Thursday, 20 November, 2025
Divorce Mediation, Virtual Breakups & Real Boundaries — with Joe Dillon On this episode of Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bulitt sit down with Joe Dillon, co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services, to dive deep into the world of divorce mediation, emotional intelligence, and how money and emotion often collide during the end of a marriage. Joe combines his MBA in Finance with extensive training from Harvard, MIT, and Northwestern, and has been a virtual mediation pioneer since 2011—long before it became the norm. But what really stands out is Joe’s personal story as a child of a highly litigated divorce, which fuels his compassionate, process-driven approach to helping couples separate without destroying their families. 🎙 What’s Inside: 💼 Why most divorce mediators are lawyers—and why Joe isn’t 🔍 How deceit, ego, and entitlement derail divorce 🧠 Using coaching and emotional preparation to mediate better ⚖️ What Joe learned from growing up in a courtroom (literally) 👥 How he and his wife, Cheryl, balance working together and staying connected 📍 Which states are actually mediation-friendly—and why that matters This episode is full of real-life insight, warmth, and practical advice for couples thinking about divorce, in the middle of it, or supporting others through it. 🖥️ Learn more about Joe's work: 🌐 https://www.equitablemediation.com 🔗 Free resources, videos, blog posts, and eBooks available 📞 Free intro calls available directly on the site — 💬 Connect with Julie & David Bulitt: 🌐 Website: https://www.thebulitts.com 📸 Instagram: @thebulitts 📘 Facebook: The Bulitts 📺 YouTube: @TheBulitts
