    Episode 353: Aimee Says Updates: How Women Are Documenting Abuse in Real Time with Anne Wintemute
    Jan 22 2026
    When you're living inside an abusive relationship, one of the hardest things to do is see the pattern clearly while you're still in it. Everything feels confusing and destabilizing, especially when blame shifting, gaslighting, and constantly moving goalposts are part of the dynamic. That's why I'm so grateful to welcome back Anne Wintemute, CEO and Co-Founder of Aimee Says, an AI-powered support and documentation platform that helps women understand what's happening in abusive dynamics. Anne and I talk about how women are using Aimee Says in real life to bring clarity to chaos, especially during post separation, custody battles, and ongoing co-parenting conflict. We explore how identifying patterns as they are happening can be revolutionary, and how Aimee Says reflects women's lived experiences back to them in a way that validates reality. We also talk about how having all of your information in one place helps women create clear plans of action when preparing for mediation, working with attorneys, or deciding next steps. Moreover, we talk about the changes and updates to the platform, some of which are a total game-changer for victims and survivors. This episode is about seeing what's really happening, trusting yourself again, and having tools that help you stay grounded in truth.

  • Episode 352: An Intentional Divorce Strategy for January

    Episode 352: An Intentional Divorce Strategy for January
    Jan 15 2026

    It's January, and you've made the decision to get divorced. The question now isn't whether you're moving forward. It's how. This is the phase that requires strategy, not emotion. Not because your emotions don't matter. They do. But right now, clear thinking matters more than anything else. In this solo episode, I share three things to help you formulate your strategy so you can move forward without creating unnecessary chaos, expense, or regret.

    January is not a sprint. It's an orientation phase. This is the moment to shift your emotions into the passenger seat and let your strategic mind drive as you get clear on the reality you're in, gather the right information, and begin building the right team in the right order.

    Waiting until after the holidays to move forward with divorce wasn't a delay. It was a boundary. Moving forward with intention now can protect you and your children long after the paperwork is signed.

    What you'll hear about in this episode:

    • Why January is an orientation phase, not a race to file

    • What patterns in conflict, money, and boundaries matter most before divorce begins

    • What financial information to quietly gather now

    • How to think about custody awareness without rushing or overcorrecting

    • Why strategy should come before calling an attorney and how that saves time, money, and emotional fallout

  • Episode 351: Protecting Your Financial Future During Divorce with Jamie Lima, CDFA®

    Episode 351: Protecting Your Financial Future During Divorce with Jamie Lima, CDFA®
    Jan 8 2026
    If you're going through divorce and feeling overwhelmed by the financial decisions in front of you, you are not imagining it. There is far more to divorce financial planning than most people are ever told. Divorce creates financial challenges that most traditional financial advisors simply are not trained to handle, which is why I invited Jamie Lima, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and the founder of Allegiant Divorce Solutions, to the show to help demystify the financial realities of divorce. Jamie explains why dividing assets during divorce is rarely as straightforward as it seems, especially once taxes, retirement accounts, and long-term consequences are factored in. We talk about some of the most common and costly blind spots women face, including critical documents like QDROs, along with who actually carries the tax burden when assets are divided. Throughout the conversation, we come back to one essential truth. You should not be navigating this alone. Divorce requires a team, and having the right financial expertise can protect your future long after the paperwork is signed. What you'll hear about in this episode: What a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst does and why divorce financial planning is different from traditional financial planning (2:02) What a QDRO is, how it works, and why it is essential when retirement accounts and pensions are involved (7:38) How after tax value changes the true worth of assets in a divorce settlement (17:43) The most common financial mistakes people make during divorce and what Jamie wishes everyone knew before signing an agreement (31:28) Learn more about Jamie Lima, CDFA®: After watching her parents go through a divorce at a young age, and experiencing a tremendously expensive and emotionally draining divorce herself in 2017, she launched Allegiant Divorce Solutions as a sister company to her traditional financial planning firm. She recognizes the challenges people face as they decide how to handle their finances during divorce. Her parents struggled, and it was challenging for her as well. Looking back, there were mistakes she made during her own divorce that could have been avoided had she had the support of a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst ®. At present, armed with this ever growing knowledge and almost 20 years of financial planning experience, she is dedicated to helping her clients navigate the complex aspects of divorce and gain a fair settlement, with much less stress.

  • Episode 350: You Don't Have to Become Someone New to Begin Again

    Episode 350: You Don't Have to Become Someone New to Begin Again
    Jan 1 2026

    New Year's Day comes with a lot of pressure to reinvent yourself, get clear, and have a plan. In this solo episode, I'm talking about why you don't need any of that today. January 1st doesn't have to be a test, a turning point, or proof that you're doing life "right," especially if you're coming out of divorce, separation, or a year that asked more of you than you thought you could give.

    This episode is about orienting instead of reinventing and recognizing that growth doesn't always look like action. It creates space to slow down, notice where you are, and consider what might be ready for choice, not necessarily today, but soon.

    As this new year begins, this is a reminder that nothing is starting from scratch. Every boundary held, every truth acknowledged, and every quiet decision already counts as movement. Becoming doesn't require reinvention, and choosing doesn't require certainty. This is about listening, honoring what's already known, and allowing the next step to unfold in its own time.

    What you'll hear about in this episode:

    • Why you don't need a plan, a word of the year, or complete clarity on January 1st

    • Why beginnings often feel awkward, uneven, and tender

    • The difference between achieving and becoming

    • Why self-trust matters more than certainty as a new year begins

    Episode 349: You're Allowed to Let Today Be Exactly What It Is
    Dec 25 2025

    Christmas comes with a lot of expectations about how it's supposed to look and feel, and in this solo episode, I'm talking about what happens when your life doesn't match that script. You'll hear why there is no correct way to feel today and how to let this day be exactly what it is without judging yourself or trying to fix it.

    I also talk about why Christmas can feel so heavy during divorce, separation, and major life transitions, and why the pressure to make this day meaningful often makes it harder. This episode offers permission to let the day pass without forcing a lesson, a silver lining, or a redemption arc.

    Wherever you are and whatever this day looks like for you, I want you to know you are not alone today and not in this. Whether this Christmas feels quiet, heavy, or somewhere in between, you don't have to make it meaningful to be worthy of love, you already are.

    What you'll hear about in this episode:

    • The difference between emptiness and loneliness, and what emptiness is telling you

    • Why Christmas Day doesn't have to teach you anything

    • A simple grounding pause to notice support and release tension in your body

  • Episode 348: Divorce Mediation Explained: What It Is and How It Works with Susan Guthrie, Esq.

    Episode 348: Divorce Mediation Explained: What It Is and How It Works with Susan Guthrie, Esq.
    Dec 18 2025
    Mediation can feel confusing, intimidating, and wildly misunderstood, especially when you're being told you "don't need a lawyer" because you're mediating." That's exactly why I invited my good friend and colleague Susan Guthrie back to the show. Susan is going to help break down what mediation actually is, how it works, and how to protect yourself in the process. Susan is a former family law attorney, longtime mediator, and the host of the podcast Divorce & Beyond. She's also my go-to expert when my clients have questions about mediation. In this conversation, Susan and I walk through what mediation really looks like from the very beginning, why mediators are not judges, and why having a consulting attorney is still essential even if you are fully committed to mediating. When you are mediating, the only people who make decisions are the people getting divorced. Nothing is decided unless both of you agree, and that's what gives the process its power. When mediation is done well, it creates space for clarity, informed choices, and agreements you can actually live with, not decisions handed down by someone who doesn't know your life. What you'll hear about in this episode: Misconceptions about mediation and why many misunderstand the process (3:36) Why you must have a consulting attorney, even if you are mediating (15:40) Different forms of mediation, including the benefits of shuttle mediation (27:08) What the mediation process actually looks like from the start (46:40) Bringing other professionals into mediation can save time, money, and conflict (51:54) How to know when mediation is not working and who gets to make that decision (55:24) ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here. Learn more about Susan Guthrie: Susan Guthrie, Esq. is one of the nation's leading voices in family law and mediation. With more than 30 years of experience as a top divorce attorney, mediator, and trainer, Susan has helped thousands of individuals and families navigate separation with dignity, clarity, and compassion. As the creator and host of the award-winning Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan has built one of the most trusted platforms for real conversations about divorce, healing, and new beginnings. Her expertise and approachable style have made her a sought-after media expert, featured on The Oprah Podcast, NewsNation, NBC's Chicago Today, and numerous other national and regional outlets.

    The holidays have a magical way of triggering every wound you've ever had. In this solo episode, I'm sharing how you can take care of yourself so you don't lose your mind, your center, or your sanity in the process.

It means you're human, and you deserve far more gentleness than you've ever been taught to give yourself.

    You'll hear me walk you through the predictable triggers and patterns that show up this time of year and why the holidays feel so damn hard. And together, we'll shift into a new way of moving through the season that protects your peace and honors your truth.

    What you'll hear about in this episode:

    • The predictable patterns and triggers that show up every holiday season

    • What your holiday reactions are actually rooted in and why they feel so overwhelming

    • A new way of approaching the season that protects your peace and honors your truth

  • Episode 346: The Female Loneliness Epidemic

    Episode 346: The Female Loneliness Epidemic
    Dec 4 2025

    This episode is about the loneliness women feel inside of relationships and how that loneliness can cut deeper than anything else, even when someone is sitting right next to you. If you've been moving through your days feeling invisible, misunderstood, or emotionally starved inside your own home, please hear me when I say this: you are not alone. Loneliness in marriage has become one of the most common and most deeply painful experiences women quietly carry.

    Throughout this episode, you'll hear me talk about the female loneliness epidemic inside relationships and why the loneliness you feel is not a personal failure. It is your body, your intuition, and your unmet needs trying to get your attention in the most honest way they know how. I also share seven grounding steps that can help you gently validate your own experience, reconnect with what you truly need, and begin rebuilding emotional safety from the inside out.

    As I always say, you, my love, deserve to be happy.

    What you'll hear about in this episode:

    • How emotional labor conditions women into feeling disconnected and unseen

    • The somatic signs of emotional deprivation and what your body is quietly trying to tell you

    • Seven gentle grounding steps to help you validate your reality and rebuild emotional safety

    • How to recognize the difference between a temporary rut and the deeper experience of chronic loneliness

    • Why the loneliness you feel may be a sign that you are waking up to your truth, not breaking down
