Why Reflection Changes Divorce Outcomes | Season 4, Episode 7
Divorce requires people to make important decisions about their children, finances, homes, and futures—often while experiencing anger, fear, grief, and uncertainty.
In Episode 7 of The Restorative Divorce Podcast, Erin Birt begins Part 2 of Season 4 with themes from The 90-Day Restorative Divorce® Workbook. Erin explores how slowing reactivity, regulating emotions, and using structured thinking can help people make more thoughtful decisions during divorce.
Drawing from the workbook’s exercises on understanding emotions, recognizing triggers, and mapping emotions to reactions, Erin explains why reflection isn’t about avoiding difficult decisions. It’s about creating enough space to separate an emotional reaction from the decision that actually needs to be made.
Sometimes what changes the direction of a divorce is simply taking the time to recognize what you’re feeling, understand what triggered it, and decide what actually needs to happen next.
“Try not to judge them—just observe.”

The Real Cost of Divorce Conflict | Season 4, Episode 6
How much does divorce conflict really cost?
Attorney fees are only part of the answer. In Episode 6 of The Restorative Divorce Podcast, Erin Birt explores how unnecessary escalation can increase legal expenses, prolong the divorce process, affect children, and consume the time and energy families need to rebuild.
Drawing from The Kitchen Table Divorce®, Erin also shares a real client story in which structured cooperation helped reduce legal costs and explains why preparing the table—and adding the right professional to it at the right time—can make such a significant difference.
Sometimes the most expensive part of divorce isn't the legal process itself. It's what unnecessary conflict takes from the family along the way.
