Show notes

In this episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck, Dr. Joshua Ehrlich joins the program to discuss telling the kids your getting a divorce.

Is there a better age for a child to learn about divorce?
At what point should you tell the kids about your divorce?
What to say to the kids and the importance of having both parents present
What not to say to your children
How much does your child need to know?
And much more

The Upbeat Dad Organization - Empowering Dads & Supporting Families Apr 10, 2012

Show notes

This episode was recorded at TDE 2012 and features Rodrick Walters of The Upbeat Dad Organization based out of Miami, Florida. This is a great program for ALL dads to listen to and moms as well. If you know a father who's not being all he can be for the sake of his kids, please share this program with them.

Rodrick went through a devastating divorce in the early 2000s. His little girl was just three at the time and there were challenges that greatly reduced parenting time with his daughter, especially when his ex moved out of state. Some dads lose touch with their children due to the circumstances of their divorce and Rodrick encouraged dads to stay involved in the lives of their children.

Marital separation and divorce are challenging but they do not have to be destructive. With the Upbeat Dad approach, fathers can stay connected with their children and have a powerful impact in their life. This program is about manning up to be a good father. Our kids need us in their lives and we need them in ours.

The Breakdown of a Breakup Mar 31, 2012

Show notes

This program was recorded at The Divorce Expo in March, 2012, and features Singer/Songwriter, Terry Radigan. Radigan debuted her first solo record, Radigan, which was released in 2000, and was praised by the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, and Mademoiselle, among others. Since then, Radigan has had her songs recorded by powerhouses, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis, Patty Loveless, Anuna, City High, Vinyl Pinups, and many more.

Fast forward to 2012, and you’ll find Radigan's latest album, The Breakdown of a Breakup. The album is a candid story of the breakup of a twenty-year relationship; sorrow, anger, wilderness, and the final phase of empowerment and moving on.

Terry shares her personal breakup story and tells how writing her new album was a form of therapy. (The good news is, writers write some of their biggest hits during a breakup, and this album is awesome!) And if you find yourself going through divorce, you'll totally relate to her songs.

In this podcast, we feature two songs from Terry's new album, Love Wouldn't Lie To Me and Not Giving Up On Love. For more on Terry and her music, visit: www.TerryRadigan.com.

Does Your Life Have Purpose & Meaning? - How Relationships Work Mar 29, 2012

Show notes

On this episode of The Intelligent Divorce with Mark Banschick, M.D., Dr. James Hollis joins us and provides insight into our lives and relationships.

James Hollis, Ph.D., taught Humanities for 26 years in various colleges and universities before retraining as a Jungian analyst at the Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland. He is a licensed Jungian analyst in private practice, in Houston, Texas, where he is also Executive Director of the Jung Educational Center of Houston. Dr. Hollis has published eleven books with total sales well over 100,000 copies, the most recent being Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life (Gotham Books/Penguin).

What is your life's purpose, and does it have meaning? What happens when we get off purpose? Dr. Hollis helps us understand how we can be our worst enemy. Much of our current unrest can be attributed to our experiences as children and young adults. The paradox is that the adaptations that were necessary during childhood often stand as the imprisoning behaviors and values later in life.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "If I'm doing all the right things, why doesn't it feel right inside?" How do we inherit our past, and how is it affecting our current life? These questions, as well as thoughts on marriage and relationships, are discussed in this episode.
