Do This For 10 Minutes A Day To Save Your Marriage

Are you struggling in your relationship? Before you consider divorce, this might change everything. In this powerful episode, we explore the simple habit that could save your marriage before it’s too late. Joined by a leading laughter and psychology expert, we dive into why so many couples drift apart and what actually brings them back together. We dive into what really happens inside a relationship over time. Why do couples stop laughing together? What changes in the brain when connection fades? And how do small, everyday behaviours slowly create distance without us even realising? We explore the science behind laughter, including its effect on bonding, trust, and stress, and why it plays such a critical role in keeping relationships strong. The discussion also tackles conflict. When humour can help, when it can harm, and the common mistakes couples make when trying to reconnect. This is a thoughtful, honest and eye-opening conversation about connection, communication, and what it really takes to keep a relationship strong in the real world.

Mediation vs Court: The Negotiation Strategy To Save £100K+ On Your Divorce

In this episode, we’re joined by experienced family mediators to explore the role mediation can play in resolving disputes during divorce and separation. We discuss how mediation works in practice, the types of issues it can help couples resolve, and why many families are encouraged to consider it before turning to the courts. The conversation looks at the financial and emotional cost of litigation, and how disputes can quickly escalate into lengthy and expensive court proceedings. Our guests explain the negotiation strategies mediators use to help couples reach agreements, why maintaining control over decisions can be so important, and how the right approach can potentially save families significant time, stress and legal costs. We also explore the situations where mediation is most effective, when it may not be appropriate, and some of the common misconceptions people have about the process. If you’re navigating separation, considering your options, or simply want to understand how disputes can be resolved outside of court, this episode offers practical insight into a part of the family law system that many people overlook.

How to Co-Parent With a Narcissistic Ex at Christmas

Christmas can be one of the hardest times to co-parent, especially when your ex thrives on control, conflict, or last-minute chaos. As a family lawyer, at this time of year I get asked the same questions every year, around various Christmas disputes separated parents face. From sudden plan changes and silence tactics to withheld handovers, gift battles, excessive FaceTiming, and emotional manipulation through the children. Using real-life examples and years of court experience, this guide explains what the law actually expects at Christmas, how judges view “high-conflict” behaviour, and how to protect your children emotionally while staying calm, child-focused, and legally safe. You’ll learn what to do if your ex refuses contact, won’t confirm plans, uses Christmas as leverage, bad-mouths you to your child, or tries to control the narrative, and why your response matters more than their actions. If you’re dreading Christmas because of a narcissistic or high-conflict ex, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and practical steps to get through the holidays with your dignity intact and your children protected. 🔗 CONNECT WITH ME 📱 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheLegalQueeen 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/thelegalqueen 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@thelegalqueen 🎙 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0CKHk64lHzoJUz87tmiAMj?si=d3dbc70b3be943f1 🌍︎ Moloney Family Law Website: https://moloneyfamilylaw.com If you would like to talk to a member of our team about a 1 hour consultation to discuss your situation!
