Do you really need to get under someone to get over someone? It’s a question that often comes up after separation or divorce, and in this episode, I talk with Clinical Psychology Registrar – Psychologist Ben Schiller to explore if there is any truth behind it.
We discuss the emotional pull of rebound sex and new relationships, why it’s so tempting to dive straight into something (or someone) new, and whether that really helps ease the loneliness and grief that can follow a breakup. Is it a distraction or does it help you heal? And how understanding our own emotional patterns can make all the difference. It's a BIG conversation with great insights.

If you’ve ever felt like your life was supposed to follow a certain script, find the one, live happily ever after, then this episode is for you. But what happens when that story falls apart? Are we destined to be unhappy, or is there another way?

If you’re navigating the grief, guilt, or loneliness that often comes with separation, Stephanie’s insights will help you reframe your experience and find hope in the possibility of a more authentic and fulfilling life.

In this episode, host Nikki Parkinson engages in a candid conversation with Christina Salvo, the CEO and founder of Simple Separation, about de facto relationships. They delve into what constitutes a de facto relationship in the eyes of the family law system.
Christina clarifies how, legally, de facto relationships are treated and whether they are similar to marriages when it comes to financial settlements, children's arrangements, and child support. They discuss how asset division in de facto relationships is determined based on factors such as relationship duration, contributions, career sacrifices, income disparities, and age differences.
The importance of protecting assets in de facto relationships is a focal point, and they explain how financial agreements or prenuptial agreements can safeguard individuals.
This conversation highlights the importance of initiating the conversation about a financial agreement early in the relationship. Tune in to hear Nikki and Christina'a strategies for approaching this potentially sensitive topic.
