Gabrielle Hartley is a nationally-recognized divorce attorney, online mediator and divorce strategy coach with a strong focus on conflict resolution. She is the author of Better Apart: The Radically Positive Way to Separate and she joins us today to share how she brings mindfulness to the divorce process.

No, Gabrielle doesn't lead her clients through a yoga practice in the mediation process. But she does lead us through some specific exercises focusing on breathing and returning to our bodies in a way that can help remain positive and attentive under stress. Her approach is to help her clients to remember that patience, respect, clarity, and peace are all part of an everyday practice, integrating new behaviors in our lives to help us accomplish our greatest challenges.
