Episode #72
Get a Grip. Literally. Your Divorce Depends On It.
You came into this divorce ready to fight, win, and make sure he didn't walk away with anything he didn't deserve. But somewhere between the attorneys, arguments, and back-and-forth, the fighting stopped being a strategy and became the whole divorce. In this episode of Uncoupled and Unfiltered, I sit down with Cherie Morris — attorney turned divorce coach and founder of Dear Divorce Coach — to unpack how smart women can become their own worst enemy in divorce. We talk about money, high-conflict splits, co-parenting, what judges actually see, and whether two people who went to war can ever truly be friends on the other side. Raw, real, and zero fluff. Key Topics Covered: How people in divorce get in their own way — and why the most self-destructive moves feel completely justified in the moment What actually makes a divorce turn ugly, and how to recognize when you're the one feeding the fire Nesting — what it is, why some couples try it, and the real emotional and logistical cost of staying under the same roof while your marriage ends Co-parenting in high-conflict situations — when collaboration isn't realistic and what "trump power" actually looks like and when to use it What judges really see when a high-conflict case walks into their courtroom — and how that perception can work for or against you Whether high-conflict couples can actually be friends after divorce — and what that question is really asking The single most important skill anyone going through a high-conflict divorce needs to develop The difference between a therapist and a divorce coach — and why getting that wrong can cost you more than money “This comes down to the boundaries that we set, and we get to set the boundaries. It's all about what we allow, not what someone else does.” - Cherie Morris Professionals Peer Group: https://betweensessions.circle.so/about-between-sessions Connect with Cherie Morris: Website: www.DearDivorceCoach.com TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deardivorcecoach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deardivorcecoach/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/DearDivorceCoach/?_rdc=1&_rdr# About Our Guest: Cherie Morris Cherie Morris is an attorney turned divorce coach and the founder of Dear Divorce Coach.
