Lisa Johnson knows what it feels like to walk through absolute chaos and somehow keep standing.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Lisa, co-founder of Been There, Got Out, high-conflict divorce strategist, certified domestic violence advocate, and someone who represented herself through nearly a decade of court battles. Her published case in Connecticut became legal precedent, and her testimony helped pass Jennifer’s Law expanding the legal definition of domestic violence to include coercive control.

This conversation is honest, emotional, practical, and deeply important.

We talk about:

• What makes a divorce become “high conflict”
• The red flags attorneys see immediately
• How narcissistic behavior and addiction impact custody battles
• Legal abuse and coercive control
• How to choose the RIGHT divorce attorney
• Ways to protect yourself emotionally and financially
• How to help your children think critically instead of being manipulated
• What parental alienation actually looks like
• Why emotional support and therapy matter so much during divorce
• The mindset shift that helped Lisa survive ten years in court

Lisa also shares powerful encouragement for anyone feeling trapped, exhausted, scared, or emotionally shattered in the middle of a difficult transition.

If you are walking through divorce, co-parenting struggles, betrayal trauma, or simply trying to rebuild your life after heartbreak, this episode will remind you that you are not crazy… and you are not alone.
