Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Anna Graham, and today we’re diving into a conversation that many people face during and after divorce—who you are when the titles fall away.

But when life shifts—especially through divorce—it often forces us to ask a deeper question: Who am I beyond those titles? I’m joined by Cristin Terri, who brings incredible insight as a ...

Boundaries become essential. And sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the legal process—it’s learning how to move forward in a completely different ...
Welcome back to The Divorce Allies Podcast.. I’m Anna Graham, and today we’re diving into something that can quietly derail even the most well-intentioned divorce process—attachment to the outcome. In mediation, we often walk in believing we know exactly what we want, what’s fair, and how things should unfold. But when we become rigidly attached to a specific result, it can block resolution, increase conflict, and ultimately cost us more emotionally and financially. I’m joined by the incredib...
