In this episode, I’m breaking down why “fair” isn’t about being nice to your ex—it’s about saving your money, your sanity, and your future. Fair doesn’t feel as good as winning, but it’s the only thing that actually works.

]]><![CDATA[Ep. 82 - The Cost of Being Right]]>https://mymm.substack.com/p/ep-82-the-cost-of-being-righthttps://mymm.substack.com/p/ep-82-the-cost-of-being-rightWed, 03 Dec 2025 17:00:56 GMTWhen you’ve been wronged, you want vindication—you want someone to declare you were right and they were wrong. But being right in family law is expensive as hell: it costs you tens of thousands of dollars, years of your life, damage to your kids and your co-parenting relationship, and your ability to move forward. In this episode, I’m breaking down what “being right” behavior actually looks like (relitigating the past, fighting on principle, proving who’s the better parent), what it really costs in money and sanity, and when standing your ground actually matters versus when you’re just setting money on fire to feed your ego.

I’m breaking down what equal participation actually means, the red flags that tell me someone’s not really committed, and why I won’t chase you or let one person carry the entire process. This isn’t me being harsh—this is just how mediation works, and I’d rather be honest upfront than take your money knowing it won’t succeed.

You’re two separate people with separate interests, and pretending otherwise doesn’t make mediation easier, it makes it impossible. In this episode, I’m breaking down why letting go of “we” is one of the hardest but most essential shifts you need to make, what “we” behavior actually looks like (and why it’s a red flag), and why mediation can only work when both people can advocate for themselves as individuals.

In this episode, I break down practical communication strategies, how to choose the right communication medium, what messages to respond to versus ignore, and how to set and enforce boundaries around timing and access. I also cover red flags that co-parenting may not be safe and what alternative options you have. You’ll leave with concrete tools to communicate only what’s necessary while protecting your mental health and safety.

You’ll hear how the reorganization and clarified definitions translate into what families, attorneys, and self‑represented parties can expect in mediation today.
