Divorce doesn’t have to be devastating.

It can be empowering when approached with clarity and the right support.

In this episode, I sit down with Karen Covy, divorce coach, attorney, and mediator, to explore how women can take control of the divorce process. We talk about choosing the right process for your situation, understanding your finances, and why preparation and strategy make all the difference in creating a smoother transition and stronger future.

Key Takeaways:

• How planning early and understanding your financial picture can prevent years of regret
• What it means to become the “CEO of your own divorce” and coordinate your full team
