Designing a New Life: Creating Home After Divorce

Hosted by Deborah Moskovich and Steve Peck | Featuring Guest Deirdre Dyent

Episode Theme: From “We” to “Me”—Transforming Space, Healing Hearts

In this milestone episode of The Smart Divorce—a forerunner to the impactful Soft Landing Podcast—we venture beyond legalities and into the intimate spaces of post-divorce transformation. Deborah Moskovich, renowned divorce consultant and author, welcomes interior designer and emotional transition expert Deirdre Dyent, in a conversation that reshapes how we think about home after separation. What makes this episode an “achievement” in divorce education? It’s the first to address home design as emotional recovery. This isn’t just about where you live—it’s how you heal.

• Why your space matters: How your environment reflects your emotional state post-divorce
• Designing with children in mind: Creating continuity and safety across two homes
• From chaos to comfort: Practical strategies for turning dismal beginnings into fresh starts
• Emotional architecture: Avoiding “revenge decorating” and embracing authenticity

This inspiring and practical conversation offers hope and dignity for anyone navigating the emotional upheaval of moving on. A brighter, more humane approach to separation starts here.
