  • No-Drama Divorce: Stay Peaceful Without Getting Steamrolled | Ep 65
    Nov 5 2025

    Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.

    You really can get through your divorce without it turning into an all-out war.

    I’m breaking down how to keep your peace and your power. Because being the “peacemaker” doesn’t mean being a pushover. It means you’re smart, strategic, and keeping your eyes on the long game instead of getting lost in the drama.

    We’ll talk about what a real peacemaker looks like (hint: calm and confident, not quiet and compliant), and how to protect what matters most to you without letting emotions run the show.

    Here’s what we’re diving into:

    • The real difference between being peaceful and being passive
    • How to get in the right headspace before a big talk or mediation
    • Why your emotional "state" affects how well you negotiate
    • What to say when your ex pushes back without making things worse
    • Red flags that you're giving too much away (and how to stop before you do)
    • The one thing that can save you time, money, and a lot of stress

    If you’ve been trying to “keep the peace” but end up feeling walked on, this one’s for you. I’ll show you how to stay grounded, protect your interests, and actually get to the finish line faster, with a lot less stress and way fewer lawyer bills.

  • Why Putting Family on House Title is NOT A Solid Move (w/Greg Bennett) | Ep 64
    Oct 8 2025

    Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.

    It sounds simple: just add your kid to the house title and skip the legal stuff. But what feels like a shortcut can turn into a mess… and sometimes, a full-blown legal disaster.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Sapere Pro and estate planning attorney Greg Bennett to talk about why putting family on your title is almost never a good idea. We’ve seen this move backfire in ways that cause family conflict, tax surprises, and court cases that could have been prevented.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll just put my kid on the deed so it’s easier when I die,” this is your heads-up: it’s probably not as easy or as safe as it sounds.

    Greg and I often see people trying to do the right thing with their home, only to create problems they didn’t expect.

    We talk about what really happens when you add someone to your title, and how it can lead to legal issues, financial risk, and family tension that’s hard to unwind once it starts.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • Why “just put them on” feels simple but can backfire fast
    • The real risks of giving up legal control of your home
    • How families end up in court over decisions made with good intentions
    • A cleaner, safer way to protect your property and the people you love

    This one’s for anyone thinking about estate planning, helping aging parents, or navigating property during divorce. You have options. Just make sure they’re the right ones.

  • You Can Master Those Tough Conversations: Tips for Communicating in Conflict | Ep 63
    Sep 8 2025

    Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.

    You can’t control how they’ll react, but you can control how you show up.

    This episode is about getting grounded, staying calm, and making those hard conversations a little less painful... and a lot more productive.

    When conflict flares up, the way you communicate can either move things forward or make them worse. I’m sharing the same tools I teach my clients—and use myself—to help navigate emotional conversations with more clarity and less chaos. Whether it’s your ex, your co-parent, or your boss, there is a better way.

    You’ll hear a clip from my video guide, How to Talk to Your Ex About Mediation. And while this isn’t about mediation specifically, the same steps and language apply to any tough conversation, especially when emotions are high and the outcome really matters.

    We’re digging into:

    • Why your emotional state before the conversation matters most
    • How to set a non-confrontational tone without triggering the other person
    • The power of neutral language, and why accusations backfire
    • What not to say if you want to avoid defensiveness and dead ends
    • Why pressure and ultimatums never get you what you want
    • How to use scripts to prepare for difficult talks without sounding robotic
    • The surprising upside of conflict (yes, there is one)

    If you’ve got a hard conversation coming up—or one you’ve been avoiding—this episode will help you get grounded, clear, and confident before you speak.
