Business Boundaries That Save You: Contracts, Custody & Communication feat. Anna Krolikowska

Ever felt like breaking up with your business partner was harder than breaking up with a spouse? Yeah…you’re not alone. In this episode of Communication Queens, host Kimberly Spencer sits down with powerhouse divorce attorney, mediator, and Amazon bestselling author Anna Krolikowska, who knows a thing or two about breakups—both in the courtroom and the boardroom.

Anna opens up about her own “business divorce” after 12 years of building a successful law firm. Spoiler: it didn’t end in flames—it ended in friendship. How? By leaning on communication, clarity, and collaboration instead of chaos.

This conversation is a masterclass in transformational storytelling as strategy, as Kimberly and Anna unpack:

• How to navigate the emotions of divorce—personal or professional—without letting fear hijack your brain.
• Why transparency with money and roles is non-negotiable for successful business partnerships.
• The life-saving shift from “listening to respond” to “listening to understand.”
• How to safely share your divorce story publicly without impugning anyone’s character (and yes, the legal must-knows too).

Oh, and in case you thought this episode was all serious business—plot twist! Anna also reveals her upcoming children’s book series inspired by her clients’ families. Because resilience isn’t just for adults.

Whether you’re facing a breakup in love or in business, this episode will help you reframe endings into beginnings, and challenges into collaborations.

Your story has the power to save a life—or a business. This episode shows you how.
