If you’re separating or divorcing and want to avoid unnecessary conflict, this episode offers an exclusive preview of Kate's book amicable divorce – with practical guidance straight from the author to help you approach separation in a calmer, more child-focused way.

In this special mini episode, Kate takes you through the key chapters of amicable divorce, sharing the insights, stories and expert guidance that shaped the book – from changing the negative story we tell about divorce to helping parents see separation through their children’s eyes.

Kate covers:

  • How slowing down at the start can prevent long-term conflict
  • Why emotional readiness matters as much as legal steps
  • What ‘amicable’ really means – and what it doesn’t
  • How to make child-focused decisions about parenting and money
  • Why understanding finances reduces fear and arguments
  • How to move from ‘us’ to ‘me’ with care and self-compassion
