This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes podcaster and child of divorce Grace Casper to the Divorce & Beyond podcast. Grace shares insights on what your kids wish you knew about how your divorce impacts them.
The scariest part of divorce for parents is how it may negatively impact their kids. In this episode, Grace Casper joins Susan to offer her unique perspective (as a child of divorce) about what kids need, want, think, and feel about divorce and how it affects them. During this conversation and in Grace’s new book, Dear Parents: Notes From a Child of Divorce, Grace shares how you can help your kids through a divorce and have open and ongoing conversations with them.
Grace Casper’s world changed forever when her parents told her that they were getting a divorce. In the wake of this, Grace started writings tips for her younger brother based on what she was learning from her parents’ divorce, trying to help him as they went from house to house. Fourteen years later, Grace began the first draft of the book that would be borne from these tips, writing in the hopes of being able to provide parents with a look into the effects of divorce on their children with first-hand experience. She also runs a page called Divorce Tips From Kids and a podcast called "Divorce: What I Wish My Parents Knew." This podcast allows other children of divorce to share their stories.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Creating a catalyst for conversations with children about divorce - conversations about divorce are not a one-and-done conversation
- How to empower your kids (and keep them at the center) - a good place to start is to trial co-parenting schedules and ask them for input
- Golden Nugget! Grace’s “suggestion box” approach to parenting during divorce
- Teaching your kids to find the good
- Find a safe person to share your thoughts and feelings with about divorce that is NOT your children
- It is a gift to your child and yourself to be able to be the safe parent

Today on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by guest Karen Covy as she shares what you need to know and do to make good decisions. This is especially important during divorce, so listen in!
Divorce is a time when you are going to make important life decisions in a short period. If you don’t know how or don’t do it well, you will kick yourself in the aftermath. When discussing divorce, we don’t typically talk about making sound, reasoned decisions and, more specifically, how to make them. In this episode, Karen takes us through a scientific approach to decision-making. She helps you become the CEO of divorce and learn how to make those big decisions and do it well. You never want to look back and think, I wish I had thought that through more clearly - so be sure to listen and learn!
Karen Covy is a Divorce and Decision Coach, Lawyer, Mediator, Speaker, and Author. She coaches busy professionals and business owners who want to make clear, confident decisions during highly-charged emotional situations. Karen also helps her clients become the CEOs of their divorce so that they can navigate their divorce with less conflict, less expense, and less damage to themselves and their children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- What the science of decision-making tells us about deciding to divorce - Hint: it’s all emotional.
- How to make a big, emotional decision when there’s a lot at stake, and you don’t want to screw up
- “A big part of the decision-making process is figuring out what you want and then believing you have the ability to create that thing.”
- Where to start when deciding whether you should stay or go
- Why it’s important to reality-test your options
- “If you don’t take action on a decision, it’s not really a decision.”

This week on Divorce and Beyond, as we celebrate America's Independence, Susan has created a week-long series of mini-episodes where she will be busting the Top 5 Divorce Myths for you so that you can celebrate your freedom from their misleading and harmful assumptions!
Myth #5: If a Divorce Is Happening, Then Someone Did Something Wrong
Debunking the Blame Game in Divorce – Myth Busting Series Finale with Susan
Does divorce always imply guilt? Must there always be a 'bad guy' for a relationship to end? In the grand finale of our special Divorce Myth Busting series, our host Susan invites you to rethink the narrative around this life-altering decision.
In this episode, Susan disentangles the misconceptions that surround the reasons for divorce, setting the record straight on 'fault' versus 'no-fault' grounds and explaining why 'irreconcilable differences' is more than just a legal catchphrase.
Divorce can be a difficult topic to navigate, and it's not always about finding fault. Join Susan as she navigates through the complex terrain of divorce laws and uncovers the truth that lays hidden behind societal assumptions. This episode is not just about busting myths; it's about understanding that endings can sometimes be new beginnings.
Unravel the truth and rethink divorce with Susan. Because not all endings are failures, and every story has more than one side.
Catch the finale episode of our Divorce Myth Busting series – for a perspective shift you won't want to miss!

Myth #2: Moms Always Get Custody in Divorce. In this special episode of our Myth Busting Mini-Episodes series, Susan tackles the myth that mothers always get custody of the children in a divorce. She explores the reality that, in most cases, both parents have an equal right to custody of their children. Custody arrangements should be based on the best interests of the children, not the gender of the parent. Susan delves into the factors that influence custody decisions and highlights the importance of creating a nurturing environment for children during and after divorce. Join us as Susan debunks this pervasive myth and sheds light on the truth behind child custody in divorce.

Myth #1: Divorce means WAR! One of the most pervasive myths about divorce is that it means a long, acrimonious and horrible process where the spouses, and their children, are constantly caught in a cycle of conflict. In fact, it is this myth that often prompts people at the beginning of their divorce to hire the meanest attorney they can find and to do things like hide money and service papers immediately. But is this true? Does divorce mean war?
