In this episode, "Winning the War, Not Every Battle," we challenge the common misconception that divorce is about conquering every single point. Instead, we delve into focusing on the bigger picture and strategically choosing your battles to achieve a more favorable and peaceful outcome.

Join us as we explore the pitfalls of the "win the battle, lose the war" mentality, where getting caught up in minor disputes can lead to prolonged legal battles, increased costs, and unnecessary emotional distress. We'll uncover how the "he wants it, so I won't let him have it" mindset, often fueled by negative emotions, can derail productive negotiations and keep you stuck.

Tune in to learn how to approach your divorce with a strategic mindset, fostering a path toward peace and stability.

In Episode 189, Doreen and Jeff tackle a vital subject: the interaction between the primitive brain and the thinking or prefrontal brain during the challenging experience of divorce. This significant life transition can affect your emotional and physical well-being.

By understanding how these distinct areas of the brain operate, you can empower yourself to better manage the emotional upheaval that often accompanies divorce. Doreen and Jeff will shed light on how instinctual reactions, driven by the primitive brain, can contrast with the insights gained from engaging your thinking brain (the prefrontal cortex). This knowledge can help you build resilience and make choices that foster a healthier life post-divorce.

Rewriting your personal narrative is a transformative process of self-discovery and empowerment, especially during and after a divorce.

Your perceptions of past events may often stem from limited or biased viewpoints. Embracing the act of rewriting your story allows you to revisit these moments with the wisdom and perspective that comes with maturity. This episode promises to unveil endless possibilities and new perspectives on your life post-divorce.
