In this episode of the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie, nationally recognized as one of the top family law attorneys and mediators in the country, speaks with Kate Anthony of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast and Creator of the Should I Stay or Should I Go Program on just how you know if your relationship has run it's course or if if can be fixed.
Truly one of the most difficult questions that we might have to answer in our lives is should we stay in our marriage that doesn't seem to be working, or should we go and find happiness elsewhere? In fact, many people will linger in the limbo of this unanswered question for months and even years, without being able to move forward to either repair the relationship or find the strength to end it. Kate Anthony is the leading expert on helping you to answer the question of whether to stay or go and she helps people all over the world with her innovative online program and her one-on-one coaching. In this special episode, taped in person in California, Kate shares:
- What you need to consider if your relationship is in limbo and you are living "like roommates."
- What the most common weak spots are in a marriage and what you can do to fix them (hint: communication is key!)
- How failing to address the issues that lie between you and your spouse can lead to the worst divorce possible.
- What to do if your spouse is asking you to go to therapy and what to do if you are asking but they won't go!
- Why trying everything you can to work on the relationship is so important even if those efforts fail. (Kate says that all the work she and her husband did to try and fix their marriage didn't work but did lead to them having a great divorce!)
- How to have the conversation with your spouse if you do decide "it's time to go."
- AND MORE!
MORE ABOUT TODAY'S GUEST: Kate Anthony is the host of the critically acclaimed podcast The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast and the creator of the groundbreaking online coaching program, Should I Stay or Should I Go? which helps women make the most difficult decision of their lives using coaching tools, relationship education, geeky neuroscience, community support, and deep self-work.
Kate empowers women to find their strength, passion, and confidence even in the most disempowering of circumstances and helps them move forward with concrete plans set on a solid foundation, putting their children at the center (not in the middle) of all their decisions.
In addition to her online programs, Kate works privately with clients all over the world.
Kate lives in Los Angeles with her teenage son (whom she lovingly co-parents with her ex-husband), their two dogs, and a handful of fish.
You can find out more about Kate and her services and programs at www.kateanthony.com where you can also access her FREE "Should You Stay or Should You Go Quiz" for immediate results in your inbox! It's the perfect complement to the information in the episode!

In this episode, Susan Guthrie, top family law attorney and mediator, and the former host of Breaking Free: A Modern Divorce Podcast chats with Jan Yuhas and Jillian Yuhas, the dynamic duo known as "the Love Twins" and creators of the Entwined Lifestyle brand about the need for firm and clear boundaries when divorcing.
When people are facing divorce the first things they think about are dividing their money and assets as well as defining their time with their kids but there is much, much more to the equation when you are facing disentangling from each other's lives. To do so successfully, it is very important that the couple clearly communicate and that they agree to and follow certain firm boundaries between their new, SEPARATE LIVES! Jan and Jillian Yuhas, the founders of the lifestyle coaching team at Entwined Lifestyle, join Susan Guthrie today to discuss some of the many collateral issues that need to be discussed and hopefully given some boundaries so that life doesn't get messy as you try to move forward. This can be especially complicated when you have kids together and have to co-parent after the divorce is final. Jillian and Jan, both with the Masters degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy, specialize in helping people to identify those issues, have those hard conversations and set those necessary boundaries (no surprise that Jan and Jillian are divorce mediators too!) Who gets to keep the friends, the family members, the nanny and the gym? Good questions and ones that needs to be answered for healthy boundaries!
Here are some highlights from the episode:
4:30 Can you still have the same friends and what if the friends choose your ex?
9:00 The impact of divorce on family relationships - is blood really thicker than water?
12:30 How do you handle grandparents and visitation?
17:15 What about all the places where your kids hang out - can you share them?
22:00 Why boundaries are so key to a successful separation.
23:15 Oh no, not the nanny/au pair/babysitter!
31:45 What are Jan and Jillian's "3 Cs" and how do they help you set necessary boundaries?
Jan and Jillian's Special Offers:
For 20% off the cost of the Boundary Badass Program or 20% off the 1st month of 1:1 Coaching, use the code "LIFESTYLE20". This offer will be valid for 30 days from the date this episode first airs (February 3, 2020).
Jan Yuhas and Jillian Yuhas, MA, MFT, CPC, are International Relationship & Lifestyle Coaches, founders of Entwined Lifestyle, and Creators of the Powerless to Boundary Badass program. Their ability to overcome their own relationship struggles in the past inspired them to coach others to relationship success. Known as The Love Twins, they have made it their mission to guide men & women in finding their inner voice, owning their worth, setting healthy boundaries to feel invincible in their relationships, personally and professionally. Their writings have been featured on websites including Thrive Global, Take The Lead, Yahoo Lifestyle, Bustle, The Dating Truth, YourTango, Everyday Power, Thought Catalog, Go Dates, Medium and The Minds Journal.
