Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes Zachary Taylor to the Divorce & Beyond podcast! Learn the facts that you need to know when you are facing divorce and have to deal with one or more mortgages. It’s more complicated than you think, and in this case, knowledge is power.
Did you know mortgages can be one of the most important factors in your divorce? Knowing what to expect will help you move through your divorce (and beyond) with clarity and understanding. In addition, if you have the right mortgage broker, you can make agreements that benefit everybody.
Guest Zachary Taylor is a mortgage lender with 30 years of experience. Over 25% of his business involves people in some phase of the divorce process.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Some ways mortgage lending and the lending paperwork are different when facing divorce
- When it comes to mortgage loans, if you are receiving custodial or alimony support payments, you must prove that you have been receiving them for six months, NOT that you are supposed to be receiving it
- Do not wait until the middle of the divorce process or later to meet with a mortgage lender because you can give yourself more options as you negotiate your divorce if you understand what your borrowing power is
- “Information is your superpower.”
- Common mortgage and financial mistakes people make during divorce and how to avoid them
****************************************
About this week's special guest: Zach Taylor
Zachary Taylor is a mortgage lender with 30 years of experience. Over 25% of his business involves people in some phase of the divorce process.
Zach knows the divorce guidelines and can access programs from his company (Change Home Mortgage) and programs from dozens of other banks, lenders, and Wall Street investment firms. This allows him to achieve his main goals for his clients: Get them the best rate, and one that fits their situation, that can be approved, and that can be closed within the required time-frames.
The division of real estate property in a divorce can be challenging to navigate. Contacting Zach as early in the process as possible helps people to have a more seamless experience. He will determine if you can do a buyout or will have to sell. He will also determine if you can buy a new property based on your “post-divorce” situation using the buyout or sale proceeds. This can save time and prevent unexpected difficulties during the settlement process.
Zach has experience helping people who are going through divorce to better understand and determine the issues involving property and mortgages. Zach shares a common mission with the other professionals in the Carlsbad Hub: to provide information and support so that people can feel confident and have peace of mind with the decisions they make in the divorce process. Zach wants to be a valued resource, whether or not a new mortgage is needed, and can also help address issues about credit as well.
Included in Zach’s 30 years of lending experience is a 98% close ratio from 2008 to the present, which happens to be the tightest lending environment ever! He has closed over 2,000 transactions. His background includes underwriting and approving loans. For 16 years, he was Managing Broker, and Partner is a successful local mortgage company. He is a licensed California Real Estate Broker and passed the Federal and State Mortgage tests with all background checks required for the NMLS license. He is a graduate of U.C. San Diego with a B.A. in Economics.

This week Susan Guthrie, Esq., invites Lisa McGregor back to the show! In this episode, Lisa shares lessons from her personal journey to becoming the best parent that she can be and why it has nothing to do with how much time she has with her child. There is so much we can all learn from this episode!
Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women embrace their new role of part-time parenting. Shared parenting can come with a mixture of emotions, including the fear of being eliminated from your child’s life. Together, Susan and Lisa discuss how parenting time does not quantify your value as a parent. Lisa offers some insightful advice about creating awareness about part-time parenting and shifting your mindset in how you externalize and internalize your worthiness, value, and your child’s time with you. Embraced, celebrated, and experienced differently.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Your perception of the time you have with your child does not equate to your value as a parent
- Mindset shifts to help you focus on quality over quantity
- Giving yourself permission to feel your emotions helps you to move through them faster
- Tips for parents to make the most of the time with their child, as well as, how to utilize your time alone to heal

Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part-time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has motivated women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise. The first 17 years of her career were spent in the fitness industry. Still, after going through a divorce in 2017 and struggling to accept this unplanned chapter of part-time parenting, she felt called to show how she could embrace this journey and began to see this adjustment as a gift. Lisa quickly garnered a community of women who resonated and were ready to use their own co-parenting journey as a catalyst to a richer life. Lisa empowers Moms to leverage their time away to turn less into more. Lisa has shared her story on several podcasts & across multiple social media platforms and helps women put it all into action as a Life & Hypno Breath Work Coach.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes back Ginger Gentile as she shares her tried and true tips for alienated and estranged parents.
Parental alienation is a silent epidemic affecting families all over the United States (and beyond). Whatever term you choose to use to describe it - parental alienation, estrangement, or parental interference - emotions of alienated and estranged parents are fraught with fear. Often, the experience can be isolating. Parents feel as though there is no recovery, no coming back from this, or they simply don’t know what to do.
In this episode, Ginger Gentile joins Susan to help parents work to reunite with their children after divorce or separation. Together they discuss specific ways to manage emotions and behaviors that will eventually create lasting change and work to heal alienated parents’ relationships with their children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Communication is at the core of how you start reversing parental alienation.
- The importance of emotionally detaching and establishing a brief, informative, friendly, but firm communication with the co-parent
- Why earlier intervention can lead to better outcomes
- Focus on your behavior changes and yourself instead of your children's or ex's behavior
- “Changes must come from within. It takes time and work.”
****************************************
About this week's special guest: Ginger Gentile
Ginger Gentile is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Her first film on this topic, ERASING DAD, was filmed in Argentina and resulted in joint-custody legislation being enacted. Her latest film, ERASING FAMILY, currently streaming on all major platforms, exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives. This problem affects 22 million families in the US alone.
In her time serving as the Executive Director of the National Parents Organization in 2019, she added six new state affiliates and garnered national press attention for the Shared Parenting Report Card. Now, she is coaching parents suffering from parental alienation to help them reunite with their erased children GingerGentile.com/consulting
Her program for replicating the success of reunited families will soon be a podcast, course, and book.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes NY Times Best-Selling Author Dr. Shefali as she shares insights from her newest book, “The Parenting Map”
Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist and NY Times best-selling author of three books, including Conscious Parenting and The Awakened Family. She joins Susan to discuss her latest book, The Parenting Map, and the importance of integrating all aspects of ourselves into our parenting.
You’ll also hear why Dr. Shefali emphasizes the need for parents to work on themselves to support their children fully. The conversation touches on the impact of social media on children's development and the importance of being present and attentive as a parent in a world filled with constant stimulation and comparison.
Dr. Shefali offers insight and practical advice on how to best navigate conscious parenting and create deeper connections with our children.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include
- Why parents must take responsibility for their growth and transformation to become conscious parents. The focus of parenting needs to be on the PARENT.
- A perspective shift for parents to focus on their children's relationship with activities rather than their attachment to the outcome
- The importance of integrating our shadow elements and not shaming our children for theirs
- The impact of screens and social media on children's development includes a lack of ability to tolerate frustration, decreased attention span, and disconnection from reality and their own feelings.

This week on the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes Rebecca Feinglos as she shares her story of overcoming grief following her divorce and the iconic moment when Adele crashed her Las Vegas Divorce Party. You won’t want to miss this episode!
Grief is a messy and complicated emotion. And while that is the focal point of this episode, it will be one of the happiest episodes you will hear! After the death of her father in 2020 and her marriage ending, Rebecca Feinglos found herself overwhelmed by grief. So, in 2021, she founded Grieve Leave to document and share her journey and help others navigate their grief with humor and compassion.
In this episode, Susan and Rebecca discuss the importance of acknowledging grief and how to navigate it with self-compassion. When we see that grieving doesn’t only have to be about crying - we can move forward, find joy, and even celebrate it too.
Rebecca Feinglos blogs her personal experiences and shares tangible resources and actionable tips for dealing with relationship grief and divorce (with a healthy dose of humor baked in). Most recently, Rebecca went viral for throwing a “divorce party” in Vegas and bringing Adele to tears on stage.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Susan and Rebecca explore the common misconception that grief comes only with death - we grieve all kinds of losses in our lives
- How to intentionally grieve after a divorce, and why is it essential to do so
- Why we need to stop using the phrase “failed marriage” when we talk about divorce
- There will never be a divorce party quite like Rebecca’s divorce party!
- How Rebecca is bringing others together through the Grieve Leave community
****************************************
About this week's special guest: Rebecca Feinglos
Rebecca Feinglos is a grief educator, advocate, and the founder of online blog and digital community Grieve Leave. After ending her marriage during the fallout of her parents’ deaths, Rebecca quit her job to take a year-long sabbatical to grieve, founding Grieve Leave as an outlet to document her own journey with grief. The Grieve Leave community has grown to one of thousands, where Rebecca blogs her personal experiences and shares tangible resources and actionable tips for dealing with relationship grief and divorce (with a healthy dose of humor baked in).
Rebecca can be found on social media @rfeinglos.
You can keep up with her Grieve Leave journey at www.GrieveLeave.com.

Soberlink’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Intuitive Healer Holly Hughes! Listen in to hear the antidote to the Valentine’s Day blues and how to manage the unrealistic expectations of the Hallmark Holiday!
Valentine’s Day can be hard when you are going through a divorce. In this episode, Susan Guthrie and Holly Hughes discuss tactical ways and tips to honor your feelings and not fall victim to the commercialism or beliefs of what the holiday should or needs to be about.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include:
- Why Holly and Susan are NOT wearing red for this Valentine’s Day-focused episode
- Create your very own love note jar for YOURSELF
- Love is lost in the commercialism of Valentine’s Day, instead of love from a partner focus on things you love (your children, art, music, etc.)
- Allow yourself to feel your feelings, wallow in them in fact. Then pull yourself out of that space and you’ll feel a sense of relief
- “In order to feel and receive love, you have to have it for yourself first.”
- Why it is so important to listen to your inner voice and start recognizing what love actually feels like for you
- Joy is love. Bring some joy into your life today
