Multidisciplinary life coach, psychotherapist, author, and artist Liz Goll Lerner recently joined the DaliTalks Podcast for a groundbreaking conversation aimed at shifting the cultural narrative surrounding divorce. Stepping away from the traditional view of separation as an inherently destructive war zone, Lerner introduces listeners to the empowering concept of “Divorce Wellness”—a philosophy dedicated to helping families move from destruction to profound transformation.

In a deeply personal and insightful episode, Lerner shares actionable strategies for individuals navigating one of life’s most challenging transitions. The episode tackles the fear, stigma, and emotional turmoil often associated with splitting up, reframing the experience as an opportunity for personal evolution.

Listeners of the episode will discover:

• The Power of the Separation Party: Lerner opens up about why she and her ex-husband chose to throw a party to announce their split, and what the community’s reaction revealed about societal trauma surrounding divorce.

• Strategy as Self-Care: Dispelling the myth that being strategic is underhanded, Lerner explains how intentional planning is actually an essential act of self-care and family preservation.

• Protecting the Peace: Practical advice on setting firm boundaries with well-meaning friends and ensuring children are fiercely protected from adult “venting” and crossfire.

• The Antidote to Fear: Why seeking out accurate information is the ultimate tool for reclaiming agency when the future feels uncertain.

“Divorce is undeniably hard, but staying in an unhealthy situation can be harder,” says Lerner. “If you’re ready to stop ‘breaking’ and start ‘evolving,’ this conversation is for you. You have more agency than you think. Let’s do this well.”

The episode serves as a vital companion piece to Lerner’s newly released book, Divorce Well and Thrive: How to Be Your Best Self Under the Worst Circumstances, which provides a roadmap for readers looking to maintain their integrity, peace, and well-being throughout the separation process.
