I am AJ Jakubowska - family law lawyer and mediator. I am also human - I understand what can happen when relationships end. Lots of uncertainty, many different emotions, lots of questions. Sometimes it can feel virtually impossible to stay sane. Pressure. Concern. Cost.

This podcast features my comments on various topics related to separation, and my interviews with other humans who help when relationships end – people who look after legal issues, who mediate, who look after hearts and minds, as well as finances. People who could help you plan your future. What you will hear is NOT legal advice. These are dialogues primarily about the human aspect of separation. We try to stay away from legal lingo. It’s humans talking to humans.

I hope that something you hear will help you navigate your way to a sane split.

NEW EPISODES EVERY TWO WEEKS

My Guest is Katharine Rajczak - We talk about Communicating when Relationships End

This week's episode features my dialogue with Katharine Rajczak - family law lawyer and mediator, coach, teacher and so much more…

Katharine and I cover a whole range of subjects related to communication, including some you may not have thought about - like the importance of breathing, like learning from conflict, and like musing why written communication in the context of separation can be so challenging.

As usual, at the end of the episode, we spend some time on one of my favourite subjects, food - and I ask Katharine three questions about it.
