Divorce Without Destruction: Finding Clarity, Compassion & Cooperation
Description
Divorce doesn’t have to be a war.
In this episode of The Personal Side of Business, I sit down with Barney Connaughton — founder of A Healthy Divorce, experienced mediator, and author of Untangling Together: A Healthy Divorce Guide and Workbook.

Common communication breakdowns and how to repair them
Why taking a holistic approach — blending education, emotional awareness, and financial planning — leads to healthier outcomes
Real-life stories where mediation changed everything — and even saved marriages
Whether you're navigating a divorce, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about healthier ways to handle life’s hardest transitions, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and empowered.
