Client Conversations: Motivational Interviewing for Divorce Attorneys with Jeanne Ward of Jeanne Ward Coaching

Every divorce attorney knows the feeling. The client who can't make a decision. The one who fights every recommendation. The one who uses every meeting to vent instead of move forward. It's not that they don't want resolution — it's that they're stuck, and no amount of logic or legal reasoning is going to unstick them. Motivational Interviewing is a communication approach built for exactly this. Originally developed in clinical settings, MI has become one of the most effective tools for navigating conversations where emotions are high and forward motion has stalled — which makes it a natural fit for family law. This session introduces MI in a way that's designed specifically for divorce attorneys. No clinical background needed, no jargon, no role-playing exercises that make everyone uncomfortable. Just a practical, immediately applicable framework for the conversations you're already having. You'll learn how to recognize what's actually driving client resistance (it's rarely what it looks like on the surface), move emotionally stuck clients toward productive action without pushing them into a wall, reduce the conflict and circular conversations that eat up your time and their retainer, and create the conditions for more focused, cooperative clients — the kind who actually follow through between sessions. If you've ever left a client meeting thinking "I don't know how to get through to this person," this session gives you a concrete way in.

The Unfreeze: How to Stop Spiraling and Start Deciding
The Unfreeze: How to Stop Spiraling and Start Deciding with Lyerly Spongberg of Step Up With Lyerly

For anyone stuck in the overthinking loop — whether they're pre-divorce and can't stop running scenarios, mid-process and second-guessing every decision, or post-divorce and replaying what they could've done differently — this session would give them real, usable tools to move from paralysis to clarity. That's so squarely in your wheelhouse, and it's one of the things people get stuck on longest without realizing there's a way through it.

Good Mourning! with Lizzy Aurora of Love Smarts

You had a vision for your life — the marriage, the milestones, the future you were building together. And when that picture changes, it's not just a relationship ending. It's the loss of a whole imagined life. The holidays you pictured. The inside jokes you thought would last forever. The person you thought you'd grow old with. Healing isn't about pretending that vision never mattered. It's about honoring what it meant to you, affirming that it was real and worth wanting, and giving yourself permission to grieve it fully — not on anyone else's timeline, but on yours. And then, when you're ready (and only when you're ready), it's about making room. Room for a life that looks different than the one you planned — but one that's yours, on your own terms. Join Lizzy for a conversation about holding space for what was while opening the door to what's next. Because letting go of the life you thought you'd have doesn't mean letting go of yourself — it means finding your way back.

Change is Good — Also Uncomfortable, Complex, and Uncertain with Monique Alexander of Monique Speaks

Change can feel overwhelming, but it is often the catalyst for growth, renewal, and new opportunities. The trouble is that growth rarely arrives looking like growth — it arrives looking like uncertainty, discomfort, and a lot of unanswered questions. Most of us are taught to wait it out, or push through, or pretend we have a plan when we don't.In this session with life coach Monique Alexander, we delve into the power of embracing change, learning to approach it with faith, adaptability, and excitement. Monique will share the practices she uses with her own clients to move through transition without losing yourself in it — how to sit with the uncomfortable parts, recognize what's actually shifting underneath, and start building something new on the other side. You'll leave with concrete tools, a few honest reframes, and the reminder that change is good — and that being uncomfortable, complex, and uncertain is part of the deal, not a sign you're doing it wrong.
