With the flurry of holidays right around the corner, it's time for a Special Bonus Episode to help you handle those Holiday Hassles and deal with all the hard stuff when it comes to your children and divorce. Susan is joined again but America's Favorite Parenting Expert and Best-Selling Author, Christina McGhee for deep dive into what really matters for your kids as you navigate two homes as a family. The episode tackles the really tough stuff that includes having to practice radical acceptance of what is as well as facing the fact that in some instances, well-meaning parents can actually bring additional strain on their children at what is supposed to be the happiest time of year.
Christina shares so many Golden Nuggets in this episode that it is hard to narrow it down to just a few but some key points she makes are:
- Start with the question, "what needs to stay the same and what needs to change?"
- Don't forget what it feels like to be a child during the holidays - it is easy to get caught up in our own feelings of loss but what is truly important?
- Remember that when you emphasize being "fair" about the timeshare during holidays, kids can feel like a commodity.
- Sometimes we have to accept that it is what it is and focus on making what we do have the best that it can be.
- Different doesn't have to mean devastating.
- Why the term "for now" needs to be your mantra.
This is THE episode that will help you face and deal with all the hard stuff about the holiday season head on so that you and your kids CAN have a happy holiday season!

Throughout our lives we have many kinds of celebrations - when there is the birth of a baby, we celebrate with baby showers, or for birthdays, we celebrate with parties.

On this week’s episode of Divorce & Beyond, Host, Susan Guthrie, is joined by Certified Divorce Lending Professional, Tami Wollensak. Together they discuss creative solutions around what you can and can’t do with the marital home in a divorce!
So you want to keep the house in your divorce? You’re not alone. The marital home and what is going to happen with it is one of the first questions soon-to-be-divorced couples ask when meeting with a divorce attorney or professional. The home is often one of the biggest assets and the mortgage is one of the biggest debts of divorce.
In this episode, Susan and Tami explore solutions around the marital home, discuss some of the things you need to consider before keeping it, what you need to know about lending options, and other difficulties or situations that may arise.
Tami Wollensak is a licensed mortgage loan originator and a 25+ year veteran of the industry, she has experience working in multiple roles and facets of the industry. She has discovered her true passion in helping divorcing individuals navigate their home equity solutions while going through the most challenging time of their life.
Conversation Golden Nuggets:
- Divorce mortgage planning provides options to help you make a more informed decision about the marital home
- Defining what the equity/value of a home is at the time of a divorce
- If you are awarded the home, you will probably need to refinance and take out a new mortgage
- Property taxes and homeowner insurance become your responsibility, the cost of these may change once you refinance
- If you keep the house, the mortgage is not your only responsibility! Tami shares why getting a home inspection can help you decide if you wish to pursue keeping the marital home or not
If keeping the home post-divorce is something you are considering, this episode is a must-listen!

On this week’s episode, Host, Susan Guthrie, welcomes Holly Hughes, an Intuitive Healer, to discuss tips for taking your self-care to the next level when facing divorce or any significant struggle!
Most people going through divorce feel numb or devastated. It’s also not uncommon to lose sight of who you are or were as your marriage comes to an end. While there are many answers to help you heal, sometimes the answer is in the form of self-care.
Holly Hughes joins Susan Guthrie for an enlightening conversation about self-care and how it starts with being aware of your own needs. You can’t take care of anyone else (your children, for example) if you aren’t taking care of yourself first.
In this episode, Holly and Susan take a deep dive into many forms of self-care. Self-care does not need to be an insurmountable task - it can look like coloring, listening to music, or dancing, - simply take small steps in your day to make yourself feel better.
Holly Hughes is an intuitive energy healer, speaker, and author of the book, “Real Not Perfect: How to Become Your Happy Authentic Self.”
Conversation Golden Nuggets include:
- When you create a pattern of self-care, those who love you and see the benefit, for you and for them, will encourage it
- Experiencing a moment of joy may help you define what is hurting and needs healing
- Part of self-care includes putting your phone down!
- Start your day with kindness to yourself
- Sometimes, self-care requires you to say, “No,” to certain people or things in your life
- Crying is good. Wallowing, however, is not.
Self-care can be simple and yet still have a lasting impact. Listen to this episode to hear how to take small steps towards radical self-care, today!
About this week's special guests: Holly Hughes
Holly is an award-winning author, speaker, and intuitive healer who infuses her unique personal style, intuitive gifts, and personal healing stories to guide clients through a step-by-step process to help them claim their voice, passions, and self-worth. She helps heal your broken heart so the pain from your past stops limiting your future.

The Divorce Doctor, Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, returns to the Divorce & Beyond podcast! Join Dr. Elizabeth and Susan Guthrie, Esq., for a conversation about the greatest gift that you can give to yourself – forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a topic that everyone, divorce or not, needs to know more about because it is so powerful, yet so misunderstood. When the topic comes up, it can often sound like nails on a chalkboard. But, did you know that there are demonstrable mental health benefits to forgiveness? It has been shown to elevate mood, and guard against anger, stress, or even depression. Also, when you seek to forgive, it can have positive effects on all facets of your life.
Dr. Elizabeth joins Susan for an impactful conversation about how to forgive yourself (and others), let go of resentment, embrace compassion, and create a new beginning. Forgiveness helps you let go of a past that no longer serves you, and helps you move toward a more joyful future.
Dr. Elizabeth Cohen is the CEO and founder of the online divorce course and membership Afterglow: The Light at the Other Side of Divorce.
Golden Nuggets from Dr. Elizabeth Cohen include:
- Dr. Elizabeth shares the amazing story about forgiveness that inspired this episode
- Forgiving is a process - it’s not linear, it’s not fast; it is work
- Stay away from JADE: Justify, Argue, Defend, and Explaining
- Forgiveness and resentment are not about the OTHER person, they are about YOU. You have the power to shift how you feel about the other person
- We acknowledge there are some things that are not forgivable - such as criminal acts or sexual assault
- You don’t have to forgive a perpetrator - but you may be able to release the power of resentment in your life
- Forgiveness is about your future
This episode is an invitation to give yourself a chance to live anger or resentment free. Listen to give the gift of forgiveness to yourself today!
