Life often throws curveballs that leave us feeling overwhelmed or trapped - especially during challenging times like divorce. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Dr. Carrie Johansson, a psychologist and author affectionately known as "The Sensible Psychologist," introduces a powerful yet simple framework that will shift you out of the "Drama Triangle" so you can reclaim your life.

Throughout this podcast episode, Dr. Johansson reveals practical tools that allow you to honestly assess your situation without judgment and finally break free from the cycle of avoidance that’s keeping you stuck. She also highlights the crucial mindset shift that will help you stop waiting for motivation and move forward into action.

Dr. Johansson also challenges conventional wisdom about relationships, suggesting that collaboration - NOT compromise - leads to healthier partnerships. By changing predictable conflict patterns and accepting that some disagreements may never be fully resolved, couples can move from resentment to understanding, creating relationships that feel less like work and more like joy.

Dr. Johansson’s straightforward yet compassionate approach helps you discover your "next best move" in any situation, guiding you toward the outcomes you truly desire.

Imagine discovering that your once-loving adult child has suddenly become a stranger, cutting you off from their life and your grandchildren over seemingly trivial incidents like giving them a strawberry or a cup of water. Tracy Malone, an international divorce and narcissist abuse survival coach, reveals a disturbing trend of narcissistic alienation of adult children. This alienation occurs when an adult child's narcissistic partner systematically isolates them from their parents, siblings, and other family members.

The narcissist’s tactics usually follow a calculated pattern, starting with love-bombing the family before marriage, then gradually introducing false allegations and twisted interpretations of normal interactions to drive wedges between parents and their adult child. This psychological manipulation can lead to complete estrangement or seriously limited contact.

What’s worse, the narcissist often “splits” the parents, choosing one who is identified as “bad,” while the other is still allowed contact with their adult child. That strategy can then create devastating conflict in the parents’ marriage.

If you're navigating the intricacies of parental estrangement or seeking ways to protect your loved ones from narcissistic behavior, this episode offers essential insights and practical survival strategies.

Here's a secret that most employers and government agencies don’t know. An employee’s divorce costs the company or government agency that the employee works for far more than it costs the employee to go through it. That’s especially true in first responder divorce.

Divorcing employees experience a loss of productivity, increased absences, increased distractions, and a higher turnover rate than non-divorcing employees. Since first responders experience divorce at a much higher rate than the general public, this is even more of a problem for them.

Vicky Townsend, a trailblazer in the divorce industry, set out to change all that.

Vicky has created a groundbreaking program that supports employees - particularly first responders - during the tumultuous divorce process. Employees in these programs get access to concierge-level divorce coaching, mediation services, marriage counseling resources, and specialized support for complex situations like religious divorces or high-conflict cases.

The support they receive not only relieves the employee’s anxiety, but it also reduces the financial cost of divorce – both for the employee and the employer.

Vicky is currently focusing this program on first responders whose job-related stress contributes to higher divorce rates and the need for more nuanced divorced guidance.

If you or anyone you know is a first responder, or works for a forward-thinking company, this episode is one that you’ll not only want to listen to, but you’ll want your boss to listen to it as well.

About Vicky

Vicky Townsend is a trailblazing entrepreneur and advocate, dedicated to transforming the divorce process into a kinder, more affordable experience. As the founder of the National Association of Divorce Professionals, Divorce Right, and Fairwell, she has spent over two decades championing solutions that protect families from the financial and emotional toll of divorce. Her recent efforts focus on supporting first responders and military personnel during this challenging life transition. With unwavering commitment, Vicky continues to innovate and lead the charge for a more compassionate divorce industry.
