S1:E2 – JIMBO MARSHALL "Hiring the Wrong Attorney Cost Me”

Divorce can feel like survival mode—especially when you’re raising teenagers who feel everything happening at home. In Episode 2 of Divorcing Strong, Becky Sampson sits down with Jimbo Marshall (video marketing expert and performer) for a real conversation about what worked, what didn’t, and how to stay calm while navigating the divorce process. Jimbo shares how avoidance and weak communication patterns [KW: conflict avoidance] stretched a struggling marriage into 17 years—and how family health crises and financial stress compounded everything. He also talks candidly about the moment he realized he was giving his daughter relationship advice he wasn’t living… and why he chose to take action. If you’re in the middle of it, this episode helps you slow down and make choices that protect your future—especially when you’re tempted to agree to anything just to stop the pain. Jimbo explains what he wishes he knew about hiring an attorney (hint: specialization matters) [KW: family law attorney] and why patience and consistency with kids can matter more than “winning” the moment [KW: divorce with teenagers]. Key takeaways: Don’t make short-term pain-relief decisions that turn into long-term regrets [KW: divorce decision-making]. Keep showing up for your kids—patient, consistent, honest—even when they pull away [KW: parenting through divorce].
