Divorce Without War: Rebuild Your Life Using Values, Clarity, and Better Information with Brenda Bridges

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Brenda Bridges to talk about big life transitions, especially divorce, and who you become on the other side. Brenda shares what rebuilding looked like after her own divorce and why “small steps” matter when everything feels chaotic.

This conversation is for anyone stuck in the messy middle of court dates, money fear, and emotional overload. You’ll learn how to anchor decisions to your values, reduce panic with better information, and choose a divorce process that fits your situation instead of defaulting to a fight.
