Anger is a natural part of divorce, but what if it’s not something to suppress or fear, but a tool for healing? This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes psychotherapist, speaker, and author Bronwyn Schweigerdt, host of Angry at the Right Things to speak about why anger is actually a good thing. In fact, Bronwyn believes anger isn’t a problem to fix but a guide leading us toward clarity, boundaries, and emotional freedom.

In this episode, Bronwyn helps us reframe our relationship with anger and how suppressing it can fuel anxiety, depression, and even physical illness. She also shares practical techniques, like the ‘fantasy letter’ exercise, to process anger in a healthy way. 

If you’ve ever struggled with anger, your own or an ex’s, we hope this conversation will help you rethink anger and maybe even embrace it as a force for good.  Anger can be a tool for healing and self-trust.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

Her approach to anger is powerful, provocative, and life-changing.

Co-parenting is never easy, but when high stakes are involved—whether due to legal complexities, a history of domestic violence, or deep-seated conflict—it becomes even more challenging. Navigating these situations requires a unique blend of legal expertise and emotional intelligence, and that’s exactly what today’s guest, Robin Sax, brings to the table.

Robin is both an attorney and a clinical therapist, with over 15 years as a prosecutor specializing in domestic violence and child advocacy. Now, she dedicates her career to helping families navigate high-conflict co-parenting situations with a focus on resolution and stability.

In this episode, Robin shares her behind-the-scenes experiences working on some of the toughest co-parenting cases. She offers invaluable insights into the mistakes parents often make in high-conflict situations and how to avoid them. She also breaks down the critical role of communication, revealing common pitfalls and offering practical strategies to foster a healthier co-parenting relationship—even when tensions run high.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

More About Our Special Guest, Robin Sax: Robin Sax is both an attorney and a clinical therapist, offering a truly one-of-a-kind practice that seamlessly blends legal and therapeutic skills. While her legal practice primarily focuses on the criminal justice system, Dear Co-Parent is where Robin’s distinctive approach shines.

Through Dear Co-Parent, Robin serves as a co-parenting therapist, behind-the-scenes coach, mediator, and parenting plan coordinator, helping families navigate high-conflict situations with both legal precision and therapeutic insight. Many professionals transition from law to therapy or vice versa, but Robin uniquely integrates both disciplines at once, providing a holistic, solution-oriented approach to co-parenting challenges.

Robin’s expertise is rooted in more than 15 years as a prosecutor, specializing in domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and stalking. This background gives her a deep understanding of family dynamics, conflict resolution, and the legal complexities that often entangle co-parents. With Dear Co-Parent, Robin doesn’t just mediate—she strategically guides parents toward healthier communication, effective decisionmaking, and sustainable parenting solutions.

Her approach is not just about agreements—it’s about outcomes that truly serve children and families.

Susan Guthrie welcomes Charmaine Panko, a King’s Counsel, collaborative lawyer, mediator, arbitrator, and trainer based in Saskatchewan, Canada. Charmaine specializes in helping families navigate separation in a way that preserves relationships, protects children, and creates a strong foundation for the future.

This conversation explores how customized divorce agreements empower individuals to take control, protect their legacy, and prioritize their family’s unique needs. From high-net-worth cases to complex family dynamics, Charmaine shares strategies for making informed decisions that align with personal values.

More About Our Special Guest, Charmaine Panko: Charmaine Panko is King's Counsel, a collaborative lawyer, mediator, arbitrator and trainer based in Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Canada.

She also seeks to empower other professionals who work with families to use non-adversarial approaches that have a future focus and recognize that separation is simply a reconfiguration of the family system - it doesn't mean the family is broken.

Going through a divorce is tough, and self-care can easily get overlooked. Something that helped me was creating a cozy space to relax.

I found Parachute Home—bedding and home goods that bring real comfort. Imagine ending your day wrapped in the softest sheets or a warm blanket.

If you're looking to add a bit of peace to your home, visit divorcebeyond.com/parachute. When you shop through my link, it supports the podcast, and I appreciate it.
