Peaceful Choices, Powerful Outcomes: A Conversation on Divorce, Legacy, and Self-Worth with Shaunis Mercer
Manage episode 483950021 series 3613687
What if the scariest transitions in life—divorce, death, or starting over—could be handled with peace, clarity, and even empowerment? In this episode of Unwritten, I sit down with family law and estate planning attorney Shaunis Mercer, co-founder of Peaceful Law, to explore how women can navigate divorce and life planning without fear-based tactics or emotional burnout.
We talk about:
- Why peaceful legal support matters more than aggressive litigation
- How to make smart, values-driven choices in divorce or separation
- Estate planning as a radical act of self-respect (even if you're single or have "nothing")
- The power of asking honest questions early in relationships
- And how women can reclaim their worth and voice—legally and emotionally
As someone who’s been divorced, reinvented, and rebuilt—both personally and professionally—I bring these insights into the work I do at Steph Shanks Photography, where I help women over 40 see their strength, beauty, and transformation reflected back to them.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by what-ifs or fearful of what’s next, this episode is a roadmap for reclaiming your agency—with compassion and clarity at the center.
