The D Shift

Today, I have the pleasure of having a conversation with Randy Rolfe, who shares her vast knowledge about nutrition and family wellness. Randy shares how stress often pushes us to ignore healthy eating, leading us to choose fast foods and snacks instead. She emphasizes that while it might seem easier in stressful times, opting for nutritious meals is key to managing stress and keeping our minds and bodies feeling their best.

Randy's background is as interesting as it is diverse, starting as a lawyer before turning her skills to nutrition and family counseling. Her journey began in law school when she became curious about what we eat and its effects on our health. Eventually, she transitioned from law to focusing on education, helping others understand the impact of nutrition on their lives. In the podcast, Randy debunks a few common food myths, like the idea that exercising more than focusing on diet will tackle obesity or that fats are the main culprits for weight gain.

A focal point of the discussion is Randy's latest book, which champions the idea of sticking to single-ingredient foods. This approach is all about cutting out processed foods and embracing whole foods that don’t need a lengthy ingredient list. Not only can this shift help break the cycle of cravings for processed snacks, but it also fosters a healthier lifestyle. Randy’s insights are particularly valuable for parents, including those navigating the challenges of divorce, as teaching kids about healthy eating habits is crucial.

For those who want more information, Randy offers great resources on her website, including a chance for a free coaching session, helping listeners to take practical steps toward better nutrition. We wrap up the episode by encouraging everyone to reflect on their food choices and how those decisions can significantly impact overall health and well-being. This episode is packed with actionable advice and is a great listen for anyone looking to improve their eating habits and nurture a healthier lifestyle.

About the Guest:

Randy Rolfe is a veteran speaker on nutrition, parenting, and life skills. Also a lawyer and family counselor, she is author of nine acclaimed books, most recently The Single Ingredient Diet: Transform Your Relationship to Food in Just 21 Days.

She has appeared on over 50 TV network talk shows, and 100s of radio shows and podcasts. A natural health advocate and family counselor for five decades, Randy brings her message to the next generation so that they can take control of their health and lead vibrant lives.

In this episode, I chat with Mike Fink, a decision-making expert who's made it his mission to help women figure out their next steps when considering divorce. With an impressive background, including a master's in psychology from Yale, Mike dives into the backstory that led him to focus on this field, including a rocky business partnership that taught him the ins and outs of indecision.

Mike breaks down the brain science behind decision-making, explaining how our survival instincts can keep us stuck on tough choices. He introduces us to the concept of the three brains: our primal brain for survival, our emotional brain, and our logical brain. It's the primal brain that often stalls us, fending off change in the name of safety.

He gets into the nuts and bolts of his process, which includes "value mapping," where you pinpoint what really matters in your relationship. It’s all about giving the primal brain a visual nudge with colorful cues so it can "see" the logic it's missing. Mike shares how this approach leads to clarity and a sense of peace, helping people decide their path without lingering doubts.

For anyone caught in the emotional whirlwind of divorce decisions, Mike's approach offers straightforward tools to make choices that align with what you truly want. It's about getting clear, confident, and comfortable with whatever step you choose to take next.

About the Guest:

Mike Fink is a clarity and decision-making expert, coach, and innovator. With a Master of Science in Psychology from Yale, he helps women considering divorce who are stuck in indecision, fearing they’ll make a mistake they’ll regret. During the first part of his career in personal development, spanning more than two decades, Mike’s programs helped more than 110,000 people across 157 countries achieve life-changing goals.

Following a painful turning point, he created The Decoding Grid™, a revolutionary process for high-stakes decision-making. Since 2021, he has dedicated himself to helping women get absolute Clarity & Certainty about their marriage in 30 days or less. Mike is the author of Divorce Decision Decoded: The Revolutionary Guide for Women to Get Clarity & Certainty in 30 Days.

Welcome back to The D Shift: Redefining Divorce And Beyond! In today's episode, I have a great conversation with Brynn Ungerleider, a seasoned professional in the nannying and household management field with over twenty years of experience. Brynn has created a phenomenal resource through her national agency, Premier Nanny Network, which provides invaluable support to those navigating the complexities of divorce.

Join us as Brynn shares her journey from a young babysitter to the founder of a nationwide network that offers nanny services, elder care, and household management. She talks about the many ways nannies can alleviate stress for single parents, providing consistent care and aiding in smoother transitions for children between households. Brynn offers insights into how reliable, professional help can transform a household, offering parents the freedom to spend quality time with their children while ensuring that all the mundane tasks are handled seamlessly.

Whether you’re a single parent or guiding someone through a divorce, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice. Don't miss out on learning how asking for help isn't just okay, but can significantly enhance your and your children's lives. Tune in and explore how Premier Nanny Network can be a vital support system during these challenging transitions.

About the Guest:

Hi, I'm Brynn Ungerleider. I started babysitting so I could afford to buy CDs at the mall—talk about aging myself! What began as a fun way to earn cash soon turned into a 20+ year career in nannying and household management. I realized nannying is about providing enrichment, coaching children, and supporting families through life’s ups and downs. I help kids recognize their potential, often reminding them, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way,’ while also guiding parents to stay grounded when challenges arise. Helping others has always been my purpose. From my first babysitting gig to working with families across the country, I’ve supported parents through both the joys and the chaos of home life. With over two decades of experience, I created this agency with career-driven mothers, divorced families, and everyone in-between in mind. Someday, I too hope the love and support I’ve given will come full circle when I juggle motherhood and my career.

In this episode I sit down with Susan Butler to chat about something that comes up a lot in divorce, and that is money. Susan offers a range of experience and expertise, with over thirty years as a financial adviser and now helping women master their finances. She's all about empowering women, especially those going through divorce or big life changes, to take control of their financial futures.

Susan opens up about her experiences, like seeing women surprised by how little they knew about their family finances when divorce hits. She talks about how crucial it is for women to ask questions and get the right advice during such a chaotic time. We both agree: don't be afraid to pause and dig deeper into your finances to make sure you come out stronger on the other side.

But it’s not just about getting through a divorce. Susan really focuses on helping women reinvent themselves once the dust settles. Whether it’s going back to school or starting something new, she’s all about helping women dream big and make it happen. Susan reminds everyone that managing your money is a big part of shaping the life you love.

This is an essential episode for parents of teens, particularly teen daughters. I have the privilege of talking with Nellie Harden, who brings a fresh perspective on building strong family connections, especially with teens during tough times like divorce. Nellie, a mom to four daughters and a trauma survivor, discusses how important it is to boost self-worth and confidence in young women. She shares her story of moving from chasing worth to becoming a coach, using these experiences to help families communicate better and lead with heart.

Nellie talks about the big shift in parenting as kids grow, from needing to guide every step to building life together. She’s big on making sure teens feel seen, heard, loved, and know they matter. Offering practical tips, she encourages parents to avoid power struggles and work together as a team, treating the family as a whole unit working towards a bright future. She emphasizes the magic of one-on-one time to build trust and keep communication open and honest.

For parents going through divorce, Nellie has some great advice on how to keep personal struggles separate from what you share with your kids. It’s about being real without getting into the nitty-gritty, ensuring the focus stays on constructive and positive interactions.

Tune in to hear how fostering vulnerability, curiosity, and genuine connection in conversations can bolster a teenager’s self-worth and strengthen family ties, giving everyone a better shot at navigating life’s ups and downs.

In this episode of The D Shift, I have the privilege to welcome Dr. Becky Whetstone, a marriage and family therapist who brings a wealth of personal and professional insights into managing marital crises. Known for her candid approach, Becky’s unique perspective is shaped by her own experiences, having been married four times, and her dedicated research to understanding what makes or breaks a marriage.

Dr. Becky talks about her new book, "I Think I Want Out – What to Do When One of You Wants to End Your Marriage," which is aimed at helping individuals navigate the rocky path from doubt to decision with clarity and confidence. She shares insights into how crucial the initial response is when one partner expresses doubt about the marriage. This response can set the tone for how amicably— or not— things might proceed.

In our discussion, we explore fundamental questions that troubled couples should consider along with the typical stages a deteriorating marriage might go through. Becky's approach is about slowing down, considering all options, and sometimes exploring trial separations to test the waters before making any permanent decisions.

We talk about how vital it is to have a managed process during these times, emphasizing the value of therapy in maintaining civility and focusing on mental wellness for the entire family. Becky's goal is to guide couples through this transformation with the least possible emotional damage, whether they choose to work on their marriage or part ways.

For anyone standing at the crossroads of potentially ending a marriage, this episode is full of, relatable advice and insightful strategies to thoughtfully tackle one of life’s more challenging transitions.

Inspired by her own marriage crisis, Dr. Whetstone created tools to help couples navigate turmoil. A former journalist, she has authored the book, “I (Think) I Want Out”, aiming to reduce marital chaos and foster healthy relationships.

Today I welcome back Lori Danecke, a dynamic coach skilled in NLP, quantum release process, hypnotherapy, and Reiki. Lori's got an inspiring story about how her life did a 180 when she realized she wasn't living the way she wanted to. Even though on the surface she had the perfect setup—a marriage, kids, and grandkids—something was missing. Three years ago, she dove into personal development, getting herself a coach, setting goals, and ultimately finding the courage to walk away from a life that wasn't making her happy.

Lori talks about how this journey started rather unexpectedly with her wanting to improve her golf game. That drive opened up a whole new realization about how she was relying too much on external achievements for happiness. Once she started focusing on her mindset, things turned around. Now, she helps other women who feel stuck or unheard to recognize their worth and step up their game in life.

We chat about the fear of change—how people often worry about losing friends if they grow and change. But Lori highlights that real friends will back you up no matter what. She’s all about expanding comfort zones gradually, so it feels natural rather than terrifying. This episode is a reassuring reminder that it’s okay to want more from life and to take the steps toward living authentically and happily.

About the Guest:

As the Creator and CEO of Impact Your Life Coaching, Lori specializes in guiding individuals to break free from limiting beliefs and unlock their full potential.

In this episode, I chat with Mara Palermo, a relationship coach who’s all about helping people understand attachment styles and how they affect our relationships. Mara shares how we connected with our caregivers when we were little shapes how we act in adult relationships. She shares her own story, from working as a stylist and listening to clients’ relationship woes to becoming a relationship coach after realizing that the relationship patterns she and others experienced weren’t all that different.

Mara breaks down the four main attachment styles: anxious, avoidant, fearful, and secure. She explains how people with an anxious attachment style might constantly seek reassurance in relationships, while those with an avoidant attachment value their independence above all. The fearful type combines both, pushing and pulling in relationships, which can make trusting others tricky. On the other hand, a secure attachment means being more balanced and open in relationships.

What’s important about her story is that Mara has lived through these patterns herself, and now she helps others move towards healthier and more secure attachments. She talks about how important it is to build a solid relationship with yourself first and offers some tips on self-soothing and understanding the stories we tell ourselves in relationships.

Mara offers a fun quiz to help you learn your attachment style if you're curious about where you stand. Her approachable and insightful advice is a reminder that everyone can work towards better relationships and personal growth at any point in life.

About the Guest:

Mara Palermo is a relationship coach specializing in helping high-achievers break free from anxious and avoidant attachment patterns to create secure, healthy, and fulfilling relationships. With a signature framework focused on identity, balance, communication, boundaries, and intimacy, Mara guides clients toward deep self-awareness and emotional freedom.

In this episode, I have the opportunity to welcome real estate experts Robyn Yack and Cheryl Koffman from Ontario, Canada. Together, they share their specialized experiences assisting clients in navigating the complexities of selling matrimonial property during divorce or separation. Robyn discusses her journey through separation and the pivotal moment she decided to support others experiencing similar life changes. Cheryl offers her perspective from years of working with families affected by divorce to help focus on the child's point of view through this part of the divorce process.

Throughout the discussion, Robyn and Cheryl emphasize the importance of dealing with various challenges in the selling process, such as agreeing on the listing price, understanding legal stipulations in your area, and collaborating with legal and financial professionals. Their dual expertise is highlighted as they explain how they act not only as realtors but as guides through this emotional and logistical labyrinth.

Listeners are reminded of the various issues to consider when navigating a property sale during a divorce, including the necessity of a separation agreement and the implications of common law vs. marriage in real estate transactions. Cheryl and Robyn underline the value of engaging professionals who specialize in divorce-related issues to ensure the best outcomes.

The conversation wraps up with a mention of their collaborative book, "The Ultimate Divorce Game Plan," designed to provide holistic guidance through the divorce process. This episode is an invaluable resource for those seeking insight and support in managing what may be the most significant asset amidst the life-altering journey of divorce.

About the Guests:

Cheryl Koffman and Robyn Yack are Real Estate Agents with a twist! Besides doing their regular residential and commercial transactions, they also uniquely specialize in helping clients, who are going through a divorce or separation, sell their matrimonial home. Robyn's own difficult divorce situation and Cheryl’s time spent as a teacher/co-owner of private schools, where she encountered many families navigating through divorce, propelled us to want to help others going through this emotional, turbulent and life changing event. Our personal and professional experiences are what have made us able to provide the extra understanding and guidance that people need through their own divorce and separation.

This is the third and final podcast in the series of interviews with authors of “The Other Side of Divorce: Breakups That Lead to Breakthroughs”. Today, I speak with Dinalynn Rosenbush, Jasmina Egelnor, Alana Sharps, Christine Synnott, and Lesley Evans. We explore why they contributed to the book, the lessons they learned through their divorce, and the words of wisdom they would like to share with other women at any stage of the divorce process.

Tune in to hear from the authors, consider a different way to experience divorce, and why sharing how divorce can positively impact your life is so important.
