Show Chatter that Matters, Ep Dr. Suzanne Vickberg - Moving on but not Moving Out - May 12, 2023. In honour of Mother's Day, I'd like to share the inspiring story of Dr. Suzanne Vickberg. Despite divorcing her husband twelve years ago, she still lives with him, their children, and his new wife - not as a 'Jerry Springer' spectacle, but as a testament to the idea that divorce doesn't have to be devastating and that family comes first. For Dr. Vickberg, her divorce wasn't a failure but an opportunity to find a new way forward. She refused to limit herself to the binary choice of staying or leaving and instead moved into the guest room, which ultimately allowed her family to remain intact. This is a story of a mother's love and sacrifice for her family and how it can lead to unexpected and beautiful outcomes.

Show Divorcing Well, Ep Divorce By Design With Suzanne Vickberg - 1 May 2023. In this week’s episode of Divorcing Well, I chat with author and coach, Suzanne Vickberg, about how to design your divorce. Suzanne discusses her book, Divorce By Design, and how her and her partner were able to be creative in designing the divorce that worked best for their family. Suzanne discusses how her and her partner, along with her partner’s new spouse, have lived together for over thirteen years, raising their family together in a respectful, positive approach. While Suzanne agrees that this living arrangement may not work for many people, she focuses on advising others how they can think outside the box with their divorce, have their own “divorce vision”, and they don’t have to just blindly follow the negative, adversarial approach used by so many people. This podcast is a must listen for anyone going through divorce who wants to use a positive, creative approach.
