I listened to a podcast yesterday that challenged business owners to define their mission, then keep a Google doc tallying all the instances where they deliver on that brand mission promise.

I'm going to do that, make the Google doc public, and shared for accountability.

For now, here's the basics about our practice.

Going through a divorce or family conflict?

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to go to war to get through it. At Flannel People Mediation, we help people calm the chaos, talk things through, and reach fair agreements that actually work in real life.

Most of our work is divorce and post-decree mediation — helping couples navigate property division, parenting plans, support, and those tough post-divorce adjustments — but we also mediate family, business, and end-of-life conflicts.

We work 100% virtually via Zoom, so you can join from anywhere in the country — no courtrooms, no travel, no stress.

✅ Top-Rated on Google – clients consistently highlight our fairness, calm energy, and compassion.
✅ Free 15-Minute Consultation – talk through your situation before committing to anything.
✅ Neutral, grounded, real – we’re not judges or lawyers here to tell you what to do. We’re here to help you talk, listen, and find your way forward.
✅ Cost-effective and private – mediation is typically a fraction of the cost (and time) of traditional legal battles.

We get it — this is personal, emotional, and maybe overwhelming. That’s why we do things differently: down-to-earth conversations that bring clarity, not conflict.

Myth: "Mediation only works for simple divorces." 🚫

Truth: We successfully mediate complex cases including:

-High-asset divorces
-Business ownership divisions
-Retirement account splits
-Cases with multiple properties
-Complex custody schedules

The question isn't how complicated your divorce is.

The question is: Are both people willing to negotiate in good faith?

If the answer is yes, mediation can work - regardless of complexity.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a battle.

But right now, it probably feels like one.

💔 The stress.

The uncertainty.

The gut-punch of realizing this is really happening.

You didn’t plan for this. No one does. And now you’re asking:
❓ How do we split everything fairly?
❓ Will this drag on for years?
❓ What about the kids?

Most couples enter divorce without a plan. They get caught up in the system, spend 💰 thousands on legal fees, and walk away more broken than when they started.

But here’s what they don’t tell you: divorce doesn’t have to ruin you.

At Flannel People Mediation, we guide you through these conversations—step by step—so you can move forward with less stress, more clarity, and a fair resolution that actually works.

💻 Here’s how it works:

📅 Step 1: Book a free consultation. We’ll talk through your situation and see if mediation is the right fit.

🤝 Step 2: We help you work through the tough decisions—finances, parenting, and property—without court battles or endless legal fees.

✍️ Step 3: You reach a full and final agreement that works for both of you, so you can move forward with confidence.

💡 Divorce is hard. Mediation makes it easier.

You’re exhausted.

The same fights. The same cold silence. The same feeling of being stuck in a relationship you don’t recognize anymore.

Maybe you’ve even said it:

💬 “I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”
💬 “I love you, but I don’t like you right now.”
💬 “Maybe we’re just too different.”

Maybe one of you is one foot out the door—checking apartment listings, imagining what life would be like without the other. Maybe you’re both desperate for something to change.

And maybe you think you’ve tried everything.

But here’s the truth: Most couples wait an average of SIX YEARS too long to get help.

That means six years of resentment, miscommunication, and emotional distance—when things could have been different.

🚨 Here’s what the research says:

❌ 86% of couples who turn toward each other during conflict stay together. (Gottman Institute)
❌ 69% of conflicts never get fully resolved—they keep repeating. (Sound familiar?)
❌ Contempt—not fighting—is the #1 predictor of divorce. (Gottman Institute)
❌ 85% of the time, the withdrawing partner determines if the relationship fails. (Gottman Research)

This is why we created the Last-Ditch Couples Conflict Workshop.

Because if there’s even a chance—a tiny part of you that still wants to fight for this—you deserve to give it one real shot.

Here’s how it works:

❤️ Step 1: Join us for a high-impact, 4-hour virtual workshop. It’s private—just you, your partner, and an expert guiding you through the toughest conversations.

🛠️ Step 2: Learn exactly what’s been breaking down and how to stop repeating the same destructive cycles.

🎯 Step 3: Practice data-backed communication techniques (straight from Gottman & Internal Family Systems) that actually WORK.

This isn’t therapy. It’s an emergency intervention for your relationship.

Because if there’s still something worth saving, this is the moment to save it.

One last shot. One powerful workshop. One decision.
