How I Reclaimed My Sanity, Self Esteem and My Life after My High Conflict Divorce Jul 20, 2020

While navigating divorce, fear of the unknown often drives us to replace our uncertainty with a catastrophic worst case scenario about our future. However, our greatest fears rarely come true. Today’s session is designed to provide you with hope and encouragement as you hear one woman’s journey from fear and overwhelm to a post divorce life that is very different from what she feared.

Tune in as she shares the struggles she faced with her narcissistic ex, and how while he never changed, she changed so much that she rarely feels anxiety around interactions with him. Elle shares how she is living a peaceful and joyful life in spite of the fact that she has been divorced for 8 years, co-parenting / parallel parenting her school age child with his dad (and has many years left to go before her child is emancipated). Elle shares specific tools and strategies she received from coaching that you too can use to minimize the stress and tension in your situation.

The Vital Role Forgiveness Plays in Healing with Gayle Reed Jul 07, 2020

The psychological impact of living with a HCP crushes your self esteem often leaving you, the spouse insecure, reactive and bitter. Dr. Gayle Reed shares how forgiveness is a healing balm for the spouse of the HCP. She explains the traumatic impact of verbal and emotional abuse and the psychological defenses you use to manage the resulting anger, pain and confusion.

While forgiveness seems to be for the HCP, it is actually for you, the spouse. Forgiveness is not condoning, accepting, excusing or denying the abuse. Gayle takes us through a 4 phase process that helps you to uncover the impact of unforgiveness, examine the benefits of choosing forgiveness, begin the journey to forgive and the healing that journey invites and ultimately, how forgiveness, healing and growth is the cornerstone for finding meaning in the struggle with the HCP.

You kids have been experiencing conflict throughout the marriage, even if you think you have ‘hidden’ it from them. Now that a decision has been made to divorce, tensions will only rise. It is all the more important to focus on protecting your children now while navigating a high conflict divorce.

We discuss the importance of honoring and maintaining as much ‘normalcy’ as possible for your kids and handling any change with caution and clear communication, so they understand what is happening and why. Parenting post divorce may be equally challenging. Tune in to hear options for decision making and shared parenting time that puts the kids first.

Divorcing A Narcissist Mar 05, 2020

High conflict personalities drive high conflict divorces. If you have been married to and are divorcing this type of personality, today’s show helps you to understand the traits common to this personality type. You will begin to understand your spouse’s inability to manage his/her emotions, their black and white thinking, extreme behaviors and tendency to blame are common to his/her personality and not about you. Our guest expert, Virginia Gilbert is a family and marriage therapist. She also sheds light on your part in the unhealthy dance of high conflict divorce. Most partners of high conflict personalities are caregivers or codependents, an equally unhealthy role in the relationship dynamic. We discuss the tendency of the codependent to want to change the HCP, keep the peace, be triggered and reactive and take the HCP’s behavior personally. Virginia speaks to the trauma of being married to such a personality and the impact it has on your nervous system and therefore your behavior. Learning to trust yourself, put your needs first and heal your broken sense of self are a few of the topics covered in today’s conversation. The good news is your high conflict divorce can be a catalyst to focus on yourself, develop healthy perspectives and behaviors, heal and become empowered and renewed.

Being Alone for The Holidays Dec 04, 2019

The Anatomy of An Affair series with David Feder continues with Being Alone for The Holidays in Episode #7.

For many the significance of the Holiday Season is a combination of religious significance, gift-giving and reconnecting with friends and family. But after an affair, what once seemed easy is now more complicated. What is the right kind of gift to buy and what message do I want to give are now questions that need to be considered? While we once looked forward to spending time together this year we worry about how to manage the awkwardness that may exist.

And what about the kids, don’t they deserve to have a good Holiday Season? This is the time of year when some anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus, they look forward to spending time with parents, extended family and friends and they wonder whether the gift they so desire will be waiting for them.

How you spend time is not an all or nothing proposition and it is often best to give each other permission to have some alone time apart from one another. Of course this requires trust that the partner who cheated is not going to use that their alone time to visit with their affair partner. If this is still a concern then spending time together may not be a good idea and you should reconsider whether spending any time together during the holiday season is a good idea.

David offers advise and hope in this episode or The Anatomy of An Affair. For more on David, visit: www.MyLifeAfterAnAffair.com. Make the best of your holidays. We wish you the best. For more programs on divorce and life after divorce, visit www.DivorceSourceRadio.com.

Steal My Money, Not My Son! Jun 29, 2019

Research into family breakdown shows that more than one in three children never see their fathers again after their parents split up, and nearly one in ten is so traumatized by the separation that they have considered suicide. Children are often used as 'emotional footballs' and are left feeling 'used, isolated and alone,' with many turning to alcohol and drugs.

A father's biggest fear during a divorce is what impact this will have on his children, and the possibility of actually losing custody, as well. Many people in our society don't see fathers' rights as important as mothers' rights. Although there is a movement towards 50/50 custody in some states, very often, mothers end up winning custody of their children. Children need both parents and fathers shouldn't be pushed out of their children's lives after a divorce.

This is the story of Chris Marshall, a father who has been fighting for years for the right to have a reasonable custody arrangement. His legal nightmare has cost him tens of thousands of dollars, as well as a thirty day jail sentence. For more information, visit: www.DivoceSourceRadio.com

Why Is It So Hard To End An Affair? Mar 15, 2019

Why is it so hard to end an affair?

Once a hurt spouse discovers their spouse is having an affair often and for good reason the hurt spouse demands that the affair be ended immediately. This is not an unreasonable expectation but it is one that may take some time. In this podcast we discuss some of the reasons why ending the affair may take some time and what the hurt partner can do in the meantime. The solution is not always to end the marriage or committed relationship.

David’s Terminology and Definitions:

Hurt Partner – The partner in the relationship who has been “cheated” on

Participating Partner – The partner that having the affair

Affair Partner – The partner outside the relationship in the affair with the Participating Partner

The Importance of Finding The Right Therapist Post Affair Feb 07, 2019

Your relationship, what you do with it and how you look after it should never be taken lightly. This is especially true after discovering infidelity and when choosing the right therapist is critical. Finding a therapist who is knowledgeable about infidelity, who is a good fit for you and who believes in what you want to achieve through the therapeutic process is critical. David Feder says that “ an important predictor of a positive outcome in therapy is the fit between the therapist and the client and to this end clients should interview a therapist before beginning therapy.”

In this episode of BEYOND INFIDELITY David talks about:

Why it is important to find the right therapist?
Asking the therapist about their experience in treating infidelity?
Asking whether the therapist has personal been impacted by an affair and how their experience may affect treatment?
Whether it is OK to ask the therapist about the model they use to treat infidelity? and
Asking the therapist about what they consider to be a good outcome of therapy?

Your Partners Affair is Not Your Fault Oct 30, 2018

Your spouse or partner had or is having an affair and your reaction is a cocktail of emotions that probably includes a combination of shock, rage, disbelief, anger, sadness and fear. However, you might also be blaming yourself. Logically, you know that you can’t be responsible for a choice you did not make but emotionally you believe that somehow it was your fault. Instead of sending yourself good messages, your mantra is now, “I must not have been enough” and “if I would only have…”. You become powerless and a victim. This podcast is about taking back your power. This podcast is about getting unstuck and not being a victim. This podcast is about taking back control of your life so you can heal and move on.

A Seal to Heal Your Marriage Dec 13, 2016

Our Guest is Retired US Navy SEAL Darek Laviolette author of A Seal to Heal Your Marriage. Derek spent 24 years of active duty service, with 9 combat deployments. He’s also the recipient of the Bronze Star with Valor.

His new book A SEAL to Heal Your Marriage is the result of an 8 year marriage which ended after losing his wife and family to divorce. Derek has rebuilt a life he loves and is reaching out to help others with through his book.

Darek’s passion for healing marriages stems from personal experience and his childhood influences. Darek’s exposure to self-help as a child forced him to understand what happened to his family, and after his own marriage collapsed, he spent the better part of a decade learning what happened and how to use his own experience for the greater good – keeping other families intact.

Avoiding the Mental Ruts That Keep Us Stuck May 01, 2016

(Listener Note: This is Step #3 of this 12 step series. To take full advantage of this please visit our show archive and listen to the episodes in their proper order).

We have all had the experience of obsessing over thoughts during divorce. Whether trying to understand how this happened or worrying about what the future holds or re-running that argument in your mind over and over again. I call it loop thinking when we feel like we are on a mental hamster-wheel or caught in a mental rut.

Today’s we examine the four categories these mental obstacles fall into and how they keep us stuck and cause us to increase the emotional pain we are experiencing. Begin to see how our pain originates with our thoughts and how once we are aware of those that pull us down, we can begin to consciously change the way we think. This powerful concept frees us to choose to respond rather than react and ultimately to communicate with more confidence.

Karen McMahon and Lisa Brick share practices, tools and exercises to help you implement these concepts immediately and see the impact this new awareness will have on how your choose to engage in all your interactions.

Lessons Learned From Having an Affair Feb 22, 2015

On this episode of The Anotomy of An Affair with David Feder we are joined with a client who has had more than one affair, as well as several one night stands.

"Mary" has learned from her experiences and shares her story and we have the opportunity to learn from her experiences. Mary is an example of a person who has worked hard and faced her challenges. Many people continue to buy into the belief, “once a cheater always a cheater” and this is a reason why many betrayed partners continue to ask themselves whether they will ever be able to trust their partner again? There are people who will remain untrustworthy but others are willing to learn from their mistake sand commit to living a more wholesome life and make amends for hurting their partner. People can change and this segment is about illustrating that point.

Are You Physically Abused? Jan 28, 2015

Your Heart Can't Be Two Places at The Same Time - Anatomy of an Affair Part 11 Oct 06, 2014

In episode 11 of The Anatomy of an Affair, David Feder discusses why your heart can’t be two places at the same time during an affair.

Comparing your partner to the affair partner is an unfair comparison that will either create more confusion for you or keep you stuck. You will not discover why you are where you are. Your heart cannot be in two places at the same time and your partner will almost always come up wanting in any comparison test. Instead it will be more helpful if instead of directing blame onto your spouse, you focus on yourself and become more aware of your beliefs, values and needs.

The way a person feels when in an affair will almost always trump feelings had in a long-term relationship. An affair is a fantasy built on a foundation of secrecy, exclusive focus and excitement. Absent are the financial and childcare responsibilities that often distract committed partners from one another and robs the committed relationship of passion. Hence, the affair will often appear more exciting and leave participating partners thinking that they finally met someone who truly understands. But, do they?

Woman and Manscaping 101 Jul 05, 2014

Welcome to another episode of Being Single with Steve Peck and Toni Morales!

So straight up, this is a strange show. Toni had been in a horrible mood the week before and even cancelled a show and lost a guest Steve had been wanting to bring on-air for a year. Let’s just say Steve’s frustration shows through during the beginning of this show a very passive-aggressive way.

Once they get through their personal issues the show explores how some parents who remarry seem to forget about their biological children in favor of children they have with their new spouce and how damaging that can be. John Lennon’s son Julian is used as an example.

And then the show goes totally off the rails as the conversation shifts to woman and manscaping and Steve’s aversion to hair. (This has nothing to do with his Alopecia.) And why do men have to be so hairy and do women really like it?

Making Separation and Divorce Fair and Affordable Mar 29, 2014

Is it possible to go to court and make the process less costly, less acrimonious and actually helpful? Find out how with Deborah Moskovitch and Steve Peck as we discuss with our guest, Justice Rebecca Love Kourlis of IAALS, access to justice, and what it means for family court litigants. Judge Kourlis is the author of more than 200 opinions and dissents during her tenure as a judge, and also spearheaded significant reforms in the judicial system relating to juries, family law and attorney regulation. Her contribution to the justice system is significant and impressive.

IAALS, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System, is busy working to make the process of separation and divorce more fair, dignified and affordable. And, most importantly, preserve families in the most positive way they can be during a difficult time.

IAALS’ Honoring Families Initiative has successfully developed an interdisciplinary model for reaching out-of-court resolutions in cases of separation and divorce. That model is now at work at the Resource Center for Separating and Divorcing Families at the University of Denver. They are at work tackling the challenges of the in-court divorce process, identifying the issues and compiling research on a number of fronts. That research will help IAALS along with some of the best minds in the country to suggest real solutions to improve the system.

We explore:

What does access to justice mean for family court litigants
What are some of the access to justice issues facing family court litigants today?
Is cost a significant issue in family court cases?
How are courts and individual judges dealing with these issues
……and much more!

If you are contemplating divorce, in the throes of divorce and not sure what to do, then you won’t want to miss the valuable information shared by Becky Kourlis. Empower yourself with information and knowledge so that you can divorce more holistically to avoid the pain and scars that can emerge!

Real Solutions for Real Stepfamilies Aug 26, 2013

On this episode of The Smart Divorce with Deborah Moskovitch we discuss Real Soloutions for Stepfamilies.

Did you know that the divorce rate for remarriages with children is at a whopping 62-70%? Did you know that most stepfamilies take years (four to six) before family members even begin to feel comfortable with one another, let alone love one another? Did you know that the research shows that only approximately 20% of adult stepchildren report positive feelings about their stepmothers, despite the years of effort and kindness so many of them have shown their stepchildren? As you may imagine, there are many conversations that couples need to have before combining their families.

Our guest, Mary Kelly provides us with a framework for considerations when having the important conversations when merging families. She provides the do’s and don’ts for making this new family more likely to work. Ms. Kelly is a therapist who has been working with and writing about stepcouples, stepfamilies, step kids, stepmoms and stepdads for over a decade. The number one declaration that stepcouples, and especially stepmothers tell her is: "We/I had no idea it would be this hard!"

Why is it so hard? In this episode of The Smart Divorce we discuss what many in remarriage or re-partnership with children find themselves saying:

"Am I really supposed to love his/her children?"
"What does being a step-parent mean?"
"Do I really parent a child who isn't mine?"
"Just because I don’t have kids, doesn’t mean I don’t have a valid opinion.”
....and much more

And, then, based on these conversations provide solutions and strategies to maintain a healthy, loving relationship for the couple.

Prenups: The Engagement Ring of the Twenty First Century Aug 12, 2013

Now more than ever it’s time to consider a Prenuptial Agreement if you’re getting married, or a Cohabitation Agreement if you’re living together. The prenup seems so utterly unromantic — or just plain wrong — but it's also become so right for so many these days: those keenly aware that a marriage may end up in a legal separation, divorce or death. Most prenups tackle financial issues such as real estate, division of bank accounts and potential spousal support in the case of divorce or separation. It’s not just for the rich and famous, but for anyone that wants to protect assets. Mapping out a pre-nuptial agreement is never particularly romantic. But it can be especially tricky when children from previous relationships are involved. It’s also a good time to explore your financial values and ideals with your partner so that you better understand each others expectations.

Our guest, lawyer Ed Winer, is one of the top ten divorce lawyers in the United States. Mr. Winer has practiced family law for four decades and is expert in drafting, negotiating and litigating antenuptial and postnuptial agreements, addressing business valuations, complex property divisions and other business-related issues.

Mr. Winer explains the importance of the prenup and cohab agreements, and outlines the significant financial questions couples should discuss – and individuals consider – before making a commitment. Mr. Winer refers to the prenup as the engagement ring of the twenty first century. Listen in to find out why…..we discuss:

· Why the prenup, cohab and postnup agreements are for everyone· What these financial Agreements are· Does it mean that you don’t trust your partner?· What’s in it for the person that has less financially?· Do these financial Agreements destroy or build a loving relationship?· What about the matrimonial home?· And much more……

Hope Springs - Can You Keep Your Relationship Alive? Dec 28, 2012

Happy New Year from Single Again! Now What?! Lesley is in Ohio for Christmas break with her son and Joanie and Steve are holding court in this episode.

As Steve continues his path of being recently single, he finds himself asking many questions, such as, Why do relationships break up so quickly? Why don't we try harder to honor our vows and Why do we seem to live in a throw away society when it comes to the ones we once loved?

What You Need to Know About Real Estate During Divorce Dec 21, 2012

Many people transitioning through a divorce want to distance themselves from the other party as quickly as possible and this can result in poor, and ultimately expensive, mistakes. Prematurely paying off joint credit cards, selling personal property, and buying or selling real estate are some examples that require extreme caution prior to the final settlement.

Buying a new home is a common first step to cleanse a person of the divorce experience. They want to leave the marital home and strike out on their own, make a fresh start and solidify their independence. What better way to express their new situation than to create an oasis in the form of a new home.

Divorce Real Estate Specialist, Joan Rogliano joins us to discuss the up and downside of real estate during divorce. Divorce Consultant, Deborah Moskovitch joins the show as well adding her expert opinion. If you are going through the process of divorce and own real estate, this is a "must hear" show.

Single Again... Again! Dec 13, 2012

Happy Holidays from the Single Again! Now What? posse!

On this episode, Joanie, Lesley and Steve talk about custody issues divorced couples face during the holidays. Lesley's ex is choosing to be out of state and away from his son for Christmas in order to spend time with a new love interest. Steve and Joanie have strong feelings about this, but Lesley is taking the high road and doing what's in the best interest of her son.

This is the first show recorded from the new DSR studio, as Steve has recently moved and took the studio with him. Since Steve left everything to his wife after their divorce three years ago and has been living in a furnished place since, this entailed buying EVERYTHING new for the new place, an exhausting and expensive task that many find themselves doing after leaving a marriage and starting over.

The conversation turns to e-Dating services and the trio share their experiences with this. Joanie has been there, done that, Steve is just checking it out, and Lesley is far too busy to consider it at this time. So can true love really be found on-line? Stay tuned.

Finally, the gang talk about how the kids of someone you're dating can drive a wedge between your relationship. So what would you do if someone you were dating had kids that were rude and disrespectful of you? The girls pitch in with their thoughts.

Sexual Indiscretions Nov 23, 2012

On this episode of Sex After Divorce with Juliana Neiman, we discuss sexual indiscretions.

Infidelity happens in relationships for many different reasons. Some feel they aren't receiving the attention they deserve from their partner, and seek a sexual or emotional relationship elsewhere. For others, it may be something that happened out of the blue, and afterwards, left them feeling guilty and ashamed.

Some marriages head towards divorce after a partner who has had an indiscretion told their partner of their affair. The question is, if you are in a relationship and had an affair, realized it was a mistake, and vow to never do it again, should you tell your partner? You might be surprised with Juliana's answer.

Also discussed in the program:

Open relationships
Is an emotional affair more damaging than a sexual affair?
How to prevent an affair
And much more.

Can Hormones Play a Role in Divorce? Nov 21, 2012

Is possible that your hormones could have played a role in the demise of your marriage? Dr. Edward Lichten believes that many relationship problems can be directly traced to hormone imbalances.

Did your sex life with your ex cease to exist ? Did you find yourself having an affair because you weren't getting your needs met at home? Did the personality of your ex drastically change from the person you fell in love with? Do you find your sex drive has diminished? Have you lost energy, focus and your zest for life? If you answered to more than one of these questions, and are in your late 30's and beyond, there is a chance a hormonal imbalance could be part of the problem.

Dr. Lichten is the author of the Textbook of Bio-Identical Hormones and a leading researcher in the field of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). He joins us along with two of his patients and explains the hormonal connection that can be attributed to married couples falling out of love and into divorce. In this program, you'll learn how a simple visit to an anti-aging specialist can improve your health and enhance future relationships.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy include:

Preventing heart disease
preventing osteoporosis
Controlling menopause symptoms
Improving sexual performance
increased energy and muscle mass
reduces body fat
improves mood and memory
and much more.

Alternative Dispute Resolution - A More Peaceful Way to Divorce Nov 19, 2012

From The Family Support Expo in Toronto, Canada, Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck features attorneys Lorne Fine and Stephanie Pasternak to discuss a more peaceful way to divorce.

It's called Alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, and it has become very popular in recent years as the delay and expense associated with a divorce trial has encouraged lawyers and litigants to seek alternatives to divorce court. In alternative dispute resolution, parties typically engage the services of a neutral third party to help them resolve a divorce settlement without litigation.

There are a number of advantages to alternative dispute resolution. It typically costs less, can be resolved more quickly and is usually less hostile than litigation. By choosing a method of alternative dispute resolution, you may eliminate stress and hardship on all parties involved.

Election Wrap-up, Legalizing Pot & Natural Childbirth Nov 13, 2012

On this episode of Single Again! Now What?, Joanie, Lesley & Steve download their thoughts on the recent elections. (We're all glad to have the commercials off the air.)

Lesley was tied up in traffic and does the entire show from her cell, leading to a discussion about traffic gridlock and transportation in major cities.

Our conversation somehow turns the corner to Childbirth Lane as we reminisce about having our first child and the different birthing methods available. And we all know that Lesley is single, so why is someone telling her she's going to be pregnant in the coming year?? And you can't talk about childbirth these days without having the fear that you child may be the one in eighty children born with autism. How could this be happening and what's to blame for this?

We end the show on a high note as we talk about the legalization of marijuana in two states this past election. So grab some munchies and join us for the fun.

Anger Management - Dealing with Anger Issues in Relationshiips Oct 30, 2012

It's normal to get angry from time-to-time, but what happens when you or a partner lose control and anger turns to rage? In this episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck, Latchman Narain, director-founder of the Anger Management Centre, joins us and helps decode anger and stress issues that can tear relationships apart.

Many people believe that they can control others by using excessive anger and that this is a permanent solution to an issue. However, this only causes deeper problems in the long run. Sooner or later, the person who is being controlled will rebel in one way or another, which will, of course, negatively impact the relationship.

In this program, we explore whether anger issues can be a result of something that happened during our childhood. Latchman offers insight on how to gain control over anger and offers hope for those seeking help. By learning to communicate with "solution talk," as opposed to "problem talk," disagreements with a partner become more productive and less confrontational.

By learning to recognize the signs of anger issues, and with the tools to deal with them, we can learn to communicate in much healthier ways.

Other topics include:

How each person has to take their own responsibility for their divorce and be willing to work on themselves, not only for future relationships, but most importantly for their children.

What to do when a parent calls or communicates with only one of their young adult siblings and ignores the other.

How Joanie and Dr. Dee are on a mission to help divorced parents stop fighting even after years of being divorced, especially since this effects children in such a negative way. For more information, go to: www.DivorcedParentsItsTimeToWakeUp.com.

What Makes Us Crazy During Divorce and The Need to Protect Your Children Sep 16, 2012

In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce, with Mark Banschick, M.D., we discuss what it is about divorce that makes seemingly "normal" people behave in crazy, and even violent, ways?

Dr. Banschick explains that it's quite common for divorcing individuals to feel like they are the victim. This can even be the case for people who have had an affair, because they might see the reason they did so was that their partner wasn't paying attention to them.

When relationships go wrong, your partner might be pushing all of your hot buttons, setting you off into a rage to the point of verbal or domestic violence. We'll explore the role control and narcissistic behavior can play in this harmful behavior during divorce.

Above all, divorcing couples should put their children first and protect their innocence by not dragging them into their relationship problems. It is vital that you learn to manage your emotions in order to avoid verbal and physical abuse and manipulation, for the sake for your children and your own peace of mind.

Keeping Intimacy Alive in Relationships Sep 09, 2012

At the time many couples decide to divorce, the intimacy in their relationship had subsided years ago. This process can erode slowly to the point where many don't even notice it happening until it's too late.

Intimacy includes sex but is much more than that. Intimacy is about being emotionally close to your partner, about being able to let your guard down, and let him or her know how you really feel. Intimacy is also about being able to accept and share in your partner's feelings, about being there when he/she wants to let their defenses down.

So why does intimacy fade and can the flame be rekindled? Many affairs are the result of intimacy dying in a relationship, and then finding someone else that makes them feel more important, loved and understood than their own partner.

In this episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck from The Divorce Expo in Chicago, Rev. Dr. Gary A. Williams and his wife Greta join the program to discuss how to co-create successful, intimate relationships. They bring a new insight into love and marriage and offer and alternative to divorce.

Daughters of Divorce Sep 07, 2012

Today on Single Again! Now What? with Joanie & Steve, Terry Gaspard, of www.MovingPastDivorce.com, joins us to discuss her mission of helping women who grew up in divorced homes make healthy choices in their relationships. (Steve helps represent for the male audience as well.)

Terry and her daughter, Tracy Clifford, are both daughters of divorce. Together, they started their website because they believe that many women struggle silently and needlessly through divorce.

Many daughters of divorce have trouble trusting their partners, fear their relationships will not succeed, and struggle with issues related to self-worth. A history of divorce in a girl’s childhood can predict ambivalence towards commitment in intimate relationships. With respect to divorce proneness, women whose parents divorced are more likely to enter marriage with lower confidence in the future of their marriage, potentially raising their risk of divorce.

Even though divorce no longer carries its old stigma in our culture, it still hurts as much as ever. While people’s reasons for divorcing vary, there are many emotions and transitions that have to be dealt with as family members rebuild their lives. Recent evidence has demonstrated that divorced individuals have higher rates of depression, lower levels of life satisfaction, and more health problems than married people. Terry shares her personal story of dealing with divorce and tells how their new website is helping women and daughters of divorce.

Change Your Life with Inner Bonding Sep 04, 2012

On today's program, Steve's guest is Dr. Margret Paul, co-founder of INNER BONDING, the complete process of self-healing anxiety, depression, addictions and relationships.

Margaret holds a Ph.D. in psychology and is a relationship expert, noted public speaker, workshop leader, educator, and artist. She has appeared on many radio and TV shows, including the Oprah show and has successfully worked with thousands of individuals and couples, and shares how Inner Bonding can help you create the life you deserve.

Inner Bonding offers a complete self-healing process that has not been offered by either psychology or religion. People are recognizing that life is empty without the spiritual dimension, but religion has not always provided that.

Inner Bonding differentiates between love intended to get and love intended to give, between power over others and power within self. It provides a much-needed process for moving out of fear and into love, out of the need to control and into trust, so you can weather the storms of everyday life and embrace the sacred privilege of life on this planet.

If you are struggling with issues of aloneness, emptiness, depression, self-esteem, anger, or violence; addiction problems including weight problems and food addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, relationship, love and sex addiction; personal issues including childhood physical, sexual, emotional and spiritual abuse; shame, lack of motivation and goal achievement, this is a "must hear", life changing program!

Healthcare Privacy During Divorce Aug 31, 2012

Privacy rights of your health information are well established within the healthcare community. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists know that you have a right to privacy of your health information. However, there's a GAP, a loop whole if you will, and something that HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) does not address – and that happens in many walks of life – in particular divorce court. You may be surprised to learn that the privacy of your health information is not protected when it is inappropriately used in divorce court by your spouse and their attorneys. The first step is being aware of the problem, the second step is taking initiative to control the inappropriate use of health information for yourself and that of your children.In the episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck from The Divorce Expo in Chicago, Medical Business Associates founder, Rebecca Saltiel Busch joins us to discuss our healthcare rights and explains why we need to be our own health advocate. Rebecca is also an accomplished author and educator. With over 200 publications and presentations, Rebecca has presented to universities, large corporations, government entities, associations, financial institutions, and small businesses. Her passion - to create educated, conscientious healthcare consumers - is reflected in her works, including her latest book Personal Healthcare Portfolio - a survival guide to the complex healthcare market.For more on Rebecca, visit: www.MbaAudit.com

Dealing with the Pain of Divorce Aug 28, 2012

In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce with Mark Banschick, M.D., we discuss pain. Whether physical or through something like divorce, pain is a force to be reckoned with.

Dr. Banschick shares his personal story of a recent back injury that left him incapable of doing things he used to take for granted, such as walking, showering, or making a cup of coffee. Dr. Banschick talks about the Stoics. Stoicism was founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early3rd century BC. The Stoics taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, and that a sage, or person of "moral and intellectual perfection," would not suffer such emotions. Said another way, Stoics believed that bad things can happen to good people and that life can be unfair.

In this program, Dr. Banschick talks about:

Getting through the pain of illness or divorce
Learning to value what you have, not what you've lost
The Spirituality of pain
Thinking twice before you move once
And much more.
