  • Parental alienation is one of the most heartbreaking and complex challenges parents can face during and after divorce. It leaves families fractured and kids caught in the middle, often feeling torn between two parents. In this episode, I dive deep into the court system's current approach to parental alienation and why it so often fails to protect children. If you’ve been alienated from your child or fear it may happen, this conversation is essential for understanding what’s at stake and how you can fight back.

    Together with Michele Locke, Esq., we explore the limitations of the legal system and why parental alienation cases are so hard to navigate, particularly when it comes to jury trials. Michele shares her personal and professional experiences, from her time on the bench handling over 5,000 family law cases to her private practice dealing with the most extreme custody battles. Her unique perspective, having been on both sides of the courtroom and living through divorce herself, sheds light on the deep-rooted issues that plague the system.

    Michele is a former Associate Family Court Judge with over two decades of experience as an attorney, judge, and advocate. She’s fought in the trenches, witnessing firsthand how parental alienation plays out in real life. As a lawyer in Texas, the only state that still allows jury trials in custody cases, Michele brings us behind the scenes with stories from her career, offering valuable insights on how to approach these cases and protect your rights as a parent. Whether you’re currently in the middle of a divorce or simply want to prepare yourself, you’ll walk away with actionable steps and a better understanding of how to navigate this difficult terrain.

  • Part 3 of our series focuses on how to appreciate and benefit from the different voices in your head and their unique perspectives by using “The Brain Huddle”, a practice author Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD refers to as a “Power Tool for Peace”. The four voices or characters generated by four different types of neural tissue in our brains are somewhat stereotypical in their behavioral patterns which means that the more that you are willing to observe their responses/reactions to circumstances the more freedom you (and they) will have to work together to support you in a “whole brain life”

    Listen to Lisa and Karen review our four characters and introduce you to the five steps of the “The Brain Huddle”, a practice that starts with using your breath to calm the stress center of your brain. Once you’ve passed the 90 seconds it takes to step back and out of the stress response you’ll be able to hear and access the unique skills, knowledge, and perspectives of the other parts of your brain that are equally you.

    Lisa and Karen share real life examples of using the Brain Huddle to navigate challenging situations that arise during divorce and in life in general. If you want to move beyond the experience of fear, isolation, and despair that arises during divorce and be more effective and happier in your life, this show is for you.

  • The neurons in our brains are not all alike. Our brains think and feel in four different ways, every one of us. We may be more aware of certain ways than others, and define ourselves by the ways of thinking that are habitual...which does not always serve us well, especially when navigating divorce and post divorce life.

    In today’s show, Part 2 of You’re Not Crazy: Exploring the Voices in Your Head, Lisa and Karen familiarize you with the four distinct thinking and feeling modes in your brain introduced in Part 1. With this knowledge you can begin to understand how you can expand your responses to the many challenging situations that arise during the divorce journey as well as life in general. Imagine, you have undiscovered resources within yourself that can help you to be more resourceful and your life easier to navigate!

  • It is an all too human tendency to react to stressful situations in counterproductive ways, to attack out of intense emotion without a clear purpose, to accommodate long after it's healthy to do so, or to avoid addressing situations that are destructive. While these are rarely wise strategies, they are disastrous strategies prior to, in the midst of, and post divorce.

    During this episode and the following two Team Talks, Karen McMahon and Lisa Brick discuss an alternative approach to attacking, accommodating, and avoiding, help you to understand what part of your brain gets hijacked when you do, and how to be proactive, forward looking, and purposeful. When you use all of your brain, not just the hijacked parts, to handle the challenges that arise around divorce you begin to master your situation.

    These three Team Talks are based on the research and findings of neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor in her 2021 book, Whole Brain Living: the Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Lives.

  • In this episode, we dive into effective strategies for communicating with young children (ages 3-7) during a divorce. We discuss how crucial it is to help children develop their emotional language, allowing them to articulate their feelings. By guiding them to use their words, parents can be a soothing presence, helping their children process emotions rather than suppressing them.

    We also explore the challenging behaviors that can emerge when young children lack a safe space to express their feelings. These behaviors may include regression, sibling conflicts, or even taking on a caretaking role towards a parent. Understanding these signs can help parents respond with empathy and create a nurturing environment for their children.

    Lastly, we emphasize the importance of self-care for parents. By taking care of themselves, parents can ensure they are emotionally available and better equipped to support their young children through this difficult time.

    This episode gives a behind-the-scenes look at Kara's journey through divorce, how she processed several big life transitions and identify shifts in the last few years, why she left law firm life and became a coach, and her coaching philosophy for her clients today.

  • Temporary shared custody is one of the hardest parts of divorce. Both parents experience deep emotions when it comes to their children, making this transition challenging but crucial. It's a time of significant change, and embracing temporary shared parenting can ultimately benefit everyone involved. For the primary parent, adjusting to not being with the kids all the time can be a struggle. They might initially believe that the other parent isn't capable of taking care of the children simply because they haven't had the opportunity before. However, seeing how the other parent engages with the kids can provide valuable insights into co-parenting and the effectiveness of a temporary parenting plan. This period of adjustment also offers the primary parent some 'free time,' which can be used for self-care and personal growth.

    For the primary income earner, experiencing the custody schedule they are fighting for can be eye-opening. They might discover that their work schedule needs adjusting or that they enjoy the increased time with their children and make it a priority. On the other hand, they might realize that sustaining such an arrangement is not feasible due to work or travel obligations. For the kids, spending time alone with each parent helps them see that different parenting styles are not necessarily bad, just different. This transition allows everyone to step out of denial and start experiencing life differently, even while still living under the same roof. Understanding the dynamics of temporary shared custody can lead to a more harmonious co-parenting experience and better outcomes for the entire family.

  • Join us as we unpack the wisdom of *The Codependency Revolution* and learn how to create a future free from the chains of codependency.

    Episode Highlights: Understanding Codependency and Its Origins: Discover how these patterns often form in high-conflict relationships, particularly with narcissistic partners, and learn about the historical and psychological factors contributing to these unhealthy dynamics.

    Breaking Free from Codependency: Learn actionable strategies for overcoming codependent behaviors as we unpack key insights from Rosenberg’s book. This segment provides practical advice on how to break free from cycles of self-sacrifice and unhealthy dependency, empowering you to take control of your life and rebuild healthier relationships.

    Embracing Self-Love and Independence: The journey towards self-love and independence is essential for anyone recovering from a high-conflict divorce or past relationships. We discuss how Rosenberg’s concept of “Self-Love Deficit Disorder™” offers a path to self-reclamation and personal growth, equipping you with tools to cultivate a fulfilling and autonomous life. Guest Spotlight: Ross Rosenberg

    Ross Rosenberg, M. Ed., LCPC, CADC, is a global thought leader and renowned expert in codependency, narcissism, narcissistic abuse, and trauma treatment. He is the Self-Love Recovery Institute’s CEO/owner and primary contributor. His latest book, “The Codependency Revolution: Fixing What Was Always Broken” exposes the shadow side of a field that has always been lost, never established credibility, and, without bad intentions, hurt far more people than it has helped.

    It provides compelling insights on a complex, frequently misunderstood topic while offering a historical explanation for why he is “fixing what has always been broken.” Additionally, his pioneering contributions to the mental health field include sweeping theoretical and practical updates (revision) on codependency, which he aptly renamed “Self-Love Deficit Disorder™.”

    He is renowned for his expert psychotherapy, public speaker/educator, and expert witness work. Ross’s global success is illustrated by his 30 million YouTube video views and 295K subscribers. His “Self-Love Recovery” podcast is globally ranked at 2.5%, with over 200K downloads.
