The Five Secrets
1. Start With Yourself
A successful separation begins with clarity. Charmaine provides insightful self-reflective questions to help you discover
what a successful separation would truly look like for you and your family.
2. Choose Your Team
Separation is hard — but you’re strong, and you are not alone. Charmaine walks through key considerations when planning
the legal, emotional, and practical supports you will need to move forward with confidence.
3. Identify Your Priorities
The separation process involves decisions about important elements of your life. Charmaine emphasizes the importance
of identifying your priorities and explains why it is crucial to consider an interest-based process to ensure you are
making the best decisions possible.
4. Seek to Understand
Charmaine emphasizes that the best outcome in a separation is one where both parties have their needs met.
That doesn’t mean agreeing to everything — if you did, you probably wouldn’t be separating in the first place.
“Approach your negotiations with a willingness to hear what is important to your spouse, and speak openly about what is important to you.”
5. Believe
Believe you can do this well. Believe your story can be different from what you fear.
It is possible to have better endings and stronger beginnings.
