Profile Information

About Me:
Hi there, I am a counsellor/Life coach with a field of interest in Teens, Parenting, Single Parenting and Divorce related issues.
Having struggled through my own life’s challenges I awakened to the realization and importance of parenting after divorce.
My aim is to provide divorcing parents with the support and solutions best adapted to both their personalities in order to help them re-look their pattern of communications and better their relationship as co-parents.
There isn't anything more rewarding than the privilege of having children.
If what you truly want is the best for your children, do the right thing for them, even if it means compromising some parts of your life.

Do whatever you need to have your children experience the love they deserve from both parents.
You owe it to them.

I am also the founder of SADSA | The South African Divorce Support Association - www.sadsa.net

I love your answer in the Forum Nadia. Very well put.

Yes, I think we all agree here that a paradigm shift is in order - and we are each a part of it!

Peaceful Divorce is a movement, and we are thrilled that it is global. Please feel free to contribute blog posts or articles, and I will be happy to feature them on the main page!

Hi Nadia:

Your comments resonated with me and I share your passion for easing the way for families faced with divorce. My philosophy parallels yours and I'd love to talk with you about ways to spread the word.

Best wishes,

Hi Nadia:

Thanks for inviting me to be a friend!

I was in your beautiful country in May for almost the entire month! I fell completely in love with Africa. I was working and teaching most of the time but I did make it to the Bush for several days! I am hooked; and totally transformed.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Warm regards,
Jackie

Hi Nadia -

It is a thought-provoking question!

The place that each of us finds our "piece of the peaceful divorce puzzle" is within ourselves.

It seems to me like a part of your piece of the puzzle is "to provide divorcing parents with the support and solutions best adapted to both their personalities in order to help them re-look their pattern of communications and better their relationship as co-parents." (your words!) :-)

Together, with each of our unique messages, we can (and will) change the way the world divorces. Once you feel comfortable with your answer, we'd love to read it on the Forum!

Warm regards,

Cynthia

Hi Cynthia and thanks for the warm welcome. I'm a bit "puzzled" by my missing piece? Where am I supposed to find this piece of puzzle?

What Is a Caucus?

One of the guiding values in mediation and collaborative law is transparency. It comes with the territory when one is trying to establish trust with two different parties. Sometimes an issue may arise that one party may wish not to discuss in front of the other. If they both agree, separate meetings may take place. These meetings are called caucuses.Caucuses can be…See More

How Important Is the Budget in Divorce Planning?

I think everyone’s least favorite word is BUDGET. Why don’t we want to hear that word? Think about it: We’re asking ourselves to do something we don’t want to do — or worse yet, someone else is asking us to do it. While we might not like them, having a budget does help. In divorce planning — whether you are going to litigation,…See More

21st Century Parenting Plans

I remember when the default custody arrangement had one parent as the custodial parent, and the other parent was known as the “Disneyland parent.” They had their children every other weekend, and maybe once during the week for dinner. Today it is more common to see joint parenting time consist of one week on, and one week off or “two-two-five-five” time,…See More

Including a Financial Professional in Your Mediation

Very often, couples who are divorcing amicably, or who have straightforward financial situations, will forgo meeting with a financial professional while they go through mediation. Though this may seem logical on its face, “going it alone” may result in unnecessary hardship and inaccurate calculations.  It is easy to simply look at a tax table today and say “I am going…See More

Going through divorce means dealing with hundreds of details, some more important than others.
