In this powerful episode, divorce mediator Scott Levin interviews renowned divorce coach Vani Kovitch, who specializes in guiding clients through the storm of high-conflict divorces involving narcissistic partners.

Vani reveals real-world strategies to disarm manipulation, maintain your emotional stability, and sidestep costly mistakes that can drag out the process. Together, Scott and Vani break down the different types of narcissists, why strategy matters more than ever, and what you should—and shouldn’t—do when confronting a spouse who thrives on chaos and control.

• Avoid common pitfalls that empower your ex
• Communicate more effectively and set boundaries that stick
• Protect your finances, legal interests, and peace of mind

In this episode, I sit down with Sol Kennedy — founder of the BestInterest App, a powerful tool designed to transform co-parenting communication.

Sol built BestInterest out of necessity. Like many parents navigating divorce, he experienced firsthand how quickly communication can break down when emotions run high. Instead of accepting conflict as inevitable, he created a solution: an app that filters out negativity and delivers messages focused on facts, clarity, and what actually matters — the children.

We explore Sol’s personal journey through divorce, the moment he realized something had to change, and how technology can help parents communicate more effectively without escalating conflict. We also dive into practical strategies for co-parenting, reducing emotional triggers, and creating a healthier dynamic for your kids.

If you’re navigating divorce or co-parenting challenges, this conversation offers both insight and a tangible path forward. For more information, visit www.bestinterest.app.

In this episode, Scott Levin sits down with Amanda Mason, founder of Solagree, to explore a smarter, more modern approach to divorce—one that replaces conflict with clarity, efficiency, and collaboration.

Amanda shares how her Solagree process is reshaping the way couples navigate divorce by combining elements of mediation, arbitration, and transparent flat-fee pricing into a streamlined system designed to keep families out of court. Together, Scott and Amanda dive into what makes this model so effective, why traditional litigation often fails families, and how professionals can guide clients toward more peaceful and predictable outcomes.

As Scott often explains to his clients: imagine you’re planning a trip to Hawaii. The goal isn’t to spend all your time dealing with airport security, long lines, and a cramped flight—it’s to get to the beach and enjoy the destination. Divorce can be the same way. The focus shouldn’t be on the turbulence of the process, but on reaching a peaceful resolution and a better next chapter.

If you’re interested in resolving divorce in a way that minimizes stress, reduces cost, and prioritizes long-term success, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
