In this episode of Dishing on Divorce, host Mandy Pullen Barr welcomes Laura McGee, J.D., founder of Leave Strong Divorce Services and a trusted Vesta professional. With a law degree from the University of British Columbia and over four decades of experience, Laura brings a unique blend of legal expertise, mediation skills, and compassionate coaching to her clients in California and beyond.
Laura works with people in one of two ways:
-
As a neutral mediator for couples, she helps both parties reach peaceful resolutions through a flat-fee, client-centered approach.
- As an individual divorce coach, she guides clients through the emotional and strategic aspects of divorce.
Together, Mandy and Laura explore:
-
The difference between working with Laura as a coach vs. a mediator—and why you can’t be both.
-
How Laura’s Canadian legal background informs her U.S. mediation and coaching practice.
-
The benefits of flat-fee mediation, flexible scheduling, and transparency in process and cost.
-
Laura’s expertise is in co-parenting plans and support for reorganized families.
-
Key questions to ask when interviewing divorce professionals to ensure the right fit.
Whether you're contemplating divorce or already deep in the process, Laura’s grounded, strategic approach helps clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
