Leanne's Divorcing Well podcast: The male perspective

Divorce can bring out the worst in people, something Steve Kee knows all too well.

In the years after he and his wife separated, Steve, a successful communications executive, says he was consumed with anger and often aimed it directly at his ex.

I spoke to Steve on a recent episode of my Divorcing Well podcast about his experience of divorce, regrets, blended families and his advice for others going through it.

“You don’t need to have the last word. Sometimes it’s best to walk away. Silence can speak volumes," he says.

The Dish on Divorce: Consider a coach in high-conflict divorce

The best way to get through a contentious divorce is to assemble a team that can support and guide you during the process. In addition to your family lawyer and financial advisor, a coach can be a valuable resource to help you navigate unchartered waters.

In a recent episode of The Dish on Divorce, accredited mediator Jennifer Barkin and I spoke to certified life coach Stacey Mendelson about her approach for working with clients involved in a high-conflict divorce.

Mendelson runs Lifeline Coaching, where she helps clients develop strategies for dealing with a toxic ex. Having been through her own acrimonious divorce, she empowers clients to shift their perspective and to neutralize the bombs being lobbed at them during the divorce process.
