Our guest today is Tina Swithin, Author and Family Court Advocate. Tina founded One Mom's Battle after navigating a high-conflict divorce in the California Family Court System. Rhonda and Tina discuss the importance of documentation, preparation, and strategy to take on these difficult domestic abuse cases. Grab a pen - you'll want to take notes!

When Tina named her blog, "One Mom's Battle," she truly felt alone and isolated in her journey. After going public with her story in 2011, Tina quickly realized that she was not alone, and that narcissistic abuse affects both men and women. Tina champions children's rights - versus mother's rights or father's rights. Tina has now dedicated her life to raising awareness on narcissistic personality disorder and its impact on victims and, on the family court system. In the fall of 2019, Tina successfully terminated her ex husband's parental rights which is no small feat in the California family court system. Tina has chosen to assume the title of survivor versus victim and has become an advocate for change in the Family Court System. Tina believes that the courts have lost sight of their primary focus, which should be the best interest of the children and are too focused on mothers' rights and fathers' rights. Tina believes that children are suffering unnecessarily due to the lack of education on the front lines and behind the judicial bench. Tina works tirelessly to raise awareness of the issues in the Family Court System and to educate the court system on Narcissistic Personality Disorder and other Cluster B personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. Tina has written a series of books under the title, "Divorcing a Narcissist." 🌟 Master Your Next Move in Divorce: Watch our FREE Masterclass and learn how to empower your divorce journey with confidence, clarity, and control. 🎥 FREE MASTERCLASS: Get Instant Access

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Amanda Singer. Amanda is Co-Owner of West Coast Family Mediation Center. She is a Licensed Attorney, Certified Mediator, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst. Amanda's key area of practice is mediation. According to Amanda, mediation is not going to work in all situations, but it does in a lot more than people realize. Some couples might agree on everything and they just might need more help with getting things done correctly. And there are those that agree on nothing. At least they have to both agree on mediation. Communication is not easy. Make sure you utilize the mediator's expertise to help you through this process, especially if you have kids. Here are some of Amanda's recommendations about mediation and communication during the divorce process: Mediation is a voluntary process and both partners have to be willing to participate, compromise, and communicate. Once you're already in mediation, share your concerns with the mediator. Think about how you're communicating with your spouse, or soon be your ex-spouse during the process. It is important to take a step back and think about what it is you're saying and how it is going to be received.

Today they discuss the things you should be considering before selling your home during your divorce. Selling your home could be a tough decision due to various reasons such as emotional attachment, but you must consider everything when making this big decision in your life. Bridget reminds today's listeners to be careful and consider everything in making your decision. Here are some of the key points to the discussion that make this a worthy listen: The key is to take a deep breath and really think through the strategy before you make a decision of whether or not to either buy out a spouse, if that's possible, or whether you need to sell the home. Take a look at the numbers, options and data to make a good decision, not leaving the emotional part at the door but also not forgetting that there is some logic that goes along with the decision making as well. Hire the right people on your journey. It's not easy to go through a divorce and you need the right professionals along the way. It's important to have experts that you need which could save you time, money, energy and mistakes. The best time to sell is when both parties are getting along.

In today's episode, I sat down with David Iancu of Karp & Iancu, S.C. law firm in the state of Wisconsin, to debunk some of the myths surrounding divorce. Disclaimer! The discussion that we had pertains specifically to the laws on divorce in the State of Wisconsin. What we discussed may not apply to you as each state has its own laws pertaining to this matter. Nevertheless, I am encouraging you to listen to our discussion because there might be things that you didn't initially consider that could be touched upon here. Right off the bat, David Iancu gives his most important advice to people considering divorce and it is this: Get as much intel or information as you can! He notes that people often lack knowledge about the divorce process. Thus, he encourages you to look out for information to gain clarity about your situation. Listen to this episode to learn the truth about myths in divorce. Here are some of the myths that spouses believe: Myth 1 - "We get to keep what we had before we got married." Myth 2 - "The placement of our children will be on a 50-50 basis." Myth 3 - "The judge will approve any settlement we agree on."

For today's episode, Rhonda is joined by Nicole Cheri Oden. Nicole is an attorney licensed in the State of California for almost 10 years with her own virtual law practice. Today they will discuss the various options when going through a divorce. Litigation divorce isn't the only way and being aware of these options can help families minimize the emotional stress and costs during a difficult time. Taking a step back to review the emotional climate between the two parties can eventually help smoothen the journey through divorce. Nicole sternly reminds today's listeners that divorces don't necessarily need to be amicable to be successful but to be respectful. Here are some key points to the discussion that makes this a worthy listen: There is more than one way to get a divorce. Listen now to know what to consider when choosing between mediation, collaborative process, cooperative process, and limited scope representation. Divorce is not free - It will cost time and money so choose wisely on how you spend it. It might cost more to switch gears midway so choose the process that fits you. Choosing the right team is essential. This is a sensitive and personal time of your life and you should be able to have the lawyer that you're comfortable with.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Ariel Kopac, the founder and owner of Harness Your Hindrance. They talk about money and the mindsets that keep us stuck. We all experience fears around money, and that fear is heightened when there is a significant life change, especially divorce. Knowing that you can call out the fear, face it, and not be manipulated by it, you embrace the power you have. We can be manipulated by fear, or we can manipulate our fear. The choice is ours. Women going through divorce need to know that they have the power to choose. Ariel's message to you today is: Whatever you decide, know that your greatest limitations are always those that you place upon yourself. Listen to this episode and learn about some of the strategies that may impact your mindset around money. Here are some of them: Whenever you focus on what you do not want, you are keeping your focus there instead of on what you do want. Our associations are powerful and can be helpful or hurtful. Reframe money as a tool that you use. You have to know your truth, so you can deflect the lies and stay strong and focused on what you want to say. You have to know what is your ideal and what is nonnegotiable. Take out time for yourself, figure out what you want first, and then go into conversation. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Ariel Kopac. Ariel is the Founder and Owner of Harness Your Hindrance. Here's how Ariel describes herself: I am a mindset business coach, focused on empowering people to find and face the fears that are holding them back from reaching their next level of success. My professional background is in training and development for financial advisors. My curiosity for understanding what holds people back was strongly prompted there. My passion for tapping into the potential of a person has led to my founding of Harness Your Hindrance. I have studied personality assessments, neuro-linguistic programming, limiting beliefs coaching, and human behavior concepts to learn how to tap into the mind and maneuver mindsets. Clients have called me a "mental ninja" as we have discovered what was deep in their mindset, holding them back from pursuing what they want.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Elizabeth Kay, the Morning Show host on 99.1 The Mix and podcast host of "50 Shades of Kay". Elizabeth talks about her divorce process, the things she did, and the things she wished she did differently. She also talks about her life after divorce. According to her, you are going to have tough days, even after the divorce, because you need the time to mourn your relationship. Elizabeth also shares about her life in a blended family and gives some excellent co-parenting tips. She highly recommends the book The Happy Stepmother by Rachelle Katz, which is very helpful and easy to read. Elizabeth's message to the women going through the divorce is: Put your needs first and do not apologize for it, even if there are kids involved in the divorce. If you do not take care of yourself, and put your oxygen mask on first, you are going to suffer the consequences of that down the road, and ultimately, so will your children. Here are some of her recommendations: You are in the stage of the process where you are thinking very emotionally. And you are making permanent decisions. Put your power team together that will get you through and help you realize that you are not alone. And find someone you can talk to that is completely not involved and does not know all the people involved. You can picture something in your future, but it does not always happen. It is good to plan, but sometimes you need not be so strict with the plan. You have to follow your gut. Your kids are paying attention. They hear things, they pick up on things. If you have any frustrations do not say them in front of a child. That does not do anybody any good, and there are always two sides to every story. Get out of your ego.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Amee Quiriconi. Amee is an advocate, business consultant, speaker, author, and the owner of Activity Girl, LLC. Amee has been divorced twice and has learned valuable lessons from each experience. According to Amee, divorce is emotional. We have to find space in our divorce process to breathe, to calm down, and to come back to the really hard decisions that we have to make when we are not amplified, and elevated, stressed down, and depressed. Here are some of her thoughts and recommendations: Support system is invaluable. It is hard to do this on your own, especially in a high-conflict situation. We have to figure out where can we get resources of people that are not in the swirl, in the perimeter of the hurricane, but are sitting safely and calmly in the middle. Divorce is hard. And if you haven't done therapy or counseling for the duration of your divorce, I highly recommend finding somebody who can help you with that because divorce is triggering a lot of things in us. Pivot, stop and think about what you're doing. Treat it like a business. We have to be able to evaluate what is the cost – emotionally, financially… and what is the potential of returning our investment. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Amee Quiriconi, Business Consultant, Speaker, and Autor, the owner of Activity Girl LCC. Here's how Amee describes herself: Unfortunately, I've divorced a couple of times and had to deal with financial abuse before and during a divorce. My financial turnaround in my life was of the hardest things to do, but it happened. I am an advocate for women and their financial independence, even if happily married because you never know when life will happen, and you will need to support yourself (and maybe kids) all on your own.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Attorney Dan Exner, Family Law and Divorce Lawyer, and the Founder of Exner Legal, LLC. They talk about mediation. There are some misperceptions about mediation. Mediation is not an alternative to the divorce process. And mediator is not an attorney that's there to advise people. Mediators are not supposed to give you any kind of direction - their role is either to find the middle ground or to figure out where there is none. The one thing Dan wants you to know is: You need to be empowered with as much information as possible before you go down this path, whatever path you take. There are many good things you can learn from their conversation, and here are some of them: Internet is a great source of information. But be careful what you read online. Law changes from state to state, but procedures can change county by county, or even judge to judge. Even be careful who you are talking to because people can have completely different experiences than you. You are going to have to mediate if you have children and if you're litigating custody and placement issues. Mediator can be any person, but you want to choose an attorney, or retired judge, who has dealt with the subject matter because they have seen these cases many times and can give you the best option. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Dan Exner, Family Law & Divorce Lawyer — Founder of Exner Legal, LLC. Attorney Daniel A. Exner has experienced the best education Wisconsin has to offer. He received his double bachelor's degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Juris doctorate from Marquette University. Attorney Exner has practiced exclusively law affecting the family from modifying the current family tree to planning for legal needs in the future. His career started at the national family law firm of Cordell & Cordell where he focused on fathers' rights. He helped opened Sterling Law Offices and practiced there as a partner until the Fall of 2018, representing people from all walks of life. He is a member of the Wisconsin Bar, Illinois Bar (inactive), and Waukesha Bar Association. He is a member of the Foley Inns of Court. Here's how Dan describes himself: I am a family law specialist. I can say that because this is all I do. And I am focused on two main practice pillars: I really stress communication. That is important to me. And I do not tell my clients what they are going to do. I'll give you my advice, I'll tell you what is a good idea or what is a bad idea, but at the end of the day, it is your case, it is your judgment, you are the one that has to live with it.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Ilyssa Panitz, a Divorce Journalist and Columnist. According to Ilyssa, too many times women act on emotions, and then when faced with a barrage of questions about money, finances, marital residence, and expenses, they come up short by not having any of the answers. It is crucial, vital, and imperative that women do their homework before serving their husbands with divorce papers. Ilyssa's message for you today is: You are going to be OK. You are going to land on your feet. You are going to survive and thrive. Here are some of her recommendations: Preparation is everything. Keep your emotions in check. It is a very big transaction and you have to treat it as such. You have to know your facts. Investigate, investigate, investigate. Set a new email address, your own bank account, get your own credit card, check your vehicle for a tracking device, get off your social media, do not put anything regarding your matter on social media, get Life360 app for your children… Put a team together. Your lawyer should not be your accountant. Find 2-3 people you like and have them work together. The team you hire works for you.

My profession has allowed me to cover pivotal news and entertainment events including The September 11th attacks, The Tony Awards, The MTV Movie Awards, The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and even travel with Hillary Clinton as part of her Senate Campaign's Listening Tour.

In this episode, Dr. Cohen shares about the trauma of divorce and healing from that trauma, and she gives some really good tips on how to process the anger. According to Dr. Elizabeth, your experience matters. And the only person you can change is you. Her message for you today is: You are immensely brave, you are immensely courageous, you are strong beyond measure. Here are some of her tips: Watch and notice the thoughts you use. And instead of saying: "My marriage is over, the relationship did not work", consider saying: "My relationship came to its perfect conclusion. It gave me and my partner everything it was meant to, and now it is time to release it". To process anger, allow your body to move through anger by listening to music. Do not talk smack about the other parent. You have the right to be angry, but your child should never be part of that. Your child has a biological need to attach to both parents. If you talk smack about the other parent, you kid will feel unsafe. - Dr. Cohen has provided for you a pdf file with some really good prompts on how to replace the words of anger with the words that can help you child.

Rebecca is a divorce mediator that specializes in working with families that have children with special needs, and she is also a special education advocate for those parents. According to Rebecca, whether you're experiencing a divorce, separation, or you have a child with any kind of behavioral, developmental or educational issue, it's a crisis, it is something you did not expect. In that moment of crisis, you're not going to make the best decisions. You need a team of professionals, people who can help you to answer all those questions and teach you to ask the right questions. Rebecca's message to you is: You are not alone, and we are going to build the team together that's going to help give you all the information you need to move forward and in more empowered way. Here are some of her recommendations: Having the right team is important to provide you with right information. If you have a special needs child, you may need a special needs financial planner, or a health insurance advocate. If you can understand what's motivating the person on the other side, that is going to help you work on these relationships better. You do not have to do what your attorney said the last three clients did, or what your friend down the street did. You have to do what works best for your family.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes Kristin Belkofer, a mental health professional, and a Founder and Clinical Director of CLARA Healing Institute. They talk about the parenting aspect of the divorce process and therapeutic strategies for working with children. According to Kristin, if communication and healthy confrontation is a problem in marriage, it is going to be a problem in the coparenting relationship. Her message to you today is: This is just a chapter of not only your story but of your family's story. And remember that kids are extremely resilient. Here are some of Kristin's counsels: It is important for both parents to feel that they can have some space for transitioning and coping from stressful situations. Kids are resilient but they need support – the earlier, the better – even if it seems that the child handles it well. Because sometimes they don't even know what to ask, or what to say. There are some great tools for families for better day-to-day communication, like Talking Parents, and My Family Wizard. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Klara Belkofer, Psychotherapist, and Founder and Clinical Director of CLARA Healing Institute. Here's how Kristin describes herself: In my role as a psychotherapist, I provide therapy services, support, and psychoeducation for women who are engaging in the divorce process. Additionally, I work with children who are moving through the divorce process, helping them to create a healthy and resilient narrative about the family story. I am trained as a child specialist for collaborative divorce, and I help parents create holistic parenting plans in the best interest of the child. I enjoy using simple, easy to understand language to help parents understand the basic tenants of brain development and neural response to life transitions for their children. I went through a divorce in 2010 when my son was 7, and I would love to help other women learn from my mistakes and make parenting decisions out of confidence and trust in themselves, rather than guilt or doubt.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes Jessica Coenen, Founder and CEO of La Belle Creative. Jess shares her story of being divorced twice, left almost homeless, without an income, and full of questions like: Who am I? And then starting over, answering those questions and building the new story for herself. Here are some of her encouragements: This is you new life and fresh start. And that is scary as hell because you don't know what's around the corner. What do you fantasize about? What are your biggest dreams? Even if you have to go to work at Starbucks, or somewhere, be thinking about what your dreams are and you're passionate about, and could you market that, could you sell that. When new information enters the equation, you get to make different decisions. You can only start with where you are.

On this episode Rhonda welcomes Christine Bannister, a Courage Coach, mom of two, and a full-time Dispatch Supervisor for 911 center. Christine shares about her own experience of raising children as a single mom, building her career in emergency services, and PTSD as a result of being overloaded and not dealing with the trauma of divorce. Christine's message for those who are going through divorce is: This is not the end of you. There is hope. As you progress, and move through the trauma, and start dealing with things, you continue to find yourself and discover who you are. Here are some of her thoughts: In all the moments when you feel exhausted and overwhelmed, and you feel like you can't take care of yourself, stop everything you're doing, and rest, or go for a walk, or choose a better food item that can nourish your body or your brain in a different way. Because 'someday' takes a really long time to get here. We all have trauma, but we just ignore it. It is really critical to know and understand that trauma does not get better, it just gets buried. Identify it, talk to someone, and keep processing. Remember that you're not alone. What you're going through is normal when it comes to dealing with abnormal circumstances, like divorce. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Christine Bannister. Christine is a Courage Coach and 911 Dispatch Supervisor. Here's how describes herself: After being numb, exhausted, frightened, rundown, and just trying to survive... the worst hit and PTSD struck me down. But I was brave enough to decide that it would not dictate to me whether my career would be over and I fought to gain my life back. The journey through PTSD has been tough but has increased my capacity to love and learn and evolve. It forced me to deal with me, deal with self-care deficiencies, and deal with the pain & trauma long hidden in my heart. The healing is not done yet but what glorious good God has done through it all. Now, I am wrapping up my 26-year career in emergency services and working to launch a Coaching business while earning my degree in Crisis & Trauma Counseling from Liberty university.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes her friend Jessica Lucchesi Moylan, health and wellness expert, a mom of three daughters and recently divorced after 25 years of marriage. Jessica shares her insight and encouragement with you, and her message for you today is: Tack your head, your heart and your gut in the alignment. According to Jessica, divorce is like a bad dream, but she'd rather be alone than lonely with somebody else. Here are some of Jessica's suggestions for those women contemplating divorce: Start to journal – What do I want? What do I want out of life, what do I want in a relationship? It is a really personal decision. You have to choose your hard - because, it is going to be hard. There will be things you have to go through whether you stay or whether you leave. Keep your side of the street clean. And be absolutely resolute and sound in your decision. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Jessica Moylan, Wellness & fitness lover, make-up artist, leader and Arbonne consultant. Here's how she describes herself: I come from a divorced family. I wanted to do it differently. I met my husband when I was 21. He was a little older than me, and it felt safe and secure. From the outside, compared to the instability I was living in, it looked stable. It took me 20 years, to realize that my marriage is emotionally bankrupt. I did not have a partner. I did everything on my own. I felt like I was a single mom with him as a fourth child. Finally, I decided that I'd rather be alone.

In this episode Rhonda talks to Lisa Mack, an independent senior sales director, and a Cadillac driver. Lisa shares about her experience when she was going through divorce after four years of marriage, starting her business and building credit ratings. For a long time, she found comfort in her favorite Bible verse from Jeremiah 29:11, and it proved true in her life. According to Lisa, the overall thing is: You can do it. You can make it through. You really can come through on the other side even better than you could've even imagine. Here are some of Lisa's suggestions for women going through divorce: It may seem like the worst thing in the world. Take a minute at a time, if you cannot do a day or an hour. Anger and grief – It is too easy to cover it up with a band aid, but you have to get through it. Sit in it, and feel it and go through it (the hurt, the emotion….) before you can move on in a healthy way for yourself and your family. Talk to a trained professional. Hire a quality attorney who is well versed in this industry, who will give you guidance, particularly if you have children. Even if you're getting along, even if you think it's going to be amicable, feelings change, divorce is an emotional thing, it's one of the worst things you could ever go through and you want to make sure you are protected. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Lisa Mack, Mary Kay Independent senior sales director. She is a beauty influencer, who is empowering the lives of women daily!

In this episode Rhonda welcomes Stephanie Shaw, the founder of Leigh & Ollie. Stephanie is a health and wellness coach and a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Nutrition Strategist. According to Stephanie, you need to look at the bigger picture, not just how to lose weight. Here are some of her tips: Meal prepping – make sure that your metabolism maintains consistency throughout the day and that you are getting good carbohydrates, fats, protein. You want to make sure that you're eating that balanced diet. If you look at your cycle, the four different phases of your cycle, each of them will tell you when you should be making certain decisions. Put your oxygen mask first – if you don't take care of yourself, then you can't take care of your children, of your finances or your career.

As a result, my clients build a lasting lifestyle of confidence, energy, and a body they love.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes Barbara Huson. Barbara is the leading authority on women, wealth and power. Barbara shares several tips on how to change our mindset and deal with that resistance that keeps us from making that change. The ideal way to work with resistance is to explore it – to ask yourself some really deep questions and think it through: what am I afraid of; why am I afraid…. When you look at your resistance and you explore it, it is amazing what happens. It's quite simple to rewire for wealth. It's only three steps: recognize your negative, unhealthy, or unwanted thought; reframe it, and respond differently. It is not about the money. It's who you have to become in order to attract, to sustain and to grow your wealth. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Barbara Huson (previously known as Barbara Stanny). She is the leading authority on women, wealth and power. As a bestselling author, teacher & wealth coach, Barbara has helped millions take charge of their finances and their lives. Here's how Barbara describes herself: I've had two divorces, and both those divorces were emotionally devastating. But they were also huge turning points in my life and I had the opportunity to become a different person, a stronger woman because of it. I grew up relying on my father (the "R" of H&R Block), then my husband, to manage my inheritance. But early in my marriage, I found out my husband was a compulsive gambler. And here's the insane part — I continued to let him handle all our finances because that's how scared and intimidated I was by money. That didn't change until a devastating financial crisis became a personal wake-up call. I got tax bills for over $1m for illegal deals my ex got us in. He'd left the country. I didn't have anywhere close to $1m. And my father wouldn't lend me the money. I had three daughters — one just a baby, and I was not going to raise them on the street. That's when I knew I had to get smart. And I did.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes her friend and a fellow podcaster Kimberly Warner. Kimberly shares about her experience of going through divorce after 19 years of marriage, dealing with attorneys and the importance of asking the right questions, even if your process is amicable. Here are some of Kimberly's thoughts on the subject: It does take time, and I think you have to do something for yourself. Pick up a new hobby, or a new habit, or something that you really want to do to start healing. You have to be authentic and honest with yourself and know that you deserve more – and be strong enough to ask the questions and to say what you want. Figure out who your tribe is, the people that can support you, and stand there and hold your hand through it. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Kimberly Warner.

On this episode Rhonda talks to Dera Johnsen-Tracy, an Estate Planning Attorney and a partner at Horn & Johnsen SC. Dera law firm, about the importance of Estate planning. Dera's message for us today is: Getting started on your Estate plan, or even getting a plan in place, gives you a sense of control. You can decide, even if your divorce is not final yet, who is going to make financial decisions for you if you cannot do that for yourself; your healthcare decisions; who is going to plan your funeral… Here are some of Dera's recommendations: Staff happens. For your own peace of mind, and for those who you leave behind, it is much better to make sure you have a plan in place. You have to make sure your divorce attorney and your estate planning attorney are working together to make sure that you will have the authority to take care of things the way that you want. Take back your power. The best way to do it is to get started, take control of your own assets, take control of your own decisions; it really does provide the peace of mind.

On this episode Rhonda talks to Rachel O'Connell, founder and CEO of Pinnacle Parent and Divorced Family Coach about the choices that make a difference in life and parenting. Rachel's message today for our listeners is: You will get through it; you are going to be OK, and you will probably be better than you could even imagine. Here are some of her recommendations: Accept and own the choices you have made, and you'll be able to grow and move through them and make different choices in the future. Everything starts with the parents. We have to address what's going on internally. We have to get in touch with our authentic self. Accountability, support and a safe space are important for you as well as for your children. Create the space in your home where your children are experiencing the safety of being able to have conversations with their parent. Heal stands for: H – honoring the space and the place you're in E – expanding yourself A – affirming your new identity L – live Healing is important. Choose to honor your space, yourself, and deal with your trauma and your emotions. And do the same for your kids. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Rachel O'Connell, the founder and CEO of Pinnacle Parent and Divorced Family Coach. Here's how she describes herself: I am a 40-yr-old mom of 2 teens and they're amazing! And I am passionate about helping people in all walks of life. Pinnacle Parent was birthed out of this passion. As a child of divorced parents, and having repeated the cycle of divorce with my own family, I knew there had to be a better way to thrive in divorce. I have been around divorce for 28 years through my childhood, marrying into and immediately becoming a step-parent, then divorcing, and then re-marrying and bringing a step-parent into my children's lives. It's a vicious cycle. One that I now know how to break because I have done it differently! Pinnacle Parent's proprietary system has been developed by compiling personal experience (28-years), research, and tools/methods from thought leaders in the mindset and spiritual realm. Culture has told us who we are in divorce (step-parents/co-parents/wicked step-mother, etc.) and what divorce looks like (full of hate, bitterness, pain, hurt, belittling, low self-esteem, arguing, WIIFM attitudes). This is what continues the divorce pattern repeating. The majority of families fall into the trap of the numbing effects of divorce. They just try to survive, forget about thriving. And this ultimately affects the children the most, with unseen deep wounds that just perpetuate the cycle in their adult lives. Pinnacle Parent is here to transform the landscape of divorce in the nation and the culture of divorce in your own family. My 8-week 'Foundations' course will begin you on your journey of being the change-agent for your family. And I will be right by your side through it all. After completing the 'Foundations' course, Pinnacle Parent offers 1:1 coaching to any member of the family that wants to continue with the change. Pinnacle Parent is also open for speaking engagements of all kinds. Together, we will not only make your years of divorce thriving years, but we will work to break the chains of divorce off your future generations, and the world, one family at a time.

In this episode Rhonda talks to Paula Rauenbuehler, an International Coaching Federation Certified Associate Coach, about Emotional intelligence. Paula shared about emotional intelligence assessment, self-awareness, mindset and dealing with emotions in a stressful situation, such as divorce. Emotional intelligence assessment is behavioral in nature – it is about where are you right now, where do you want to go, and what behaviors are needed in order for you to get there. Here are some of her recommendations: Self-awareness is about finding out what is behind the emotion, what caused the reaction. Take time to see what's really going on. Any life changing experience is emotional and stressful. When in stress, we are in fear-based mindset. Ask yourself – what else might be going on here. It is important for people to use the mindset and awareness to make some decisions and do some discerning of who are they now and who they want to be after all of this. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Paula Rauenbuehler. Paula is an International Coaching Federation Certified Associate Coach. Using her experiences as a Human Resources Director in the corporate sector along with degrees in psychology and business administration, she is uniquely prepared to assist companies in strengthening their succession plan, improve engagement and retention of top performers impacting both the top and bottom line. As a certified leadership coach, Paula recognizes the capability gaps happening across teams big and small. She's not afraid to address the elephant in the room. Working with an organization's leaders, she creates a plan that uses neuroscience (or a brain-based approach) and the organization's real day-to-day work. I call on interactive exercises, brainstorming and feedback to create an environment ready to set priorities, breakdown barriers, and achieve success beyond expectations. Paula guides organizations from the inside out using the KickStart Your Edge Model. Knowing that it all starts with the individual. From the individual, to teams, leaders, and the business itself, she focuses on the driving forces—The Thing Behind The Thing—that keeps organizations from achieving their best results.

In this episode Rhonda talks to Vicki Vollweiler, the Founder of College Financial Prep, about plans and strategies on saving money on the cost of college when parents are separated or divorced. According to Vicki, it is possible to save money on the cost of college, but it takes some planning and strategizing. She talks about developing a college list, merit and need based scholarships, filling financial aid forms, filling appeals due to separation and divorce, custodial parents, and student loans. Vicki recommends to start developing a college list by high school sophomore/junior year, and by the end of junior year to have a list of 30-40 schools to research. Lot of information about that can be found online, but it is also important to go to college fairs and to talk to the admissions representatives. Contact Information and Other Resources Vicki Vollweiler, Founder of College Financial Prep is a divorced mom of two children who understands the financial complexities of sending a child to college. Her work with families (primarily those who are divorced) throughout the entire financial aid process starts from strategically creating a college list through financial aid form preparation, appeals and student loan guidance which ensures that families are able to maximize college savings, minimize costs and reduce the need for student loan debt. Here's how Vicki describes herself: It all started with my own personal story. I was a Divorce Coach who helped people attain goals, specifically with regards to their personal finances. As clients started to ask me how they were going to afford the cost of college, my own son was approaching high school and I certainly wanted the best for my son! As a divorced mom, I knew that I wanted to spend the least amount of money necessary to ensure, both, his success and happiness while allowing me to maintain my bank account and not go into debt. I know that we all want the absolute best for our children, especially, when preparing for college. The key is to be informed, strategic and detail oriented so that you can maximize savings on the cost of college. If you're unsure how to proceed, don't potentially lose thousands and thousands of dollars. College Financial Prep was created to guide families through the maze of college financial aid.

In this episode Rhonda talks to Cyrina Talbott, the Owner of The Mindset Transformation Company, about improving the mindset when it comes to false beliefs around money. Cyrina recommends to let go of false beliefs like: Man make the money, women don't Money is available for other people, but not for me Money is evil Money is a big deal. It reflects our values, status, comfort, and our security. Don't let these false beliefs stop you from the actions you need to take. What's the best for me, my future, and my kids? Ask these questions and be "bitchy" about it if needed - regardless of how it affects your ex. Doing what's right for you is your responsibility, but it's not your responsibility how it affects other people. If our #1 priority is making everybody happy, it's not going to be good for us.

In this episode Rhonda talks to Lisa Zeiderman, a Managing Partner at Miller Zeiderman LLP. They are discussing some of the less obvious financial issues you should consider when looking at your and your spouse's financial assets in a divorce. Key takeaways from this conversations are: Staying on course through the litigation process is important. Divorce process is a marathon. Aim for the long run, and make sure to get to the end that works for you and your children. What you say to your therapist is not necessarily private during the child custody dispute. Marriage is a financial partnership, and it should be viewed as such during a divorce. Your job for the next year is to actually engage into divorce.

On this episode Rhonda talks to Elise Buie, an Attorney/Guardian ad Litem at Elise Buie Family Law group. Elise shares her story how she overcame obstacles, so the listeners could not only just get through, but to thrive through their divorce. Elise shares advice to women going through a divorce: Don't be afraid to "dig under the rug" and look at your finances Find an emotionally intelligent attorney who can see your potential You are so much more capable than you allow yourself to believe Elise is empowering and reassuring women that they are capable of thriving after divorce, in every single way: personally, professionally, mentally, and financially. Divorce is a story of adversity, and her strength is helping people find and call upon their strength in times of adversity to transform themselves and their lives into something better.

I grew up in New Orleans, and never imagined that I would move away -- in fact, it took a natural disaster in the form of Hurricane Katrina to force me from my hometown. After a number of unexpected events, my husband and our four children landed in Georgia with only $150 in our pockets. Things only got worse: we soon found ourselves in massive trouble with the IRS, marking the beginning of a years-long struggle out of debt for our family. For me, it was the beginning of a years- long struggle out of a dead marriage and back into the workforce so that I could put my kids through college. Eventually, I found myself remarried and moved to Seattle. I went from knowing nobody to opening and growing my family law firm into a multi-million dollar business. I'm debt-free today, and have put all of my kids through college. It is because of adversity, as much as it is because of my perseverance, that I am where I am today, and it is my greatest calling to help others find their new and independent life after periods of personal adversity, particularly divorce."

I have coached groups of women and teams via the Strengths Based Leadership Program and strengths based team building events. In the past I worked in corporate in a variety of areas, from an analytical lab, safety, and learning and development, each with their own "unspoken rules of the game". I had jobs that were a joy to get up for, and jobs that were not. I believe strongly that you should be excited to get up for work each day. My husband and I have three amazing teenagers. Our house is turning into quite the pet palace. We have two Pups, two Cockatiels, two Parakeets, and six Chickens (they have their own palace outside). We look forward to day we can return going out to the movies in a theater with all that movie popcorn.

In this episode, Rhonda talks to Marco Munoz, Co-Founder of DComply, about making your post-divorce life simpler with an amazing tool that provides a better process for working with an ex on shared parenting expenses. Marco recommends: To have a process when it comes to finances Stay out of court The biggest challenge around variable expenses is communication followed by administration. DComply App will help you with both of those challenges so you can avoid paying more for expenses than you should. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Marco Munoz, Co-Founder of DComply. Marco is a divorced father that ended his marriage in 2005. From 2011-2016, Marco and his ex-wife relitigated his divorce over "phantom expenses" that his former claimed in order to dramatically increase child support. The experience taught him that family courts are ill equipped to adjudicate these decisions. Divorced parents bring their own stories to court and judges don't have the time or tools to sort through the financial transaction detail to make completely fact-based decisions. Marco realized that there is no reason that there shouldn't be a digital fingerprint of two co-parents' financial relationship. This compelled him to lean into his experience leading sales operations teams and selling financial accounting software to design DComply to be that single source of financial truth post-divorce. In addition to founding DComply with his wife Giovanna, Marco is a Regional Vice President with Oracle and has a 20+ years of experience in tech sales, sales operations and leadership. He has a BA from Boston University and his MBA from the Johnson School at Cornell University.

In this episode, Rhonda sits down to talk with Candy Leigh, the owner of Candy Leigh Coaching about the journey to worthy. Candy shares 3 Key Takeaways to help women find their way back from divorce: Reclaim your self-worth Declutter your space Take action by journaling Candy also gives a bonus tip about building a "team" around you to support you on your journey! Contact Information and Other Resources Our guests today was Candy Leigh, Owner of Candy Leigh Coaching, LLC; Author, Finding Life In Between; certified: mediator, coach, trainer, change management professional. In 2019 her entire world was thrown upside down when, after a massive spinal surgery, Candy was laid off from her corporate job of 20 years. As a divorced, single mom who carried health insurance, this created a significant jolt in her life. She spent a lot of time reflecting, and decided to write a book. Candy left on a road trip with the goal of talking to others to learn their journey, but instead, it forced her to spend massive time in self-reflection and solitude. What she wrote became a journal of radical truth telling, her journey to worthy, and I believe that, if we started sharing our truths, we will find pieces of our stories within each other. The return from the trip was the reawakening of her purpose and confidence. After going back to corporate on contract, and getting laid off again, Candy finally listened to what the universe was telling her and began her own coaching business, focusing on empowering women.

In this episode, Beth sits down to talk with Rhonda about navigating business and entrepreneurship while contemplating or going through divorce. She had a lot of great advice for our listeners, but a few items that she mentioned are: Just take that step! Build your team (and surround yourself with them) Rely on your intention Have a plan Prepare to BE INSPIRED! Contact Information and Other Resources Our guests today was Beth Crowell, owner and founder of The Hippie Banker. Here is a bit about Beth, in her own words: "I have been through a divorce -- and have been able to remain friends with my ex-husband. It was a very healthy divorce and am so grateful for that. After coming out of my own divorce, it has always broken my heart hearing my friends (and sometimes acquaintances) share with me their unhappiness in their own marriages, but feeling stuck and unable to make a change. In fact, when I first left my job to become a life coach, I had intended to focus on helping women through divorce, but divine guidance led me down another path! However, being involved with the WFWC allows me to bring it back in, to which I am very grateful. Business ownership is a way that women can gain control over their finances, and feel empowered to take control over their destinies. Being reliant on a spouse's income can be a very strong hook that exacerbates the fear associated with leaving a marriage. With my background as a commercial lender, consultant for the Small Business Development Center at UW-Eau Claire, instructor for the Women's Business Center at Western Dairyland, and my deep spiritual base, I can help guide women through not only the technical aspects of starting a business, but also through the fears and limiting beliefs that often hold us back from pursuing what we know deep down inside is right for us.
