I’m so honored to be joining this incredible panel at Fairfield University’s Dean’s Dialogue: The Relationship Crisis — Connection, Interrupted on September 21.

As a family law attorney and mediator, I spend so much of my professional life with people at some of the most difficult and vulnerable moments in their relationships. I see relationships ending, certainly, but I also see people trying very hard to communicate, to co-parent, to forgive, to compromise, and sometimes to find a different way forward.

It has made me think a great deal about what allows relationships to endure and what happens when our ability to truly communicate, connect, and repair begins to break down.

I’m especially excited for this conversation because we’ll be looking at relationships through such different lenses: law, psychology, therapy, faith, family advocacy, community, and belonging. I have a feeling I’ll learn just as much from my fellow panelists as I’ll contribute.

And as a mom, this conversation feels even more meaningful. How we model relationships, conflict, empathy, forgiveness, and connection ultimately teaches the next generation how to do the same.

Monday, September 21 at 6:00 p.m. at Fairfield University. The event is free and open to the public.

I would absolutely love to see some familiar faces there. ❤️

✈️ We spend weeks planning for a one-week vacation. We compare flights. We research hotels. We make restaurant reservations. We pack, create itineraries, arrange pet sitters, and double-check our passports.

Yet many of us haven't spent an hour planning for the people we love most.
As a family and estate planning attorney, I often meet families who have every detail of their vacation mapped out, but no will, no powers of attorney, no healthcare directives, and no plan for who would care for their children if the unexpected happened.

Estate planning isn't about expecting the worst. It's about giving your family clarity during what could be one of the hardest moments of their lives. Just like travel insurance, we all hope we'll never need it. But if we do, we're grateful it's there.

This summer, while you're planning your next getaway, consider setting aside a little time to plan for your family's future too. Because the greatest gift you can leave your loved ones isn't just your legacy: it's peace of mind.

Have you checked your estate plan lately? If it's been more than a few years, or your family has experienced a marriage, divorce, birth, or loss, it may be time for a review.

If you work in family law, you’ve probably seen how quickly communication between co-parents can break down, and how much that impacts both cases and families.

One tool that’s been making a real difference is the OurFamilyWizard app.

Designed specifically for co-parenting, it creates a structured, court-admissible record of communication, expenses, and scheduling. That alone can reduce conflict, limit misunderstandings, and give attorneys clearer visibility into what’s actually happening between parties.

From a practitioner’s perspective, a few things stand out:
• Messages are time-stamped and can’t be edited or deleted
• The tone meter helps flag potentially inflammatory language before it’s sent
• Shared calendars and expense logs reduce “he said, she said” disputes
• Courts increasingly recognize and even order its use

It’s not a cure-all, and no app can fix underlying conflict, but it can create guardrails that keep communication focused and accountable.

Curious how others are using tools like this in practice. Are you seeing courts recommend or require co-parenting apps more often?

Excited to be a guest on a podcast this morning discussing some of the trends I’m seeing in my practice. As a family law and estate planning attorney, I have a unique vantage point into how people are planning for both the expected and the unexpected. We’re talking about the increasing use of prenuptial agreements, the importance of proactive estate planning (especially for young families), and how more clients are prioritizing clarity and protection over assumptions.

Grateful for the opportunity to share insights and be part of these important conversations. You can listen here: https://player.cloudradionetwork.com/gpn6/
