This week I’m
thrilled to introduce you to Tracey Coates. Tracey has been
practicing family law for over 15 years. She is also the host of
the podcast, The Divorce Chronicles, a practical resource for those
thinking about or in the midst of a divorce. That last part,
it sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Yes, Tracey and I have a lot of
similar ideas about the divorce process, which is just one of the
many reasons I wanted to have her on the show.
In this episode you’ll hear
us cover a wide range of topics including the emotional, financial,
and legal aspects of divorce. We also talk about the
importance of setting the tone for divorce proceedings and keeping
your children’s wellbeing in check, always. We also drop a few reality checks, like how
divorce is never a cookie cutter process. Finally, we wrap things
up by talking about how to start a discussion with your spouse
about wanting a divorce. All of that and more, in this week’s
episode.
