Summary
Ep 11. What No One Tells You Before Filing For Divorce (featuring Christopher Anderson) In this grounded conversation, Hannah sits down with one of her closest advisors and longtime family law attorney, Christopher Anderson, a man who has spent decades inside the systems most people only encounter on the worst days of their lives. Christopher has prosecuted domestic violence and sex crimes in the Bronx, represented families in high-conflict divorce, built and run law firms across the country, and lived the long-term consequences of a “bad split” as a child of divorce himself. He’s seen what actually protects children, and what quietly destroys them. Together, Hannah and Christopher talk about why divorce doesn’t have to be chaos, why the system so often rewards conflict, and why leadership — in families, firms, and life — requires more honesty, restraint, and intention than most people are willing to practice. If you’re in the middle of divorce… If you’re exhausted by the process… If you feel like you’re carrying the emotional and strategic weight for everyone else… This episode will help you slow down, zoom out, and remember that clarity is kindness . This is not about winning. It’s about building something that lasts. 00:00 – Not Saving It for Later: Why We’re Done Waiting 02:30 – Who Christopher Anderson Really Is 05:00 – From the Bronx DA’s Office to Family Law 08:30 – Prosecuting Domestic Violence & Crimes Against Children 12:00 – Why Family Law Became Personal 15:30 – Being a Child of Divorce: When “Getting Out” Costs Everything 19:00 – Walking Away From Money to Protect Kids 23:00 – “There Has to Be a Better Way” 27:00 – Why Divorce Turns Chaotic So Fast 31:00 – The Hidden Cost of Conflict on Children 35:00 – Leadership, Power & Responsibility 39:00 – Wh…
