Life often throws curveballs that leave us feeling overwhelmed or trapped - especially during challenging times like divorce. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Dr. Carrie Johansson, a psychologist and author affectionately known as "The Sensible Psychologist," introduces a powerful yet simple framework that will shift you out of the "Drama Triangle" so you can reclaim your life. 

Throughout this podcast episode, Dr. Johansson reveals practical tools that allow you to honestly assess your situation without judgment and finally break free from the cycle of avoidance that’s keeping you stuck. She also highlights the crucial mindset shift that will help you stop waiting for motivation and move forward into action.

Dr. Johansson also challenges conventional wisdom about relationships, suggesting that collaboration - NOT compromise - leads to healthier partnerships. By changing predictable conflict patterns and accepting that some disagreements may never be fully resolved, couples can move from resentment to understanding, creating relationships that feel less like work and more like joy.

Dr. Johansson’s straightforward yet compassionate approach helps you discover your "next best move" in any situation, guiding you toward the outcomes you truly desire.

Fondly known as The Sensible Psychologist, she works with teams, corporate audiences and dedicated individuals, to build resilience and help them skillfully navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs.

Imagine discovering that your once-loving adult child has suddenly become a stranger, cutting you off from their life and your grandchildren over seemingly trivial incidents like giving them a strawberry or a cup of water. Tracy Malone, an international divorce and narcissist abuse survival coach, reveals a disturbing trend of narcissistic alienation of adult children.  This alienation occurs when an adult child's narcissistic partner systematically isolates them from their parents, siblings, and other family members.

The narcissist’s tactics usually follow a calculated pattern, starting with love-bombing the family before marriage, then gradually introducing false allegations and twisted interpretations of normal interactions to drive wedges between parents and their adult child. This psychological manipulation can lead to complete estrangement or seriously limited contact.

What’s worse, the narcissist often “splits” the parents, choosing one who is identified as “bad,” while the other is still allowed contact with their adult child. That strategy  can then create devastating conflict in the parents’ marriage.

If you're navigating the intricacies of parental estrangement or seeking ways to protect your loved ones from narcissistic behavior, this episode offers essential insights and practical survival strategies.

Here's a secret that most employers and government agencies don’t know. An employee’s divorce costs the company or government agency that the employee works for far more than it costs the employee to go through it. That’s especially true in first responder divorce.

Divorcing employees experience a loss of productivity, increased absences, increased distractions, and a higher turnover rate than non-divorcing employees. Since first responders experience divorce at a much higher rate than the general public, this is even more of a problem for them.

Vicky Townsend, a trailblazer in the divorce industry, set out to change all that.

Vicky has created a groundbreaking program that supports employees - particularly first responders - during the tumultuous divorce process. Employees in these programs get access to concierge-level divorce coaching, mediation services, marriage counseling resources, and specialized support for complex situations like religious divorces or high-conflict cases.

The support they receive not only relieves the employee’s anxiety, but it also reduces the financial cost of divorce – both for the employee and the employer.

Vicky is currently focusing this program on first responders whose job-related stress contributes to higher divorce rates and the need for more nuanced divorced guidance.

If you or anyone you know is a first responder, or works for a forward-thinking company, this episode is one that you’ll not only want to listen to, but you’ll want your boss to listen to it as well.

About Vicky

Vicky Townsend is a trailblazing entrepreneur and advocate, dedicated to transforming the divorce process into a kinder, more affordable experience. As the founder of the National Association of Divorce Professionals, Divorce Right, and Fairwell, she has spent over two decades championing solutions that protect families from the financial and emotional toll of divorce. Her recent efforts focus on supporting first responders and military personnel during this challenging life transition. With unwavering commitment, Vicky continues to innovate and lead the charge for a more compassionate divorce industry.

Conventional wisdom says that you shouldn’t leave your marriage until it has completely broken down. But what if that’s not true? What if leaving while you and your spouse still care about each other is the key to having a good divorce?

When her marriage was floundering, Karen McNenny found herself paralyzed by fear. She didn’t want to give up on her marriage if it could be saved. But she didn’t want to wait until she and her ex hated each other before she left.

That’s when she discovered a life-changing truth: leaving while there's still love can lead to a healthier post-divorce relationship than waiting until things completely fall apart.

Karen has now created the "Good Divorce Experience." It's a process that isn’t about winning or losing, but about creating a healthier dynamic for everyone. 

Using her "Good Divorce Process" Karen guides couples to transform what's typically seen as a legal battle into a thoughtful family transition. She works with both partners simultaneously, helping them navigate everything from telling their children about their divorce to creating detailed parenting schedules, all while charging a flat monthly fee to ensure accessibility and open communication.

If you’re looking for a kinder and gentler way to divorce and you and your spouse don’t hate each other already, the “Good Divorce Process” may be just what you need to end your marriage with love.

About Karen 

Karen McNenny is working to change the way families navigate divorce. Divorcing families are starving for better outcomes with less debt, destruction and despair. Through her signature Good Divorce Experience™, Karen utilizes her training as a mediator and divorce coach to guide couples through the legal process of GETTING divorced. More importantly, as a trained therapist and co-parenting specialist, she teaches them HOW TO BE DIVORCED once the ink is dry. The marriage may be over, but where children are involved, the relationship is forever. As a leading voice in the field of human behavior and relationships, Karen ultimately sees herself as a social activist, working towards world peace, one family at a time.

Have you ever felt deeply misunderstood in relationships, yearning for emotional connection and lasting love but unsure how to create either one? That’s exactly what Valerie Greene, relationship mentor and author of The Commitment Roadmap, tackles in this podcast episode.

Growing up in an intellectual household where her parents often dismissed her feelings, Valerie learned to suppress her naturally empathic nature and to operate from her head rather than her heart. When her first marriage fell apart, Valerie started studying various emotional healing modalities in order to reconnect herself with her feelings. In doing so she learned to express her needs without seeming needy and to attract the emotionally available husband to whom she’s currently married. 

Valerie now helps other women to transform their relationships from emotional disconnection to deep intimacy.

In her "MANifest Lasting Love" program she teaches a five-step formula for expressing feelings and needs in ways that inspire rather than alienate potential partners. Through her unique approach to relationships, she guides clients to break free from the cycle of attracting emotionally unavailable partners and instead create the deep, lasting relationships they seek.

Whether you're single, dating, or trying to reignite passion in a long-term relationship, Valerie provides actionable insights into identifying emotional patterns, communicating effectively, and creating the lasting love you long for.
