     As a divorce coach, I am a broker. I'm like a quarterback of this entire transition. And then you have divorce attorney who works with you on the legal side of matters. You highly likely may need to have a therapist to help you just deal with issues. Because if you deal with high conflict divorce, there is much more to unpack.

    That's Ksenia Mench. I'm Kara Duffy, and this is the Powerful Ladies Podcast. Welcome to the Powerful Ladies Podcast.

    Thank you so much, Kara. So good to be here.

    I'm excited to talk to you today. You have such an interesting business. You have such a unique story. Let's start by telling everyone your name, where you are in the world and what you're up to.

    Well, my name is Ksenia Minch and I am in Newport Beach, California, Orange County. And yeah, I immigrated here 20 years ago and enjoying the weather and palm trees. And you have just launched a new business. I have. Yeah. What is this business? The business is called Thrive Again Divorce Coaching. So based on the name, it is coaching people through the different journeys and steps of their divorce.

    Now we can take a probably radical leap and assume you've gone through this, which is what makes you such a great coach. As much as you're willing to share, how hard and challenging was your divorce and what made you think, I need to help other people through this.

    The best way to describe my divorce, it was if you believe in hell and earth, that was one of those. That's how I would describe mine. It was very unpredictable. I did not think it's going to go that way, but Out of every bad experience, I think we can get something positive and turn pain into a success story. And based on my divorce, I got inspired to help other people because I don't want anybody to ever feel the same way I felt when I was going through that.

    Well, and a lot of people have heard of divorce lawyers, but I don't think people realize how much divorce impacts every single part of your life. It impacts your finances. It impacts your holidays. It impacts your kids. It impacts those school relationships. It impacts whether you can start a business or not.

    I have a client who called me who's going through a divorce and she can't start her business yet because all the assets are still co owned. So she can't even get the money released to start her business yet. There's also health and wellness components and mental health. There's so much that goes into it.

    So people know to call the divorce lawyer, but why should they call a divorce coach?

    Divorce lawyer is not enough. That's what I learned. I called my divorce attorney for every question, whether it was therapy question, whether it was a venting question, whether it was Just I needed to talk to somebody and to be heard. What I didn't realize the divorce coaches existed And the divorce coaches are the ones who can help you reground yourself find, balance again in a very Just Challenging time of your life and you have a person to talk to Who usually usually divorce coaches are people who walk that walk so we know how it feels We we've been in your shoes.

    We understand your pain and when you talk to a person like that You feel much more seen and you feel like you know the path forward because we can help you strategize how to get to the other side faster and with the least amount of damage done, not only to your psyche, emotional wellbeing, to your kids, to your finances, everything, like you said, it encompasses every single aspect of your life.

    Even the ones we don't think about an everyday basis, like mental health. All of a sudden, you know, you cannot function. Getting out of bed becomes a struggle. And talking to somebody who knows that struggle, who tells you, Hey, it's okay, if you get out of bed, just make your bed today, that's okay. Be kind to yourself tomorrow.

    You're going to kick ass. It's it's that divorce attorneys don't speak to you this way. They're very numb. Very frequently. They haven't been divorced. Very frequently they are very numb to the pain we go through and it's not an emergency. They've seen it so many times they, they don't think it's an emergency, so they take forever to respond.

    And in the meantime, you just keep going down the rabbit hole and you get freaked out. So we, as divorce coaches, we available, we, we talk to you and we help you get through whatever challenge is on your way before you talk to a divorce attorney about some strategies, how to finalize it.

    Another thing that you and I have talked about is how, when you start that process, there's so much that you don't know you're going to have to make copies of, find documents for, get prepared, and There's so much support that you give your clients in regards to here's the checklist of things to think about.

    Let's run through this. Do you have a plan for these things? Like, you know how to help people prepare, but also pace themselves so they're not gonna get more overwhelmed than they already are. Because it is a full time job getting a divorce.

    Sometimes I even consider myself. I'm like a divorce broker. I just put you in touch with people that you really need to bring into your life while going through this, you need a divorce team.

    So as a divorce coach, I am a broker. I'm like a quarterback of this entire. Transition. And then you have divorce attorney who works with you on the legal side of matters. You highly likely may need to have a therapist to help you just deal with issues. Because if you deal with high conflict divorce, there is much more to unpack.

    Then you need a CPA. Then you need a financial planner to just kind of get you back on your feet. If you have kids, you may need a nanny because some days you can't function and you still have to work. You, you have to have. Best friends some of them. Hey, let's go take a fucking shot. We're doing that today Some you call because you need to cry like you have to have such a full team But again, I consider myself as as a broker as a quarterback.

    I will get you in the right direction While you're still keeping grounded and not Chasing your own tail like like a dog.

    Yeah. And you're focusing on the, you know, higher net worth, higher conflict divorces because they tend to be the longest, most cumbersome, like they have the most elements involved. Sure. There's some people who both people agree. They signed the paper. They're done. It's no big deal. But that's where people think a divorce is going to be, but it rarely goes that way.

    That's correct. It's usually it becomes It becomes nasty very quickly, especially when hurt emotions, hurt egos involved, and then assets, and it just becomes a power play, and unfortunately the legal system is used to, to play that game, and the legal system doesn't always see it that way.

    So it just goes, it can go for years, years, and not because some people want it, but because there are two parties involved and if one party is not letting go, you're going to go through that game and you're going to be in it for a very, very long time. And the more assets are involved, of course, the nastier it gets.

    There's also so much support people need even after the divorce is finalized.

    Yes, because unfortunately it's not. Always the end. That's what I learned the hard way. I was so happy. I was celebrating my divorce was over. And then six months later, things. Third picking back up on again. And again, some, sometimes it can be over, but when you go through that transition and you are truly beat up, like you do need support afterwards.

    You need to, you question your decisions, your questioning decisions. Like, did I do the right thing? Thinking about, you know, living the family did I, do I know how to move forward because when you're in divorce, all you're thinking about the steps, how to finalize it. Once you're on the other side, now you're trying to figure out how to stand on your own two feet.

    And if you have kids, what's next? How do I support kids? How do I co parent if there is such a thing in high conflict divorces, co parenting is not even an option. What I learned parallel parenting is the best you can do. Counter parenting is. Frequently what you have to deal with at the beginning and just knowing and figuring out how to move forward now that the legal matters are behind is also very challenging and take some some getting used to.

    There's, yeah, I think that we don't want to scare people into staying into in relationships they don't belong in. But it is important to know that once you choose, you're done. There's, it's a whole journey and having just like anything else you care about in life, having a coach to help you clarify what you want, to help you make choices, to know what you're going to deal with to solve it when you're in those moments.

    It changes everything. Like, if you had had yourself when you were going through it, like, you would, would you be a different person now? Would it have been, like, what, how do you think would have been different for you if you had someone like you?

    I think there would be less emotional turmoil. Because I was going through that alone.

    So I had to figure out a lot of things, how to deal with on my own. I think it, I would have more money in my pocket for sure. Because again, all the questions were addressed to an attorney and they hourly rate there is I learned very quickly, it's it's expensive and it adds up very quickly. But also knowing that there is a person out there who it's, I, who knows that the final destination, I always think it's like a treasure map.

    I know where their access, I know how to get there. So why are you guessing the path when there are people who already walked that walk? So if I work with somebody like me, I think I would have gotten there faster. I think it would have been less painful. And I just overall, I think the outcome would have been.

    Financial outcome would have been better for sure. And I would probably include some things on my stipulation that I haven't included because I didn't know about it. I learned about it later. So again, if you have a person who understands that world and can give me points to think about what I want for my outcome, that is extremely beneficial.

    It's almost like you have, it's almost like cheating on the exam. You have an answer. It's like working with you as a business coach. You know how to make us successful. You know how to make business powerful, ladies successful, because you walk that walk, you, you know, the tricks, you know, you have a lot of bunnies in your head that you can pull, right?

    So the same, the same for divorce coaches. We know those tricks. We're not attorneys. We're not legal advice, but we understand enough of that world to, to make your life better.

    If we go back to eight year old you. Would she have imagined that this is your life today?

    No, not at all. I mean, going from Russia and being a concert pianist and adding, ending up being a divorce coach in Newport Beach, California, that's quite a stretch.

    So what was that journey from concert pianist in Russia to Newport Beach?

    It was rocky. It was a, it was a ride that I definitely, if I haven't if I had known I should have buckled up, I wasn't, and I didn't wear any helmet. So it, I took some beating on the way, but it was I think without every step that I've accomplished, starting with being concert pianist, and I was a teacher, like musical teacher in Russia, understanding, Hey, that's not for me, but it gave me.

    An incredible brain that can operate and tolerate way more than I think average person can just because you're always under so much pressure and stress when you're on stage performing, whatever the case is, then after that, I went into linguistics which is being an interpreter because I always wanted to work for United Nations and just that was my dream.

    So I learned English, I started doing that, I started working as an interpreter, and I quickly realized that I don't like being the tool, because I literally became an interpreting tool, and I said no thank you, I have too much to say, so, I love that. And I immigrated to the States and in the States, I get the business degree at it's almost like a building blocks.

    Then from having the business degree, I ended up in insurance and I've done that for over a decade. But that's where I have my association as a broker. I learned the sales skills. I learned how to. Find the solutions for people. I learned how to help them and I'm very passionate about helping and putting people in touch with necessary resources.

    And then it's almost like a natural transition into a place where I'm truly passionate about to, to make an impact, a significant impact on, on people's lives and their wellbeing. Did you go?

    No, I love it. I love it. Did you go from Russia directly to California?

    No, I had a pit stop in Virginia for two years and it's it's a funny story. I started working for a defense company. So I I used to be called like an arms dealer, so it worked really well for me because I was negotiating different arms contracts with multiple countries and it was a short stand. Because we moved to California, but I loved it. It was very fitting.

    It feels very fitting. Like if, if there are a handful of people in my life who I'm like, Ooh, they'd be a great bond girl. And I'm, and you were on that list. Cause like you are smart and you're clever and you know how to like manage a room and get things done. And you're also super hot. So it's like, okay, we're checking all the things.

    Like, what do we want to do? How are we taking over the world? This is the team. So. No, it's like, it's just a tool that you have right of dazzling and knowing how to put everyone in the room like at ease, but you always feel powerful like you're not someone like I'm surprised that your husband's ex husband thought he could mess with you because I'm like, Oh, no, no, you do not mess with her.

    She will win every time she will crush you. Like, what are you doing?

    I think being in the relationship that I was been in, it it humbled me quite a bit. And I was very I was quieter when I was at home because of the kids. So dynamic had to be very, very Mellow in that regard. However, I know I did surprise my ex husband by walking out because I didn't think he ever anticipated I would be capable of doing that because I am here.

    I, I'm a first name Generation immigrant, which means my family is still over in Russia. I truly have nobody. So like when I walked out, it was, where do I move? I was financially dependent on my ex husband. So it definitely took a lot out of me, but I knew that was the right decision. And I know that that was the blind side.

    My ex husband didn't see, even though he knew things were not good. So I think he finally realized I'm the person not to be messed with.

    As a, as a, an immigrant coming from Russia to the U. S., what do you think you see and notice that Americans are completely oblivious to?

    I think Americans are very trusting and they, I think it comes from the life that is created here. I think Also the country country's changing like the, you know, the government's changing. So people, I feel need to be a little more alert that government doesn't always have the best interest.

    in mind for, for everybody else. Like you have to start thinking for yourself. And I think a lot of times here in America, people, and I know we have a democracy and this is, I'm like, you, you don't have a freedom of speech. You actually very, very limited on what you can say, but it's a perceived freedom of speech.

    So to me, it's, it's all been very funny to watch people when There is almost like such a disconnect between what I'm seeing and what reality is and what people are perceiving and how it's almost like happy Blissfully unaware type of life.

    That was, that was for me, the, the big the big thing and take away when I, when I moved here.

    But again, I'm coming from the environment where everybody's super suspicious. I mean, you have a big brother. So I come from a different extreme, so I'm trying to find somewhere middle ground, but my habits die hard, just like people here, like their habits of being, and I even trusting die hard. But that was yeah.

    That was definitely a very interesting observation when I moved.

    Well, and there was a great book I read, the name of which I'm blanking on right now. It might've been Vanishing Nations, but it was going through all of Europe and how so many nations and kingdoms and governments have come and gone and evolved.

    And like the U. S. is a baby from a time perspective. And the idea that, It'll just stay the way it's been and that people in power will honor that is such an illusion. I can only like the, the amounts, how, if we, if we just look at the history of Russia and how much it's changed between generations, it's crazy.

    Yes. Everything is cyclical. And I feel that United States is going through a sick cycle right now when we are losing power, we're losing the way we're seen in the world arena. And it will eventually we get back into it because every country, like look at China, look at Russia, look at you know, Egypt, like when we're talking very, very Asian, look at a role, all of those umpires, they, they fall.

    But then they're able to rebuild. So I feel we're right now, we're kind of going into a trough stage with the states and we're losing respect among our allies, unfortunately. But it's a cycle because like I said, the country is such a baby compared to every other country out there. So it's just the way of life.

    What do you, what do you appreciate about the U S like, what, what are you like? Ooh, I'm glad I'm here for these reasons.

    The opportunities. I'm glad I'm here for the opportunities because I can be nobody and I can still make something out of it. That's huge. I think comfort of living, ability to own the home because when I was in Russia, my biggest thing, and I'm like, one day I will have my own house and I will have my own car.

    That was truly the dream because everything in Russia was owned by the government. We had one car for the family. It's very, so when I moved here and I finally got my car and I owned my house, I was like, that is incredible because to me, it's not even an American dream. It's, it makes it, you do have the opportunity.

    If you work hard, you do have an opportunity to live your dream life. And that's what it is. Incredible. It's. It's here. You just need to go and get it.

    You know, so much of your recent energy has been around this business. It's been around your own divorce. So like, there's been a lot of divorce energy that you've had to kind of be holding space for, and you continue to do so for your clients, which you are excited and happy to do.

    But when you are not thinking about divorce, what are you doing? Like, what are you passionate about?

    Well, one. One very passionate part of my life is CrossFit. So I do that anyway, anywhere from five to six times a week. And for me, it's. One hour when my brain doesn't think I literally think I hope I survive this workout so that that's a good thing.

    But then another thing, it's incredible to see what my body's capable of doing, because it's like, it's mental strength. You try something, you're like, Oh shit, I can do this. I can do that. And it just keeps increasing in, in the weight in, in endurance. And I. Get to be surprised and impressed with myself of what I'm capable of.

    So that one thing is like my huge outlet. My other thing, I mean, I am, I am a girl I'm huge into fashion. So when I need distraction, I just go and I do research on the fashion trends on what I feel like getting, or like doing the research on what's What's right now fun to do for, for hair and makeup.

    Like I am, I am very much into, into that. And now I also got into cold plunge and it is, I didn't think I would be able or capable to do that, but I keep forgetting that mind is everything and mindset is everything. So getting into the 37 degree water and I recently was challenged. So I stayed there for 12 minutes.

    I was reminded again, how strong of a human I am. And those reminders are really fun. When considering all the challenges you went through, your life beats you up. Everybody goes through that. But it's a reminder. You know what? No, you're a badass. You got it. Like you can do this. You can do that. So for me, it's almost like reminders of what I'm capable of and doing some fun activities that's my distraction and just kind of getting away from divorce matters.

    You know when I when I met you Even before I had talked to you, just your presence, I was like, that is a powerful lady. And, you know, I don't know if it is, were you born that way? Did you have, did the situations make you step into your power?

    Did you have powerful mentors that were inspiring you?

    I think, one of my favorite quotes, nobody is born strong, we're made that way. But are the fires that we walk? So I, I believe we can be pretty exposed with, you know, more mental strength or tolerance for something. But I also believe that it's my life that made me that way. My drive. So like my, my core abilities and my core competencies, I know I am ambitious and I'm stubborn.

    So those, those two really go together. Even if I'm not naturally inclined, like music, I'm not naturally inclined. Like, Concert pianist was not my gig at all, but I was so stubborn and ambitious that I always want to be the top player. And I was because of my natural tendency to, to, to succeed in whatever I do.

    So staying strong, I think right now it's first, I had no choice. You kind of go through that, but it builds character. The experience has built my character. I don't think I was, I was born this this way. and mentors. I think my, my kids, sometimes I see them as my mentors in a way. And yeah, that's, that's kind of it.

    Well, cause there's so many people who go through. Similar things that you've had to deal with, and you see their light dim, you see their optimism dim, you see their hunger dim, and it occurs to me from the outside that every challenge that you have faced and you have come on the other side of, it almost like emboldens you to enjoy life at even a bigger level than you were before.

    Is that an accurate? Reading of you. Yes.

    Yes. I think this experience taught me life is short. And do not waste an opportunity. I always am a person live life without regrets. I'd rather try things and fail then be like, damn, I should have tried it. So, but it was my experience since I think the pivotal point for me was making a decision to, and my long term marriage and leave into the unknown.

    And From that point on, I'm like, what else is out there? So let's, let's go see. And sometimes I, I think sometimes I'm reckless. I get into experiences and I think back and I'm like, ah, that was a little iffy. Like I may have not made it, but it all works out. I think there's almost like an innate, protection mechanism in us. We would not do something that we know inherently dangerous, but I do like the idea of being a risk taker and being reckless in, in some decisions that I make, because they take me to the level where some people will never get because they, they're limited by their own beliefs and fears.

    And for how much you are strong and driven in your word, stubborn. I think the other side of you have the other side of you as well. Like. Like how you care about people and hosting and the relationships you value. Like there's, there's so you many people think that powerful ladies who are driven and ambitious and have gone through hell and back, there's like a hardened component, but there's still so much love and warmth and caring about the community and like putting your arms around people.

    Is that a natural balance for you? Or are you constantly reminding yourself like, to go between the masculine and feminine energy? Like, how does that show up for you?

    It's natural response. I think it's I don't have to try to be soft and nurturing toward people. If I see the people who truly matter to me, I'm always there for them.

    No matter what, no matter how Down I can feel it doesn't matter. Yeah, I am gonna go and support the people and provide love help Whatever assistance they need at that moment I just think it's Being strong and masculine is what? We acquire during our period but I think the natural tendency at least for me It's always been very nurturing very loving Toward my kids, toward my friends.

    And what I also noticed after this experience, my, my group of friends circle has become very small, but I know those people are there for me, just like I am there for them at all times. Before I was. It's way more giving to people that didn't care, didn't appreciate. So I learned to love me a little more and, you know, spread the feminine nurturing side for myself.

    But again, I think it, it just comes out naturally when people, you feel comfortable and safe with people knowing that this is what they need.

    Think it's a good transition to asking you, what are the words powerful and ladies mean to you and do their definitions change when those words are next to each other?

    I think so. Lady to me, I always feel like what's her name? Hepburn. What was her first name? Well, Aubrey or Catherine, which one? Yes, Aubrey, Aubrey. That one. And to me, it's always feels like a very classy lady. She knows herself for it, right? She is she's very proper. And she is just there is a, It's like a magnet and aura around her that is very magical and magnetic.

    When you talk about powerful, what do we envision? It's usually very masculine, powerful. I can conquer the war world. I can win this. I can get that. So it's, it's strength. It's mental strength, physical, all of that. When you combine powerful lady, the way I see it now is that it's a person, it's a woman. Who knows herself worth her nose, her strength, very self aware, not only IQ EQ as well.

    She knows her capabilities, the biggest strength and the flags. I think powerful ladies have is the ability to ask for help. Or knowing when I, her limits are reached when she needs to take a step back because powering through something is not strength. It makes you stupid because you burn out. And that means you are actually taking 10 steps back because you cannot function anymore.

    So the powerful lady is the one. Yes. She's a trailblazer. She, she knows how to, to make her own money. She knows how to be a great mom, but also knowing we cannot do it all. And when I need a pause, I need to process it and I need to take a step back or ask for help. And I think that's what the powerful lady is.

    It's, it's full awareness of her strength, weaknesses, and fears as well. And knowing when to when to address each one of those in her life.

    You mentioned how important it is to have a circle when you're going through divorce. Yes. And you mentioned how your circle for your own journey has kind of shrunk into some VIP people. How important has and women in your life been along your journey?

    Very important. I I had a bigger circle when we started just because I think when you know, when you start going through divorce, I have a lot of like couple friends and stuff like that. And yes, you tend to be closer with women, but then as going through Through the motions, you realize you see friends and you see foes.

    I had to go through betrayals of friends who I thought would never betray me, but things happen. So you learn to now differentiate and put people on periphery who may not have access to you, but then you surround yourself with people who never get tired of hearing and listening to you. You need those friends.

    And now I have only two. Friends like that, they will always pick up my phone call and they will always listen to me. No matter if it's hundredth time I'm talking about, I do not know an issue I have with my ex husband, an issue I have with my kids, whatever the case is, they will always listen. They never judge, but those are, it took four years.

    To get to this circle and limit access of other people into my life. But again, it comes with pain. It comes with betrayal that comes with hurt and tough lesson.

    One of the things that I've been looking at for my life and my business has been this. movement from very accessible to more curated. I don't like the word exclusive.

    So I've been using curated more, but it's this element of going from very available to like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I have to protect not just myself, but the business and the clients I do have. Like we have to honor that there's a caliber of expectation. That to like get into the VIP circle and what advice would you give to people who were kind of going through that transition from very available, very accessible to I need to be smarter about who who's in the circle?

    Well, the big thing is for. Remember how much energy you have and how much energy you, you're spending on other people who may not be worth it. That's one, because you're, you have only one bucket. And if those people are not able to refill it with the energy you're giving out, those people have to go. It's, it's that simple.

    It's not always easy. I completely understand. And also it's the big thing that I learned, discerning people when I'm quiet. And who checks in on me, those are the true friends, because if it's only me reaching out when we're, you know, in, in great shape and we're having great time, let's go for drinks, let's go to dinner.

    And they're like, absolutely. But it's people when you get quiet and they know that's not your typical behavior and they check in and they show up for you and some, I have friends. I was in such a bad spot and they like, okay, I'm coming over and we're going X, Y, and Z. It's those friends that you know, they are for you.

    And you need to keep an eye on people like that versus the ones that are only available when you are in great mood. And that's the one, it's very easy to support happy people. It's difficult to support people who are in distress.

    Totally. You know, we've been asking everyone as well, where you put yourself on the Powerful Ladies scale, if zero is average everyday human and 10 is the most powerful lady you can imagine, where would you put yourself on the scale today and on an average day?

    Think average day, I think I'm about seven. I think I, I always hustle. I always have a mindset of a, of a winner. Like I do not try to talk to myself. Oh my gosh, the day sucks. And this did not work out. No, there is a day next day and there is the next day. And there is always like all the steps forward that we're taking even on the days when we're not the most productive.

    And on my really good days, when I feel on top of the world yeah, I will put myself at 10 because when I have some wins, they're, they're fucking impressive.

    I love that. We've also been asking everyone, like, how can we help? This is a powerful, connected, wanting to pay it forward and contribute community.

    So whether it feels Insignificant or very significant, big, small, silly, important. What is something that's on your to do list or to manifest that we can, you can ask us to help you with?

    I think it's building more connections and with powerful ladies being connected more with, with ladies who build their own business, who, who know how to deal with failures because we learn from failures only, not from success.

    And Working with them, pick their brain as mentors. I think that's the biggest thing because I'm a new to owning my business. I, this is something I've always worked nine to five. So for me, establishing my own business, understanding how to run it, what to do has been definitely an overwhelming experience because I just have an ultimate goal, but being connected with.

    Powerful ladies that have done it, walk the walk. It's like just coaching and having the supportive community because we all understand the pains, the growing pains of being in business and the frustration and sometimes sad days. And sometimes it's happy days, but it's it's the community and support.

    Yeah. Okay, great. For everybody who wants to. hang out with you, hire you, they need you immediately for divorce coaching. Where are all the places that they can find, follow, and connect with you?
