Divorce can leave even the most confident person questioning their judgment. When fear, conflict, and competing advice enter the picture, every decision can feel overwhelming. Rebuilding trust in yourself is not about having every answer—it begins with making small, intentional choices grounded in reliable information and what matters most to you.
In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan speak with conflict-resolution expert Amy Armstrong, LISW-S, about breaking the cycle of overthinking and reconnecting with your own inner authority. Amy shares practical strategies for sorting decisions into “yes, no, or later,” choosing people who support a positive vision for your future, and establishing boundaries that protect your well-being without attempting to control someone else.
The conversation also explores the connection between emotional regulation and financial clarity. Whether you are communicating with a difficult co-parent, preparing for mediation, or making decisions about your financial future, learning to respond from a grounded place can help you move forward with greater confidence and control.
