As a family law attorney, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate co-parenting when alcohol is involved, especially around the holidays.
Soberlink is a breathalyzer that ensures your co-parent is staying sober while they have the kids, which is especially important during this time of year, when alcohol can be present at so many gatherings.
Soberlink is trusted by family law professionals for a reason. It’s the top alcohol monitoring system, and its court-admissible data can make all the difference in custody situations.
If you’re looking for more certainty and safety this holiday season, visit www.soberlink.com/susan to learn more and get $50 off your device.

Going through a divorce is tough, and self-care can easily get overlooked. Something that helped me was creating a cozy space to relax.
I found Parachute Home—bedding and home goods that bring real comfort. Imagine ending your day wrapped in the softest sheets or a warm blanket.

Beverly Price reveals the invisible scars that complicate healing during and after divorce for abuse victims in this powerful Domestic Violence Awareness Month episode of Divorce & Beyond.
Susan Guthrie sits down with Beverly Price, a divorce coach and advocate for domestic violence survivors, to uncover the harsh realities of how divorce can re-traumatize victims. Together, they explore how untrained divorce professionals and legal abuse can exacerbate the trauma of domestic violence. Plus, Beverly shares critical advice on creating a safety exit plan, building support systems, and why trauma-informed care is essential.
Featured topics:
- The various ways divorce can re-introduce trauma for those already traumatized in their relationship
- Unintentional re-traumatization by professionals not versed in domestic violence and how to encourage victims to seek trauma-informed experts
- Understanding legal abuse and how abusers can continue to manipulate and control throughout the legal process
- The importance of trauma counseling to help victims process and heal from their experiences
- How to find a trauma-informed divorce coach and the impact of having the right support
- Navigating personal turmoil, regret, and shame while going through divorce after being victimized
- The necessity of creating a safe exit plan—especially because 70% of women are murdered when leaving an abusive relationship
Golden nuggets:
“There's a process that can happen that takes a person from being traumatized to then going through divorce and being re-traumatized. It's the action of, in some cases, facing the abuser, whether it's in mediation or whether it's in litigation. That in itself can be terrible.”
“You didn't cause it. I've been working with a woman for almost a year to watch her get stronger and not blame herself. But it takes work because if you think about it, all the years that you were subject to it [the abuse], you're not going to flip a switch and all of a sudden feel confident and feel like it's not your fault. But it is the abuser's fault. He's not doing it to you. He's doing it for himself.”

In this 'From the Archive' episode of Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie revisits one of the most powerful and popular discussions with the extraordinary Kate Anthony. If you're at a crossroads in your marriage or relationship, this episode is an absolute must-listen.
Kate Anthony is back, right in her wheelhouse, guiding you through one of the most challenging decisions you'll ever face: Is there still hope for your relationship, or is it time to move on? On average, people spend four years agonizing over whether to stay or go. That's four years of wondering, trying, giving up, and trying again. But Kate understands the complexity of this decision, and she’s here to help you navigate it with clarity and confidence.
In this deep and insightful conversation, Susan and Kate explore the emotional and practical aspects of deciding whether to stay in a relationship or move forward. Whether you're dealing with clear signs like abuse, adultery, or addiction, or you're struggling with the slow drip of uncertainty, Kate's wisdom will resonate with you. She not only helps people make this difficult decision but also supports them in crafting a plan for the future if the decision is to go.
If you're questioning the viability of your marriage or relationship, this episode could be the turning point you've been looking for.
About Kate Anthony:
Kate Anthony is the host of the New York Times recommended podcast, The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast, and a divorce coach who helps women (with children, especially) decide if they should stay in or leave their marriages – and then either helps them heal their relationships, or exit with grace. She is also the author of the bestselling book, "The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage"
For the last decade she has worked with hundreds of women all over the world, helping them make the most difficult decision of their lives and transition out of toxic marriages.
Kate is passionate about empowering women to find their strength, passion, and confidence, even in the most disempowering circumstances. She helps them move forward with a solid plan, always keeping their children at the center (but not in the middle) of all their decisions.
In addition to her online programs, Kate works privately with clients around the world. She lives in Los Angeles with her teenage son, whom she lovingly co-parents with her ex-husband, along with their two dogs and a handful of fish.
