Hi, I’m Mardi Chadwick-Balcom. Welcome to The Regulated Lawyer Podcast page.
Where legal strategy meets nervous system wisdom.
Has your divorce attorney ever talked to you about your nervous system?
Probably not. But they should.
The Regulated Lawyer Podcast
Divorce is one of the most dysregulating experiences of adult life. It lives in your body long before the paperwork is filed and long after it's signed. And yet almost no one in the legal system is trained to address what's actually happening underneath the decisions — the fear, the reactivity, the survival mode that quietly drives everything from how you negotiate to what you sign your name to.
The Regulated Lawyer is here to change that conversation.
Why listen
Because calm is a legal strategy. You cannot make good decisions from a dysregulated nervous system, and no one taught us how to regulate through this process. Each episode gives you language for what you're feeling, tools for what you're facing, and a steadier way to think about what comes next.
This show is for you if:
You're in the middle of divorce, or standing on the edge of it, and looking for something grounding that isn't legal jargon or toxic positivity
You're a divorce professional — lawyer, mediator, coach, financial specialist — who senses that dysregulation is costing your clients and costing you
You care about new, more humane ways for families to separate
You'll walk away feeling less alone, more regulated in your body, and clearer about your next step.
