Navigating the Dual Nature of Divorce: Emotional and Legal Aspects

Divorce isn't just a legal battle—it's a profound emotional journey filled with stages of grief like denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Discover how poor emotional management can lead to skyrocketing legal costs, endless arguments, and unnecessary court battles over child custody and asset division. Join us as we explore the smart divorce approach, where a certified divorce coach provides emotional support and mindfulness techniques to achieve emotional closure, rational legal decisions, and long-term well-being for you and your kids' future.

  • Learn why separating emotional healing from legal decisions prevents adversarial divorce, reduces legal costs, and promotes fair outcomes in mediation and asset division.
  • Discover the role of a divorce coach in managing emotional complexity, offering emotional reserve, and guiding you toward emotional recovery without escalating child custody disputes.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
