EP46: Good Divorce with Attorney Diane Mader

Divorce is painful but it doesn't have to be a disaster. Societal standards hinder us from having a good divorce. People shy away from this notion because they think it's uncommon. Having divorce doesn't mean you're happy to have it. It also doesn't mean you've failed or you did something wrong, but what does a good divorce really mean? Dianne Mader is an attorney who has practiced divorce law in Wisconsin for more than 30 years. She has also mediated divorce cases for 25 years. Through the years of working with divorce clients, she's gained deep compassion for women going through a divorce. Her commitment to making divorce a transformative experience for women led her to train as a certified life coach. Ever since then, she has used that opportunity to coach women before, during, and after their divorce.
