"This divorce is going to mess up my kids."

It might be the single biggest fear holding parents in place, and in this episode of Divorce Discussions, we meet it head on. Divorce Support Collective Director, Angie Weber, sits down with Jill Kaufman, a therapist, divorce coach, mediator, and co-parenting expert who went through her own difficult divorce and made it her life's mission to help other parents have it a little less tough.

Jill shares why staying in an unhealthy marriage "for the kids" can do more harm than good, the costly mistake most parents make the moment they file, and how to get your emotions in check so you can actually think clearly and negotiate from a place of strategy instead of pain. She walks through real, usable tools, including a visualization called the bubble technique for high-conflict triggers, how to tell your children in an age-appropriate way, and what to do when a new partner enters the picture.

Whether you're contemplating divorce, in the thick of co-parenting, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you with practical strategies and a deep breath of reassurance: your kids are resilient, and so are you.

The marital home is so much more than the biggest asset on the table. It's stability, it's memories, it's where life happened.

And the decisions you make about the house during a divorce can follow you for years if they're made without the right information. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie Weber sits down with Karla Kyte, a nationally recognized divorce mortgage planning consultant with 28 years of lending experience and a Certified Divorce Lending Professional who has guided more than 400 divorcing couples through their housing decisions.

Karla breaks down the most common (and most expensive) mistakes people make with the house, why a divorce decree does not actually remove someone from a mortgage, and how loan assumptions and releases of liability work when you're trying to hold onto that low interest rate. She also explains why getting this work done before the decree is signed can save you thousands, and in one real case, over a hundred thousand dollars.

If the house is the question keeping you up at night, this conversation will help you understand your options before those choices become permanent.

If you're in the thick of divorce, you already know the hardest part isn't the paperwork.

It's the 2am spiral, the text that hijacks your whole day, the quiet question of whether you'll ever feel like yourself again.

In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie Weber sits down with Christin Becker, a certified divorce coach and Divorce Support Collective member who walked away from a 27-year marriage and came out the other side thriving. Christin's signature framework is simple and a little startling: divorce is 80% emotional, 10% legal, and 10% financial.

If you aren't tending to that 80%, she explains, you'll end up making expensive, emotionally charged legal and financial decisions you can't take back. She breaks down what a divorce coach actually does (and how it's different from a therapist), a simple circles exercise for letting go of what you can't control, and her go-to communication rule for high conflict co-parenting: keep it concise, informative, and civil. She also gets honest about the part nobody promises you, that there's a real, joyful life waiting on the other side.

From DoorDashing during lonely dinner hours to sending her daughters to Maui, Christin shows what rebuilding actually looks like. Follow the show, leave a review, and visit thedivorcesupportcollective.com for resources and support.
