Your values shape every relationship you have - so what happens to them during a separation?
Kate is joined by Katie Lancaster, an executive and leadership coach, to explore why holding onto your values during divorce can change everything about how you come out the other side. If you're trying to get through a divorce or separation in a kinder, calmer way, this conversation is full of practical tips to help you stay grounded.
We talk about:
- How to stay true to yourself in tough divorce negotiations - even when emotions are running high
- The ABC technique (awareness, breathe, choose) for moving from reaction to response
- Why self-compassion is a non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have
- Why your divorce might not feel over even when the paperwork says it is
This episode is for anyone going through separation or divorce who wants to come through it feeling stronger, kinder and more like themselves.
