Have you ever worried about what you'd do if a client cried, shut down, resisted, or even got irritated during a coaching session? If you're building a coaching business, these moments can feel intimidating but they're often the very moments where the biggest breakthroughs happen.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly how to navigate emotionally charged coaching sessions without freezing, fixing, or letting your own emotions take over. I share a real behind-the-scenes moment from a recent client session where things got tense—and how I used grounding, curiosity, and space-holding to help her move from frustration to clarity. You'll also learn the difference between a breakdown and a breakthrough, how to stay regulated when your client isn't, and why your presence (not your answers) is what truly transforms people.

Have you ever dated someone who felt amazing in the beginning only to realize later you ignored red flags that were right in front of you? It happens to so many women—especially after divorce—because we're craving connection, safety, and a fresh start. But some of the biggest red flags aren't loud or obvious. They're subtle. Quiet. And they sneak up on you when your guard is down.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by relationship coach and author Daniel Ratner for one of the realest conversations we've had on dating after divorce. We dig into why chemistry can mislead you, how unhealthy patterns repeat themselves, and the sneaky signs of "emotional vampires" who drain your energy long before you realize what's happening. Daniel also breaks down the difference between emotional safety and infatuation, how to raise your standards without losing hope, and why self-esteem is the invisible filter determining who you attract.

If you've been dating after divorce and keep finding yourself giving more than you get—or getting stuck in the same patterns—this episode is for you.

Have you ever looked at other coaches online and thought, "They've got it all figured out…why don't I?" I used to think the exact same thing.

And yet, it changed my life.

Ever wondered what actually happens to your assets—or your kids—if something happens to you after divorce? Most divorced moms assume everything will "just go where it's supposed to," but the truth is estate planning is one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of protecting your future.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sitting down with attorney and wealth expert Lauren Klein to break down the mistakes divorced women don't even realize they're making when it comes to wills, trusts, guardianship, probate, prenups, and financial protection. Lauren explains what really happens if you don't update your estate plan, how to make sure your kids are protected, and what steps you should take right now to set up the future you want.

If you've been divorced and have no idea where to start with protecting your money, your kids, or your future, then this episode is for you.
