Ep 095: Breaking Relationship Patterns with special guest Johanna Lynn, Founder of The Family Imprint Institute This week’s guest is Johanna Lynn, founder of The Family Imprint Institute. I found her to be one of the most informative guests on your show. Her approach is so smart and gets to the heart of dealing with your own family history and the patterns before you in your lifetime. The center of where your feelings and interactions begin. Family influences and past pain and how you dealt with it create patterns for years to come. While working through stress and broken relationships or marriage, take the time to grieve and get rid of your anger. You can’t move on without healing your own wounds. Set new goals and become clear on what you really want. With things resolved in your personal life, you’ll have time to laugh, intimacy, and fun. Prioritize time for your work. Stay embodied in yourself and always trust your gut instincts. Each week Mom-nonymous shares her thoughts on the episode. Mom-nonymous is a wife, mom, and listener of Life Lafter Divorce Podcast. She’s been married for over 50 years, has never been divorced, and would like to remain anonymous.

Episode 092: Narcissist Relationships Part 2 of 2 Healing After Abuse with special guest Susan Ball Now I get it! Susan, this was the day you realized it was time to get help. In the heat of an argument, when he tried to strangle you, you ran out the front door and ran five blocks to the police station with your husband behind you. He got arrested and spent the night in jail. However…Surprise! Surprise! His girlfriend bailed him out. Susan did not know about the girlfriend until now. In conversations with her sister, Susan’s sister says, “Well I blame you. If you really want out, you need to move away and never see him again. You do not want your girls to see more of this.” Indeed, it was a time for smart decisions. This left Susan with raw emotions, guilt, shame, and confusion. Healing was needed and she had much to deal with. Susan hired a life coach who encouraged her to start a success journal. She was encouraged to write about each achievement, celebrate, and keep moving on. Have your rages and your weeping times. It helps to release your emotions.

Episode 090: Divorcing a Narcissist with special guest Leanne Townsend Leanne Townsend is an attorney in Toronto, Canada. Her expertise is domestic and victim advocacy. She is also a life coach. She is especially good at guiding clients through divorce and knows the smart way to go about it. When you know it’s time to get out, one of the first things to do is get every single document, social security numbers, passport, bank statements (both checking and savings), investments, etc. out of reach or access to partner. Don’t escalate into confrontation and don’t tell partner you are leaving. Get your ducks in a row and get out when he is not home. In some cases, the only contact you should have with the narcissist is through your attorney. Most of the time it’s important that you cannot be reached by him. Protect yourself and get coaching to guide you all the way. Get the support that you need, and if you need a financial planner, get one. Do this in a smart and safe manner, get on with your life, and be happy. Great advice.

Episode 084: Brazil, Missing Husband, Ohio, Cops, Rajneesh, & Geddy Lee with special guest Kathleen Parsons Kathleen Parsons was a very free spirited young girl when she left her Ohio home at the age of 14 to live in Hawaii for awhile. It was just the beginning of her travels and free lifestyle and adventures. While living the good times in San Francisco, she enjoyed the company of many friends from different countries. The subject of “green cards” came up often in conversation and she was wondering if she would need one also.That was the Haight and Ashbury scene, and most of her new friends went by different names. It was a place of ongoing party life. One night she went to a male strip joint and really liked the looks of a handsome guy. So she put $20s in his g-string and told him you can’t keep it so you will have to give it all back to me because I really need it. And he did. The following evening she went to a house party and their he was, dancing naked.

Episode 083: Single Mom Finds Her Love Has No Limits with special guest Maleka Long Chris Maleka Long Chris, founder of Love Beyond Limits, told her story of her upbringing, failed marriage, and her happy 2nd marriage today. It had been an ongoing struggle for years. She has seen family members incarcerated, has had children before marriage, had little help or good advice, and to say the least, no role models. She and her first husband even had a child born with sickle cell anemia. There were lots of hospital bills and yet he thought they should have another child. They eventually split up but then went back together for a short time. Maleka filed for divorce in 2008. In 2009, Maleka’s Grandmother, Dad, and Mom all passed away. Maleka had created a secure home open to friends and neighbors and family. It was a place of acceptance and belonging for her friends and community. It motivated her desire to create a non-profit. Maleka read a book called “Non-Profit for Dummies” to figure it out.  That was just the beginning Maleka’s successes. She has since wrote a book and her program “LOVE BEYOND LIMITS” is ongoing in Long Beach and other cities in Southern California. She has created on-going

Episode 081: e’d Rather Be In Ihe Ring Than Wear It with special guest Frankie “Mr. Top Notch” Estrella Vacation is over! Now I’m back to reviewing Life lafter Divorce podcast week 81. Quite the colorful character this week, none other than Frankie “Top Notch” Estrella. Wow! He gave us such insight into the life of a professional wrestler. I was so unaware of that lifestyle. I do get the whole going to the gym in the middle of the night and it’s just a huge part of your personal hours and the need to work out. Frankie mentioned his Mom’s thoughts on not being with one woman and he found out that she was right. Serious girlfriends did not fit in with your lifestyle. However, married wrestlers doing their threesomes is news to me. The very thought of it never crossed my mind. But hey, I now have a new way to view wrestlers. Frankie certainly had his experience with relationships. They were all somewhat different but he learned a lot about women and himself over the years. He has also grown and got clean. He is now having fun in the comedy world and enjoying a little karaoke. It’s perfect for him. All Frankie needs
