Breaking the Cycle: A Smart, Humane Approach to Domestic Violence and Divorce

Hosted by Deborah Moskovich with guest Tim Wenzel

Episode Theme: Leaving Without a Trace—The Safety-First Strategy

In this milestone episode of The Smart Divorce Radio Show, Deborah Moskovich returns from hiatus with a powerful and deeply human conversation that redefines how we approach domestic violence and separation. This episode marks a pivotal shift in divorce education—where strategy, safety, and compassion intersect—and serves as a direct forerunner to the Soft Landing Podcast. Joining Deborah is Tim Wenzel, a protective security consultant and founder of the Wenzel Protection Group. Unlike traditional advisors, Tim physically helps survivors escape dangerous situations and rebuild their lives. This is not just talk—this is tactical, thoughtful action at its finest.

• Learn why leaving without a trace requires more than courage—it requires a team.
• Understand the critical role of safety planning, emotional readiness, and legal foresight.
• Hear how one woman's nine-month escape journey led to lasting freedom and joy.

Impact and Legacy

This episode doesn’t just educate—it inspires. It shines a light on a rarely seen side of domestic abuse recovery and lays the groundwork for a new, smarter way to approach separation—built on empathy, expertise, and empowerment.
