Creating A Win-Win Divorce

Today on the podcast were chatting about resolving conflict and in particular we are talking about divorce.
If you have been through, or are going through the process of divorce you know that its probably one of the most difficult and contentious conflicts we will have to face in our lives.
Todays guest is Kim Korven, a former lawyer, judge and self proclaimed conflict avoider turned conflict mediator/consultant. While Kims work helps families navigate all kind of conflict we dig deep into divorce on this episode.
Having stepped away  from the legal processes of conflict and divorce Kim has developed a people first approach to helping people navigate difficult situations with the goal of creating win-win scenarios for everyone involved. 
This is an insightful episode that will leave you many Aha’s and hopefully some useful tools and resources that may be of use before during and after your divorce or any other family conflict.

A Millennial Perspective on Midlife

Todays episode is a very personal one. In fact I’m kinda having a it of a vulnerability hangover about sharing it. 
I interview my millennial daughter Stephanie about her perspective on midlife after having had a front row seat to my midlife reinvention journey.  She shares her experience of watching my highs and lows, the changes she’s noticed along the way, how it has impacted her and how she now thinks about her midlife chapter.
In spite of my resistance I’m sharing this episode because so often I talk about how our generation of midlife women is on the leading edge of the change of the cultural narrative and how we show up for ourselves will impact the midlife experience of future generations.
And as a little personal review the episode, the last half is sooooo good.

From Default Life to Inspired Future

Todays episode is an inspiring midlife reinvention story. 
 
All too often we get stuck living what todays guest calls the “default life”, going through the motions of a life that happened to us rather than consciously choosing it. After loosing her brother in 9/11, suffering through a difficult marriage and a high stress job on Wall Street Mary Kay Duffy knew in her heart that she had to make some different choices for her life. 
 
Taking the road less travelled, listening to her inner nudges and learning to trust herself led her to  leaving the default life and growing a multi million dollar cosmetics business.  We talk about creating your inspired future through trust and belief - in yourself, in something bigger than you and in possibility. This story is as heartwarming as it inspirational.

I have been endlessly fascinated by the subconscious mind ever since I learned that it accounts for about 90 to 95%  our thoughts, beliefs and actions and that most of us live blissfully unaware of how its impacting our daily lives.
 
Until that is we set a goal or try to accomplish something out of the ordinary and find ourselves struggling because of the limiting beliefs  in our subconscious are holding us back.
