| 6/25/26 |  S4 E37: Stay or Go? Getting Clarity on the Hardest Marriage Decision — with Betsy Pake | Send us Fan Mail Betsy Pake is a master coach, speaker, and founder of the Navigate Method. She has also lived this question herself for nearly a decade before finally getting clear. In this episode she talks about what keeps women stuck, why taking accountability for where you are is actually empowering rather than letting anyone off the hook, how to calibrate for action rather than words when you're trying to figure out if someone is really willing to change, and the difference between sett... | 42m 29s | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | S4 E36: Emotional Intelligence, Dating After Divorce, and Why EQ Changes Every Relationship You Have with Kristen Harcourt | Send us Fan Mail Emotional intelligence isn't something you either have or you don't. It's a skill. And it might be the most important one you can build when you're navigating divorce, co-parenting, and figuring out who you are on the other side of a relationship. Kristen Harcourt — business coach, speaker, podcast host, and emotional intelligence expert — joins Alex and Amanda to talk about what EQ actually looks like in practice: how to regulate your emotions in real time during a difficult... | 56m 58s | ||||||
| 6/11/26 | S4 E35: Husbands May Come and Go, But Diamonds Are Forever: The Divorce Jewellery Dilemma—Keep It, Redesign It, or Sell It? with Jessica of Jessica Jewellery | Send us Fan Mail The engagement ring meant everything when he gave it to you. Now it's sitting in a drawer and you're not sure what to do with it. Sell it? Save it for your kids? Or turn it into something that finally feels like yours? Jessica of Jessica Jewellry joins Alex and Amanda to walk through every stage of the post-divorce jewelry journey, from the woman who calls fresh out of a split wanting it gone immediately, to the one a decade later who's ready to redesign it into something tha... | 44m 00s | ||||||
| 6/4/26 | S4 E34: A Dad's Mission to Support Teen Mental Health — with Chris Coulter | Send us Fan Mail After the most difficult experience of his life, Chris Coulter spent a decade speaking with more than 2,000 parents who were struggling to understand what was really going on with their teenagers. What he found was a consistent gap — parents dismissing warning signs as normal adolescent behavior, and teenagers who wouldn't open up to the people who loved them most. In this episode Chris talks about his daughter Maddie, what he learned in the years that followed her passing, a... | 46m 47s | ||||||
| 5/28/26 | S4 E33: Coercive Control, Counter-Parenting, and Protecting Your Kids — with Dr. Christine Cocchiola | Send us Fan Mail She spent 27 years married to her abuser. She was a domestic abuse counselor the entire time. And she still didn't recognize what was happening to her until year 20 of her marriage. Dr. Christine Cocchiola — licensed social worker, professor, therapist, survivor, and protective mom — joins Alex and Amanda to talk about coercive control as the foundation of all abuse, not just the violent incidents we're taught to look for. She explains the dark tetrad of personality traits th... | 47m 19s | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | S4 E32: The Legal Fight to Make Canada's Courts Prioritize Abuse Survivors — Part 2 with Kathryn Marshall | Send us Fan Mail Over half of all criminal cases in Canada involve intimate partner violence or sexual assault. And those are the exact cases being quietly pushed to the bottom of the pile when courtrooms run out of time and resources. In part two of her conversation with Alex and Amanda, Kathryn Marshall breaks down how trial stacking is working against abuse survivors, what the Hockey Canada trial revealed about how the criminal court system treats victims, why she believes Zoom court has ... | 42m 50s | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | S4 E31: Suing the Government Over a Justice System That's Failing Survivors — with Kathryn Marshall | Send us Fan Mail Hundreds of domestic violence and sexual assault cases are being thrown out before they ever get to trial. Abusers are walking away with no criminal record and nothing on their file. And survivors are being silenced in the process. Kathryn Marshall of Marshall Law is suing the federal government over it. In this episode she breaks down exactly how the justice system is failing abuse survivors, why she now tells some clients to skip criminal court entirely, and what it actuall... | 30m 31s | ||||||
| 5/7/26 | S4 E30: Mother's Day — The Good, The Guilt, and The Working Weekend | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alex and Amanda get candid about the reality of Mother's Day — why it so often becomes the most exhausting day of the year, why divorced moms are doing something categorically different from married moms who think a solo weekend qualifies as the same experience, and why giving yourself permission to skip the celebration entirely is not only valid but sometimes the healthiest choice. They also get into mom judgment, the mental load of co-parenting versus count... | 31m 30s | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | [From the Vault] The Stepmom Experience | Send us Fan Mail Stepmoms are expected to show up like a parent, step back like a stranger, and never complain about any of it. Jamie Simkins — licensed therapist, stepmom coach, and stepmom twice over — has been there herself. In this episode from the vault, she gets into the real dynamics of blended family life: navigating a high conflict bio mom, connecting with stepkids before ever trying to discipline them, why stepdads get to be heroes while stepmoms become the scapegoat, and why she ca... | 40m 07s | ||||||
| 4/23/26 | S4 E29: Author, Founder, Advocate, and Survivor — Ismena Toscan on Protecting Every Child in Canada | Send us Fan Mail One in three Canadian girls has experienced childhood sexual abuse.

She is a survivor, the founder of the Hula Hoop Initiative, the author of two children's books on body autonomy and personal safety, and someone who has already spoken at the House of Commons in support of the Keeping Children Safe Act.

He also gets into why reunification therapy has no standardized training, no governing body, and no consistent methodology, why the Department of Justice's own HELP Toolkit confirms abuse is relevant to parenting but th... | 53m 17s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | S4 E26: Parental Alienation, Institutional Betrayal, and Why Family Court Keeps Getting It Wrong — with Philip Viater | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alex and Amanda sit down with Philip Viater, a family lawyer with 17 years of experience at VP Family Law Group, for one of the most candid conversations about the failures of family court we've ever had. Philip breaks down why parental alienation is predominantly used as a defense against abuse rather than a genuine diagnosis, why he views it as junk science not recognized by the DSM, and why the moment someone raises it in his cases he considers it a red fl... | 38m 06s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | S4 E25: The Prenup Episode: Why More Couples Are Choosing Prenups — and What You Need to Know Before You Do | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alex and Amanda sit down with family lawyers Sean Valentine and Ryan Osbourne — co-creators of I Do Prenup, an app that lets couples generate a real marriage contract in hours for a fraction of traditional legal costs.

Dale also shares what it was like growing up as a child of divorce — including years in a nesting arrangement — and how t... | 33m 40s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 | S4 E23: Roommate Syndrome, Bad Marriage Advice, and the Tool That Tells You Whether to Stay or Leave | Send us Fan Mail Most couples don't fall out of love dramatically. They just slowly stop paying attention to each other — until one day they look up and realize they're running a household with a stranger. In this episode, Alex and Amanda sit down with marriage coach Monica Tanner to talk about why the advice you've been given — don't sweat the small stuff, compromise, just let it go — might actually be accelerating the drift. Monica introduces the idea of skillful communication over lazy com... | 48m 41s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 | S4 E22: Coercive Control: How to Build Your Case Before You're Ready to Leave | Send us Fan Mail If you're in a controlling relationship, start writing everything down — today. Not someday. Today. Family lawyer Maryam Manteghi explains exactly how a journal becomes the foundation of a coercive control case, why abusers follow a predictable playbook, and what women can do right now to protect themselves whether they're ready to leave or not.

| 2/19/26 | S4 E20: Emotions Are Running Your Divorce — And Nobody's Talking About the Bill | Send us Fan Mail Anger makes you call your lawyer over nothing. Guilt makes you waive spousal support you're owed. And everyone walks into family court thinking they're about to win something — which is precisely when things go sideways. In this solo episode, Alex and Amanda get into the mechanics of emotional sabotage in divorce: how guilt leads to lopsided concessions, why anger turns a $300 problem into a $1,000 phone call, and the surprisingly pervasive myth that there's a winner and a lo... | 30m 22s | ||||||
| 2/12/26 | S4 E19: MP Melissa Lantsman on Bill C-225 Intimate Partner Violence | Send us Fan Mail MP Melissa Lantsman breaks down Bailey's Law (Bill C-225) and why making intimate partner murder automatic first-degree murder could save lives.
