Episode Details

In this final episode of Divorce 101 A to Z from the Divorce Happens podcast, Olivia Howell explores zero-sum thinking, a mindset that frames divorce as a win-lose battle instead of a restructuring of life and family systems. Brought to you by the letter Z and the number 0, this episode explains why divorce does not need a scoreboard — and how releasing zero-sum beliefs can reduce conflict, guilt, and emotional exhaustion.

Listeners learn how zero-sum thinking shows up in negotiations, parenting decisions, and financial discussions, and how shifting away from this mindset supports healthier outcomes for adults and children alike. Olivia also offers a grounding reflection to help listeners identify and release one belief that keeps them stuck in a win-lose framework.

This episode is ideal for anyone navigating divorce, co-parenting, mediation, or emotional healing after separation.
