***Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic discussion about sex crimes against children and we use appropriate anatomical terms and language throughout the episode. ***
Sadly, in the world we live in today, talking with your kids about sex and how babies are made isn't the most difficult conversation you need to have with them. With the reality of sex crimes against children, and in a world where there are untold predators that prey on the most vulnerable, parents must also warn and prepare their children for potential dangers that can lurk most anywhere. This week's guest, veteran sex crimes prosecutor, Stacey Honowitz, has had a front row seat for decades and has worked tirelessly to convict those who violate our children. She has literally seen it all, including that fact that many parents don't have those difficult talks with their kids about the dangers that lurk out there. She knows how necessary it is to talk with your kids about this and she wants you to know as well. In fact, she has coined the term "parental malpractice" for the failure to prepare your kids for the potential situation where someone touches them improperly or worse.
Stacey shares some true crime details in this episode, as well as specifics on what you need to tell your kids. She is also the author of three books, The Bully at School is Really Uncool, Genius With a Penis, Don’t Touch and My Privates are Private, all designed to help you have those necessary conversations with your children. Don't commit parental malpractice. Listen to this episode and help your kids stay safe!
SPECIAL BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away one copy of each of Stacey's three books this week. If you would like to be a winner, simply share the BOOK GIVEAWAY post on Instagram to your Stories (you can find it on the @susanguthrie, @divorceandbeyond or @staceybhonowitz accounts) AND tag all three accounts! Winners will be announced on Sunday, February 13, 2022!

This week Host, Susan Guthrie talks with Narcissistic Abuse Expert, Tracy Malone, all about what you absolutely MUST know if you are divorcing a narcissist!
Divorce is hard. Divorcing a Narcissist? Well that is a whole different ballgame! One of the biggest problems for those who are divorcing someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is that they don't understand what they are dealing with and are therefore, unable to plan and strategize. In fact, most people divorcing narcissist feel like they are constantly playing defense, trying to catch up and simply treading water in a attempt to survive the constant onslaught of motions, communications and outright lies that seem never-ending. Tracy Malone is a survivor of narcissistic abuse herself and she joins Susan today to help you to learn all about what to expect in your divorce from a narcissist so that you can be proactive, plan and move your divorce forward. Tracy recently released her first book, Divorcing Your Narcissist: You Can't Make this Sh** Up, a major collection of facts and examples of what you can expect during your divorce as well as tips and advice for how to handle each and every situation!
Listen in to this episode if you are divorcing a Narcissist and get the facts that give you the ADVANTAGE because as Tracy says, "if you are aware, you can prepare!"

Fresh off her visits with Good Morning America and The Today Show (among others), America's Favorite Dating Expert, Bela Gandhi, stops in to chat with Susan Guthrie about the very human drama of falling in love with the wrong person and how we can "fix our picker" to find a lasting love.
We have talked about the fact that Peak Dating Season is ongoing in January each year but for many people all that dating leads to making poor choices in partners, sometimes over and over again. In fact, although we may think that we would select better spouses after going through a divorce, in reality, with each subsequent marriage, the chances of divorce greatly increase. The numbers break down like this:
- 41% of first marriages end in divorce.
- 60% of second marriages end in divorce.
- 73% of third marriages end in divorce.
So why do we continue to make poor choices in mates and much more importantly, HOW DO WE FIX OUR PICKER?
Bela Gandhi, the Founder of Smart Dating Academy knows and she shares it ALL. The red flags vs. the green flags and why we ignore them both. The fact that we are hard-wired for the hormone rush but that oxytocin glow can derail our real desires, and bottom line, how to identify the elevator people in your life so that you can find the right one for your love life!
It's all here and trust us, when you are done listening to this episode, you WILL be psychotically optimistic about your chances of find real and lasting love too!
To hear more about the elevator people in our lives check out Bela's recent phenomenal TEDx Chicago Talk and listen to her BRAND NEW PODCAST! Smart Dating Academy: The Podcast with Bela Gandhi. Susan is Bela's first guest: Listen to the episode here: https://audioboom.com/posts/8006156

More About Bela:
Bela Gandhi is the Founder of the Smart Dating Academy. She has an uncanny sixth sense about people, and what they need. Her intuition has been responsible for several marriages (and children)! The Huffington Post and Steve Harvey call her "The Fairy Godmother of Dating!"
Bela has been connecting people all of her life. Prior to founding the Smart Dating Academy, Bela worked for 12 years as a top global executive for Akzo Nobel, a large multinational corporation.

In addition, Christina shares the two major upsides for your family that can come from this experience!

For More Information on This Week's Special Guest: Christina McGhee is a speaker and divorce parenting expert who believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. While splitting up is undeniably hard, with the right kind of information and support, she thinks parents can be children's absolute best resource as life changes.
As a coach with 20+ years of experience, Christina is dedicated to providing parents with the tools and practical support they need to get it right for their kids. She is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, Parenting Apart: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids.
As a child of divorce and as a bonus mom (aka step-mom), Christina gets plenty of opportunities to practice what she preaches. Together she and her husband have four “adultish” children (2 bonus, 2 bio), an ever-growing community of rescue dogs/cats, and an obscene number of chickens.

In this episode, Top Family Law Attorney, Susan Guthrie speaks with friend and host of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast, Kate Anthony about the right way to tell your spouse that you have decided to divorce.
It is January 3rd, 2022, the first Monday in the New Year and that means that it is D-Day (Divorce Day) the day that more people reach out to divorce attorneys and other divorce professionals than any other day of the year. This kicks off what we in the industry call Divorce Month (January) and Divorce Season (January - March) because traditionally, this is when people, those who have been considering divorce for a long time or those who make a quick decision, find themselves pulling the trigger and moving forward.
The decision to divorce is hard, and can take a long time, but the next step, telling your spouse, is one of the most critical steps in the process and it is imperative to do it right! Kate Anthony, Susan's guru on all things communication, joins her for this episode to help you plan that conversation so that you start things off the best way possible. Trust us, this is truly one of the most important conversations that you will ever have and it pays to put time and effort into doing it the best way possible so that you can, as Kate says in the episode, put your head on the pillow that night knowing you did your best.
They say that you should start as you mean to go and that is never more true than when starting a divorce. How you tell your spouse, will set the stage for how your divorce will unfold and in many ways, how you will continue into your BEYOND so take the time and do it right!

In this week's episode of Divorce & Beyond, Top Divorce Attorney and Host, Susan Guthrie, visits with our friend, stylist and dating expert, Alyssa Dineen, about her new book, The Art of Online Dating, and the amazing power of reinventing yourself after your divorce or at any time you want to start fresh!
As we enter a new year, a time when we often reflect on our lives and make plans to effect change, it is a wonderful time to reflect on the concept of reinvention. Although it may feel like you have lost your sense of self, this is actually a time where we can make those changes so that the person we see in the mirror actually reflects the person that we have become. My guest this week, Alyssa Dineen, is an expert on the process as she has helped so many to refine their looks as a stylist and as a dating profile expert. Alyssa recently released her first book, The Art of Online Dating, in which she shares both her journey beyond divorce as well as her insider tips so that you can reinvent yourself - from the outside in!
Listen to this episode and make the rest of your life, the BEST of your life!
