Divorce Confidently Episode 5 - What Support Do YOU Need? How to Customize Your Divorce Team

Going through a divorce? You don't have to do it alone—but you also don't need a "one-size-fits-all" solution. In this episode of Divorce Confidently, hosts Kelly Myers and Erik Feig explain why divorce is not a Puzzle (where there is only one "right" picture to assemble), but rather like building with LEGOs—where you start with a pile of pieces and build the structure that works for your unique life . We break down exactly how to conduct an "Internal Audit" to identify your goals, and then how to hire the specific professionals (Coach, CDFA, Mediator) who fit your blueprint. What You'll Learn: ✔️ The "Lego" Mindset: Why treating divorce like a creative build leads to better outcomes than trying to solve a rigid puzzle . ✔️ The Internal Audit: How to identify your "North Star" and rank your priorities before you hire anyone . ✔️ Coach vs. Therapist: The crucial difference between "processing the past" and "strategizing for the future" . ✔️ The Bedside Manner Test: Specific questions to ask attorneys to ensure they align with your goals (and don't just escalate conflict) . ✔️ Financial & Real Estate Strategy: Why looking for "free consultations" with mortgage and real estate specialists can save you thousands . Whether you are just considering divorce or are stuck in the middle of the process, this guide will help you build a team that makes you feel supported, not stressed. 💡 FREE RESOURCE: Download our "Divorce Support Interview Guide & Internal Audit" to help you ask the right questions and find the perfect fit for your unique situation: Coming Soon Video Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction: Setting the stage for divorce success 02:00 - The "North Star": Creating your guiding principles 09:00 - Legos vs. Puzzles: A new way to think about your team 17:00 - The "Insurance Policy": Understanding cost vs. value 23:00 - The Divorce Coach: Your project manager and guide 29:00 - Therapist vs. Coach: Knowing the difference 34:00 - Financial Experts: CDFAs, tax advisors, and mortgage specialists 43:00 - Legal Guidance: finding an attorney with the right "bedside manner" 52:00 - Final thoughts and next steps About the Hosts: Kelly Myers is a Divorce Coach, Mediator, and Co-Parenting Specialist helping individuals navigate the emotional and practical transition of divorce.
