Podcast: Episode #017 – Innovators, Creators and Builders Series with Kim Korven: Divorcing The Gentle Way

Published: July 16, 2021, 2:24 a.m.


In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Kim Korven.







Kim Korven is an unlikely advocate of peaceful divorce. She was competitive in judo and for many years, a practicing attorney. One would expect she would enjoy conflict. Yet when her marriage was not working, she was nearly overcome with anxiety and a desire to avoid conflict with her spouse altogether. Thus, she remained married when she knew in her heart her family would be better if they separated. Traditional divorce terrified her. She knew all too well what it looked like through an attorney’s eyes. So, she set out to change the traditional narrative of dramatic, painful divorce and did so peacefully discovering that divorce can be transformative and restorative for all involved.



She learned it starts with how you raise divorce with your spouse. Kim is no longer a practicing attorney and dedicates herself to working with families as a mediator or consultant to help them achieve similar results. Kim lives in Regina, Canada with her children, second husband, retired rescue greyhounds, and several rescue cats. Most recently, she and her former spouse have begun co-parenting a cat. 







A few of the questions I asked Kim:



Q: What’s The Gentle Way of Divorce?



Q: What’s the story behind starting The Gentle Way Divorce?



Q: Can you share how to tell a spouse you want a divorce using The Gentle Way Divorce?



Q: How do you know that it’s time to consider a divorce.



Q: On your website, you share that with The Gentle Way Divorce; you get to Sleep Better, Smile More, Feel Confident and Alive can you share more about that?



Q: Have you worked with anyone who considered divorce and ended up staying married?

Why Innovators, Creators and Builders? Why the Innovators series? Well, I just know that I can do a little bit better when I have a cheat-sheet on how to do a thing.
