In this insightful episode, Joanna Toch speaks with Louize Yafai, a breakup, divorce, and domestic abuse coach. Louize shares her personal journey through an acrimonious divorce and how it inspired her to become a coach. She discusses the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, strategies for emotional regulation, the importance of taking control, and how coaching can complement legal advice. The conversation also touches on financial abuse, co-parenting, boundary setting, and rebuilding confidence post-divorce. Topics Covered: Louize’s personal experience with divorce and emotional overwhelm How coaching helps individuals process emotions and regain control The importance of a support network in divorce Common emotional patterns in breakups and strategies for emotional regulation How financial abuse manifests and how to rebuild financial independence Co-parenting: The difference between co-parenting and parallel parenting The impact of unresolved trauma on future relationships How boundary setting builds confidence and self-worth Moving on after divorce and preparing for a new relationship Guest Bio: Louize Yafai is a certified breakup, divorce, and domestic abuse coach. Having navigated her own high-conflict divorce, she now helps individuals process emotions, build confidence, and move forward with clarity and empowerment. Five Key Takeaways Divorce is an Emotional Rollercoaster: It’s normal to experience shifting emotions—anger, sadness, relief, and frustration. Coaching helps process these feelings constructively. Lawyers Aren’t Emotional Support Systems: Lawyers provide legal strategy, not emotional guidance. Coaching ensures clients can engage effectively with their legal team. Regaining Financial Independence is Empowering: Many individuals, particularly women, feel lost post-divorce. Small wins, like opening a solo bank account, help rebuild confidence. Co-Parenting Requires Emotional Maturity: It’s about prioritizing the children’s needs over parental conflict. Parallel parenting often exacerbates tension. You Must Heal Before Entering a New Relationship: Without self-reflection and boundary setting, people risk repeating unhealthy relationship patterns.…
