Until There Was Me™, The Podcast
Consciously Make The Divorce Process More Amicable
This week on the podcast I dive in head first to learn the alternative to a high-conflict, litigious divorce process: Mediation.
As with almost anything in life, if there's a way to go through a process with more ease, I am all for it! Divorce costs an average of $30,000 per couple and takes almost a year to complete in the United States. Those stats vary greatly depending on household income, geographic location, and more.
Still, if you had to go through a process that would cost you $30K and take a year to complete, wouldn't you want to do it in a way that could actually save you time, money, and energy?!?!?!
HELL YES!
