This week on Divorce & Beyond with Susan Guthrie, Susan welcomes Professor Kelly Browe Olson. Kelly shares actionable tips on navigating both the “new normal” of the divorce process AND the REAL new normal of life after divorce.
Key takeaways include the importance of filtering advice amidst the influx of opinions, the role of professionals in facilitating challenging conversations and boundaries, and the crucial aspect of emotional intelligence during divorce.
Professor Kelly Browe Olson also shares practical insights on improving emotional intelligence and encourages strategic thinking about one's current situation and future aspirations. Join us as we delve into the complexities of divorce with expert guidance for adapting to the ever-changing landscape of your beyond.
Topics and Golden Nuggets includ
