S5 E23: 30 Years in Divorce Court Taught Her to Play the Long Game

Heidi Harris, Partner at Mosberg Sharma Stambleck Gross LLP, has spent more than 30 years as a divorce attorney in New York City. Then she went through her own, after 25 years of marriage. What happened next is the part most people don't expect: the anger eventually subsided, and today she and her ex-husband are genuinely friends who travel together as a family for their kids.Heidi opens up about the daughter of a Polish immigrant builder who became a lawyer to honor her father, why she refused to litigate her own divorce, and the "long game" philosophy she brings to every client: think about the life you want after this is over, not the motion you can win today. She's honest about therapy, co-parenting without dragging kids into the middle, learning to enjoy her own company, and why "fair" is a concept she never promises anyone.A warm, refreshingly direct conversation about resilience, reinvention, and starting the next chapter as unscathed as possible.Follow Beyond Your Bar Podcast for new episodes featuring voices across law, entertainment, and beyond.Learn more about Heidi: www.mssglaw.com/bio/heidi-harrisWatch more episodes and connect with Denisa here: beyondyourbarpodcast.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/denisatovaFacebook: www.facebook.com/denisatovaInstagram: www.instagram.com/denisatovaPodcast Production by HypeCats.com, webinars, and podcasts: hypecats.com.
