🎙️ Episode 35: Intentional Divorce – Creating a Support Team That Saves Money and Heartache with James Traub, CDC

Affirmation of the Episode: ✨ “Let me be open to courageously take the steps that are shown.” This episode invites you to open your heart and mind to the support, guidance, and next steps that can lead you through divorce with greater ease, intention, and transformation.

In this powerful and insightful episode, I’m joined by James Traub, Certified Divorce Coach (CDC) and founder of Best Possible Divorce. James helps parents across the country navigate the critical early stages of separation with compassion, clarity, and practical strategy. Drawing from both professional training and his own healing journey, James specializes in guiding clients through emotional overwhelm so they can protect parent-child bonds and minimize the financial and emotional cost of divorce.

Together, we explore:

• Why intentionality is essential in divorce—and how to cultivate it

• The CDC certification and what makes divorce coaching such a vital support tool

• Why hiring the right support team (yes, more than just one lawyer!) can actually save money

• The most common mindset mistakes people make in divorce

• The truth about venting—and what to do instead

• Reclaiming power and staying in the driver’s seat of your divorce

• How to re-engage communication with your spouse—even after conflict

• The value of working with grounded, emotionally regulated professionals

• How divorce can be a catalyst for transformation

💡 James shares his thoughtful, grounded approach to helping clients get clear on what they want their post-divorce life to look like, and how to reverse-engineer the support and decisions needed to get there. Whether you’re contemplating divorce, in the midst of it, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers wisdom, strategy, and hope.
