A Forerunner to the Soft Landing Podcast

This episode stands as a foundational conversation—not only in the Smart Divorce series but also as a conceptual predecessor to what would become the Soft Landing Podcast. It’s more than a discussion—it’s a step toward a smarter, more humane approach to separation and co-parenting.
