No one goes into a marriage expecting to get divorced. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that many marriages fail and when they fail it is so important to have the right people on your side to help you navigate this extremely intimate and sensitive time. This week on We Can Be Real I’m talking about prenups, signs of separation, and having a “successful” divorce.

Angela Kim is the chair of HDRB&B’s Matrimonial and Family Law Department. Her clients rely on her at critical – and often profoundly upsetting – moments in their lives. Angela handles a wide range of matrimonial and family law matters, including marriage dissolution (divorce), property distribution, child custody, spousal support, child support, and matrimonial agreements (prenuptial, post-nuptial and separation). A key part of Angela’s practice centers on economics and personal financial matters in an effort to secure equitable treatment for her clients. Angela chose to practice law because people are important to her; she wanted to belong to a profession where she could have a positive impact on lives and bring something back to the community.

In this episode, Angela and I discuss:

• How a good mentor can help move you forward in your life and career.
• A matrimonial attorney’s thoughts on prenups.
• Signs that your marriage might be headed for divorce.
• Knowing when it’s time to call it quits for the best interest of all parties.
• What a “successful” divorce looks like.

If you’re like me trying to date again later in life, you may have realized that dating isn’t how it used to be. In this digital era of dating, you might find yourself intimidated to even start or end up on dates with all the wrong guys. That’s why for Valentine's Day I wanted to treat my listeners to an episode with love coach, Natalie Kita. This week on We Can Be Real Natalie and I are talking about finding your last love.

Natalie Kita is a love coach, helping smart, successful, spiritually conscious, "single again" women over 40 stop choosing and attracting the wrong guys. Her methods help her clients say goodbye forever to loneliness and rejection and manifest healthy, fulfilling, deeply connected, and lasting love with the exact right partner, in just 3-6 months.

In this episode, Natalie and I discuss:

• Natalie’s recommended pre-date screening process to get to know your online date better beforehand and protect yourself as a woman.
• There is so much inner work that needs to be done and mental blocks to work through before you can begin choosing the right people to date.
• What it means to date someone at the same bus stop as you.
• Choosing someone that aligns with your lifestyle, personality and values is much more important than seeking out someone for appearances.
• Reflecting on your non-negotiables, soul’s desires and cherry on top BEFORE you begin dating.
