Dealing with divorce?

In 2019, my marriage ended and I bought a small home on my own. I started thinking about divorce lending since many people – even successful CEOs – may not have been through the home buying or refinance process alone. I know now most divorcing people don’t want to wait. Or they can’t afford to wait! The earlier a mediator or attorney involves me, the better. I set up the loan concurrent to the divorce process so that once the divorce is final, each party can go his or her own way. No waiting around for months, crossing fingers and hoping a refinance or purchase loan will be approved.

When I first started the journey of divorcing a narcissist (sociopath), I felt like I was the only person in the world experiencing such a nightmare. Forced to represent myself in court and conflict avoidant by nature, this chapter of my life tested me at a core level. I now know that there is light on the other side of the darkness - and I am a firm believer that children only need one healthy, stable parent to come through this as unscathed as possible. I invite you to walk with me through my journey of divorcing a narcissist which is likely your journey. This can be an isolating path but it doesn't have to be - I am with you and cheering you on every step of the way. -Tina Swithin

Why join a support group? Finding the support you need is tricky. Demand for emotional support has increased dramatically, but 1:1 therapy can be expensive or intimidating, while online forums or Facebook groups may cause more damage than good. Moreover, taking that first step to seek out support can be incredibly daunting. The Conscious Co-Parent Connection is an accessible way through which anyone struggling with a challenge related to separation, divorce and/or co-parenting can find mutual support.

How to Move on with Your Life without Losing Everything Divorce is the intersection of everything we hold dear in life: love, sex, money, and children. When those are threatened, people get angry. Logical and reasoned decision-making spirals to power plays and finger-pointing, and open warfare. Without a clear head, divorce is a lose-lose for everyone except the lawyers. It doesn’t have to be that way. Family law attorney Raiford Palmer has helped clients find a faster, more peaceful, less costly alternative to “World War III” divorce cases. Unfortunately, the vast majority of divorce lawyers (and their willing clients who don’t know better) fight it out, at great expense to the divorcing spouses. Worse, divorcing parties and their attorneys fail to consider the all-important cost-benefit analysis to assess their client’s chances in a case, so they end up chasing legal strategies that are not worth the trouble. In I Just Want This Done, Raif guides successful professionals, business owners, and entrepreneurs through the divorce process, from filing through resolution. With step-by-step advice, practical tips, and never-do-at-any-cost warnings, I Just Want This Done teaches: What matters and what doesn’t in divorce How to know if reconciliation is possible or not How typical legal advice risks everything How to choose the right divorce lawyer How to be a smart client The 22 myths most people believe about divorce Your 3 case resolution options What the “meta case” is and how to win it The 4 true costs of divorce and how to minimize them How to protect your business and career during divorce The do’s and don’ts of child custody How (and why) to hire a divorce coach How to handle new significant others How to not be painted as a jerk If you want to avoid the divorce spiral, regain control of your future, and keep your kids, money, mind, and happiness, this book is for you.

Marital strife and divorce can be your chance to profoundly transform yourself, your mindset and your relationship with a more harmonious and steady vision. While many of us may be better together, some of us can actually become better apart. What if you emerged from your divorce stronger and more resilient than ever before? Better Apart is the first book to apply the life-changing, healing wisdom of meditation and yoga, combined with practical advice, to help anyone going through the painful and seemingly intractable realities of divorce. Gabrielle Hartley and Elena Brower are warm and caring guides who can help you compassionately part from your partner. Whether your separation is amicable, or your ex is combative, Better Apart can help you find peace, calm, and hope. Blending practical advice from a legal perspective together with spiritual wisdom, Gabrielle and Elena are experts and realists who have created a simple five-step process that uses original meditations, perspective-shifting exercises, and fresh suggestions to help navigate the common legal and emotional pitfalls of divorce. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried yoga or mediation; Gabrielle’s insight buttressed by Elena’s practices and exercises are accessible for all. Together, they show you how to meaningfully shift your mindset and to move forward though any—or all—parts of this emotionally fraught process. Better Apart radically reframes the way couples experience, execute, and recover from when “for better or worse” is no longer an option, and helps you find the road to a new mindset and better life.
