Divorce Roadmap: How to Choose The Best Legal Approach

One of the most important decisions you make in the early stages of divorce is the legal approach that will be most effective for your circumstances. You may find that each attorney you interview states that their approach is the right one for you. It can be overwhelming and scary to sort out what the different legal avenues are and how to discern what is best for you and your spouse. Today we talk with Bill Laufer, a 40 year veteran attorney in the matrimonial law arena whose firm specializes in family law and handles all 4 legal approaches: litigation, arbitration, mediation and collaboration. Listen as Bill walks us through the pro's and con's of each and how to make the best choice given the personalities and circumstances you are facing.

Life After Divorce: Create healthy habits that nourish your body and soul

As we continue talking about healthy living, today's guest has a powerful and successful approach to nutrition and exercise. She shares that the first step is to eat what we enjoy AND begin tracking it. By examining the proteins, fats and carbs in our deit, we raise our awareness what our body is receiving and what it is lacking that we need. The thing I love the most about Chas' approach is she meets each client where they are and helps them to slowly add what is missing and change what is causing harm. She uses the same approach to exercise and tells her client NOT to exercise in the beginning. When they begin it is internally driven. Chas Snowden is a Southern girl, a Nutrition Coach and former crossfit games athlete. Chas passionately teaches people how to eat what they love while getting results! She developed the FLA Movement, Tribe and Foundations in order to help people solidify these permanent lifestyle changes!

JBD Team Talks: When You're Emotionally Out of Step with Your STBX

Whether you are conscious of it or not, there are actually two parts of a divorce – the practical and the emotional. Typically the person who is initiating the divorce started their emotional divorce when they first began to think about whether divorce was even a possibility. This means that they often are further into the emotional divorce process than their spouse when the practical pieces kick in. It's highly unlikely that your spouse will be in the same place you are with regard to their emotions and grief around the separation and/or divorce. Your spouse will most likely move slower. It's easy to misinterpret behaviors such as anger, denial and bargaining as them being difficult or digging in their heels. These behaviors are actually just normal parts of their grieving process. When you are emotionally out of step with your spouse, particularly in the early stages of the process, whether you are in front of them or behind them, there are strategies that you can implement that can begin to move things forward and make the process easier and more productive. No matter how frustrated or triggered you are about their behavior, finding ways to make the divorce process easier for your STBX will also be valuable for you and for the process. Every upset is a set up for self-growth and personal discovery. It's important to come back to yourself and your reactions to the situation, (the only things we ultimately have control of) rather than focusing all your energy on the other person.

Life After Divorce: Stop Chasing Sleep and Engage in the The 7 Pathways to Rest with Sondra Kornblatt

When navigating divorce our monkey minds are often going crazy. At bedtime our mind chatter makes it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep. We've all been there. With lack of sleep comes inability to think, remember things, and handle our emotions. If you are in the midst of divorce or navigating single parenthood, you are probably juggling career, money, kids, and life. You may hope that by staying up late and waking up early, you can balance everything. But that just leads to stress and exhaustion which leads to a path towards unhealthy choices.

JBD Team Talks: Communicating with Mastery During High Conflict Divorce

The way we communicate will make or break our divorce. It will move us closer to what we desire or farther away. It will invite curiosity and compromise or judgement and destruction. In order to be able to communicate with mastery, we need to first be aware of our triggers and ways of behaving under stress. We also need to be able to read other people, their mood, body language and tone. When we combine these skills with clear communication, we are on the right path. With me today is Lisa Brick, JBD Partner and Divorce Coach and Carrie Doubts, JBD Divorce Coach. Together we discuss tips and strategies to communicate with mastery. As promised during the conversation we shared the following resources:Bill Eddy's Book: BIFF JBD Podcast: High Conflict Divorce: How to Remain Peaceful, Productive and Professional Request a Free Rapid Relief Call at www.rapidreliefcall.com For more information on Journey Beyond Divorce visit: www.jbddivorcesupport.com

Life After Divorce: How to Effectively Communicate When Tensions Run High

Navigating complex and tense conversations can easily result in emotional grenades being tossed across the room and little to nothing being resolved. Today we speak to Bill Eddy, well known for his work in the high conflict area about How to Effectively Communicate When Tensions Run High. Bill talks to us about his latest book, "Calming Upset People with EAR" an acronym for Empathy, Attention and Respect. Bill's EAR tool is designed to help in HC conversations and with HC personalities.

Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq. is High Conflict Institute's co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer. He pioneered the High Conflict Personality Theory (HCP) and has become an expert on managing disputes involving people with high conflict personalities. He was the Senior Family Mediator at the National Conflict Resolution Center for 15 years, a Certified Family Law Specialist lawyer representing clients in family court for 15 years, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker therapist with twelve years' experience.
