Martha Markaki was a successful divorce lawyer who realized something was wrong: her clients got legal agreements, even court decisions, but they weren’t happy. After years of listening to clients for hours about non-legal struggles—the real pain behind divorce—she discovered she wasn’t doing legal work at all. She was doing something else.
In this episode, Martha shares her transformation from frustrated lawyer to fulfilled divorce coach and family mediator. We explore why divorce is like “climbing Mount Everest in sandals,” the real question facing people after separation (choosing who you WANT to be), and how coaching helps couples navigate conflict before crisis.
Whether you’re a coach, a couple in transition, or someone navigating difficult conversations, this conversation offers powerful insights into transformation during life’s hardest moments.
