Saying that divorce is difficult and stressful is an understatement. Divorce can feel like a battleground fueled by anger and fear.

Andy Heller is on the podcast to discuss his book Take the High Road: Divorce with Compassion for Yourself and Your Family. The book is an accessible guide with real-life stories, expert tips and practical, “doable” strategies that can work.

Andy Heller is a successful businessman and not a divorce professional such as a divorce attorney, mediator, therapist, co-parenting counselor, or the host of other professionals that support and service those going through divorce. Among his professional accomplishments, Andy co-authored two best selling real estate investment books in the 2000s. While the books were well received, Andy had no interest in writing another book.

That decision changed after his own divorce.

While navigating through his own divorce, Andy read countless support books to help him through the process. While helpful, Andy identified a crucial hole in the self-help space for men and women who were dealing with divorce. Andy’s book Take the High Road, Divorce with Compassion for Yourself and Your Family is his give back with a stated goal of making the divorce process easier for those who are considering, or who are on, the divorce path.

Several factors make his book truly groundbreaking. First, Andy brings a businessman’s objective perspective into his counsel. Andy interviewed attorneys, divorcees, therapists, co-parenting counselors, mediators, special masters, and others to arrive at advice and guidance from the leading industry experts. Andy presents guidance in 46 strategies, tools, and tips. When armed with the experience and counsel of these experts - the readers, former spouses, and most importantly their children, can land in a healthier place in the months and years after the conclusion of their divorces.

Nobody likes to get triggered or feel out of control or try “everything” to fix the relationship but feel like nothing changes.

On today’s podcast, I interview somatic marriage coach Becky Aste. We have a candid conversation about how “trying” to fix relationships can just create more mess. Becky explains the tools behind somatic practices that allow you to thrive in relationships, not just survive.

Becky Aste is a trauma-informed marriage coach and the host of “Your Breakthrough Blueprint,” a top 5% globally ranked podcast. She is the CEO and creator of “I Do Breakthrough,” a company dedicated to equipping highly ambitious wives to repair thriving connection in their marriage by moving trauma out of the body.

After spending a decade researching and going through every mainstream modality of healing to save her own marriage, she found herself two kids later, separated from her husband and on the verge of divorce.

At the final hour, she stumbled upon the unconventional game-changer of somatic work that took her marriage from dying to thriving in less than a year and has made it her mission to get this into the hands of every woman possible ever since.

Whether it’s betrayal, addiction, abandonment, abuse, neglect, grief or something else we’ve survived - our body keeps the score and can become an unconscious emotional block to the connection in our marriage, and Becky gets to work with you to clear those blocks OUT.

Trauma is a word we hear a lot about these days, and if there's one thing we can be guaranteed of, it's that we will all experience big and small traumas during this human life.

In this episode, I talk to trauma coach Linsday Poelman about her own journey of healing and understanding trauma. She offers practical ways to start to heal from trauma in your own life.

Having navigated her own Betrayal Trauma journey almost nine years ago, Lindsay found herself deeply entrenched in a dual journey of personal healing while supporting her husband through his recovery from non-functioning anxiety, depression, betrayal trauma, and childhood sexual abuse. This profound experience ignited a passionate pursuit of resources and tools for her own support, eventually leading her to leave behind her career in public and derivative accounting to embark on a transformative path as a life coach.

With over five years of dedicated work in trauma recovery, Lindsay has not only honed her expertise but also embraced a mission to empower others. Through her Full Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification, she equips individuals with the skills and insights to navigate the complexities of trauma with compassion and effectiveness – and integrate into a new career. Moreover, she spearheads an Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification Program for Coaches, collaboratively created with a Trauma Therapist, aiming to cultivate deep and secure healing spaces for clients grappling with trauma.

Lindsay's vision extends beyond individual empowerment; she envisions a world where trauma-informed practices are universally embraced, fostering personal healing and extending vital support to those in need. 

Currently residing on the French Riviera with her husband and three children, Lindsay finds joy in the warmth of the sun, the vast expanse of the sea, international cuisine, and spending time with people she loves. Her passion for outdoor adventures, her reverence for Mary Magdalene, and her love for travel all reflect her vibrant spirit and zest for life. Lindsay often muses that if given another life, she would relish being a tour guide, reveling in the joy of exploration alongside other people.

I just want my kids to be ok. I want to feel more in control. I want to know what the right decision is.

If you have asked yourself any of these questions, you are not alone. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs we will ever take on, if not the hardest. And when we are co-parenting, it can feel even harder with more questions, more uncertainty, more confusion.

This episode is a highlight from a conversation I had with Coach Kasia Bradford in her True You Series Event. We discuss how to move through co-parenting in a way that feels good and helps you set your kids up to thrive.

Just don’t react. Don’t let them see you sweat. Don’t get so upset.

Everyday you may get unsolicited advice about how you SHOULD or SHOULDN’T be acting. But this kind of advice is short sighted and misguided, assuming you can just NOT have emotions or reactions to difficult things.

In this episode Mikki discusses why NOT reacting is not a helpful or attainable goal. Instead, learn to use the emotions and the reactions to move yourself into a more empowered place so you can actually implement positive change.

In this episode Mikki discusses what worrying is and ways to interrupt it so that you can get some relief from the chaotic thoughts and create more mental energy on what you can do to create positive change.

We all just want our kiddos to be ok, to be happy, to grow up to have a happy life, AND it can feel like co-parenting makes it impossible to be there for our kids to make this happen.

If you find yourself stuck with how to help your kiddos, then this is a great episode for you. Today we're talking to holistic 1:1 youth empowerment coach, Kristi Simons, about some ways that you can support your kiddos and help them thrive… and the great news is that you can use this info, too!

Kristi is a wife, and a mom of two, Hendrix (3 years old) and Beatrix (1 year old). After the birth of her son in 2020, she began imperfectly creating change in her life. These changes, although for a better life, were met with many challenges along the way. Looking back it is clear that the breakdowns she faced were necessary to reveal the breakthroughs that continue to help her on her journey toward living in alignment with what her soul truly desires and to inspire others to do the same.

As a certified bilingual teacher for the last 12 years, Kristi is beginning to truly embody what she is really passionate about teaching and sharing -- healing our bodies, minds, and souls, with practices that allow us to truly come home to our most authentic selves.

About Joe

Joe has his Masters in Education from Colgate University where he played a few years of football before four knee surgeries ended that dream. He went on to be an award winning high school Social Studies teacher for 8 years and local youth coach.

Joe’s father passed from preventable health issues while Joe was in college. With that passion, Joe launched a local personal training company to help busy adults live longer and healthier lives. He’s been a leader in the area for 15 years and was named the Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Person of the Year in 2018.

He realized he was spending more time on his business than on his family and that needed re-balancing fast. Now Joe is a business consultant for companies coast to coast and he uses those lessons to guide the most important organization in his life … his family.

About Mell

Mell has a Masters in Social Work from New York University. After 5 years of counseling families in abusive situations, she gave birth to her second son and decided to dedicate herself to being a stay at home mom.

Co-Parenting isn’t easy for so many reasons. Often we are parenting with a partner who we have ended a long-term relationship with, most likely for really difficult painful reasons.

So getting stuck in the pain, the hurt, the blame and the past is not uncommon. While totally normal, this doesn’t set you up for the growth, collaboration and generous co-parenting you desire. 

In this episode, Mikki explores how to learn to cultivate the mindset of generosity in order to create more peaceful and solutions-focused co-parenting.

Navigating the teen years can feel like a daunting task. Add on co-parenting, two houses, different parenting styles, along with the normal natural push-back -- not to mention the added complexities of this new social media world … it can seem terrifying.

Take heart because in this episode, Dr. Jessica Peck, a pediatric nurse practitioner, author, speaker and mom of four is here to help.

As a pediatric nurse practitioner in primary care, over the last 20 years Dr. Jessica Peck has engaged, encouraged, equipped, and empowered families to raise holistically healthy kids. She guides parents to help navigate challenging parenting moments to escape shame and stigma with grace, hope, and courage.

A native Texan, she is a clinical professor at the Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing. An internationally awarded nursing leader, she served as president of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.

Too often we feel like the world, the other co-parent and all the people are against us. Like there is this forcefield conspiring against us.

There is a source that everything emanates from, and it is actually always conspiring FOR you.

In this episode, Mikki is exploring the concept of Karma and co-parenting. How you can use the law of Karma to become a calmer, more confident, more effective co-parent… even if the other co-parent isn’t rooting for you or supporting you.

Do you find yourself stuck trying to help your kids and feeling like the other parent makes it impossible?

Do you feel like their actions or inactions make it impossible for you and your kids to be ok?

In this episode, Mikki explores the concept of duality, where there are 2 opposing truths. This is a key to co-parenting, because to be effective you have to be able to move forward, grow and respond even when things are difficult or not how you want them to be.

You are 100% capable of changing the way you co-parent for the better -- immediately. And I know from experience that it is a tremendous benefit to have a mentor help you. I have a couple spots open for this summer for the mom who is ready to commit and make real lasting change in her co-parenting today.

If this is you and you are ready to stop waiting on your ex to change, and you want to feel deep in your bones that you are showing up, day in and day out, as the good mom -- the mom you want to be -- then sign up today for a Clarity Call so you can grab one of the open spots. By fall you will be co-parenting differently and feeling so much better… I guarantee it.

Too often we ignore the signs of stress hoping that they are temporary or will pass. But, over time, they just become the norm and we are living in a constant state of stress.

The month of April is a series of episodes talking about stress. While stress is normal and can be beneficial, unchecked or unmanaged stress quickly becomes detrimental to your physical, emotional health and the health of your relationships.

In this episode, Mikki walks you through the process she uses in her own life to set the intention for the coming year. Setting your intention isn’t like a resolution that you rely on willpower to attain. Instead, setting your intention is choosing your destination and creating a step by step process to arrive there.

Setting intentions is about opening up to what is truly aligned with what you are yearning for. It requires you to set down what you don’t want and purposefully step toward what you do want.

You will need some time alone, a journal, a comfy place to be and maybe your favorite beverage.

And if you struggle with this problem, no worries, Mikki is here to help you. Go ahead and give yourself the gift of clarity for the new year and schedule a call with her. She will walk you through this process and help you decide what is the next step for you on your journey so that you start the new year with clarity + direction.

In this episode, Mikki talks to children’s book author Jay Aedo. Jay is on a mission to rewrite some of the ancient bible stories from a conscious perspective.

Jay is an international entrepreneur, teacher of practical philosophy and children’s book author. Born and raised in southern California, he often felt the weight of the different belief systems his parents, teachers and religious leaders followed.

As a writer and community leader, he encourages his young readers to look beyond the antiquated programs of the stories that have repeated for centuries. For the first time in the history of children’s books, an author tells biblical stories from a super-conscious perspective.

We’re in a world that is going so fast. We have to actually learn and practice slowing down. First it means becoming intentional about stopping what is not helping.

Mikki talks about expectations. Every day we consciously and unconsciously set expectations for ourselves and other people. We paint a picture in our minds of what SHOULD be happening. This is all good until the other people or the circumstances of life fail to meet that picture in our mind. When that picture isn’t met in real life, we feel disappointed, resentful and that can lead to shame and anger.

Mikki walks us through the process of peeling back the layers of our expectations so that we can become aware of our unexpressed, unexamined ones and create healthy ones instead.

If you are ready to explore what expectations you might have that are holding you back … then join me for a free workshop I am hosting Monday, June 27th at 2pm Eastern.

Mikki will walk you through ways to create your own Self-Soothing and Stress Relief Tool Kit so you have it ready for those times when stress and emotions tend to run high. When we’re in the grips of emotional overload it can be difficult to remember the things that work to soothe us.

Getting proactive with ways you self-soothe ahead of time is such a powerful way to care for yourself, especially if you tend to reach for the Ben and Jerry’s or the Pinot Noir when you’re upset. Having a self-soothe tool kit ready to go can help to curb self-numbing behaviors.

In this episode Mikki is talking all about what the expectations are that we hold of being a “good mom” and how divorce inevitably changes that definition. When we become a co-parent there are identity shifts, new complexities and challenges that can challenge our ability to be that “good mom.”

Mikki will walk you through a process of uncovering your definition of mom and help you create one that supports you. If you want a positive change, it will require a useful definition of what kind of mom you want to be. And then taking aligned action toward being that person today.

If you are in the process of finding new definitions that help you create a better life then I want to invite you to a free, interactive workshop I am hosting on Re-Defining Family After Divorce, Thursday, May 19th at 1p Eastern / 10a Pacific. You will learn how to let go of the picture of what Family SHOULD look like and start defining it in a way that supports and celebrates the family you have today.

In this episode, Mikki opens up the conversation of what real self-care is, what it looks like and what it can accomplish. Self-care isn’t a luxury. Self-care is not selfish. Self-care is a necessity to be the woman, mom and human you want to be.

It seems counterintuitive to focus on yourself to be better for others, but it is true. When we are taking care of our mind, body and spirit every day, we gain the trust and confidence in our own capacity to show up for those we love, when things are hard, when our strength is needed most.

In this episode, I share a little bit from my April Workshop "Co-Parenting Confidently Through the Chaos."

So many women, moms and clients I talk to are frustrated - feeling like they are trying to change but nothing really changes.

It’s two steps forward and one step back.

They feel like they made this huge change in their lives, got divorced, moved, changed everything - but they feel stuck in the same patterns, same feelings over and over.

If you want to attend one of my future workshops or hear about how to work with me in other ways, please go to my website and click on the "3 Myths of Co-Parenting" so that you will be in the know. https://mikkigardner.com/

In today’s episode, Mikki will walk you through the process of rewriting your story. Releasing the old story that isn’t serving you and choosing intentionally a new version of you and stepping into her today. To begin to rewrite our story we must start by aligning our thoughts, feelings and actions toward what we desire by BEING that today.

This means we must stop reliving the past, using the limiting beliefs to cloud our vision the cloud the lens from which we are viewing our life.

We will look at different tools to help you rewrite your story from meditation, visualization and managing your energy.

Ever had that day when you just can’t get out of bed and face the day? You’re not alone. In this episode, I will walk you through some tools and proven strategies I use with my clients and in my own life to help make it through those days when you feel like you just can’t.

In my coaching practice, I help clients build their emotional toolbox filled with skills and tools so they have them ready at their disposal to navigate any experience life throws at them. When we have this ability, we are simply more confident versions of ourselves. Why? Because we have the trust to show up, have our own back and solve our own problems.

Feeling good is your birthright - it’s not something reserved for the select few. Feeling good is a conscious decision each day to do the things to support yourself, to take the aligned action to create a life you want and to decide to feel better today.

There are some really exciting free workshops I have coming up and new opportunities to work with me so if you want to be kept in the know just go to www.mikkigardner.com and sign up for the 3 Myths of Co-Parenting and get on the newsletter today.

In this episode, Mikki is diving into the common patterns moms experience that may also be keeping you unhappy, stuck and not showing up as the mom you truly want to be. When we are able to realize the patterns we are stuck in, we have the opportunity for change. This is crucial to creating a life we love because we cannot expect our world to somehow miraculously change when we show up the same way. We have to show up differently first and, when we do, we are able to shift into alignment with the mom and woman we truly want to be.

We will walk through the 5 steps to releasing yourself from a pattern you are stuck in and moving beyond it for good.

If you need help implementing this work into your own life, I invite you to schedule a Clarity Call with me. This is a free, no strings attached call where I will help you identify a pattern in your life that you are ready to release, and we will give you clarity on HOW to do that in your life today. Feeling good is your birthright, so let’s get you feeling better. Schedule your Clarity Call today.

On today’s episode, Mikki explores that to create happy kids we have to teach, encourage, and model how to feel ALL of our feelings, not just the happy.

She looks at how we can learn to look behind any behavior or negative moment to what is needed. Why? So that we can help our children and ourselves navigate the tough times.

What if our jobs as moms is just to be clear and present to where our kids are at any moment? To be able to guide them through it without resisting, running and hiding?

When we learn to regulate ourselves then we are able to show up as the moms we want to be. Not driven by guilt or a need to “fix” everyone so we can feel better. We can let our kids be unhappy without making it mean we are a bad mom.

On today’s episode, Mikki talks with Sports & Performance Psychology Coach Dr. Jason Novetsky.

So many of our kids love to participate in sports. Jason talks about how sports can be a great outlet for our kids, and a source of stability and community. It can also become another place where they feel they HAVE to preform for their parents.

Dr. J and Mikki talk about how to help our kids navigate pressure, create and set goals and, most importantly, how we can support our kids in a healthy way.

DR. NOVETSKY'S BIO

As a Sport & Performance Psychology Coach, Dr. Jason Novetsky subscribes to the notion that talent is over-emphasized and mental toughness is the competitive advantage that creates champions.

In the last couple of episodes, we have talked a lot about Love, Trust, Boundaries and now we are going to the other side of this conversation… the plague that afflicts many of us…. people pleasing.

Why?

Because for so many of us this disease to please is what stands between us and the love, the relationships and life we desire.

When we are stuck in people pleasing, we are robbing ourselves of time, energy, money and integrity. We are buying into a gigantic lie that we are not enough, not worthy and not loved as we are and that we need to please others to earn love.

Not only is it a lie, it simply doesn’t work.

In this episode we are going to look at why we people please and how we can stop. How we can liberate ourselves from the prison and create more love, trust and goodness in our relationships.

In this episode, I am exploring self-trust.

Why?

Because when we don’t trust ourselves, we don’t live the life we want. We don’t show up the way we intend. We do things we regret. We look to everyone else to tell us what to do and become a rudder-less boat on the sea of life.

So we are going to look at how we can build more self-trust, learn to listen to our own internal guidance system so that we have an anchor to find safety in the chaos of life’s storms.

We are exploring how to access and listen to our own intuition so that we can maintain alignment by turning inward, knowing and trusting ourselves. When you trust yourself to show up ALL of the time, you create more love, beauty and abundance in your life. And isn’t that what we truly want out of this one precious life?

Then let’s dive in…

So often, we hear about New Year’s resolutions, the whole "new year new you", and all the newness. But if you’re anything like me, resolutions never work, and they always leave me feeling worse than I did at the start of the year. So, we’re rejecting the idea of a new year and a new you, and instead of becoming a new person, we’re unbecoming everything that’s holding us back.
