WOS Episode #3 Creating A Peaceful Divorce - Kim Korven

Woman of Strength Podcast

Kim Korven is a Canadian mother, spouse, lawyer, mediator, and adult educator. As a teenager, she competed nationally in judo, coached at the local judo club, and was active in her family’s farming operation. Doing so, she learned how to be mindful of her surroundings, how to recognise hard truths, and how to make decisions. She also developed a thirst to see the world, and experienced life in Indonesia, the Windward Islands, Mexico, and rural China before finishing law school. Kim waited until she was in her 30s to marry, and thought she was marrying for life. However, she discovered that she and her first husband were not well suited. She recognised they would be happier apart, but he wanted to stay married. It easily could have turned ugly, because her husband wanted to stay married. Kim used the principles from judo – “mutual welfare and benefit” and “maximum efficiency with minimum effort” and her knowledge of the legal system to create a peaceful divorce. It was still painful, but there was no trauma from fighting in court. Now their children transition easily between homes and have great relationships with each of their parents. They are confident and happy. Kim and her former spouse get along better now than when they were married; the tension and stress are gone. They live joyful and abundant lives! People, who know each of them have always asked Kim, “How did you do it?” Kim recognised that many people want to end their relationships peacefully, but don’t know where to start, or how to make peace a reality. Thus, she has started a practice – Full Circle Divorce & Separation Training Group – in which she helps couples create peaceful solutions for their families so that they can move forward and live lives of joy and abundance.
