On this episode of Breaking Upward, Beth Andersen welcomes Andersen Law PC attorney Brian Beebe back to the podcast to talk about what to expect from mediation and its benefits, particularly in divorce and family law cases.
Together, they explain why mediation is often encouraged, how it differs from going to court, and what people can realistically expect from the process. Their conversation focuses on how preparation, flexibility, and the right support can lead to better outcomes during an already stressful time.
Beth and Brian address common misconceptions about mediation, including the idea that both parties must be in the same room or that mediation only works in low-conflict cases. You’ll also hear how mediation has evolved in recent years, including the growing use of virtual mediation and separate spaces for each party.
This episode is a helpful listen for anyone considering divorce, required to attend mediation, or simply trying to understand their options outside of litigation.
