Divorce can feel like a battle over custody, finances, and who was “right.” But in this episode, I challenge the idea that winning in court means winning in life. I break down research on high-conflict divorce, co-parenting outcomes, children’s long-term wellbeing, mental health during divorce, and the financial mistakes many people make during litigation.

If you’re going through divorce or navigating separation, I share a strategic framework to help you think beyond short-term victories and focus on emotional stability, financial security, and rebuilding your identity. The goal isn’t to win the divorce. It’s to win your future.
