It Isn't Better. It's Just Different

from Getting Divorced Without Losing Your Mind · host Corey Shapiro

It is a few months after the divorce, the apartment is smaller and quieter than you pictured, and the life that was supposed to show up hasn't. Corey tells the story of the move he made in eighth grade chasing a better life, what he couldn't see from Florida, and why the answer to "better when" is to stop waiting on it and start the work now. You keep being reasonable, and it keeps being used against you. Every fair offer becomes the floor for a bigger demand. Every concession buys you nothing. That is a one-sided divorce, and it plays by different rules than the mutual divorce your friends went through. Getting Divorced Without Losing Your Mind is for people living that divorce. Corey Shapiro has spent more than 25 years as a matrimonial attorney in high-conflict cases, and this show is where he explains the game: why staying calm is a weapon and not a weakness, what your spouse's attorney is actually doing, and how to stop reacting and start deciding. Based on the book Getting Divorced Without Losing Your Mind. For when being reasonable stops working.
