Today's guest knows divorce inside & out.
Not only did she divorce when her kids were 1 and 3, but in the same year she gave up her career as a divorce attorney and chose to focus entirely on mediation.
Listen in to hear why Erika Englund says "I'm the divorce lawyer who never won a case", and why she feels like everyone wins in mediation.
Erika believes that good people deserve good divorce, and it is her life's work - as a lawyer, mediator, strategist, professor, and mother - to make that happen.
Tune in to hear:
- the George Castanza's method of managing high-conflict divorce,
- how mediation can reduce stress for parents and children,
- why conflict is the problem for our kids, NOT divorce,
- why you don't need to be singing Kumbaya with your ex in order to use mediation,
- and a bunch of great thought-provoking questions that Erika asks her clients.
Erika also offers a book recommendation if you're trying to decide if divorce is the right move for you: Taking Space: How to Use Separation to Explore the Future of Your Relationship, by Robert Buchicchio.
This is such a great conversation about navigating divorce, how to use mediation, and how to set your focus on long-range goals.
