If you're in the thick of divorce, you already know the hardest part isn't the paperwork.

It's the 2am spiral, the text that hijacks your whole day, the quiet question of whether you'll ever feel like yourself again.

In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie Weber sits down with Christin Becker, a certified divorce coach and Divorce Support Collective member who walked away from a 27-year marriage and came out the other side thriving. Christin's signature framework is simple and a little startling: divorce is 80% emotional, 10% legal, and 10% financial.

If you aren't tending to that 80%, she explains, you'll end up making expensive, emotionally charged legal and financial decisions you can't take back. She breaks down what a divorce coach actually does (and how it's different from a therapist), a simple circles exercise for letting go of what you can't control, and her go-to communication rule for high conflict co-parenting: keep it concise, informative, and civil. She also gets honest about the part nobody promises you, that there's a real, joyful life waiting on the other side.

From DoorDashing during lonely dinner hours to sending her daughters to Maui, Christin shows what rebuilding actually looks like. Follow the show, leave a review, and visit thedivorcesupportcollective.com for resources and support.

Are all the accounts really being disclosed? What if something is being hidden?

When you're divorcing, few things feel more unsettling than wondering whether you're seeing the full financial picture.

In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie sits down with Becky Sampson, founder and CEO of Only Subpoenas, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood tools in the legal system.

Becky is not an attorney, and she's the first to say so. She's something arguably more relatable: someone who lived it. After 21 hearings, 21 subpoenas, and three and a half years in the Hawaii family court system, representing herself for most of it, she walked away with a fair and equitable outcome and a soft heart still intact. These days she's affectionately known as Becky Brockovich, and she helps people get the information they need to advocate for themselves.

In this conversation, you'll learn what a subpoena actually is (and why it's far less scary than crime shows make it look), when it makes sense to use one, why doing discovery first shows the court good faith, how to keep your heart soft even in a high-conflict divorce, and why advocating for what's fair could be the very thing that keeps you off the wrong side of a sobering statistic: 44% of women leave divorce in financial poverty.

Please note, Becky is not an attorney and nothing in this episode is legal advice.

"Am I going to be okay?"

When it comes to divorce and money, that's the question underneath all the others. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie sits down with Karise Gaynor-Morgan, an attorney turned wealth advisor with Bernstein Private Wealth Management in Minneapolis, to talk about how to find financial clarity and confidence no matter what stage of divorce you're in.

Karise is a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Exit Planning Advisor who came to this work through her own divorce, where she was the financially disadvantaged spouse. She knows firsthand how overwhelming the money piece can feel, and she's here to remind you that you can do hard things.

In this conversation, you'll learn when to bring a financial advisor into the picture (hint: earlier than you think), the questions to ask before you ever sign on with one, why finding the right advisor is a lot like dating, how to advocate for what's rightfully yours when emotions and scare tactics get in the way, and the post-divorce financial steps so many people forget, from updating beneficiaries to rebuilding your estate plan.

Whether you're contemplating, in the thick of it, or years past your decree, this episode will help you take that first bite of the elephant.
