The Akiona Law Podcast: Featuring Beth Hirnle

In this episode of the Akiona Law Podcast, Ululani “Lani“ Akiona, speaks with Emotion-Focused Trained Counselor and Collaborative Divorce Coach, Beth Hirnle. Beth is a board member of King County Collaborative Law (KCCL), and a member of Collaborative Professionals of WA (CPW), International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), and Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC).   Beth and Lani dive into the transformative role of a collaborative divorce coach. Beth explains how collaborative divorce coaches manage the emotional dynamics and communications between couples. When children are involved, a collaborative divorce coach supports the transition from spouses to co-parents. She describes how coaches work alongside legal and financial professionals to create comprehensive divorce solutions that focus on the parties' long-term well-being. Beth emphasizes collaborative divorce coaches are not therapists. Instead, a collaborative divorce coach provides tools and strategies for effective communication during the divorce process, helping couples make informed decisions while maintaining respect and dignity. Lani’s conversation with Beth highlights how divorce coaches add value by making the process more efficient and cost-effective, while also providing support to the parties through individual meetings separate from the main collaborative team sessions.  Website: https://www.bethhirnlecoaching.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXdLOUVsXzQyTjZPVl93QWhMVDNhbkJER3VzUXxBQ3Jtc0tuYmUxZU5Sb2FHbnBCeXB4cE94NEl6WVkzQ25Ob29wV1FoenBkMDNmWS1ZYjQ0UGxfRjBYV0ppdlR5RmptbmwtRFRPRGZPdDliTW9RRXlzM2FZSXJkT0xIN1BsTmVFTnRkYm1BVmFYZTV2MWZTSGtkVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bethhirnlecoaching.com%2F&v=OsRjDpdd8-0]
