The Debbie Nigro Show

As heard on The Debbie Nigro Show Sometimes it really helps to just talk to other caring people about whatever you’re going through. Now there’s a place where you can. I had a talk with Scott Kelsey, the incredibly resilient Founder & CEO of Shareapy—about his groundbreaking wellness platform born from personal tragedy and built to foster connection, healing, and personal growth. After a life-altering fall down a staircase left him with a traumatic brain injury, Scott found himself forced to hit pause—and reflect. "I had to isolate, be in a dark room, and let my brain...

As heard on The Debbie Nigro Show There's a hot new real estate migration trend picking up steam among Northeasterners and former Floridians: they’re becoming “Halfbacks”—people who moved to Florida, found it a little too much (too hot, too humid, too everything), and are now settling halfway back up the East Coast. Their happy medium? Coastal North Carolina. On The Debbie Nigro Show, I got the inside scoop from Jason Faulkner, General Manager of Kingfish Bay Development in Calabash, NC—one of the fastest-growing destinations for these lifestyle-minded movers that's just minutes...

What NOT to Do on Social Media During a Divorce – Straight Talk with Jill Spielberg

Valentine’s Week is all about love, but let’s be real, love doesn’t always go as planned. And when it doesn’t, social media can make things way worse (like Exhibit A in court worse). 

That’s why I brought in Jill Spielberg, partner in charge of the Family and Matrimonial Law Department at Abrams-Fensterman LLP, to drop some major truth bombs about social media and divorce—what not to do, what could cost you in court, and even how to protect your kids.

Biggest Takeaway? STOP POSTING!

According to Jill, the best thing you can do during a divorce is take a social media hiatus. That vacation selfie? That vent session about your soon-to-be-ex? That new relationship post? All of it can be used against you. Even “friends” might not be real friends when emotions run high.

A few ways social media can totally backfire:

*Posting about your amazing new life while claiming you can’t afford child support
*Sharing party pics that could be used in a custody battle
*Saying anything negative about your ex—your kids might see it, too!

The Flip Side: Can Social Media Help During a Divorce?

Not really, says Jill. But if you must post, make it positive—like supporting your co-parent’s achievements. Otherwise, keep the drama offline.

Why Divorce Hits Hard During Valentine’s Week

January is known as Divorce Month, but February can be brutal too. While stores are overflowing with hearts and candy, many people are struggling through heartbreak. If that’s you, know this: You are not alone.

 ill’s pro tip for avoiding divorce in the first place? APPRECIATION.

The #1 reason couples split isn’t money or infidelity—it’s feeling unappreciated. Let that sink in.

A Personal Story of Divorce 

Years ago, my daughter, an only child of divorce, always swore someday she'd have her own house and host every single holiday so she’d never have to “choose” between parents on a holiday again. 

Well, fast forward, and guess what? My ex-husband, his current wife, his former wife after me, her current husband, myself and my significant other, all these years later actually granted my daughter her wish. Here we are all sitting together at one big happy holiday table this year. Now that’s growth!

If you’re navigating divorce (or know someone who is), this episode is a must-listen.

Enjoy this full conversation with Jill Spielberg. She’s an award-winning attorney who focuses on high-net-worth divorces, high-conflict custody cases, and prenuptial agreements.
