How do you stand up for yourself during divorce without starting a war? In this episode of The Jennifer Hargrave Show, Jennifer sits down with seasoned mediator and collaborative divorce expert Carey Silvestri to discuss how self-advocacy, empathy, and smart strategy can lead to better outcomes - for you and your family.

Carey shares wisdom from decades of experience and her training at the Harvard Negotiation Program, revealing how mediation empowers people to find their voice and craft creative, lasting agreements. Together, Jennifer and Carey unpack why rigid “punch lists” often backfire, how understanding the other party’s fears can shift everything, and why being honest about your needs is one of the bravest things you can do.

Whether you're preparing for a divorce or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing and empowered approach to resolving conflict with dignity and grace.
