The D Shift

Today, I have the opportunity to sit down and talk with Stacey Sanderson, a seasoned registered psychotherapist and published author. With over 25 years of experience, Stacey has dedicated her career to helping individuals recover from narcissistic wounding.

In this episode, we discuss the complexities of narcissistic relationships, the impact on mental health, and Stacey's unique, heart-centered approach to regaining power and identity. We also discuss her new book "Heart Wide Open" and explore her five pillars of recovery that provide a holistic road map for healing after difficult relationships.

Stacey's Five Pillars of Recovery framework for healing from narcissistic abuse include:

- Awareness - understanding oneself.

- Knowledge - integrating personal knowledge with an understanding of toxic behaviors.

- Changing Patterns - recognizing and altering early conditioning.

- Energy, Power, and Boundaries - safeguarding one's energy and establishing boundaries.

Welcome back to another episode of The D Shift. I had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Cohen, an accomplished divorce mediator who brings a wealth of experience and a compassionate approach to the table. Michael, who initially started his career as a CPA, has transitioned into a role he's genuinely passionate about, and that is helping parents navigate the often challenging waters of divorce while keeping the focus on minimizing conflict for the sake of their children.

Michael's journey through a challenging, litigation-heavy divorce inspired him to become a mediator, and he's now dedicated to offering a healthier, more amicable path forward for divorcing couples. Throughout our conversation, Michael sheds light on the significant emotional and financial advantages of choosing mediation over litigation. He emphasizes the importance of education and understanding your options as you begin the divorce process and explains how the mediator's role differs fundamentally from that of an attorney.

We explore practical strategies for creating customized parenting schedules that fit your family's unique needs, the value of co-parenting in providing stability for your children, and the emotional benefits of maintaining communication and collaboration with your ex-spouse. Michael also shares his unique approach to mediation, which includes thorough pre-sessions to ensure both parties are informed and comfortable and the importance of being transparent and fair.

Whether you're contemplating divorce or already in the midst of it, this episode is full of insights that could help you navigate your journey with less stress, lower costs, and more clarity. So, grab a seat and join us as we explore how mediation can redefine your divorce experience.

About the Guest:

Michael Cohen is a passionate divorce mediator who cares about his clients and their families, and who is driven to help them divorce in the healthiest way possible to preserve their ability to co-parent effectively and minimize the impact of their divorce on their children.

Michael guides his clients toward healthy financial decisions, and leads his clients through a collaborative process to help them create the healthiest parenting plan for them and their children. Michael earned his CPA while at the University of Illinois, and his Divorce Mediation Certification at Northwestern University.

We've got a practical and motivational episode for you today with an international guest, Helen Raggett, joining us from the UK. Helen's story is a fantastic example of finding your passion and turning it into a way to generate income and help others.

For over 30 years, Helen worked in the corporate IT world, thinking it was her career for life. Life had other plans when she faced redundancy and found herself at a crossroads. Instead of returning to the stressful grind of IT, Helen discovered a new passion: aloe vera based health and wellness products. These products transformed her family's health, particularly helping with her son's severe skin issues, and opened up a new, flexible career path.

Today, Helen helps empower others to take control of their health and finances by building a secondary income stream. We'll chat about her journey from being an IT specialist to an entrepreneur, the challenges and rewards of starting over, and the importance of having a passion for your work.

We'll also discuss the practical aspects of running a side hustle, finding financial freedom, and why health is truly wealth, especially in today's economy. Helen's insights on balancing family and career are invaluable, and you'll love hearing her tips on personal development and gaining confidence.

About the Guest:

Helen Raggett

I worked in IT since the 70's for over 30 years until she was made redundant. Luckily, I was introduced years before to aloe vera due to my son's skin issues. I love the products, like the company and the flexibility of working from home, so I decide to get involved as I didn't want to get back to IT. Now over 2 decades later, at a retirement age, I like to empower people to take control of their health and their financial futures. With the high cost of living, we offer an opportunity for people to build a secondary income alongside their commitments. Prevention is better than care, it's better to have multiple forms of income than to put all eggs in one basket.
