The Solution Focused Relationship
Posted by: | Comments
On this episode of Single Again! Now What?, Elliott Connie, author of The Solution Focused Marriage joins us.
Perhaps you’ve been through a divorce or a relationship breakup and are looking for a way to have better relationships in the future. You’ve found the right show as Elliott shares 5 simple habits designed to bring out the best in your future relationships.
If you’re like most of us, hearing the following four words from your partner is akin to getting punched in the stomach: “We need to talk.” That’s because we’re conditioned to expect conversations to be about problems rather than solutions.
Amazingly, it only takes a few simple behavioral shifts to flip problem-focused talk into its counterpart: solution-focused communication.
Topics in the program include:
- Setting a goal for your new relationship
- Recalling the “honeymoon” phase of your relationship
- How to communicate the positive progress you’ve made with your partner
- The importance of dating your mate
- Functioning as a partnership
- And much more.

Hope After Divorce
Posted by: | CommentsDivorce is never easy, and most of us aren’t prepared to handle all that comes along with it.
How will you deal with being alone after years of marriage? What do you tell your children and how can you be a role model to them during this very tough time? How can you make ends meet with half the money you used to have? And how will you pick up the pieces and move on to a new life with healthier relationships? These are just a few of the questions one faces when going through divorce.
On this episode of Single Again! Now What? Joanie Winberg and Steve Peck introduce you to a new website designed to help you survive your divorce. It’s the Divorce Support Center at: www.HopeAfterDivorce.org.
Co founders Lisa LaBelle and Amy Osmond Cook join us to introduce their new website, and most importantly, offer hope.
If you’re thinking the name Osmond sounds familiar and wondering if Amy is any relation to the famous Donny and Marie Osmond you’re spot on. Amy Osmond Cook is their niece, and like Lisa, Amy has experienced divorce first-hand.
This is a program that’s both fun and informative and a must listen for anyone who has been there, doing, or done that.

Can A Relationship Be Saved After An Affair?
Posted by: | CommentsOn this episode of Single Again! Now What? Joanie Winberg and Steve Peck tackle the tough topic of affairs.
Have you ever been cheated on? Perhaps you were the one that cheated. The question is, why do lovers stray and if they do so, is it possible to save your relationship?
David Feder
Our program is titled “Can A Relationship Be Saved After An Affair” and our guest is a therapist whose practice deals exclusively with couples who have experienced an infidelity. David Feder is based out of Toronto and he helps clients all over the world heal after an affair.
Not everyone will want to stay together after an affair but David has created a program called VISION that helps people make a choice that is right for them. Although not all couples are able to stay together after infidelity, David has helped many work through an affair, stay together and experience a loving relationship.
David helps couples grieve the loss of their “old” relationship, rebuild the trust that was lost and assists couples in building a new relationship. The risk of a future betrayal is reduced because an emphasis is placed on rebuilding trust and increasing self-esteem by finding the lost self that is so often a result of an affair.

Co-Parenting A Pet after Divorce
Posted by: | CommentsOn this episode of Single Again! Now What? Joanie and Steve feature attorney and author David Pisarra to discuss Co-Parenting a Pet.
Using his own life story as a backdrop, David T. Pisarra, shares his experience of sharing a dog in What About Wally? and how it helped bring closure and healed the hurt of a broken heart.
Breaking up is difficult, and when you share a dog, (or cat for that matter), with another person, how your ex treats the dog is a major concern. Our dogs become like our children, and we want “the ex” to treat them with the same love, respect and care that we do.
Combining the life experiences of a divorce lawyer and a pet expert, David teaches the vital principles of co-parenting, mutual respect and the value of a clear parenting plan.
Other topics include:
- Joanie’s Cancer Retreat
- Parental Alination
- Personal Protection & Restraining Orders
- How Divorce Ramps Up Anger
