How to Make Good Divorce Decisions with Karen Covy on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #306

Today on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by guest Karen Covy as she shares what you need to know and do to make good decisions.  This is especially important during divorce, so listen in! 

Divorce is a time when you are going to make important life decisions in a short period. If you don’t know how or don’t do it well, you will kick yourself in the aftermath. When discussing divorce, we don’t typically talk about making sound, reasoned decisions and, more specifically, how to make them. In this episode, Karen takes us through a scientific approach to decision-making. She helps you become the CEO of divorce and learn how to make those big decisions and do it well.  You never want to look back and think, I wish I had thought that through more clearly - so be sure to listen and learn!

Karen Covy is a Divorce and Decision Coach, Lawyer, Mediator, Speaker, and Author. She coaches busy professionals and business owners who want to make clear, confident decisions during highly-charged emotional situations. Karen also helps her clients become the CEOs of their divorce so that they can navigate their divorce with less conflict, less expense, and less damage to themselves and their children. 

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

• What the science of decision-making tells us about deciding to divorce - Hint: it’s all emotional.
• How to make a big, emotional decision when there’s a lot at stake, and you don’t want to screw up 
• “A big part of the decision-making process is figuring out what you want and then believing you have the ability to create that thing.”
• Where to start when deciding whether you should stay or go 
• Why it’s important to reality-test your options
• “If you don’t take action on a decision, it’s not really a decision.”
