117: How you can re-write your story with divorce specialist & blended family aficionado mom Renee Bauer

One of the byproducts of the COVID pandemic is that divorce rates have gone up.

Often the things that are taboo are the hardest to talk about, but I feel it takes extreme times to speak up and be honest about our inner happiness and truth. Today’s guest Renee Bauer is an entrepreneur, author, peacemaker and blended family aficionado. …and is dedicated to helping you find your Happy Even After. She is also someone who speaks truthfully about uncomfortable topics and believes wholely that we deserve to live our most rewarding and fulfilling life experiences.

Renee is a mom of a four (including 3 step kids) who has won awards, faced her fear of public speaking, litigated cases in a courtroom, and grew a business from nothing but a folding table into a thriving family law firm in Connecticut.

She has been divorced (twice) and now is married to a man who is her partner in every sense of the word. …those bumps and bruises along the way led her to the happiest, most complete, most purposeful version of herself today. I believe that doing the big, scary, uncomfortable thing can be the most rewarding and fulfilling experience of your life.

Today we talk about:

•  How to get rid of shame or “less than-ness” in any facet of our lives whether it is our relationship, jobs or life choices.

• How to approach divorce in an empathetic and loving way
• Why mediation is a much preferred method to litigation
• How to keep your family in tact after a divorce
• Why being amicable during the process is important for the future of co-parenting and for your kids
• Other benefits of mediation
