Speak Before You’re Ready with Lorraine Connell of Speak Boldly

You've had the thought more than once. You have something to say. Something worth hearing. Maybe it's a story you lived through that could change how someone else sees their own situation. Maybe it's an idea you keep circling back to, one that could genuinely help people — if you ever actually said it out loud. But you haven't. Not really. Not in the way it deserves. Maybe you've told yourself you need more credentials first. More polish. A better origin story or a clearer message. Maybe you've watched other women step into the spotlight and thought, "I could never do that," even though something in you knows you're sitting on material that matters. This session is for women who know they are meant for more but have hesitated to share their voice publicly. It is not about becoming a perfect speaker. It's not about memorizing a TED Talk formula or learning to perform confidence you don't feel yet. It's about learning how to stop hiding — the stories, the ideas, the hard-won experiences that could genuinely inspire change in someone else's life. Because the thing holding most women back from speaking isn't a lack of talent or content. It's the belief that what they have isn't ready, isn't enough, or isn't theirs to share. And that belief is worth examining — out loud, in a room full of women who are working through the same thing.

Designing a "Child-Centric" Infrastructure: Blueprints for a Collaborative Next Chapter with David Fein of Fein Legal Solutions, LLC dba The Law Office of David Fein

He'll also touch on regional resources and community support that can help hold the structure in place. Less courtroom, more blueprint.

6 Truths About Divorce & Kids That Might Make You Mad At Me with Tracy Galloway of THE DIVORCE BOOTCAMP

Attorney Tracy Galloway isn't here to tell you what you want to hear. In this straight-talking session, she challenges six common assumptions divorcing parents carry — the ones that feel like rules but are really just fear, guilt, or social pressure dressed up as good parenting. Whether it's how you think you're supposed to act, what you think you owe, or what you've been told the kids "need," Tracy asks you to reconsider. You might push back. That's kind of the point.

Divorce & College Planning: What Parents and Professionals Need To Know with Vicki Vollweiler of College Financial Prep

Your clients are making college funding mistakes right now — and most don't even know it. Custody arrangements that quietly disqualify a child from financial aid. Settlement agreements that overlook how FAFSA's custodial parent rules actually work. Remarriages that change the entire aid picture overnight. These aren't edge cases. They're happening in your practice, and they're costing families thousands. This webinar with college funding expert Vicki Vollweiler will give you the knowledge to spot these issues before they become expensive problems for your clients. You'll learn how custody and parenting plan language directly impacts financial aid eligibility, the most common (and costly) college funding mistakes divorcing and divorced families make, what remarriage actually does to a family's FAFSA profile — and what most people get wrong about it, cost-saving strategies your clients won't hear from a college admissions office, and how to talk to clients about college expenses before co-parent communication breaks down. Whether you're an attorney drafting a settlement, a mediator facilitating parenting plan negotiations, a CDFA running the numbers, or a coach helping a client think long-term — this is the kind of specialized knowledge that sets you apart. Your clients are already worried about paying for college. When you can walk them through the landmines they didn't see coming, you become the professional they refer everyone to.

18 and Legal: The 4 Documents Every Young Adult Needs with Jessica Zadjura of Zadjura Family Law LLC

Turning 18 is exciting—and it quietly changes almost everything about how you can show up for your child in an emergency. In this parent-friendly session, we’ll explain why “adulthood on paper” means doctors, schools, and banks may no longer be allowed to talk to you, even if you’re the one paying the bills. We’ll walk through the four essential legal documents that help your young adult name the people they trust to step in if they’re sick, traveling, or facing a financial or medical emergency. You’ll hear what these documents actually do (in normal-people language), when they matter most, and how to approach the conversation with a teen or college student who doesn’t want to think about “what ifs.” We’ll also cover what “minimum viable” planning looks like for different family situations, so you can start with the essentials instead of feeling like you have to do everything at once. Expect practical examples, helpful scripts, and plenty of reassurance that you don’t have to get it perfect to make a big difference. You’ll leave with a clear checklist to get these documents in place and a better understanding of how to support your young adult without overstepping. Hosted by Fresh Starts Registry and attorney Jessica Zadjura of Zadjura Family Law LLC.

Some days your body is holding things your mind hasn't caught up to yet. This session is designed to help you close that gap — gently.

It's about landing somewhere softer. Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.

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.

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.

Whether you're familiar with SOLAGREE® or hearing about it for the first time, this is a chance to understand how it works and why that early agreement can reshape the entire experience.

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.
