Mistakes We Make During Divorce: A Transformational Conversation

With Hosts Steve Peck and Deborah Moskovich

Introducing a Landmark Episode in Divorce Education

In this milestone conversation from Divorce Source Radio, hosts Steve Peck and Deborah Moskovich—the visionary behind The Smart Divorce—dive into the often-unspoken realities of separation and the most common, yet avoidable, missteps people make along the way. This episode marks a pivotal chapter in the journey toward a more compassionate, informed approach to divorce. It stands as a powerful forerunner to the Soft Landing Podcast, setting the tone for future dialogues centered on resilience, clarity, and healing.

Key Storylines and Unique Angles

The underestimated emotional and physical toll of divorce—and how to protect your well-being.

The first mistake most people make: not doing the internal work to assess if the marriage is truly over.

The financial blind spots that can derail your future and how to prepare before legal proceedings.

Why a peaceful process (mediation, collaboration) leads to better outcomes for both parents and children.

The silent suffering of children—from toddlers to adults—and how to truly put their needs first.

Why This Episode Matters

This is more than a podcast—it's a wake-up call and a lifeline. With empathy, honesty, and personal reflection, Steve and Deborah invite listeners to slow down, get informed, and redefine divorce as an opportunity for personal growth rather than a legal catastrophe.
