Separation & Divorce
Podcasts have become an ingrained part of our modern lives. They’re a great way to gather information and entertainment while we’re on the go.
Whether you’re driving to pick up the kids, out for your daily run, or commuting to and from work, they’re a great way to pass the time and learn at the same time.
Our Perth divorce mediation specialist, Ian Shann, has put together a list of 5 divorce podcasts to help you get through your divorce.
Started in 2017 by single mum Lucy Good, the Beanstalk Podcast addresses all sorts of topics relating to single mum life. Her website Beanstalk Mums is a lifeline for many single mums across Australia and the podcast helps her reach more women in Australia.
Episodes include ‘Co-parenting with a passive aggressive ex’, ‘Changing your will: everything you need to know’, and ‘How to deal with difficult behaviour from children of divorce’.

Mediation
What happens after family mediation depends entirely on whether you reach agreements on all, some, or none of the issues you are seeking to resolve.
The process was so much quicker and easier than I anticipated – after everything I have heard about lawyers! And it was re-assuring for me to know how much it was going to cost at the start, not when it was all over. Thanks, Ian. I’d recommend you to anyone who wants a solution seeker and quick results.

Ian, your patience and persistence really helped us get to an agreement I thought we could never reach. I’d recommend you to anyone who wants to get family issues resolved as painlessly as possible.
— Michael G, Safety Bay WA
Thank you once more for your kindness, wisdom and counsel.
— Georgie N, Wangara WA
Ian worked hard to enable us to reach an agreement. He was always happy to discuss and explain everything we needed.
