When couples come to me for mediation, I hear a lot of “we” language: “We want to do this amicably,” “We’ve already decided,” “We’re on the same page.” But here’s the hard truth—if you’re getting divorced, you’re not a “we” anymore. You’re two separate people with separate interests, and pretending otherwise doesn’t make mediation easier, it makes it impossible. In this episode, I’m breaking down why letting go of “we” is one of the hardest but most essential shifts you need to make, what “we” behavior actually looks like (and why it’s a red flag), and why mediation can only work when both people can advocate for themselves as individuals.
