In this episode, host Mardi Winder sits down with acclaimed clinical psychologist and coach, Dr. Robin Buckley, to unravel the complexities of divorce through a different lens; one that’s strategic, goal-driven, and future-focused. Dr. Robin Buckley shares how her journey from clinical therapy to coaching opened up new possibilities for helping people proactively address challenges in their relationships. Unlike therapy, which looks to the past for healing, coaching begins in the present, guiding individuals towards their desired futures.

Together, Mardi and Dr. Robin discuss why this approach can make a powerful difference, especially for those navigating the emotional storm and decision-making hurdles of a divorce. Through personal anecdotes, practical advice, and candid stories, they reveal the importance of controlling our brains’ reactions to stress, prioritizing strategic thinking over impulsive responses, and defining clear outcomes for the divorce process.

The conversation deep-dives into the concept of mission statements for couples, helping to align intentions and minimize conflict, whether the goal is effective co-parenting, maintaining a respectful friendship, or simply parting ways as amicably as possible. This episode is not just for those experiencing divorce but also for coaches, therapists, and anyone seeking healthier paths through relationship transitions. Discover why goal-focused divorce is about more than ending a marriage, it’s about shaping what comes next with clarity, purpose, and resilience.
