| 10/23/26 | Redefining Family: Embracing the Diversity of Modern Families | Send us Fan Mail A family can be real, loving, and stable while still confusing the paperwork and the strangers in the grocery store. We’re joined by author and teacher Lane Igoudin to talk about what it actually looks like to build a modern family through foster care adoption, and why that choice can feel both deeply personal and quietly political, especially for LGBTQ parents who have had to claim space everywhere they go. Lane shares the road he and his husband took as a multiracial same ... | 28m 53s | ||||||
| 10/13/26 | Your Paralegal Is Calling—Here's Why That’s a Good Thing! | Send us Fan Mail You hired a family law attorney, so why are you spending so much time talking to a paralegal? If that’s been bugging you, you’re not alone and it might actually be a sign your case is being handled the right way.

| 9/17/26 | Divorce by ChatGPT? Why AI Can’t Replace a Divorce Attorney | Send us Fan Mail AI can sound calm, confident, and decisive when you’re panicking about custody, support, or how to even start a divorce. That’s exactly why relying on a chatbot as your divorce attorney is so risky. We sit down with founding attorney Lewis Landerholm to unpack what people miss when they treat AI legal advice like the final answer, especially in family law where the details and the judge matter. We talk through the accuracy problem first: AI can pull the wrong jurisdiction, m... | 22m 23s | ||||||
| 9/8/26 | Divorce & Debt: What Happens If Your Ex Doesn’t Pay? | Send us Fan Mail A divorce decree can say your ex “must pay the debt” and you can still be the one getting collection calls, credit dings, and lawsuit threats. That disconnect is what we unpack with our founding attorney, Lewis Landerholm, as we walk through the real-world pitfalls of marital debt division and why a judge’s order does not automatically bind credit card companies, mortgage lenders, or the IRS. We get specific about the debts that cause the biggest post-divorce surprises... | 16m 30s | ||||||

| 7/31/26 | Financial Planning for Retirement and Estate Planning: Using Pop Culture to Simplify Complex Concepts | Send us Fan Mail Your will can be perfectly written and still do almost nothing you intended.

We sit down with CPA and certified financial analyst Jesse Hurst to connect the dots between retirement planning and estate planning in plain English, including how pop culture can make complicated money topics easier to r... | 26m 35s | ||||||
| 7/10/26 | Pop Culture Guided Financial Planning for Retirement After a Divorce | Send us Fan Mail Divorce can leave you holding a stack of statements and a knot in your stomach, wondering what you actually own, what it means, and whether retirement is still possible. We sit down with Jesse Hurst, a CPA and Chartered Financial Analyst, to talk through the real-world money decisions that hit right after a divorce and how to replace fear with a plan you can live with. Jesse’s twist is simple and surprisingly effective: use pop culture, music, and familiar stories to make com... | 33m 24s | ||||||
| 6/9/26 | The Divorce Worry List: What Keeps People Up at Night Before Filing for Divorce | Send us Fan Mail Divorce can feel like stepping into a fog where every rumor sounds like fact: you will lose the house, you will be broke, the case will drag on for years, and the court will air every private detail. Steve Altishin sits down with Founding Attorney Lewis Landerholm to name the concerns people bring to an initial divorce consultation and to explain what’s real, what’s misunderstood, and what you can actually control. We start with the fear that hits first for most families: fi... | 27m 53s | ||||||

| 5/19/26 | The Business Breakup: The Realities of Business Division in Oregon Divorce | Send us Fan Mail Your business is not “just an asset.” For a lot of owners, it’s years of risk, late nights, pride, and a sense of security for the future. That’s why business ownership in an Oregon divorce can turn into one of the most intense parts of the entire case, and why the wrong assumption early on can cost you later. We sit down with Lewis Landerholm to map out what actually needs to be answered when a company is on the table: Is it marital property or is there a credible separate ... | 19m 30s | ||||||
