Ep. 34 - Is Divorce Day real
Every January, headlines scream about a surge in break‑ups after the holidays – but is the first Monday really the tipping point for marriages?<br /><br />In this episode, Tim and Jen tackle one of the biggest myths in the media: Divorce Day. They discuss the notion that the first Monday after the Christmas and New Year break sees a surge of divorce enquiries.<br /><br />Analysing Mills & Reeve data from recent years, they reveal that January is not necessarily the busiest month for divorce enquiries. The conversation covers data patterns, media influence, and the thoughtful decision-making process behind divorce.

Ep. 33 - How to work with a divorce coach on an international divorce
Navigating divorce is never easy, but when multiple jurisdictions are involved, the process can quickly become overwhelming.<br /><br />In this episode, Tim and Jen are joined by Chloe Oudiz, a divorce coach and author of 'Don't Screw Up Your Divorce.' Chloe shares her extensive background, including her experience as a divorcee navigating multiple jurisdictions and cross-border parenting arrangements.<br /><br />Chloe explains how these experiences led her to become a divorce coach and discusses the three pillars of her 'divorce differently' methodology: planning and preparation, negotiation skills, and deescalating conflict. The conversation also covers the unique challenges faced by international couples and the importance of communication throughout the divorce process and beyond.<br /><br />Listeners can expect practical advice on how to approach divorce as a less destructive and more family-centred opportunity for a fresh start.<br /><br />Find out more about Chloe Oudiz on her website: <a href="https://www.thedivorceandseparationcoach.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.thedivorceandseparationcoach.com</a>.
