Host Susan Guthrie welcomes back Tracy Malone to discuss some of the mistakes people make when divorcing a narcissist!
Returning guest Tracy Malone is the author of Divorcing Your Narcissist: You Can't Make This Shit Up! Divorcing a narcissist is a hot topic these days, and Tracy’s book is the most comprehensive compilation of tips, insights, case studies, and personal experiences about what it is like to divorce a narcissist.
In this episode, Tracy and Susan explore some of the most common and biggest mistakes made when divorcing a narcissist and share practical advice for avoiding them.
Conversation Golden Nuggets:
- The adversarial mindset, “How to BEAT a narcissist” is so harmful. Tracy shares her thoughts on the topic. Instead of “how to fight,” think “how to cope or prepare.”
- “Don’t call them a narcissist! It’s going to poke the bear, enrage them more, and set the whole divorce on a different trajectory.”
- Check your expectations when it comes to justice in family court and pick your battles!
- Make the parenting plan as inclusive as possible and consider the growth of your children.
- If you are aware, you can prepare. Plus, why it is important to have a team or support system during your divorce.
Listen to this episode to learn as much as you can about divorcing a narcissist and then move forward with awareness!

Susan Guthrie welcomes leading matrimonial attorney Susan Myres to the show, where she shares the potential pitfalls and legal issues you may face when cohabiting before or instead of getting married.
Together they explore the legal challenges couples face when living together, including property rights, financial agreements, and child custody issues. You’ll hear why education, planning, and potential cohabitation agreements are important and can mitigate the 'perils of playing house.'
Featured topics and Golden Nuggets:
- The legal implications of “playing house”
- Financial and property considerations: “When romance is involved, we forget to take care of business.”
- Without divorce proceedings, you don’t have immediate rights to child support (you will have to go to court) and if you are a father, you may have a harder time fighting for parental access rights
- “You can fix most of these perils if you plan ahead.”

Diving back into the archive for a replay of Part Two of our special two-part episode with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a leading expert in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that delves into some of the most insidious forms of abuse: coercive control and post-separation abuse.
In part two of this special two-part episode on Domestic Abuse, we delve deeper into a form of intimate partner violence (IPV) that's gaining attention in the media through high-profile cases like those of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: Post-Separation Abuse. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor and advocate, returns to further our understanding of this often covert and insidious form of abuse. While physical abuse is more overt and recognizable, Post-Separation Abuse encompasses tactics of coercive control and emotional manipulation that can continue to affect victims long after a relationship has ended. In part one, Dr. Cocchiola explored coercive control extensively. Now, she educates us on the varied manifestations of Post-Separation Abuse and highlights its dangers, emphasizing the need for awareness and support for those trapped in this destructive cycle.

Diving back into the archive for a replay of our special two-part episode with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a leading expert in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that delves into some of the most insidious forms of abuse: coercive control and post-separation abuse.
Abuse between intimate partners comes in many forms. All are destructive, but some are so insidious and pervasive that they are incredibly common, yet vastly unknown by the public and often, in fact, by the victims themselves. With physical violence and abuse, it is very easy to identify that behavior is abusive, but when it comes to coercive control and emotional abuse, it is much harder to identify. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor herself, is dedicated to educating, supporting and advocating for others suffering in this horrible cycle of abuse. In this episode, you will learn the signs to look for when coercive control is an issue, strategies to extricate yourself and what we as a society need to do to protect victims and stop abusers.
Return on Thursday for Part Two where Dr. Cocchiola discusses the increasing awareness of another form of IPV, Post-Separation Abuse, which is increasingly in the headlines with the ongoing high profile cases of Kim Kardashion and Kanye West and the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.

In this special replay episode from the Divorce & Beyond Archives, Susan visits with the CEO of the High Conflict Institute, Megan Hunter, to hear her top tips and insights on co-parenting with a Narcissist or other High Conflict Personality! This is the #3 most listened to episode of all time - for a reason!
Divorce is hard under the best of circumstances, but for most people, it will come to an end and their lives will smooth out and they will go forward with their lives and even co-parent peacefully for the most part, but then there are the high conflict cases. The ones where your ex tries to turn the kids against you, drags you back to court every other week and continues to cause chaos and havoc in your life no matter how long ago the divorce was finalized. How do you survive that High-Conflict Co-Parenting paradigm and more importantly, how do you help your kids through it all?
Megan Hunter, the CEO of The High Conflict Institute with Co-Founder, Bill Eddy, is here to help with her book: The High-Conflict Co-Parenting Survival Guide! Megan shares invaluable advice and practical strategies on ways to manage your anger, stress, fear and worry as you continue to have to maintain a co-parenting relationship with a narcissist or other high conflict person. Listen to this episode and you WILL have HOPE and a game-plan for the future!
