The holidays are a time of gathering, joy, and peace.  Those finding it hard to connect with these important parts may find that their chance for peace is being stolen.

It’s easy to drift into the negative energy of divorce. Fear, doubt, worry, resentment, vengeance, and other trappings fuel the devil within.  It’s these emotions that are very much in our control.  Yet so many fail to properly manage them.  In this episode, I share a poem titled “A Man’s Heart” which you can find in my book Spirit Poems.

Ep. 109 Why is this so Friggin' Hard?

The way to a final divorce decree can follow several paths.  The traditional, or socially branded, path is the path of litigation.  Many have found litigation not the right fit and even have regrets with the outcome it produced.  Alternative divorce methods, like mediation, pro-se (or kitchen table), and arbitration, are becoming more prevalent.  In this episode, Steve compares the traditional and alternative paths, and shares both benefits and weaknesses of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods.

Ep 114 Ending with Un-Equal Fears

In this episode, we explore the transformative potential of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly mediation, in divorce proceedings. While litigation offers a formal trial, ADR methods provide couples with greater control over the process. However, success in mediation relies on proactive engagement and addressing underlying conflicts. A recent client's story highlights common pitfalls, emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation and communication. True empowerment in divorce comes from taking responsibility for actions and decisions. By embracing mediation with commitment, individuals can shape a smoother transition and a more fulfilling post-divorce future.
