EP 50: When Mediation Meets Meaning: Co-Creating a Kinder Divorce

In this powerful and timely episode of Getting to the Heart, Michèle Heffron welcomes Ellen Barron Feldman, an attorney and seasoned divorce and family mediator, for a candid conversation about navigating divorce with compassion, clarity, and control.

Ellen shares her unique journey from commercial litigation to co-mediating with mental health expert Brian James, a partnership that bridges legal structure with emotional understanding. Together, they create a safe, collaborative space for couples to move through divorce thoughtfully—especially when children are involved.

Michèle and Ellen dive into what makes mediation such a transformative alternative to litigation, including how it empowers individuals to speak up, establish healthier boundaries, and take ownership of their futures—even in high-conflict or emotionally charged situations.

With warmth and wisdom, the two explore the nuances of co-parenting, emotional safety, and how small shifts in communication can open the door to big breakthroughs. The episode also highlights the importance of self-care, community, and knowing when to reach for support.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure of what’s next, or just ready for a more peaceful approach to uncoupling, this conversation is a must-listen.

You won't want to miss this!
