  • Parenting | Social Media After Separation: When Milestones Hurt Because the Story Isn't Yours

    Parenting | Social Media After Separation: When Milestones Hurt Because the Story Isn't Yours
    Jan 21 2026

    Some of the hardest days after separation aren't the days where everything falls apart.

    They're the days that look "fine" on paper — birthdays, Christmas morning, school milestones, first days back — and yet I still feel that sting afterwards.

    In this episode, I'm talking about why milestone days can hurt more than you expect, especially when social media tells the story first. Not because a photo is "wrong"… but because the timing, the caption, and the implied narrative can leave you feeling edited out of your child's life.

    This isn't petty. It's grief meeting visibility. And it's more common than people admit.

    In this episode, I cover:

    • Why special occasions after separation can feel heavier than ordinary days;

    • The difference between missing a moment and being missing from the story;

    • How "posting" becomes a proxy fight for identity, belonging, and being seen as a parent;

    • What kids absorb from adult emotion around photos, captions, and visibility;

    • Practical social media boundaries that reduce conflict and protect children.

  • Finance | Buying Out your Ex After Separation: The Finance Reality

    Finance | Buying Out your Ex After Separation: The Finance Reality
    Jan 14 2026
    Jonathan Kline-Spink, Director at Market Street Finance, unpacks what banks are really looking at when someone is separating and hoping to keep the family home. We talk about the difference between borrowing capacity and affordability, why keeping the family home after separation is often more complex than people expect, and how lenders reassess risk when a joint mortgage becomes a single loan. Jonathan explains how banks consider income, expenses, child support, and property values;why finance approvals fall through, andthe importance of having honest, early conversations before negotiating outcomes. We also cover common issues that arise during separation, including credit files, missed payments during high-stress periods, and a broker's ethical obligation to act in a client's best interests. This episode is for anyone navigating separation or divorce and trying to work out whether buying out an ex and keeping the family home is financially viable.

  • Legal | Who Keeps the House After Separation?

    Legal | Who Keeps the House After Separation?
    Dec 17 2025
    Buying out an ex from the family home after separation can feel overwhelming — financially, legally, and emotionally. In this episode, I'm joined by Christina Salvo, CEO and Founder of Simple Separation, to break down how the process actually works and what needs to happen first. We talk through the real sequence involved in buying out an ex — starting with negotiation and mediation, moving into formal agreements, and then looking at finance and title transfer. Christina explains why affordability and borrowing capacity need to be assessed early, what lenders look at when a joint mortgage becomes a sole loan, and why refinancing after separation is often misunderstood. We also cover what happens when both people want to keep the family home, how mediation helps reality-test options, and when court becomes the only remaining pathway. Christina clarifies common misconceptions around stamp duty and spousal transfers, including when exemptions apply for married and de facto couples. Finally, we talk about why every property settlement should include fallback provisions if finance approval falls through, and how having a safety net in place can protect both parties and reduce unnecessary stress. This episode is for anyone navigating separation, negotiating a property settlement, or trying to work out whether keeping the family home is financially viable. In this episode, we cover: Buying out an ex after separation Property settlements and formal agreements Refinancing vs new loans after separation Borrowing capacity and affordability Mediation and negotiation pathways Stamp duty exemptions and spousal transfers What happens if finance isn't approved Let's Keep the Conversation Going: Visit Divorce and Separation Hub to explore expert resources, courses, and programs tailored to your needs.
