● People are now treating their pets so much like humans and children that this is a natural evolution. (Beverly)

● In some cases, people want to win by using pets to stick it or hurt the other person rather than wanting the animal; they just don’t want the other person to have the animal. (Cary)

● If you have kids, take into consideration how they are attached to the pets, it’s important for the kids to have that support and to know where and when they will see the pet. (Cary)

● If you separate the children from the pets, that will make the transition even harder after a divorce. (Beverly)

● You can provide in your estate plan who will take care of the pet and if you will leave money for their care. (Cary)

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Cary Jacobson is the Founder and CEO of Jacobson Family Law. She has been practicing law for nearly a decade, having successfully represented clients in all facets of family law proceedings, including separation, divorce, custody, child support, post-divorce enforcement, and other family law-related matters.

Through her experience litigating family law matters Cary has found that the conflict associated with litigation often tears a family apart, making it toxic for children and their parents. However, as a certified mediator and collaborative divorce attorney, Cary has also seen how these forms of alternative dispute resolution can lead to and foster successful co-parenting arrangements.

Cary has chosen to dedicate her practice to working with clients who wish to resolve their family disputes without court intervention. She assists clients in choosing between mediation, collaborative divorce or separation agreements in order to keep drama out of their divorce.

HER EMPOWERED DIVORCE EP 94

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Martha Van Dam, State Licensed and Nationally Certified Psychotherapist, Owner of Living Beyond

SUMMARY:

Infidelity has many facets and while it is usually seen as the end of a relationship, it might be so much more than that. On this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Martha Van Dam state licensed and nationally certified psychotherapist who owns her business Living Beyond and helps women heal from infidelity, betrayal and cheating on the daily. They discuss how it happens, how you can heal from it and even have wonderful things come out of one of the most traumatic experiences of life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

● Infidelity is one of the most painful things a person can deal with in marriage. Why?

Because it traumatizes you for life.

● Most couples, unexpectedly, do not divorce after infidelity occurs.

● Is it different if the cheater is the man or the woman, or if it is a one night stand or a long-term affair? Yes, it definitely is.

● You have to take care of yourself and heal yourself before you can take care of others. Prioritize yourself and your healing after a traumatic experience and only then can you help others through it.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

● So often we do not want to talk about the B word, the C word and the I word, which are Betrayal, Cheating and Infidelity but today we do, to move on from it. (Beverly)

● Infidelity is the most painful thing a person can deal with in a marriage or partnership. It genuinely does leave trauma and PTSD, life-scarring. (Martha)

● We do not hide the things that are okay. (Martha)

● You have to work to heal, you can not take care of your family if you do not take care of yourself. (Beverly)

● It is vitally important to listen to the little inner voice you have. (Martha)

● Don't let your experience be wasted, question what it has to teach you, so you can learn by going through it the first time. (Martha)

● There can be an amazing life after infidelity happens but it depends on how you choose to work for it. (Martha)

HER EMPOWERED DIVORCE PODCAST 

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce, Empowerment and Pre-Mediation Coach

GUEST: Bailey Artis, Insurance Agent

SUMMARY:

On this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, we’re solving the dilemma of what to do about health insurance during/after a divorce. Host Beverly Price’s guest is Bailey Artis, an insurance agent with Charter Financial Group of Carolina. Having helped Beverly solve her own health insurance dilemma, we know Bailey is someone you can trust to guide you through this stressful time in life. She knows every step of the process, every option you have, and she’ll even choose a plan for you if you’re too overwhelmed.

“One thing that I’m really good at is taking [stress and overwhelm] off my client’s plate,” Bailey says. Listen in to learn the various health insurance options you have as a divorcing/divorced woman and the simple action steps you can take to get yourself (and your kids) covered at an affordable cost.

Health insurance is a huge financial decision, but whether you’re employed, over 65 and on Medicare, or younger and looking for private insurance, you have lots of options and guidance at your disposal. “You come to me saying I’m getting divorced, I need insurance, and I will handle it from there,” Bailey says. “You don’t need a spouse to do it, you can do it on your own.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

·      You Have Options:

o  COBRA – The exact same coverage, but the employer doesn’t pay their match (you pay double).

o  The Marketplace – Go to healthcare.gov to find individual health insurance plans.

o  Employer’s Group Plan: If you’re working for a company that offers insurance, opt in!

·      Your Kids Stay Protected: Children under 26 can remain a dependent on your spouse’s insurance policy or they can switch to yours.

·      Medicare: When and how do I apply for Medicare after a divorce? Is my Medicare eligibility affected if I get divorced?

·      Affordability: What do I do if I can’t afford COBRA? How affordable is it to insure children? Does Bailey charge for her services? (Spoiler: She’s free of charge!)

·      Overcoming Financial Overwhelm & Shame: How to approach finances and insurance when it’s easily overwhelming + Bailey’s best advice

·      Dealing With the Emotions & Stress of Divorce: How Bailey helps divorced women through the stress and overwhelm of choosing a health insurance plan.

·      The Scariest Part of Navigating Health Insurance & Divorce:

o  “To think that all this time, I’ve been covered and I’ve never had to worry about health insurance.” Do you resonate?

o  The stipulations of health insurance are expensive and you can be penalized for not having it.

·      Word to the Wise: Don’t Worry, You Can Do This!

o  You have affordable options.

o  You can be independently on your own health insurance policy.

o  The lower your income, the more options you have! Even if you have high income, there are subsidies that can help lower monthly costs.

o  There’s nothing shameful about being on Medicaid. Take the Medicaid if you’re eligible for it!

·      Top Three Tips for Women in the Midst of Divorce:

o  #1: Don’t stress or worry about health insurance. You are going to be covered and it’s going to be affordable.

o  #2: You don’t need a spouse to do it, you can do it on your own.

o  #3: Gather your financial information and make sure you’re in a good financial position first. Get the help you qualify for to get yourself where you need to be, then contact Bailey!

NOTABLE QUOTES:

·      “You don’t need a spouse to do it, you can do it on your own.” (Bailey)

·      “The kids have to come off [insurance] at 26. At 26, they’ll have to do their own thing, whether they’re working or going on the marketplace, but if they’re young children, then they can definitely stay on that spouse’s employer coverage or they would most likely qualify for Medicaid or a CHIP through the state.” (Bailey)

·      “One thing that I’m really good at is taking [stress and overwhelm] off my client’s plate. Basically, you just give me some info that I need and I will find the best option for you. If you tell me to choose, I will even choose the plan for you, send it over, you sign for it, it’s done. I will make sure that that process is off of your plate.” (Bailey)

·      “Just like many attorneys and divorce professionals recommend someone like me, a divorce coach, to guide someone through the divorce process, I think the health insurance process is so confusing that it’s awesome that you do it.” (Beverly)

HER EMPOWERED DIVORCE

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Ilyssa Panitz, Divorce Journalist & Commentator

SUMMARY:

On this episode of Her Empowered Divorce we’re finding out why – far from a tragic ending – divorce can signal the start of a whole new chapter in life. Host Beverly Price’s guest is Ilyssa Panitz, a multi-media journalist who is an expert on the topic. A survivor herself, Ilyssa knows how important it is to reclaim our voices and recognize our agency in the face of challenges like domestic violence or financial uncertainty. It’s a process that starts with mindset and a determination to #Survive & Thrive! “You’re going to feel so different as an individual (post-divorce),” says Ilyssa, host of “The Divorce Hour” on CRN Digital Talk Radio. “I think women develop more confidence, are happier, feel more at peace and start liking themselves.” You’ll learn why there’s no rush to start up a new relationship (especially if you haven’t spent any time “dating yourself” first!) and how to cultivate a deeper appreciation for all that the mature you brings to the table. Divorce can be your new beginning, but it’s not a journey to be taken alone, says Ilyssa. Reach out for the support of good friends – new and old – and consider enlisting the wisdom of trusted coaches and advisers to help get through one of life’s trickiest and most stressful transitions – only to emerge feeling stronger and better than ever on the other side! “Divorce is really just your intermission,” says Ilyssa. “The first act of your life may be done, but we have yet to see what’s going to play out.”

Keep up with all Ilyssa’s latest thoughts by tuning in for "The Divorce Hour," her weekly program on CRN Digital Talk Radio. It’s also a podcast available on every major platform!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

·      Invitation to Reinvention: How the “D” in divorce can stand for “Do-Over” rather than “Drama” or “Destruction.”

·      Becoming the “Divorce Journalist:” What (in addition to a rough divorce of her own) inspired Ilyssa to do her homework and become an expert on the subject.

·      Communicating Shared Information: About the pragmatic roadmap Ilyssa brings to listeners, viewers and readers navigating all aspects of divorce.

·      Roadblocks Ilyssa Had to Surmount in the Divorce Process:

o  Ignorance of the broad nature (and consequences) of domestic violence.

o  Cluelessness about all things financial planning and management.

o  False starts with attorneys whose services weren’t a good fit.

o  Pandemic uncertainty.

·      Surviving & Thriving: Why Ilyssa was determined to demonstrate that she could bounce back and prevail over any adversity, especially as a model for her children.

·      Support Systems: About the importance of plugging into people who offer nonjudgmental camaraderie, humor, info and a variety of viewpoints. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!

·      Looking Back: A worthy exercise if it prevents a repeat of past stumbles or regrets.

·      Embracing the Past: Ilyssa believes it’s important – especially for children – to recognize that even marriages that dissolve were once founded in love.

·      Moving Forward: If your relationship didn’t work out or you weren’t the priority you should have been, then it’s time to start afresh and find the relationship you deserve.

·      Words to Live By While Divorcing: #Survive & Thrive – #Build Back Better!

·      Word to the Wise: If You’re Going to Date Anyone, Date Yourself:

o  Make a profile just for you!

o  Do fun little things just for yourself.

o  Take moments to indulge.

o  Cultivate deeper self-understanding.

o  Journal thoughts.

o  Rediscover who you are at your core (not as a friend, partner, parent).

·      Dating Advice: Focus on exploring what you want and need as part of a holistic process that will set you up to meet people in a place of maturity and readiness.

·      Reasons Dating After 40 or 50 is Great:

o  You’ve already done the big milestone wedding.

o  You’ve likely already had your kids.

o  You’re established in your life, career and priorities.

o  You’ve earned self-confidence – and that’s attractive!

·      Timing is Everything: There’s no rush! Take the pressure off and while waiting for the right person to come along, make yourself the kind of person who will attract them.

·      Top Three Tips for Women in the Midst of Divorce:

#1: Remember that your divorce is NOT the grand finale. You’re just about to start a whole new act in the play that is your life.

#2: Ask hard questions: What do I truly want? Look at the whole big picture!

#3: Take stock of lessons learned in the marriage and what you choose to leave behind or avoid going into future relationships. 

NOTABLE QUOTES:

·      “Divorce is really just your intermission. The first act of your life may be done, but we have yet to see what’s going to play out.” (Ilyssa)

·      “Divorce is really all about mindset and if you are determined to say, ‘I want all these great new beginnings’ … it’s such a great opportunity.” (Ilyssa)

·      “I didn’t realize that domestic violence can happen to anyone. It’s not just physical, it’s emotional and mental. It’s stalking, religious, financial, sexual, so many things.” (Ilyssa)

·      “Watching your life go up in smoke is gut-wrenching and you’ve got to stay strong, especially when you’re that mom or that stable parent.” (Ilyssa)

·      “You’re going to feel so different as an individual (post-divorce). I think women develop more confidence, are happier, feel more at peace and start liking themselves better.” (Ilyssa)

·      “One thing I’m very firm about is don’t go from your divorce quickly into another relationship without learning about yourself first.” (Beverly)

·      “The beauty of age is that it gives you those experiences and makes for more stimulating conversation!” (Ilyssa)

·      “If people stop putting all these rushes on things, trying to fill a void they feel is created by what’s no longer there, the results (of dating) will be a lot more positive.” (Ilyssa)

A Warm Shoutout To Our Amazing Sponsor:

SOBERLINK

As parents, we often have gut feelings when something just isn’t right. 

This can be especially true in co-parenting arrangements where one parent is struggling with addiction. 

If you’re co-parenting with an ex-spouse who abuses alcohol, Soberlink can help. 

Soberlink’s alcohol monitoring system is the most convenient, reliable, and reasonable way for a parent to provide evidence that they are not drinking during parenting time. 

The system’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent. 

With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and your kids are able to maintain healthy relationships with BOTH parents.

HER EMPOWERED DIVORCE

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Leslie Urbas, Registered Dietician and Personal Trainer

SUMMARY:

The research is clear: Divorce can take a very real toll on our mental and physical health. But we don’t have to let it! Our guest on this episode of Her Empowered Divorce is offering up tools to fight back against everything from depression to weight gain to high blood pressure. Leslie Urbas, a registered dietician and personal trainer, brings to life both the art and science behind holistic wellness. She shares with Host Beverly Price the foundational elements of her four key pillars of health (nutrition, clean food energy, neuroscience and energy mastery) and offers some great practical tips to deploy when things feel overwhelming. You’ll come away with new insights into what you’re ingesting and how it’s impacting your performance; how to introduce body awareness and other techniques; and why it’s so important to stay mindful, grounded in the present moment and connected to others as we navigate challenging passages in life. Divorce, of course, being among the most challenging! This discussion will leave you with great resources to tap in order to protect your health, generate energy and foster calm through even the toughest moments – and on your way to brighter days!

o  Learning to use the word “no” to clearly, definitively set boundaries.

·      Word to the Wise: Artificial sweeteners lodge in our intestinal systems and cause all kinds of stomach upset and other woes. Good to avoid!

·      The Truth About Sugar and Caffeine: Far from energizing us, research indicates that these substances (after a short initial burst) actually slow us down.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

·      “There is such an implication of poor health for women in the divorce process – before, during and after.” (Beverly)

·      “Self-care tends to be such an over-used word, yet so absolutely important because when women get into the divorce process, overwhelm is the absolute total experience.” (Beverly)

·      “Most women in a divorce phase or doing things alone have a schedule … but when we get overwhelmed is when we know we should have said ‘no’ but didn’t.” (Leslie)

 ·      “Our life source is water. It’s not food … So if you’re continually hydrating yourself and bringing yourself back to water, that’s helpful.” (Leslie)

·      “Look for companionship in something that is not potentially going to lead to more so that you can just have good, solid relationships.” (Leslie)

·      “I hear birds more often than I hear other things. I know how to slow down and be present. I know how to stay in the moment instead of in the worry or doubt or fear.” (Leslie)

·      “Moving from pain and shame is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself and a divorce coach can help!” (Beverly)
