It's Never Too Late to Have a Good Childhood: A Milestone in Divorce Healing

Featuring: Deborah Moskovich and Ron Sapanchek, with host Steve Peck

A Landmark Episode in Divorce Education

This special episode of The Smart Divorce is more than just a conversation—it's a breakthrough in how we understand the long-reaching effects of divorce and the enduring possibility of healing. Ron Sapanchek, a celebrated family lawyer and host of his own show, courageously shares a deeply personal, never-before-told story of childhood abandonment, emotional reconciliation, and parental reunification after nearly four decades apart. His journey from a "wounded healer" to a pioneer of humane divorce practices underscores the belief that divorce is not just an ending, but a profound opportunity for transformation.

Legacy and Impact

Deborah Moskovich and Steve Peck guide this conversation with warmth and empathy, positioning this episode as:

• A forerunner to the Soft Landing Podcast, setting the emotional and philosophical tone for what’s to come
• An achievement in divorce education—offering fresh, empathetic frameworks like mission statements and storytelling for families in crisis
• A story of generational healing that will inspire both professionals and those navigating separation

Why This Episode Matters

Ron’s story is not just heartwarming—it’s transformative. His experiences challenge the notion of “broken families,” emphasizing communication, compassion, and second chances.
