We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jan and Jillian Yuhas a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Jan and Jillian thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you scale up? What were the strategies, tactics, meaningful moments, twists/turns, obstacles, mistakes along the way? We’d love to hear the backstory the illustrates how you grew the firm
As a company that operates on values, we wanted to do more than just provide information and services. We want to give every family access to the valuable and applicable resources they need during the transition of divorce. Navigating this difficult time can be made easier for everyone involved – including the children when they have the support they need.
To help co-parents everywhere, we have taken the initiative to make our resources easily accessible and more convenient than ever. From appearing on podcasts – delivering accessible knowledge to creating online courses full of valuable healing and child-centered communication techniques – parents now have even more support available at their fingertips. Our mission is to make sure families don’t feel alone in this journey as there are creative solutions within reach no matter how extreme situations get while implementing from the comfort of their own homes
Jan and Jillian , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Over two decades ago, when we volunteered at a crisis hotline for teens, it was clear there was a deep disconnect in the family dynamics. Our desire to bridge those gaps between children’s voices and their parents led us on an inspiring journey of self-discovery and growth – earning our Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy so that we could help more families understand each other better.
With our own firsthand experience as children of divorce, we are passionate about advocating for children who find themselves stuck in the middle between their parents. We understand how voiceless children can feel and strive to provide unwavering support to families going through high-conflict divorces. While our parents put us first throughout their co-parenting years, we experience many families facing coercive control within and outside the court system. This greatly impacts all family members yet we try to provide a sounding board so everyone involved has a chance at coming out stronger through the process.
Our coaching and mediation services advocate for the rights of children and co-parents who are experiencing the painful effects of power and control from a disgruntled ex-partner. We empower our clients who are caught in high-conflict situations to create strong healthy boundaries and amicable agreements, giving them a strong voice against emotional, psychological, and financial abuse. Through our services, we assist in protecting families from unnecessary neglect, manipulation, or abuse – offering hope when it may have seemed hopeless or fearful before.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
Our team of co-parenting coaches and family mediators are passionate about helping families find the best solutions for their unique co-parenting challenges. Our expertise and diverse background in family psychology, mediation strategies, child-centered approaches, and coaching modalities, help us stand out with a valuable reputation. We strive to empower parents and our community with the knowledge they need about the long-term effects of psychological or emotional abuse and how to counter it through our inspirational posts on social media or blogs on our website.
When our clients come to us they tell within minutes of speaking to them they finally feel someone understands them and everything they have been experiencing over many years. We help our clients feel confident and find freedom from years of being gaslit and silenced so they can move forward with their lives and create safety and security for their children. The family court tends to not recognize emotional or psychological abuse until it is presented in a way they can see the bigger picture. We help support our clients through our detailed documentation process of psychological manipulation. Our goal is to help our clients see they have a voice that can be heard and understood and to end psychological abuse within divorced families.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Our amazing community on social media and blog readers has been a top driving source of new clientele. Through both of these platforms, we offer great free resources of daily information and receive inquiries directly from our content. We also offer Q and A over on Instagram on regular bases supporting our clients and community of co-parents in any way that we can.
