This Halloween showed me what true superheroes are, and there’s no costume needed. They’re people who have made a conscious choice to come together in peace and partnership to co-parent their children. I grew up watching and wanting to be Wonder Woman. In fact, I even had Wonder Woman Underoos. If you’re in your thirties [...]

What do divorce and the Kung Fu have in common? Well, I watched the movie Karate Kid (the new version) with my daughter the other day and there are some good lessons in there. Dre, the Karate Kid, tells his mom that he’s going to be learning Kung Fu and she says something like “what [...]

Divorced Happily Ever After. That’s the name of my business and I get a lot of remarks on it, along with some laughter. I’ll admit, it is a bit provocative. But that’s kind of the point.

We all tend to be good at finding every single little thing we haven’t done perfectly and going over in our minds how we might have done things better or differently. Our inner critic gets a lot of action and a lot of attention. When we’re going through a challenging life experience like divorce, this [...]
