Welcome to a standout achievement episode in the history of divorce education broadcasting—a compelling conversation that predates and paves the way for what would later evolve into the Soft Landing Podcast. In this special edition of The Smart Divorce on Divorce Source Radio, host Deborah Moskovitch, renowned divorce consultant and author, joins forces with co-host Steve Peck to deliver an eye-opening episode that challenges how we think about divorce.

Titled “How Your Brain Can Make Divorce Smarter,” this interview features one of Canada’s leading family law lawyers, Natalie Boutet of Basman Smith LLP. Natalie, also the founder of the Neuro Family Law Institute, explores the transformative role of brain science in family law. With clarity and empathy, she explains how cognitive patterns, emotional triggers, and neuroplasticity shape the way separating partners and legal professionals interact.

This episode marks a turning point: one that elevates the discourse around separation, advocating for interest-based negotiation, client-centered legal practice, and trauma-informed decision-making. If you're searching for smarter, more human ways to divorce—this is the episode that began the movement.

Whether you're a divorcing parent, a family law professional, or someone passionate about brain-based solutions, you're in the right place. Welcome to the beginning of something softer.
