March 06, 2023Changing Outcomes for Alienated and Estranged Parents with Coach and Filmmaker, Ginger Gentile on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #290
This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes back Ginger Gentile as she shares her tried and true tips for alienated and estranged parents.
Parental alienation is a silent epidemic affecting families all over the United States (and beyond). Whatever term you choose to use to describe it - parental alienation, estrangement, or parental interference - emotions of alienated and estranged parents are fraught with fear. Often, the experience can be isolating. Parents feel as though there is no recovery, no coming back from this, or they simply don’t know what to do.

In this episode, Ginger Gentile joins Susan to help parents work to reunite with their children after divorce or separation. Together they discuss specific ways to manage emotions and behaviors that will eventually create lasting change and work to heal alienated parents’ relationships with their children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
Communication is at the core of how you start reversing parental alienation.
The importance of emotionally detaching and establishing a brief, informative, friendly, but firm communication with the co-parent
Why earlier intervention can lead to better outcomes
Focus on your behavior changes and yourself instead of your children's or ex's behavior
“Changes must come from within. It takes time and work.”
****************************************
About this week's special guest: Ginger Gentile
Ginger Gentile is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Her first film on this topic, ERASING DAD, was filmed in Argentina and resulted in joint-custody legislation being enacted. Her latest film, ERASING FAMILY, currently streaming on all major platforms, exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives. This problem affects 22 million families in the US alone.
In her time serving as the Executive Director of the National Parents Organization in 2019, she added six new state affiliates and garnered national press attention for the Shared Parenting Report Card. Now, she is coaching parents suffering from parental alienation to help them reunite with their erased children GingerGentile.com/consulting
Her program for replicating the success of reunited families will soon be a podcast, course, and book.

February 27, 2023The Map to Conscious Parenting with NY Times Best-Selling Author, Dr. Shefali on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #289
This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes NY Times Best-Selling Author Dr. Shefali as she shares insights from her newest book, “The Parenting Map”
Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist and NY Times best-selling author of three books, including Conscious Parenting and The Awakened Family. She joins Susan to discuss her latest book, The Parenting Map, and the importance of integrating all aspects of ourselves into our parenting.
You’ll also hear why Dr. Shefali emphasizes the need for parents to work on themselves to support their children fully. The conversation touches on the impact of social media on children's development and the importance of being present and attentive as a parent in a world filled with constant stimulation and comparison.
Dr. Shefali offers insight and practical advice on how to best navigate conscious parenting and create deeper connections with our children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
Why parents must take responsibility for their growth and transformation to become conscious parents. The focus of parenting needs to be on the PARENT.
A perspective shift for parents to focus on their children's relationship with activities rather than their attachment to the outcome
The importance of integrating our shadow elements and not shaming our children for theirs
The impact of screens and social media on children's development includes a lack of ability to tolerate frustration, decreased attention span, and disconnection from reality and their own feelings.

February 20, 2023From Grief to Joy: What Happens When Adele Crashes Your Divorce Party with Rebecca Feinglos on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #288
This week on the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes Rebecca Feinglos as she shares her story of overcoming grief following her divorce and the iconic moment when Adele crashed her Las Vegas Divorce Party. You won’t want to miss this episode!
Grief is a messy and complicated emotion. And while that is the focal point of this episode, it will be one of the happiest episodes you will hear! After the death of her father in 2020 and her marriage ending, Rebecca Feinglos found herself overwhelmed by grief. So, in 2021, she founded Grieve Leave to document and share her journey and help others navigate their grief with humor and compassion.
In this episode, Susan and Rebecca discuss the importance of acknowledging grief and how to navigate it with self-compassion. When we see that grieving doesn’t only have to be about crying - we can move forward, find joy, and even celebrate it too.
Rebecca Feinglos blogs her personal experiences and shares tangible resources and actionable tips for dealing with relationship grief and divorce (with a healthy dose of humor baked in). Most recently, Rebecca went viral for throwing a “divorce party” in Vegas and bringing Adele to tears on stage.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
Susan and Rebecca explore the common misconception that grief comes only with death - we grieve all kinds of losses in our lives
How to intentionally grieve after a divorce, and why is it essential to do so
Why we need to stop using the phrase “failed marriage” when we talk about divorce
There will never be a divorce party quite like Rebecca’s divorce party!
How Rebecca is bringing others together through the Grieve Leave community
****************************************
About this week's special guest: Rebecca Feinglos
Rebecca Feinglos is a grief educator, advocate, and the founder of online blog and digital community Grieve Leave. After ending her marriage during the fallout of her parents’ deaths, Rebecca quit her job to take a year-long sabbatical to grieve, founding Grieve Leave as an outlet to document her own journey with grief. The Grieve Leave community has grown to one of thousands, where Rebecca blogs her personal experiences and shares tangible resources and actionable tips for dealing with relationship grief and divorce (with a healthy dose of humor baked in).
Rebecca can be found on social media @rfeinglos.
You can keep up with her Grieve Leave journey at www.GrieveLeave.com.

February 13, 2023When Valentine’s Day Sucks and How to Survive it with Intuitive Healer, Holly Hughes on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #287
This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Intuitive Healer Holly Hughes! Listen in to hear the antidote to the Valentine’s Day blues and how to manage the unrealistic expectations of the Hallmark Holiday!
Valentine’s Day can be hard when you are going through a divorce. In this episode, Susan Guthrie and Holly Hughes discuss tactical ways and tips to honor your feelings and not fall victim to the commercialism or beliefs of what the holiday should or needs to be about.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
Why Holly and Susan are NOT wearing red for this Valentine’s Day-focused episode
Create your very own love note jar for YOURSELF
Love is lost in the commercialism of Valentine’s Day, instead of love from a partner focus on things you love (your children, art, music, etc.)
Allow yourself to feel your feelings, wallow in them in fact. Then pull yourself out of that space and you’ll feel a sense of relief
“In order to feel and receive love, you have to have it for yourself first.”
Why it is so important to listen to your inner voice and start recognizing what love actually feels like for you
Joy is love. Bring some joy into your life today
