Divorce Coaches Academy? (DCA?)

Adjusting to new holiday schedules can be tough for divorced or separated families. If this will be your first Thanksgiving without your kids, plan ahead for success. 1. Confirm plans with your co-parent to eliminate any last minutes surprises. Refer to your parenting plan if needed to check details. 2. This year may look very different so adjust your expectations. Give yourself and your kids some extra grace as you transition from what was to what will be. 3. Schedule activities that bring you joy to avoid feelings of loneliness. Plan self-care, volunteer at a local food bank or retirement center, or get together with friends. 4. It's time to start new traditions. Brainstorm with your kids and get creative about what would make the holiday memorable for them. #divorce #coparenting #divorcedholiday #newtraditions #divorcecoaching #sharedparenting #holidaycoparenting #divorcecoachtraining #certifieddivorcecoach

ICYMI - yesterday on the podcast we talked through the concept of a restorative divorce process. We asked the question "What if divorce could be approached with intention, healing, and collaboration, with the goal of not just separating, but rebuilding lives in a healthy, sustainable way?" Listen in wherever you get your podcasts or at divorcecoachesacademy.com. And we'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea rather than creating a broken home, divorce is actually an opportunity to fix what's been broken for a long time. #divorcepodcast #restorative #divorce #divorcehealing #divorcecoaching #divorcecoachtraining #alternativedisputeresolution #notabrokenfamily #positivedivorce

In today’s episode, we explore the idea of restorative divorce—an approach that focuses on healing, mutual respect, and long-term well-being for both partners. We’ll dive into how this process works, how it differs from adversarial divorce, and why we believe it’s a better way forward. At DCA, we share a vision that couples would have the ability to rearrange and restructure their relationships and their families in a way that leads to wholeness and happiness. Divorce is often seen as an end—an ending to a marriage, an ending to a chapter of life. But what if it didn’t have to be a painful, adversarial process? What if divorce could be approached with intention, healing, and collaboration, with the goal of not just separating, but rebuilding lives in a healthy, sustainable way? We wrestle with the concept that divorce creates a broken home, discuss the recent addition of CAPRD (Child Affected by Parental Relationship Disorder) to the DSM IV, and outline the six elements of a restorative divorce process. As opposed to traditional divorce that focuses on winning, a restorative divorce process is an alternative that can reduce harm, encourage positive outcomes, and support healthier post-divorce relationships for everyone involved. #divorce #coparenting #divorcepodcast #amicabledivorce #restorativedivorce #brokenfamily #divorcemyths #divorcecoaching

Because sometimes once isn't enough. There's so much more to dig into and discuss about William Ury's new book "Possible". Let's discover how we can use these revolutionary concepts to help clients approach divorce and co-parenting negotiations in a more effective and productive way. Negotiation isn't about being a bully - it's about being a strategist. RSVP and get the Zoom link in your DCA Student or Alumni community. #negotiation #divorcesettlement #williamury #bookclub #divorcecoachcommunity #divorcecoachtraining #freeevent #negotiationtools #mediation

Learning and doing are not the same thing. Our students get the support of an experienced, professional mentor for 9 weeks after they complete the curriculum. Why? Because we've been around a while and understand that confidence, competence, and financial success go hand in hand. If you're not 100% confident in your divorce coaching skills, you won't deliver value, speak with authority, or close as many consult calls - period. While most students, like Leisel, are nervous about the process of mentor coaching, they consistently say that it is the MOST valuable part of the program. Other programs either have no mentorship program or use inexperienced recent grads - neither of these provide the support new divorce coaches need to turn their learning into applicable skills. New sessions beginning in January and February so schedule a 1-1 call today and learn about the DCA difference. #divorcecoachtraining #becomeadivorcecoach #divorce #divorcecoaching #divorcepodcast #mentorsmatter #certifieddivorcecoach #newcareer #familylaw #mediation

We’re took a detour from our planned topic this week because we think it's time critical to talk about the implications of eliminating no-fault divorce. Based on the election results, as divorce professionals we need to be thinking about, discussing, and preparing for another potential shift in the landscape of divorce. No-fault divorce has been around for decades, but there's been a growing push in some places to repeal it. But what would happen if we eliminated no-fault divorce? How would it change the dynamics of marriages, families, and even the legal system? Well, that's what we're exploring today. Tracy and Debra talk through the potential implications of reinstating fault divorce including the impact on conflict, cost, our court systems and children. The debate is complex, and there are no easy answers. But it’s important to keep discussing it and to think critically about the consequences—for the individuals and families involved, for you as a divorce professional, and for society as a whole. #divorcepodcast #nofaultdivorce #thedivorceblamegame #highconflictdivorce #custodybattle #familylaw #changesindivorce #beprepared #divorcetopics
