Putting Kids First in Divorce takes a compassionate look at putting children first during a divorce, as well as sharing the benefits of pursuing a collaborative or mediated divorce. In her chapter, “Approaching Divorce With Mindfulness And Compassion,” Ms. Zylberman provides strategies based on compassion and empathy to support families in having a more harmonious experience during a time that often lends itself to pain and anguish.

Through her practice, Paikea Mediation, Ms. Zylberman combines skills and education gained in her studies and practice of law, mediation, spiritual psychology, and communication, to support individuals, couples, parents, and families through conflict, and towards compassion and healing.

Ms. Zylberman believes, “If our children are our future, let their ‘highest good’ guide us in our actions and our thoughts.”

Ms. Zylberman passionately advocates for collaboration and mediation in divorce. Her mission — “through transitions, we are all transformed” — aligns with the mission of Putting Kids First in Divorce. According to Belinda, “I am always thrilled to participate in heart-centered collaborations and this experience was just that. The Putting Kids First in Divorce project supported me as both a professional and a woman — and, as a mother, step-mother, and member of a blended family — to discover new levels of wisdom and explore more deeply what it means to understand the “outer” and “inner” worlds of conflict. By engaging in a process through which we can decipher and absorb the lessons that lie beneath, we are inevitably led to our most sought out human experience: love. Integrating my professional experiences as a lawyer, mediator, coach and spiritual psychologist, I am ever grateful to work with individuals, couples, parents, and families to do what I believe is our ‘great work’: To learn to see beyond our inner and outer conflicts, find peace and then share that with the world.”

Ms. Zylberman is available for speaking engagements on the topics of healing through relationship and conscious parenting. For more information about Belinda, visit Paikea Mediation.
