Ep 174: Don’t Let Family Court Break You
Family court can feel like it’s designed to wear you down. The long waits, the unpredictability, the endless back-and-forth with your ex — it can seem impossible to get through without breaking.
But what if you didn’t have to let court define you?
In this episode, Sybil shares how survivors can walk through family court with steadiness and strength. Instead of waiting for one big “final win,” you’ll learn how to find momentum in small victories, focus your energy where it counts, and adopt key mindset shifts that protect your well-being along the way.
You’ll hear about:
- Small wins that matter — how to recognize progress in the middle of a long battle.
- Control vs. no control — a practical way to separate what deserves your energy from what doesn’t.
- Mindset shifts that sustain you, including:
- Court is a chapter, not your whole story.
- Your strength is not defined by the outcome.
- Preparation is power.
- The courtroom doesn’t define your parenting.
- Endurance over perfection.
- Anchoring in values when the process feels chaotic.
Court is difficult — but with these strategies, it doesn’t have to break you.
