September 29, 2021 Everything You Need to Know About Divorce in a First Responder Family, with Attorney and Mediator Susan Guthrie
In the US, a little over 50% of marriages end in divorce. In a first responder family, that number spikes to 60-70%. Figuring out a co-parenting schedule when you work a 9-5 job is hard enough as it is, but when you factor in the schedule of a first responder parent, things can get even trickier.
But don't worry - there are ways to design a parenting plan in a first responder family that will give your kids the consistency they deserve, our guest Susan Guthrie shares, and it starts with building flexibility into your plan.
The tips Susan shares in this episode are incredible, and can be applied to all parenting plans as well.

September 15, 2021 How to Leave Your Marriage When You Are a Stay-at-Home Mom and Worried About Your Financial Future
It seems impossible, right? The thought of leaving your marriage even though you haven't worked outside of the home in ages and have no financial security of your own.
What if I told you that it wasn't impossible and that you didn't have to be like the many people who choose a life of unhappiness out of fear that there is just no other way?
There is always another way.
In my podcast with Bill Farias of Farias Family Law in Massachusetts, we discus the fact that there are many possibilities for a woman to leave an unhappy or potentially dangerous marriage despite her financial position.
Attorney Bill Farias is the firm’s founder and managing attorney. His focus is on family law, and mainly divorce, custody and support matters.
He chose family law because it provides an opportunity to help people who are at a low point in life. He loves that people come to him in the darkest of times, and that he has the chance to not only get them through it, but to actually turn their circumstances into a positive experience. That’s what this firm aims for in every case, both in terms of the quality of the legal work and the client service.
Before law school, Bill was a case manager at the Department of Children & Families in MA. This experience allowed him to work closely with families, and required work on issues of custody, mental health, substance abuse, medical care, schooling, domestic violence and other issues that are typically addressed in divorce and custody cases.
Bill dedicated the early part of his career to building litigation skills. He worked as an assistant district attorney and tried a number of cases before juries and judges. When there are contested issues in family law, it’s important that the attorney has the skill, experience and courage to push the client’s position.
For fun, Bill likes to read and to travel with his wife Kenia, and two little girls, Gabriella and Emma. They have a golden-doodle Allie and a shi-tzu mix Teddy. Bill grew up playing hockey and volleyball, but now he’s too old and slow, and gets sore easily, so he stopped. He now channels his competitive drive toward litigation.
Bill’s obsessed with building a firm that combines top-quality legal representation and elite client service and can find him on Instagram @fariasfamilylaw

August 26, 2021 Everything You Need to Know About Mediation (and How It Can be Helpful Before Divorce As Well) with Attorney and Mediator Dori Shwirtz
The idea of mediation can be scary - but when you get to understand the benefits of mediation, you realize that it is anything but. On this episode of Moms Moving On, Attorney and Mediator Dori Shwirtz breaks down the reasons why mediation should be a no-brainer for divorcing couples, as the process aims to keep things calm and free of litigation.
We also explore the process of marital mediation which takes the non-traditional approach, different from couple’s therapy, and is a guided process of mediation that is aimed at helping you resolve any differences and either save your marriage or decide to divorce if that is the right course for you.
Either way, mediation is awesome and so is Dori. Learn more about her, here.

August 19, 2021 How to Rock Life, New Relationships, and How to Make the Most of Your Time After Divorce
Adjusting to the time without your kids once you start co-parenting.
Rediscovering yourself after divorce.
Dating someone new and introducing him to your kids.
Mealtime life hacks to save your single mom sanity.
There's nothing we didn't cover in this episode of Moms Moving On, and you are going to LOVE Christine Pittman, author and Founder of Cook the Story.
Christine is the founder of COOKtheSTORY where her passion is to create recipes that take less time in the kitchen, giving you more time at the table. Christine’s love for cooking started early, watching and listening to her mother and grandmother in the kitchen, and working in her parents’ restaurants starting at age 12. But before launching her lucrative food blog and business, Christine was doing something entirely different --

Ten years ago, Christine was on maternity leave from a PhD program when her family relocated from Canada to Orlando. In a new country, armed with a master’s degree in Linguistics and a new baby, Christine struggled to find a job opportunity that matched her skillset.

While she figured out what to do with her life, she started a food blog. It was an exciting hobby and kept her connected with friends and family back home. Since then, what originally started as a hobby has turned into one of the top-ranked food blogs in the world, with more than 2 MILLION monthly readers.

The journey from hobbyist to full-fledged lucrative business had many twists and turns, and a lot of learning curves. But now, Christine has figured it out and has great tips and strategies to help other online businesses grow.
