THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: 

SOBERLINK



As a family law attorney, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate co-parenting when alcohol is involved, especially around the holidays.

Soberlink is a breathalyzer that ensures your co-parent is staying sober while they have the kids, which is especially important during this time of year, when alcohol can be present at so many gatherings.

Soberlink is trusted by family law professionals for a reason. It’s the top alcohol monitoring system, and its court-admissible data can make all the difference in custody situations.

If you’re looking for more certainty and safety this holiday season, visit www.soberlink.com/susan to learn more and get $50 off your device.

PARACHUTE HOME

Going through a divorce is tough, and self-care can easily get overlooked. Something that helped me was creating a cozy space to relax.

I found Parachute Home—bedding and home goods that bring real comfort. Imagine ending your day wrapped in the softest sheets or a warm blanket.

If you're looking to add a bit of peace to your home, visit divorcebeyond.com/parachute. When you shop through my link, it supports the podcast, and I appreciate it.
