020 | "Our Happy Divorce" Series pt.2 with Ben Heldfond

We are loving this deep and insightful conversation we had on this episode with Ben Heldfond. Ben and his ex-wife have cultivated the type of post-divorce family that many people do not believe to be possible. After chatting with Nikki last week, we couldn’t wait to talk with Ben. Although it hasn’t been easy, Ben shares vulnerably about how he was able to take an honest look at himself, become the man he aspired to be, and join together with Nikki to do the work it takes to put their son first always.

Ben Heldfond understands the detriment divorce can cause in the lives of children, as his parents’ divorce instilled a deep commitment to do better for his children one day. As Co-Founder of Our Happy Divorce, a service that offers guidance on creating a post-divorce happy, modern family and Author of "Our Happy Divorce - How Ending Our Marriage Brought Us Together,” Heldfond has made it his mission to help families during the turmoil divorce can become.

In this episode we discussed:

• How Ben was able to pivot from anger and conflict to peace and cohesiveness during the divorce process.
• The importance of cleaning up the wreckage of past relationships.
• What growing up amidst a high conflict divorce felt like for him.
• Inspiring men to have the courage to be vulnerable.
• What it really means to put children first in a divorce.
• Singleness of purpose.
