Episode Description We've all heard the advice: \"Be the bigger person.\" But what happens when being the bigger person turns into giving away your financial security, parenting time, or legal leverage? In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce , Andrea and family law attorney Morgan Stogsdill tackle one of the most common—and costly—mistakes people make during divorce: confusing kindness with surrender. They explain why people-pleasers often struggle during negotiations, how manipulative exes exploit \"nice\" personalities, and why your long-term future matters far more than making today's conflict disappear.
