Welcome, Dr. Marlene to the show. She is a practicing psychotherapist who specializes in helping contentious divorcing parents get the best mutual agreement in their co-parenting space. We connected on Linkedin and realized we are here in the same city, Colorado Springs, CO. Her discussions of safety concerns, grandparents' rights, and not using the kids as pawns lead the conversation on the podcast. I feel we only scratched the surface with our interview, and definitely have Dr. Marlene back for some more words of wisdom for my men over 40.

Welcome Andrew Dewar, CPA to the podcast. He runs a personal development company and podcast called Five Year You. He engages others in their power of self-improvement. His obstacles in life created this superpower. While directing people to peel the onion-like layers back to find out who they are, Andrew offers us the theory that we are doomed to repeat the negativities in our lives if we don’t learn from the lessons that got us here. This is a very insightful interview. Thanks, Andrew.
