The wedding vows say "'til death do us part" but divorce changes everything and that means everything has to change - including your estate planning! In this week's episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Attorney Rebecca Wallenfelsz, leading Trusts & Estates Attorney, about all of the issues and factors that are affected when the marital relationship ends.
Estate planning includes your Last Will & Testament and those decisions about who gets all your stuff after you die, but there is so much more involved in pulling together a proper plan and not all of it is just about what happens when you die. Attorney Rebecca Wallenfelsz has been helping individuals and families to structure their estate planning for almost 25 years and she shares all of the many factors that go into an all-inclusive plan, including disability, guardianship, healthcare matters and yes, who will get your estate when you pass away.

This is a must listen episode for everyone who is contemplating divorce, is going through divorce or who has recently finalized their divorce. LISTEN TODAY!
Highlights from this Episode:
- What are the things to think about in Estate Planning when you are starting a divorce?
- What happens to your prior estate planning documents when your divorce is finalized?
- Why is executing a new Power of Attorney so important even before the divorce is done?
- What is your legal status once the divorce is filed? Are you still married?

We often look for peace and happiness from external sources but that path leads to disappointment. In fact, that is often a path to further hurt and trauma. On this episode of The Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie speaks with Kundalini Yoga Expert, Dya Kaur about the inward path to healing and your new future through yoga, meditation and yes, even a little bit of sex.
Trauma informs our lives in so many ways and can stay in our soul for years after the incident or experience that hurt us. Divorce is often one of the most traumatic experiences that we can undergo and so many individuals have enormous difficulty in moving past that hurt. Leading Kundalini Yoga expert, Dya Kaur of Wanderlust Yoga in Los Angeles, joins Susan on this episode, which was taped in person in California, to share her wisdom and insights from years of teaching the technology of kundalini yoga, meditation, and spiritual life coaching to help people to move past their trauma to heal, live fully and embrace a new future.
Some Highlights from this Episode:
- Learn how the technology of kundalini yoga and meditation give us access to our true nature.
What is kundalini yoga? How is it different from other yoga forms? - How does being more neutral empower us in a painful situation?
- How does elevating our own consciousness help elevate our circumstances?
- Why is the experience of a kundalini class more impactful than a more intellectual self help approach?
- Why is giving yourself authority so important to self transformation?
Living life dragged down by the emotional storms of your past will only rob you of your future. It's time to deal with, and heal from, that old trauma and move forward into your healthy, happy and beautiful new life. Listen to this episode now!
Note: This show was taped at the beginning of the year. The advent of COVID delayed it's release so I am excited to announce that Dya's podcast, Sexual Alchemy with Dya Kaur, is now available! We apologize that the dates referenced in the episode have now passed.
Libby ( Dya Kaur) Hudson Lydecker was given her spiritual name by the master of kundalini yoga, Yogi Bhajan in 1998 meaning “Princess of wisdom, compassion and strength.” Dya Kaur has been teaching kundalini yoga to adults and children for over 13 years. Her passion is empowering people to live their happiest and most enlightened lives through the technology of kundalini yoga and meditation. She is a Spiritual Life coach and runs transformational yoga retreats in inspiring locations. She is honored to be one of the leaders of Guru Singh’s Teacher Training which is the largest kundalini teacher training in the world. She teaches group classes at Yoga West in LOS ANGELES and Wanderlust in Hollywood and is available for private kundalini or coaching sessions in person or remotely by appointment. “I don’t believe in miracles, I rely on them.“ Yogi Bhajan.

The movie "Marriage Story" garnered a great deal buzz and won a number of awards but is it accurate? Is that what divorce really looks like? On this episode Susan Guthrie speaks with Law Professor, Carolyn Kaas, to reveal not only what the movie got right, but more importantly, what it got OH SO WRONG! If you are worried this is your future, be sure to listen today!
The award winning movie, "Marriage Story" created quite a stir in the world of divorce and captured multiple award nominations for not only the film, but also the actors. In fact, Laura Dern won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for her portrayal of a divorce attorney reportedly patterned on celebrity divorce attorney, Laura Wasser. But just how accurate is the depiction of divorce in the movie? On this week's episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Professor Carolyn Kaas, who will be incorporating the movie into her curriculum for the future lawyers of America as a teaching tool of what to do, and more importantly, of WHAT NOT TO DO. Susan and Professor Kaas bring you the insider view of where the movie hits the nail on the head, and where it veers far off the factual path. If you are facing divorce and are worried that the movie is a crystal ball of your future, find out what you can do to be sure that your divorce unfolds differently and learn from the teachable moments that Professor Kaas will be using to help launch the future of the legal profession!
Highlights from the Episode:
- What about this movie does Professor Kaas feel makes it the "perfect teaching tool?"
- How does putting on the "glasses of trial prep" right from the beginning hijack your divorce process?
- How does their approach to the process change as many divorce attorneys practice longer and longer in the field?
- Is the "2nd Happy Halloween" ending of the movie a realistic portrayal?
- Is there a different function for a lawyer than to be a "weapon or a shield?"
- What is the worst part about the mediation "fail" in the movie?
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE! Be sure to listen - you'll want to watch the movie again with new eyes once you have listened to this episode!
Learn More About Professor Kaas and Quinnipiac University School of Law: Carolyn "Carrie" Kaas is an Associate Professor of Law at Quinnipiac University School of Law. She currently serves as Associate Dean of Experiential Education and Co-director of the Center on Dispute Resolution, and also directs two of the law school's eight academic concentrations: Family Law and Civil Advocacy & Dispute Resolution. Kaas’s primary clinical teaching is the externship courses, and her doctrinal teaching is in the areas of family law and in dispute resolution, including mediation and interviewing and counseling.
Kaas has long been active in the national clinical legal education community.

On this week's episode, which is Part Two of a Special Two-Part Episode, Susan Guthrie, nationally recognized family law attorney and mediator, continues her conversation with Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond, the authors of "Our Happy Divorce: How Ending Our Marriage Brought Us Together" which shares their journey through marriage, divorce and finding a different kind of love.
"Our Happy Divorce" - Now that you have listened to Part One of this interview (If you haven't heard it yet, click here) , I know that you too must be a huge fan of Nikki and Ben's story and there is so much more to hear! In Part One, we heard their unusual path to create their own definition of divorce and how they measured every decision that they made by the phrase "What's best for Asher?" Now, in Part Two, Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond share the details of their journey after the divorce was final and they both moved into new relationships and a new relationship with each other. As Ben says in the episode, "if Nikki and I can do it, then anyone can do it!" Find out how they made it all work and hear how things are now, 13 years down the road. You will be inspired - Listen now!
Highlights from this episode:
Nikki and Ben hit a major roadblock soon after the divorce was final - find out what that was and how they handled it.
How have Ben and Nikki continued to measure everything by "What's best for Asher as they moved into their new lives?"
How did Nikki and Nadia meet for the first time, and what role did Asher play in the introduction?
What did Chad do that won Ben over?
Why is the last chapter of the book so significant?
Ben and Nikki forged their own path through divorce and created a new and lasting love, relationship and family. Listen to this episode to find out how you can do the same!
More about Nikki and Ben: From weeknight dinners and homework sessions with their son to Christmas card photos and vacations, Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond have created a tight-knit, enviable family. They work and play well together, from the smallest daily tasks to the biggest life events—and it only took a divorce to get them there. Though their marriage has been over for nearly a decade, they still share a happy life with each other and their son Asher, along with their new amazing spouses and children.
Nikki knows how being supported by a strong, loving family can influence the way a person navigates life, love, marriage, and motherhood. Having grown up as a member of the iconic San Francisco 49ers football family, she was thrown into the limelight at a young age. The values her family instilled in her have helped shape who she is today, and she continues to live by them.
Ben intimately understands the detriment divorce can cause in the lives of children. The example of his parents’ divorce instilled in him a deep commitment to do better by his own kids. Ben is an investor, board member, philanthropist, golfer, and sports enthusiast. But above all, he is a dedicated father and family man who understands the importance of putting his ego aside and his children first.

On this week's episode, which is Part One of a Special Two-Part Episode, Susan Guthrie, nationally recognized family law attorney and mediator, speaks with Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond, the authors of "Our Happy Divorce: How Ending Our Marriage Brought Us Together" which shares their journey through marriage, divorce and finding a different kind of love.
"Our Happy Divorce", I love this book, I truly do, and not just because it has a happy ending. I love it because it tells a truthful tale of one couples' journey through the pain of divorce, which started out as many do, with anger, hurt and a "shark attorney", but but then reveals how they pulled back and found a different path that allowed for forgiveness, hope and a new kind of love. Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond share the details of how they created a new life, a new definition of family and came to love each other again, just in a different way. Make no mistake, this was not an easy path, but they share the actual steps that helped them to get there. This is so important, that it just had to be a special two-part episode so that we could cover it all. Find out why I say that this book should be required reading for all couples contemplating divorce and LISTEN TODAY!
Highlights from this episode:
Find out what role the "shark attorney" played in the Happy Divorce.
How did Ben and Nikki clean up their side of the street so that they could move forward?
What impact did Ben and Nikki's very different childhoods have on their Happy Divorce?
Why does Ben say that "nothing good comes from living in the past?
What was the one overriding principal that Nikki and Ben measured every decision by and still do?
Ben and Nikki found a way to avoid the worst of divorce and successfully restructure their family. Listen to this episode to find out how you can do the same!
More about Nikki and Ben: From weeknight dinners and homework sessions with their son to Christmas card photos and vacations, Nikki DeBartolo and Benjamin Heldfond have created a tight-knit, enviable family. They work and play well together, from the smallest daily tasks to the biggest life events—and it only took a divorce to get them there. Though their marriage has been over for nearly a decade, they still share a happy life with each other and their son Asher, along with their new amazing spouses and children.
Nikki knows how being supported by a strong, loving family can influence the way a person navigates life, love, marriage, and motherhood. Having grown up as a member of the iconic San Francisco 49ers football family, she was thrown into the limelight at a young age. The values her family instilled in her have helped shape who she is today, and she continues to live by them.
Ben intimately understands the detriment divorce can cause in the lives of children. The example of his parents’ divorce instilled in him a deep commitment to do better by his own kids. Ben is an investor, board member, philanthropist, golfer, and sports enthusiast. But above all, he is a dedicated father and family man who understands the importance of putting his ego aside and his children first.
