This week on The Moving On Method®, Michelle Dempsey-Multack and Dr. Cassie Bowles delve into the complexities of detachment, particularly in the context of trauma and mental health.

Following a few years working in health care consulting and the non-profit world, she returned to graduate school in 2014 to complete a Doctorate of Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology.

Dr. Cassie has trained in academic medical centers, schools, and private practice settings, working with a wide range of clinical presentations from depression and anxiety to complex medical diagnoses. She completed training in psychodiagnostic testing and assessment in the Infant and Preschool Clinic at UCLA’s Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior, working with families of young children to address developmental and behavioral concerns.

AND MORE

Nicole Keshishian Modic, aka “Kalejunkie”, is a proud Armenian and full-time food blogger and recipe developer based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Nicole started her food blog almost 9 years ago on Instagram, as a hobby, while she was on maternity leave from her job as a lawyer. She used Instagram to document food she was eating as she began healing from a 15 + year eating disorder that no one knew about. At the time, she was a practicing lawyer, using food to cope with the stress and demands of her chosen career. At the time, Nicole’s definition of “healthy” was a diet consisting solely of plain salads, bland chicken breast, green juice, and KALE—and so, the name “Kalejunkie” was born. But over time, her relationship with food began to shift. Nicole realized that within the definition of “healthy,” there is room for all foods, way beyond just salads and green juice and kale, and that limiting entire food groups was not sustainable. It was SAD! And so, her love affair with recipe development began.

Nicole spent hours upon hours in the kitchen creating easy, accessible, and super flavorful recipes, with lots of healthy desserts included. In October 2022, her first cookbook, Love To Eat, was published with Ten Speed Press/Penguin Randomhouse. This book served to inspire others heal their relationship with food and love to eat. These days, Nicole is serving up vibrant, elevated dishes to her social media community of over 3M combined and is regularly featured on Good Morning America, Feed Feed, Tastemade, and other large media outlets and publications.

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 10:00:00 -0000

Divorce can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and often, alcohol becomes a coping mechanism. But what happens when you're ready to step off that ride?

What self-care really looks like
Signs that you are using alcohol to cope

How to Effectively Co-Parent with A High-Conflict Ex; with Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq.

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 10:00:00 -0000

Co-parenting with a high-conflict ex is not easy, but it can be done. We know that one reasonable co-parent can make a positive difference in the lives of the children who are being co-parented by one high-conflict parent, but that doesn't make dealing with it any easier.

High-conflict co-parenting can make life incredibly stressful and full of unnecessary tension, which in-turn, rubs off on the kids.

"The key is realizing we have to take a different approach. The secret to managing a high-conflict personality is managing your own anxiety," Bill Eddy says on this episode of Moms Moving On, and on this third visit to our show, Bill shares the secrets and strategies for how to effectively co-parenting with a high-conflict ex, and shares the "4 forget about its," that you definitely need to hear!

"As early as possible you want to learn how to separate dealing with your ex or ex-to-be from getting your needs met emotionally. Don't keep trying to get it from the person who can't give it to you."

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. He serves on the faculty of the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at the Pepperdine University School of Law in California and is a Conjoint Associate Professor with the University of Newcastle Law School in Australia. He has been a keynote speaker and trainer in over 30 U.S. states and 10 countries. In addition to authoring over twenty books, he writes a popular blog on PsychologyToday.com with over five million views.

You're Not Really Divorced Until You Learn How to Do This....: with Codependency Counselor Erika Wright

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 20:16:00 -0000

You may often hear the term "breaking the marital cycle of codependency" but what does that mean and how do you do it? This week, Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by Codependency Counselor Erika Wright to educate listeners on how to recover from co-dependency. Erika turned her own codependency into her passion, and we know you will love what she has to say.

Together, Michelle and Erika will cover:

Letting go of feeling the need to please everyone in order to not ruffle feathers
Breaking generational cycles of co-dependency
Sitting in uncomfortable feelings and emotions
Healing from co-dependency to ensure you have healthy relationships in the future
AND SO MUCH MORE

Erika Wright is a Codependency Counselor who is relentlessly passionate about up-leveling my life and supporting others to do the same. Nothing is more thrilling to her than helping people liberate themselves from the conditioning that perpetuates suffering in their lives.

Her journey to heal her own codependency has generated some of the most valuable material her life has offered. Waking up to the unhelpful and destructive patterns of codependency woven throughout her family, ancestry, and the culture at large has been transformative and has sparked her commitment to support others in their process of healing codependency.

Erika's own healing path and the material her life has offered her is the place from which she counsels others. She is most effective at supporting others when she is sharing authentically from her life experience. Her approach offers a sense of intimacy, directness, relatability, and compassion that she found to be rare among healing professionals.

Check out her next 6 month co-dependency group starting in July.

What NOT To Do in Divorce: with Top Attorney Seth Nelson

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 09:00:00 -0000

We often focus on what you should do during divorce and co-parenting, but this week we are going to focus on what NOT to do. Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by Divorce Attorney Seth Nelson, to have a candid conversation about things to avoid when going through a divorce and starting your co-parenting journey.

Michelle and Seth will take a behind the scenes look at:

How to respond when your ex meets someone new
Picking and choosing your battles on physical items
Putting emotions aside when deciding what is best for your children
Making decisions based on the needs of children vs the parent
AND MUCH MORE!

Seth Nelson is the winner of TAPMPA Magazine’s Top Divorce Attorney 2022 and Super

Lawyer’s Top Attorney 2022. Seth focuses on his client’s interests, and balances reasonable

settlement options with zealous representation. His approachable, empathic, no-nonsense

style allows his clients to clearly understand the law and how it impacts their lives. “I tell clients

what they need to know, even if it’s not what they want to hear,” Seth says. “This way my

clients understand the different potential outcomes and how we are going to get there,

together.”

Seth has been involved in thousands of cases as a lawyer and as a Florida Supreme Court

Certified Family Law Mediator. With his professional and personal life experiences, and his

sound legal judgment, he has a keen ability to bring common sense solutions to difficult

problems. “The complexity of modern life and how it relates to complex divorce litigation,

especially in high-net-worth cases and cases dealing with children, demands a lawyer who has a

diverse set of skills,” Seth says.

Finally, Seth understands that the legal system cannot solve all issues that families deal

with in a divorce. That is why he hosts his podcast, How to Split a Toaster, which gives non-

legal practical suggestions for anyone who is contemplating, going through or has completed a

divorce. Episodes include, “Now You Are Alone” and “But What About the Dog” and “Post-

divorce Dating.” In its seventh season, it is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Seth was divorced when his child was very young and can relate to his clients’ issues. HE

confesses, “I am a self-proclaimed workaholic because divorce doesn’t conveniently happen

between 9 to 5, and I like to be there for my clients.” However, when he is not working, he

enjoys recharging his batteries by spending time with his son, being on or around the water and

playing with his two mini-dachshunds, known as “The Hots.”

Education: University of Florida, J.D. (2001);

University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, B.S. (1992)

Moms Moving On (Unfiltered): Tips for How to Make Summer Co-Parenting Easier; with co-host Jess Evans

Co-Parenting does not end when the school year does, but what happens in summer? As parents, we know how important it is to give your children consistency year-round. This week on Unfiltered, Michelle and Jess give their breakdown on how to handle summer break while letting your kids be kids.

AND MORE!

Jess is a single mom of two, Michelle's assistant and lead coach at Moms Moving On. She has worked alongside Michelle for years and takes a child centered approach to co-parenting. Jess was a SAHM while going through her divorce in 2018 and the thought of spending time away from her kids broke her heart. She quickly learned that it isn't always about the quantity of time spent with her kids, rather the quality. Her and her children live in Wisconsin and love everything the Midwest has to offer. As a family, they enjoy watching football, playing golf, getting outside and creating fun memories together. When Jess is not with her kids, she is spending time with her new partner, golfing and enjoying time with her girlfriends. As a child of divorce who has no relationship with her father, Jess wanted to ensure her children grew up having a strong relationship with both of their parents.

Moms Moving On (Unfiltered): Disneyland Parenting; Maybe it Isn't All Bad; with co-host Jess Evans

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 09:00:00 -0000

We're sure you've heard the term "Disneyland Parent" from friends, family or maybe even your lawyer. What exactly is a Disneyland parent, and is it really a terrible thing for your children? This week on Unfiltered, Michelle and Jess share their insight on Disneyland parenting and their experiences both personally and in coaching.

Together they will cover:

What is a Disneyland parent
Letting go of control in co-parenting
Shifting your perspective that maybe this could be helpful for your co-parent in the beginning
AND MUCH MORE

Jess is a single mom of two, Michelle’s assistant and lead coach at Moms Moving On. She has worked alongside Michelle for years and takes a child centered approach to co-parenting. Jess was a SAHM while going through her divorce in 2018 and the thought of spending time away from her kids broke her heart. She quickly learned that it isn’t always about the quantity of time spent with her kids, rather the quality. Her and her children live in Wisconsin and love everything the Midwest has to offer. As a family, they enjoy watching football, playing golf, getting outside and creating fun memories together. When Jess is not with her kids, she is spending time with her new partner, golfing and enjoying time with her girlfriends. As a child of divorce who has no relationship with her father, Jess wanted to ensure her children grew up having a strong relationship with both of their parents.

Single Motherhood: Easing Into Your New Life and Dating After Divorce; with guest Jade Sklaver

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Divorce can turn life as you know it upside down, but when the dust settles and you are ready to navigate this new chapter, we are here to help. This week Jade Sklaver returns to Moms Moving On to discuss adjusting to your new life after divorce with Michelle Dempsey-Multack. Michelle and Jade will dive into:

Knowing when you are ready to date again
Taking the time to heal before beginning to date
Finding your work/life balance in single motherhood
How to explain new relationships to your children
AND MUCH MORE!

Working at a few major labels after graduating, Sklaver found herself being hired by Norma Kamali as her right hand person in design and production. The opening on the team proved to be an invaluable opportunity and would ultimately shape her future. Sklaver gained experience working with factories, fabrics, and design in addition to learning product development and production. After another corporate fashion position, and marriage, Sklaver made her way to South Florida and had her daughter, Liv Jaymes. Liv became the inspiration for what came next: StyleChild.

While pregnant with Liv and yearning for a passion project, Sklaver started building the foundation for what is now StyleChild, a kid's shoe company specializing in functional and stylish shoes at affordable prices. The business started with reselling cute and trendy "no label" sneakers and as popularity grew, Sklaver knew she needed a brand of her own to stand behind. After a major life change, Jade decided to take a leap of faith and commit to work directly with the factory to design, manufacture, and produce sneakers under her own label StyleChild. Since then, StyleChild has grown into over 25 exclusive styles, retails in stores all across the country and in Canada and has a highly trafficked website. Most recently, Jade and her small team opened a by-appointment (virtual and in-person) showroom and warehouse in Boca Raton, Florida which has given her customers a personalized shopping experience - especially important during the pandemic.

Dedicated to being the best mother and entrepreneur, Jade feels passionate that others can have that same work-life balance and do something they love. She recently launched a Kicks Starter affiliate program that allows other mothers to start their own business selling the StyleChild label in specific markets.

Doing Divorce On Your Own Terms: with guest Suzanne Vickberg

Mon, 29 May 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Are you moving on after divorce and not sure where to start? You NEED to listen to this episode Moms Moving On. Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by Dr. Suzanne Vickberg to educate listeners on designing a divorce that works for you. Divorce is not a one size fits all, and Michelle and Suzanne will take a deep dive into:

Doing what works for you in divorce
Getting creative when creating a parenting plan
Not letting outside influence change what YOU want and need
AND SO MUCH MORE!!

Dr. Suzanne Vickberg is a social-personality psychologist, certified coach, and divorce revolutionary. She is the author of Divorce by Design: What if Staying or Leaving Aren’t Your Only Options.

Suzanne is an enthusiast for finding creative solutions to life's thorny challenges, divorce being among the thorniest of all. Thirteen years after the end of her marriage, Suzanne, her ex-husband, his new wife, and their kids are still a family, and they all live in the same house together. They weren’t shattered by the end of their marriage. Instead, their family is fortified. Suzanne’s ex is not her enemy, and his new partner is not a threat. They are both her allies. Their divorce is not a tragedy or a failure. Indeed, it just may be their greatest accomplishment. Although Suzanne and her ex-husband decided to end their marriage, they have never stopped nurturing their family.

Suzanne has written the book Divorce by Design from her own lived experience as someone who has created a better divorce, but also as a psychologist with expertise in creative problem-solving. She developed this expertise working at Deloitte, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious consulting firms, where she coaches leaders and helps teams tackle their toughest business challenges.

Suzanne has earned a PhD in social-personality psychology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, as well as an MBA from the Stern School of Business at New York University. She is a trained professional coach, certified by the Coactive Training Institute and the International Coaching Federation. Her other books include Business Chemistry: Practical Magic for Crafting Powerful Work Relationships and The Breakthrough Manifesto: 10 Principles to Spark Transformative Innovation (forth coming), both co-authored with Kim Christfort. Suzanne is intrigued by the many ways we can integrate empathy and creative problem-solving into our work, our lives, and our relationships. These are her favorite topics to think, talk, and write about.

Although she lives in New Jersey, Suzanne has strong Minnesota roots. When she can get to the woods, mountains, or a lake, those are her happy places. She’s an unapologetic introvert, so if she’s not out in nature, she’s probably on her sofa with her books, her space heater, and her dog, Lucy. Of course, she sometimes ventures into the world of other humans, to do something fun with her kids, hang out with friends, or volunteer in her community. Those moments bring her joy. So does arriving back home.

Thriving After Divorce: How to Build Back Better After Divorce; with guest, Ilyssa Panitz

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Divorce can give you a chance to regain your power and find yourself again. This week Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by divorce journalist Ilyssa Panitz to help women let the past be the past and move forward in their new beautiful life. Michelle and Ilyssa open up about:

Doing the work to see what you are made of
Finding affirmations through music
Sometimes change can be good
Becoming the "victor" vs the "victim" in divorce
AND SO MUCH MORE

Ilyssa Panitz is the “only” Divorce Journalist in the media industry solely and “exclusively” committed to covering every angle of this topic so others can navigate this major life transition.

Ilyssa writes a divorce column for “Authority Magazine” on Medium and has also been a contributing reporter/writer for a number of different outlets on the topic of “divorce.”

Ilyssa also serves as the Content/Editorial Producer for The National Association of Divorce Professionals and was the former Co-Host of “All Things Divorce” on Clubhouse.

On July 31, 2021, Ilyssa was able to reach an even wider audience through her role as Creator, Writer, Producer and Host of a nationally syndicated & live streaming radio show called, “The Divorce Hour with Ilyssa Panitz” that airs every Saturday and Sunday on CRN Digital Talk Radio and then on Spotify, Google Podcasts, iTunes, Google Home, Alexa, Amazon Music and Amazon Audible.

Ilyssa’s prior experience as a Reporter/Producer was for leading media outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, 1010 WINS Radio (NY), WCBS-AM, New York-1 News, Westwood One, Star Magazine, Closer Magazine, and Meredith Publishing.

Among the major news events that she has covered are The Tony Awards, The MTV Movie Awards, the Television Network Upfronts, the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, The September 11th Terrorist Attacks, The NBA Finals, and the 1994/1995 Major League Baseball Strike.

While Ilyssa was front and center on a wide array of media assignments, she is perhaps best known for launching major entertainment publications, producing hundreds of “Celebrity at Home” photo shoots, and sitting down with some of the biggest names in Hollywood for exclusive, one-on-one interviews.

The evolution from Hollywood to divorce stems from Ilyssa's own personal experience with the divorce process and noticing no one else in the media industry was covering this subject on a daily basis.

Being the innovator that she is, Ilyssa decided to fill this void by starting and developing the “Divorce Beat” to help people survive and thrive from this life-alerting shift.

The Key to Surviving Co-Parenting: How to Manage Your Expectations to Thrive in Co-Parenting; with guest Elisha Alcantara

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 10:00:00 -0000

"How will I survive co-parenting? "One of the most common questions when transitioning into your life post-divorce. This week Elisha Alcantara from Hello Divorce joins Michelle Dempsey-Multack to discuss managing your expectations as you navigate divorce and co-parenting. Michelle and Elisha will educate listeners on:

Talking about divorce in a destigmatized light
Making decisions based upon the needs of your children vs your ex-partner
Understanding that your co-parent will rise higher than before to take care of your children
Managing your emotions and working through triggers as they arise
AND MUCH MORE

Elisha is an entrepreneur who has started real estate companies, a construction firm, a non-profit focused on housing homeless families, and most recently has been writing about life during and after divorce with Hello Divorce.

After 15 years with her spouse, she went through a divorce that she thought would gut her and ruin life as she knew it. But that wasn't at all what happened. While she did lose everything that was in her former life...it turned out it was for the betterment of her future life.

Through her failures in business and life, she has learned how to live from the inside out instead of from the outside in. She understands the life-altering difference this makes and is passionate to share this with others in the hopes they will live a calmer, more fulfilled life. She lives in Portland, OR with her two bright and beautiful kiddos Grace and Bradley, and she’s the kind of mom who’ll hold a tarantula just to make her kids happy.

Whatever you’re secretly feeling or going through, you can live a happier, more connected, more confident life by looking inside and living from there. She's a "come as you are" kind of gal and believes anyone can start living the life they imagine once they take responsibility for their choices, actions, and responses.

More people will be considering divorce this month than any other time of the year.

purposeful lives.

Anxiety Disorders, Trauma (single-incident and complex), Grief, as well as Couples and

Family Therapy. He has received specialized training in Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT),

gripping affinity for working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as

underlies his commitment to integrating cutting-edge research and professional

collaboration to foster therapeutic engagement by populations who have formerly been

marginalized by the mental health profession.

needs of individuals in early recovery and their family members. He has been invited to

Financial Abuse and Divorce: Signs your Spouse is Hiding Money: with guest Tracy Coenen

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 09:00:00 -0000

What is financial abuse in a marriage and what can you do about it? This week forensic accountant Tracy Coenen joins Michelle Dempsey-Multack to educate listeners on the signs of financial abuse and what to do if you feel your spouse is hiding money.

In this episode of Moms Moving On, Tracy shares:

What to do when you are being controlled financially
Educating yourself on money as an adult
Relying on family and friends when starting over financially
Identifying red flags that your spouse is hiding money
AND MUCH MORE

Tracy has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn’t always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans. Tracy created the Divorce Money Guide to help people find the money in divorce.

Tracy is known as a no nonsense forensic accountant who delivers the “real deal” to her clients. Let’s face it: When your money is on the line, there is zero time to dance around an issue. Her passion lies in helping people find answers. Answers to questions like “Where did our money go?”

After years of watching those who couldn’t justify the cost of a forensic accountant lose thousands of dollars in their divorces, Tracy knew she had to create a solution. That’s why she put her heart into creating the Divorce Money Guide. Tracy takes divorcing people step-by-step through the process of gathering and analyzing their financial documents to see whether there is money missing.

Thriving After Infidelity: How Two Friends Turned Their Husbands' Infidelity into Divorced Woman Success with guests TH and Jessica of ExExperts;

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0000

Infidelity in a marriage can cause shock and heartbreak. This week Michelle Dempsey-Multack sits down with TH Irwin and Jessica Klingbaum of exEXPERTS, two friends who both experienced infidelity in their marriage's days apart. They discuss how finding out their spouses' affairs helped them in the long run. TH and Jessica leaned on each other during a difficult time and used their experience to create exEXPERTS to help and empower other women.

Jessica Klingbaum is an Emmy-nominated former TV producer for national networks, including CBS News, FOX, and CNBC, among others. After a prestigious 20+ year career, she left the industry to spend more time with her family and found herself pursuing a passion in essential oils, ultimately becoming a Certified Aromatherapist. She co-founded exEXPERTS in 2020, the premiere online digital platform for anyone and everyone touched by divorce. exEXPERTS’ free resources include a website, podcast called “Divorce, etc…”, articles, and tips and advice through social media channels, all with the mission to educate, support, and empower those like herself who have been affected by divorce.

Jessica is an eternal optimist who always sees the glass half full. In the little free time she has, she enjoys time with family and friends, snowboarding, traveling and eating as much candy as possible. She has called NYC her home for more than twenty-five years and currently resides in Greenwich Village with her two children. Jessica holds a BA from Brandeis University and a Masters in Broadcast Journalism from New York University.

T.H. Irwin began her career at a boutique market research firm in NYC and after earning her Masters Degree in Marketing from Fordham Graduate School of Business, she went to advance her career at Arthur Andersen Consulting. After her separation, she pivoted and discovered her talent for creating community-driven media events. In her role as Director of Experiential Events for USA Today, she scaled hyper-local, original events to a national level. In 2020 she co-founded exEXPERTS, a free online resource to help women of all ages navigate their divorce - a community she wishes she'd had during her own divorce journey more than a decade ago.

She loves adventure and the outdoors which she proved on a Kilimanjaro climb, her non-profit work with organizations like the Center for Hope & Safety and United Breast Cancer Foundation, and nurturing her mind and body on a daily basis. She lives in Bergen County with her amazing boyfriend, children and dog Daisy.

Finding your Passion After Divorce: How to Spend Your Kid-Free Time with Things That Fill your Cup; with guest Jade Sklaver

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 09:00:00 -0000

When we become parents, we never imagine spending time away from our children. Divorce changes that, and many of us are left with 50% of our time without them. This week, Jade Sklaver joins Moms Moving On to discuss how she turned her time away from her daughter into a successful business. Jade and I touch on the importance of finding a hobby and your purpose during your time away from your children.

As a University of Florida graduate, Jade Sklaver, founder of StyleChild, majored in Public Relations and pursued many fashion related internships while still in school. After completing rotations at Barney's New York, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and major fashion PR firms, she had no doubt that was the path she was headed down. Working at a few major labels after graduating, Sklaver found herself being hired by Norma Kamali as her right hand person in design and production. The opening on the team proved to be an invaluable opportunity and would ultimately shape her future. Sklaver gained experience working with factories, fabrics, and design in addition to learning product development and production. After another corporate fashion position, and marriage, Sklaver made her way to South Florida and had her daughter, Liv Jaymes. Liv became the inspiration for what came next: StyleChild.

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 09:00:00 -0000

"When is it okay to start dating after divorce?" is one of the questions I am asked on a pretty frequent basis, and just like there is no one-size-fits-all method to relationships, it's the same for dating after divorce.

"Know your why," Jen shares, and also urges listeners to avoid seeking validation through the dating process. That's a big no-no in the dating after divorce playbook.

Jennifer Hurvitz is known for her no-nonsense approach to all things relationships and is proud to say she's made quite the career out of pretty disastrous circumstances...her own divorce.

What Being a Child of Divorce Teaches You About Life, Marriage, and Parenting; with Tara Clark of @ModernMomProbs

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 10:00:00 -0000

"How will divorce affect my kids?" is one of the first questions any parent will ask themselves when deciding to end a marriage. While we don't have a crystal ball to predict the future, we do have endless resources to turn to for guidance, advice, and information related to how divorce affects children.

The best resources in my opinion are the grown up children of divorce; the adults who can look back and clearly identify what affected them, how it felt, and how it has shaped them today.

On this episode of Moms Moving On, we hear from good friend and talented Author, Entrepreneur, and Instagram personality Tara Clark, of @modernmomprobs. Tara experienced divorce as a child and gives us an open and honest take of how divorce affected her life both as a child and now as a mother.

Tara Clark is an author, content creator, mother, and the Founder of Modern Mom Probs.

Tara began her career at Nickelodeon, overseeing social media for Nick Jr. and Nick@Nite. After becoming a mom and recognizing a hole in the online space for moms to authentically connect, she used her social media skill-set to launch Modern Mom Probs in 2017. She has since amassed a following of over 700K women, solidifying herself as a humorous and authentic voice of a generation of women, and her brand as a go-to resource for modern moms.

Tara published her first parenting book, “Modern Mom Probs: A Survival Guide for 21st Century Mothers” in April of 2021. Additionally, her work has been featured in prominent publications including Buzzfeed, Today, Parents.com, Romper and Yahoo Life.

As an advocate for maternal mental health support, Tara held the honor of being the 2021 Spokesperson of The Blue Dot Project, the national symbol for maternal mental health survivor-ship, support, and solidarity.

In late 2021, Tara launched Modern Mom Style Box, a clothing rental subscription service that gives members access to unlimited styles for one flat monthly fee.

Tara holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Villanova University and an MBA from Metropolitan College of New York in Media Management. She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and son.

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 14:53:00 -0000

If you've ever felt down about your divorce, confided in your feelings to someone else, and you were met with a response of "Look on the bright side!" or "It could be worse, you'll get over it!" you know how infuriating it feels to have your feelings shut down. That's called toxic positivity, Toxic positivity involves dismissing negative emotions and responding to distress with false reassurances rather than empathy. It comes from feeling uncomfortable with negative emotions

But there's no place for that in divorce. You are entitled to your feelings after divorce, because as we've all learned, you need to feel them to heal them.

That's where our guest Whitney Goodman, of the popular Instagram account @sitwithwhit comes in. Whitney is a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of the new book "Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real In a World Obsessed with Positive Thinking.

Whitney Goodman is the radically honest psychotherapist behind the hugely popular Instagram account @sitwithwhit, the author of Toxic Positivity, and the owner of The Collaborative Counseling Center, a private therapy practice in Miami, FL. She helps people who want to improve their relationships and emotional awareness.

There are 20-25 million divorced people between the ages of 35-65, meaning that the majority of them are divorced over 40.

Protecting Your Children from High-Conflict, Alienating Behavior While Co-Parenting; with Filmmaker Ginger Gentile

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 10:00:00 -0000

Just a quick note before we get into today's episode. The topic of parental alienation has been a bit of a controversial one in the world of divorce and co-parenting. It's important to remember that the views, ideas, beliefs, and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guest, and not necessarily shared by the Moms Moving On team.

That said, both mothers and fathers alike have found themselves on the receiving end of hurtful comments made by the other parent to the children. Children almost never escape the wrath of a high-conflict co-parent, and in some extreme cases, this type of behavior can result in full alienation of the other parent.

That's where our guest, Ginger Gentile, comes in.

Ginger Gentile is an activist documentary filmmaker dedicated to addressing ignored issues and shedding light on solutions. Her film, Erasing Family, talks about the harsh realities of parental alienation which premiered at Lincoln Center in 2019 and showcased the trauma children face in high-conflict custody battles.

Ginger passionately advocates for those who don't have a voice. You can learn more about Ginger, here.

Healing from Betrayal and Learning to Trust Again After Divorce with Gilza Fort-Martinez, LMFT

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 21:49:00 -0000

If you are not only processing the pain of divorce but also reeling from the pain of betrayal after divorce, you might be feeling like learning to trust again after divorce and infidelity is an uphill battle. This is why I consulted with Miami-based marriage and family therapist Gilza Fort-Martinez, on her strategies for helping clients overcome trust issues after an affair.

"Betrayal is a loss. It's a grieving process that happens from being hit with something that was very often unexpected, Gilza Fort-Martinez says. "Most of the time, people are somewhat blindsided."

But there IS hope, Gilza shares, and she also shares her tips for how to feel hopeful again after a divorce that ended because of a betrayal, too.

A graduate of University of Miami, Gilza is the founder and CEO of Resolution Counseling Center, a private practice in Miami, Florida. Her passion for helping individuals improve their lives drives her to continuously ﬁnd ways to reach the community, which is why when she’s not working directly with individuals and couples, she can be found leading a workshop or lecturing on a wide range of topics including stress management, building intimacy, improving communication effectiveness, inﬁdelity and forgiveness, and navigating life transitions

Follow Gilza on Instagram, here.

How to Leave Your Marriage When You Are a Stay-at-Home Mom and Worried About Your Financial Future

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 15:21:00 -0000

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

Everything You Need to Know About Mediation (and How It Can be Helpful Before Divorce As Well) with Attorney and Mediator Dori Shwirtz

Thu, 26 Aug 2021 15:05:00 -0000

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.

Either way, mediation is awesome and so is Dori. Learn more about her, here.

How to Rock Life, New Relationships, and How to Make the Most of Your Time After Divorce

Thu, 19 Aug 2021 12:27:00 -0000

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.

We want the amicable divorce, the friendly "I want the best for you," relationship with our exes because we know that will ultimately benefit our kids the most.

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 16:15:00 -0000

Co-parenting a child with special needs take a little extra care and attention, and so does making sure your divorce papers and parenting plan reflect that.

In this episode of Moms Moving On, Rebecca Amster-Cantor, a therapist, attorney, and the GO-TO for all things divorce and family related here in Miami, helps break down how to handle divorce and co-parenting when you have a child with special needs. We spoke about a wide range of topics including:

- How to ensure both parents follow the IEP

- How to ensure the child's needs are met in both homes

- What to do if they're not met, and so much more.

Always interested in children’s issues, Rebecca opened her own law practice in 2003, concentrating on the needs of children in Family Court. She rapidly began building her caseload and her reputation as a strong voice for children as a Guardian ad litem in Dissolution cases.

Rebecca returned to school and received her Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. Ever the academic achiever, Rebecca was the first student in Nova’s MFT program to receive a 100% on the Comprehensive exam.

Rebecca’s practice, as always, remains very focused on meeting the psychological and emotional needs of children, and of families in Family Court. Rebecca finds great joy and personal satisfaction in helping families seek new function and practical solutions so that parents can move on from the fatigue of litigation and move forward to enjoying their children every day.

Tips for How to Handle the Divorce Process (and Your Ex's Ego) with Family Law Attorney Seth Nelson

Fri, 16 Jul 2021 01:18:00 -0000

The divorce process may seem scary, but top Tampa family law attorney Seth Nelson of Nelson Koster Family Law and Mediation is sharing his tips for how to make an otherwise unhappy process much less dramatic.

On this episode of Moms Moving On, Seth and I chatted about:

- Making the divorce process work for you

- Dealing with high-conflict, ego-driven exes

- What's worth a fight, and what really could be let go

One of the best tips Seth shared on this episode? "Live your life, not your divorce."

Seth Nelson is a Tampa based family lawyer known for devising creative solutions to difficult problems.

“I have been through a divorce and have a young child. As difficult as the divorce process can be, especially when there are kids involved, things will get better,” he said when asked about the divorce process.

At Nelson Koster, the motto is “Helping good people through difficult times.” This is Mr. Nelson’s aim in every case, though how he works to achieve it varies greatly with each family’s unique situation.

From an early age, he has always wanted to help people. After law school he found that he could do the greatest good by helping people through one of the most difficult times of their lives. Being a divorcee himself, as well as a father, he understands what you’re going through.

Mr. Nelson focuses on Florida divorce law, Florida family law, and Florida family law mediation. He earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Florida’s College of Law. After law school, he clerked for the Honorable John C. Godbold, Senior Circuit Judge for the United States Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Returning home to Tampa, he then worked for other Florida law firms before establishing his own practice in South Tampa. Since 2008, he has been the sole shareholder of Nelson Koster.

Should You Change Your Name After Divorce? The Hitchswitch Website Makes It Easy to Be Out with the Old and in with the New You.

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 21:26:00 -0000

It's the first question on every divorcing woman's mind: Should I change my name after divorce? While this is an extremely personal decision, the truth is, if you do go ahead and decide to drop your ex's last name, doing so has traditionally been such a hassle. Until Hitchswitch. Hitchswitch makes changing your name after divorce as easy as clicking on the website, filling out a few forms, paying a very low fee, and voila - name changed, without having to wait in line for hours at the social security office downtown. What's more? They can do the same for your passport too - talk about a win, win! Here are the details... Since the founding of HitchSwitch, the team has had the pleasure of guiding hundreds of thousands of newlyweds through the name change process. HitchSwitch currently offers three unique name change services: 1. Platinum ($99.99): Our team will ship printed name change applications that have been auto-filled with your basic information, a set of corresponding instructions that will explain how to submit each application, and pre-paid envelopes for any steps that can be submitted through the mail. Platinum clients also receive a dedicated account manager and a free passport photo (which will be redeemed through our sister site "NewPassportPhoto.com"). 2.

The Important Lessons We Learn From Our Exes with Author Karen Stanley

Fri, 28 May 2021 13:57:00 -0000

The second we can shift our perspectives from how much our first marriages hurt us to how much we learned from them instead, a whole new world opens up for us divorced women. This is the trick that Karen Stanley, author of Becoming Mrs. Stanley, harnessed back when her first marriage ended, and now she's teaching women all over the world how to use their exes as their greatest teachers.

Karen Stanley is an entrepreneur, professional Mezzo-Soprano, speaker, blogger, yogi, hiker, mom, wife and laugh-way-too-loud-er. As Amazon’s #1 mate seeking, new release author and frequent self-improvement podcast guest, she explains it best herself: “Hi, I’m Karen! I’m not a doctor or a psychologist. I was a single mom for a thousand years (OK, eight), and I finally attracted real love after divorce, bankruptcy, foreclosure and repossession of my car – all while raising two kids alone. After struggling with self-worth and attracting the wrong partner time and time again, I realized if you want to create the life and relationships you’ve always wanted, you must become the person you’ve always wanted to be. As I continued to create and believe my worth, people who didn’t enhance my life were no longer interesting, and I was no longer attracted to them. And, I wasn’t attracting them either. I believe no matter what we’ve gone through, everything we truly want in life is created by first loving and believing in the girl in the mirror. And now I’m sharing the strategies that helped me do that!” She writes a weekly blog on MrsKarenStanley.com and has a weekly-ish newsletter, and you can find her on Instagram @officialmrskarenstanley.

Wed, 26 May 2021 20:59:00 -0000

It's no secret that Frank Catania is everyone's favorite New Jersey House-husband, well, ex-husband. As the world's best ex-better-half to Dolores Catania, the world has watched this couple, who has split up over 20 years due to Frank's admitted infidelity, have each other's backs like its nobody's business.

Not to mention, they co-parent their kids Frank Jr. and Gabby like champs.

After chatting with Dolores a few months back, she insisted I interview Frank to get to the bottom of why men cheat, and why, more particularly, he made the mistake that ended their marriage. He also got candid about how it affected his relationship with his children, and the work he had to do to make things better.

So I asked, he answered, and he also shared some really juicy tidbits about his beautiful relationship with his ex-wife, his future role on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and maybe even a little gossip about some of the other couples on the show - wink, wink. Oh, and let's not forget *that* story about the shore house!

Listen now and don't try to tell me this man isn't a gem - and hasn't learned and grown from his mistakes! WE LOVE YOU, BIG FRANK!

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 17:11:00 -0000

Understanding your triggers can mean the difference between a peaceful life well-lived and living in a constant state of anger and resentment. Does your ex seem to trigger you in all the worst ways, all of the time? Same, or at least this used to be the case, before I really did the work to honor my traumas and truly understand what had the power to trigger me. Like with anything else, when it comes to understanding your triggers, knowledge really is power.

That's why I had Marriage and Family Therapist Dr. Ilene Cohen - 3x award-winning author, and mom - join us to talk about all things related to feeling triggered, how to stop feeling so triggered, and how to make sure your triggers don't ruin your post-divorce and co-parenting life. Trust me, this is good stuff.

Dr. Ilene S. Cohen, Ph.D., is a psychotherapist, author, and mother of two animated young girls. She is one of the most respected voices in the psychology of people-pleasing and navigating the difficulty of living an intentional life while trying to maintain fulfilling relationships. She is the author of 5 books, all of which have received awards and 5-star ratings from her readers. These include her most famous book, When It’s Never About You, and her new book, Anxious for Answers. She’s a regular contributor to Psychology Today, with dedicated readers numbering in the millions. Her books and therapy practice are fueled by a passion for helping people achieve their goals, build a strong sense of self, and lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 18:05:00 -0000

Maybe you know her as the beautiful woman who first stepped onto the NJ housewife scene back in 2016. Or maybe you're intrigued by her amazing ability to stay out of the drama that doesn't involve her. Or maybe you're drawn in by her fierce loyalty and badass sense of humor. For us divorced mamas though, it's always been her fierce commitment to co-parenting and putting her kids first that has kept her on our short list of favorite Bravo housewives. Her kids being the reason, she says, for choosing to let her ex-husband live with her despite his infidelity that ruined their marriage. "Someone's always gotta be the bigger person in divorce," Dolores shared. And that might be the best co-parenting advice we've received yet. Dolores Catania is a mother, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and the living embodiment of a modern-day housewife. She has worked tirelessly to ensure a cohesive family unit with her two children and ex-husband turned business partner, Frank. With her daughter, Gabrielle, studying in veterinary school and her son, Frankie, away at college aspiring to be an investment banker, “Dolo” keeps herself more than busy with work, her many rescue pets and by fueling her passion for helping the community. Staying true to her humble beginnings, she earned the key to her hometown of Paterson, NJ for her deep commitment to improving the city. Her involvement with organizations such as St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, Maimonides Breast Center, Halfway Home Animal Rescue Team, Angels for Animals Network, multiple local women’s and children’s shelters helps her live out her motto of “everyone has something to give.”

Getting Divorced? Here's Why You'll Want to Consider a Temporary Parenting Plan - with New York Family Lawyer Lauren Hunt, Esq.

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 18:13:00 -0000

The divorce process can be a lengthy one, so what does that mean for the children in the meantime. Who will they be with? When? WHERE?!

This is where temporary parenting plans become a game changer. A temporary parenting plan or custody agreement contains information about where your child will live and how you and the other parent will care for your child during the divorce proceedings. A temporary plan lasts until the divorce is finalized and the permanent parenting plan is in place. But wait, there's more, and this is why I invited family law attorney Lauren Hunt on the podcast to share her knowledge on the benefits of a temporary parenting plan.

Lauren is an Attorney / Mediator in New York State and has practiced exclusively in the field of Family / Matrimonial Law for over a decade. She understands that family problems must be resolved quickly, cost-effectively, and in a way that addresses the client’s short- and long-term needs. Lauren works to craft individualized solutions that are practical, realistic, and account for each client’s unique facts.

Her practice includes direct representation in a wide variety of family law matters and she also maintains a state-wide mediation practice. Whether the matter is resolved in court or at the mediation table, Lauren works with her clients to ensure that their voices are heard and values understood. She truly enjoys the work she does and the clients that she has had the privilege to represent.

Lauren was named to the Super Lawyers list in the area of Family Law from 2014-2020 and has received several other awards in recognition of her professionalism and advocacy in the areas of Family and Matrimonial Law.

Lauren's other involvements in the legal and non-legal community include: serving on several committees for the New York State Bar Association, sitting on the Board of the Shaker Heritage Society, and volunteering her time as both a foster parent and pro bono legal counsel for a local dog rescue.

Her greatest treasure in life, though, is her family. In her downtime, she can be found exploring a new hiking trail with her husband and son, cooking up big Sunday breakfasts, and dancing to “Baby Shark” for the millionth time with her son – Jack.

What to Expect at Mediation (and the Benefits of Making It to the Mediation Table) with Divorce Attorney and Mediator Alison Spirito, Esq.

Sun, 13 Dec 2020 21:12:00 -0000

The divorce process does not have to be an ugly one, even when it involves parentage and financial decisions. That's where today's guest, divorce attorney and family Mediator Alison Spirito, comes in.

As a divorce attorney, Alison realized very quickly the benefit of ditching the divorce battle and focusing on coming to an agreement designed completely by the couple looking to uncouple. It's called mediation, and it's far less scary than it sounds.

Worried that you can't make it to the mediation table because of covid? Have no fear - online mediation is a common speciality for Alison, providing a comfort and convenience for the couples she works with.

Alison Spirito is a divorce & family mediator and attorney in Los Angeles, California. She helps families stay out of court and create sustainable settlement agreements that actually work for them. She enjoys working with parents, learning about their children and financial goals, and educating them on their options so they can make informed decisions that are right for them and for their families.

Alison is an executive committee member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Barristers/Young Attorneys Section, where serves as a liaison to the Family Law Section. Alison is also co-chair of the South Bay Bar Association’s Family Law Section.

Alison believes that court-free approaches are the future of resolving family disputes and has written several articles published on the benefits of mediation and collaborative divorce, co-parenting, the mental health of children in divorce, and why millennials are drawn to the mediation and collaborative approaches.

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 17:08:00 -0000

Divorce can be a tricky process, of course, but what happens if your spouse has substance abuse issues or is battling mental health struggles and you fear leaving them because you don't want them to have time alone with the kids? That's where Rebecca Amster Cantor, Esq. MS comes in.

What sets Rebecca apart when dealing with this topic is that fact she is both a family lawyer and a marriage and family therapist. Her wisdom, strategy, and compassion for the children and families involved in the divorce process put her at the top of her game. What's more, her attitude towards divorce is extremely refreshing.

Rebecca was raised in Philadelphia, PA, where she learned to love cheesesteaks and Italian water ice. Always a high academic achiever, Rebecca attended Cornell University, graduating in 1997 with a Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies. Trading snowstorms for tropical breezes, Rebecca moved to Miami to attend the University of Miami School of Law, graduating a proud member of the Cane family in 2000.

Healing After Divorce with the Founder of HEALIN, Karen Millon

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 19:45:00 -0000

Healing after divorce is not a linear process. Healing after divorce can sometimes feel impossible. That's why I interviewed Author and podcast host Karen Millon to talk about what true healing after a divorce looks like, and the secret to her own amazing divorce - even after leaving her marriage of 17 years for another man.

Karen, after 17 years of marriage, found herself in a predicament - she had fallen in love with another man, and knew she had to end her marriage in order to be truly happy. She boldly tells the tale of her divorce journey in this episode, and what led her to writing her first book, "An Amazing Divorce: What you Can Do For Yourself, For Each Other and for The Children to Achieve it."

More about Karen:

Karen Millon is a successful business entrepreneur where among several accomplishments she was the Co-founder and President of LifeLike BioTissue, Inc. in Canada. At the end of the winter of 2013, while traveling for work, and completely out of the blue, she met her soulmate. He was her perfect match in every single marker, but there was just one problem… she was married to a good man with two small children. In a matter of one day, she made the difficult decision to leave her husband of 13 years (18 years together). This story had the potential to become another cliché marked by betrayal, anger, and hostility. But instead, she and her ex-husband created something amazing.

Listen to Karen's podcast, Healin with Karen Millon, here.

Divorce is up 34% during the Coronavirus pandemic which has made for a very delayed divorce process for some people. Julie Burton, writer and all around hilarious mama, was not one of these people, as she recently finalized her divorce - from home - hence why she was without pants.

Is Divorce Messing Up My Kids? How to Keep Your Kids Emotionally Healthy Through a Divorce According to Certified Parent Educator MIhaela Plugarasu

Sat, 08 Aug 2020 21:15:00 -0000

Is divorce messing up my kids? Can the trauma of divorce on our children be avoided?

This may be the top question in all of our minds as we begin our divorce journeys. We want to shield them, protect them, and find a way to make it through so that they remain unscathed, and, if we're being honest with ourselves, that's the goal of all parents - divorced AND married.

This is why I invited Professor and Author of "Conscious Parenting of Your Toddler," Mihaela Plugarasu on for a candid chat about "messing up our kids." Having lived through a tumultuous divorce herself, and working through the effects of it on her own child, there is no better resource for this topic!

Mihaela Plugarasu, M.S., is an educator with more than 15 years of leadership, self- development and teaching experience. She is a mom, a co-parent and a college professor in Miami, Florida, who lectures in the United States, Europe and Latin America. She became very intentional about conscious parenting ever since her son was born and her life changed profoundly as a result of looking within. Mihaela is the first certified parent educator for parenting –by- connection in Florida, by Hand in Hand Parenting. In this role, she facilitates parent support groups, workshops, classes and individual work with families. Mihaela uses her ABC of conscious parenting to help parents get started on this journey: self-Awareness, Be-ing Present and Connection. She teaches parents to use listening tools and self – inquiry to connect with themselves and their children, especially when parenting feels hard. Mihaela is the founder of www.parentingmadeconscious.com, a community of conscious parents who come together for the purpose of learning, personal evolution and creating a connection-based relationship with their children.

Getting Over a Gut-Wrenching Heartbreak? Instagram's 'Heartbreak Coach' Keishorne Scott, Talks Us Through the Pain!

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 22:10:00 -0000

After a heartbreak that shook him to his core, Keishorne Scott did what all of the most emotionally evolved people in this world do best - he turned his pain into purpose, becoming the "Heartbreak Coach," as he's known on social media. Keishorne coaches clients through some of the toughest times of their lives - emotionally traumatic break-ups - and helps them learn the power in healing, shedding, and moving on - for good.

Keishorne got candid with us and gave us some serious insight into what it means to leave a bad relationship for good, and what's waiting for you on the other side when you do. My favorite piece of advice from the episode? It has a little something to do with crying - but I won't spoil the surprise.

Keishorn is also known for his amazingly powerful break-up quotes:

“My heart breaks for anyone who lays in bed at night and wonders why they weren’t good enough for the one person they would give the world to. But here’s the truth, it’s better to break your own heart by walking away than sticking around where love doesn’t exist. Be strong!”

Keishorne Scott is a Brooklyn native; an award winning community activist, bestselling author, speaker, breakup & heartbreak coach, TV Personality, and founder of Your Love Experience Intl.

Mr. Scott has been seen on Forbes, Good Morning America, ABC News, ABC World News Now, MSN.com, Yahoo! tv, Newsday, News 12, Marriage.com, Canarsie Courier, Rolling Out Magazine, and many high profile media outlets.

Helping Co-Parents Communicate Better; One Text, Request for Money, and Calendar-Swap at a Time, with Fayr App Founder Michael Daniels

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 18:22:00 -0000

Co-parenting and communicating? Even oil and water could mix better than that.

The truth is, it's hard to find your groove as co-parents, especially when finding your groove as married parents didn't really work out for you. After personal experience through his own divorce, Michael Daniels realized very quickly that there needed to be a way to improve communication strategies between him and his ex - and then he did the same for the rest of us! This was where the idea for the Fayr app was born, and lucky for the rest of us, it's become the talk of the co-parenting community, especially after Gwyneth Paltrow endorsed the app and became a head advisor for the company.

Fayr will help you communicate constructively, eliminate burdensome legal fees and documentation, and free up your time and resources for what matters most: your children. And the best part? It's useful even if your ex doesn't agree to use it.

Now a little bit about our amazing guest:

As a separated father of two young children, Michael found himself overwhelmed by the legal, financial and emotional costs of divorce on his family. After 20 years in the homebuilding industry, Michael hung up his hard hat to create a tool that would not just improve his family’s life, but would also help the other 55 million divorced co-parents in the US. Despite his success on the Apple tv show "Planet of the Apps" and partnering with Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael's guiding light remains the same: working everyday to be his best self for his kids.

Real Housewives of NYC's Leah McSweeney Shares How Her Co-Parenting Journey Evolved from Angry & Resentful to Strong, Amicable, and Committed

Thu, 16 Jul 2020 17:55:00 -0000

You know her from Bravo's Real Housewives of NYC latest season. You know that she's outspoken, strong, and beautiful. You know that she loves to have a great time. But what you don't know, is that like so many of us, she is a devoted single mother who is steadfastly committed to positive co-parenting. Was it always so positive for her? Of course not, it takes all of us years to get to that positive co-parenting point - even for women as strong as Leah. If you saw Leah's interactions with her daughter's father, Rob, in one of the latest episodes of Real Housewives of NYC, you'd never think that their relationship ever involved resentment, fighting, and sadness. Right now, their relationship is gold, and for lack of a better term, they are GOALS. Hear all of Leah's secrets to maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationships with her daughter's father, and also enjoy her juicy little tidbits about their past (you'll laugh your ass off), in this episode of Moms Moving On. Leah McSweeney is a streetwear pioneer, female entrepreneur, cultural provocateur, influencer, and mother living in New York City. Leah became notorious in New York City for launching Married to the Mob in 2004, one of the first streetwear brands for women, by women. For Leah, MOB was a direct response to the male domination of the streetwear scene at that time, and she set out to prove that women could not only establish themselves as innovators, designers and influencers in the arena, but as consumers as well. She successfully brokered exclusive partnerships for MOB with some of the world’s most desirable brands, like MCM, Kangol, Barbie, colette Paris, Reebok, Burton, and Nike to make MOB a cult classic brand. When she is not building fashion empires, Leah brings her strong female voice and viewpoint to debates about pop culture, feminism, and sex as an advice columnist for Penthouse magazine and the co-host of the popular podcast, Improper Etiquette, as well as a contributor to Hypebae, Office Magazine, and Mass Appeal. As Leah continues to advocate for female empowerment, street culture and creative entrepreneurship, she also leans into lifestyle topics like health, fitness and breaking the stigma around mental health. Leah is currently raising her 12-year-old daughter in New York City. Learn more about Leah, here.

Fri, 22 May 2020 15:34:00 -0000

Pop Quiz: What's the fastest way to drive yourself insane as a co-parent? Yup, you guessed right - it's trying to control what you can't: Such as, all of the things your child does when they're not with you. Sure, it feels completely unnatural as a mom to have no say over what goes on with the child you grew in your body when they're not with you, but, hate to break it to you, that's co-parenting. As long as your kids are safe and out of harm's way, then you need to back off before you make yourself nuts.

In this incredibly informative episode of Moms Moving On, we have Clinical Psychologist Dr. Erika Velez of The Mindful Corner giving us the tools to let go and let live - a co-parent's greatest secret weapon.

Dr. Erika Velez received her doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Child Psychology, where my interest in the parent-child dyad grew. She is located in Miami Lakes, Florida and also host an incredible podcast herself!

Body Image, Self-Confidence, and Learning to Love Your Body Again After a Breakup

Fri, 06 Mar 2020 18:04:00 -0000

You've been with the same partner for years. Your fittest days peaked way before you birthed a few kids. Now you're breaking up, getting divorced, or adjusting to being single again with less than stellar confidence levels. AND worse, you're faced with the gut-wrenching thought of having to be naked in front of someone new after ALL THIS TIME. Ugh!

I get it. For me, this podcast interview with Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Catie Lynch, is personal. Having struggled with my own body issues and eating disorder for years, nothing sparked these bad behaviors up again quite like getting divorced. I placed way too much emphasis on the physical parts of me, convincing myself that I had to be as skinny as possible again in order to find a new relationship.

This was not smart, yet so many of us revert to this thought process in times of stress. The incredible Catie Lynch, who works with countless women on their struggles with body image and eating disorders, helps us all see past the physical, and focus on what really matters - the unique beauty of what makes you, you.

Connect with Catie, here, and learn more about how you can work with her.

Enjoy this episode!

The Benefits of Mediation in the Divorce Process

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 19:46:00 -0000

Think mediation isn't for you? Think again. Aside from helping you save money, mediation has more benefits than you may realize.

This week's guest, mediator Dori Schwirtz breaks down the all of the benefits of mediation for us in a way that makes this process seems like a no-brainer. As a non-practicing Attorney, Dori is the ultimate referee between divorcing partners, as she helps them achieve peace throughout a really tumultuous time. Statistics show that when two parties have the right to make their own agreement, they are more likely to see the agreement through to the end, unlike in a case where the judge decides for them.

Dori has been featured in Forbes, US News, Chicago Tribune, the Daily News, and more. You can connect with her here for more information about the mediation process, and don't forget to check out her great Instagram account, @divorceharmony. Enjoy!
