The Art of Pre-Selling

What if your coaching business could be up and running before summer ends?

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm walking you through the exact 30-day launch plan I teach my own clients inside ReNewU—because yes, it's absolutely possible to start your business in a month (even with a job, kids, and fear in the mix). If you've been stuck in the "planning" phase forever—downloading freebies, watching webinars, and second-guessing your every move—I want to show you how simple it can actually be when you follow a clear, focused roadmap. You don't need a website, a logo, or a million followers. You need a niche, an offer, and a willingness to take messy action. And that's exactly what we're covering in this episode.

What if the biggest co-parenting battle you're fighting…isn't with your ex, but with your own ego?

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with the brilliant Michelle Dempsey-Multack—certified divorce and co-parenting specialist, podcast host, and author—for a raw, honest conversation about what putting your kids first actually looks like. We talk about the reality of co-parenting with someone who triggers you, how to quiet your ego when your child says they miss the other parent, and why being flexible is sometimes more important than being "fair." We also dive into the overuse of the word "narcissist," the self-awareness it takes to stop projecting pain onto your kids, and why your feelings don't always need to lead the way.

If you've been navigating high-conflict co-parenting, feeling resentful, or struggling with the emotional weight of it all, this episode is for you.

What if your healing after divorce didn't just come through talk therapy but through something deeper, more embodied, and even a little unconventional?

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by Keith Kurlander, co-founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and one of the country's leading voices in integrative and psychedelic therapy. We talk about how trauma from divorce and other life ruptures gets stuck in the nervous system, why it continues to show up years later (even when you've "moved on"), and what to do when you feel stuck in an emotional loop you can't talk your way out of.

What We Discuss:

• Keith's background and the connection between trauma, divorce, and mental health

• Why trauma lives in the nervous system and resurfaces in unexpected ways

• Grief triggers, emotional flashbacks, and how to begin shifting out of them

• Somatic regulation, breathwork, and nervous system first aid

• Curiosity over judgment: how to respond when trauma resurfaces

• What psychedelic therapy is and what it isn't

• Who is a good candidate for psychedelic therapy

• How to find a safe and legit practitioner

Key Takeaways:

"You can't think your way out of trauma that lives in your body." – Keith Kurlander

"Psychedelic therapy isn't about escaping—it's about reconnecting with yourself." – Keith Kurlander

"When the nervous system doesn't feel safe, no amount of logic will move you forward." – Keith Kurlander
