| 0:00.0 | This is an IHeart podcast. |
| 0:16.2 | So we're going to start talking about divorce again because people have been asking about it too much. |
| 0:21.2 | And I'm going to talk more about concepts versus like this exact thing happened to me. |
| 0:27.8 | Now, this will be informed by my own institutional knowledge, but I'm going to talk in a way that will help people that are stuck and they think they're never going to get out. |
| 0:39.4 | I can promise you you will get out. It will feel like a death. It will feel like you're being |
| 0:45.5 | tortured. It will feel like misery, pain. You will lose hair. You will get gray. Your skin will be |
| 0:51.1 | dry. You will be exhausted. You'll be dehydrated, but there will be things you can do. |
| 0:56.8 | If you're in a contentious divorce with someone that has some control over you, often someone has |

| 1:36.6 | a person who wants to torture you can. So you need tools to mitigate that and to deal with it for your own personal sanity and for the long game and for the strategy. |
| 1:48.3 | Because like in a sport, divorce is a sport and a difficult divorce and a custody battle is a sport. |
| 1:54.3 | And in order for you to navigate that and do well at that, you have to preserve your own energy. |
| 2:00.7 | So if you flap your wings and get |
| 2:02.4 | worked up for every single thing, which is what people getting divorced do, you won't be able to go |
| 2:08.3 | the long haul, have enough money to go the long haul, preserve your energy, preserve your money, |
| 2:14.0 | preserve your peace, and get what you want because it takes a long time because |
| 2:17.9 | the legal system is bullshit. It is archaic and it is not proportionate to like what's going on |
