Beyond the Courtroom: Mediation, Safety ...

Sara Davison
About this episode

In this powerful episode of Heartbreak to Happiness, Sara Davison sits down with Rebecca Waclawyj, founder of Brighter Future Mediation, neurodivergent entrepreneur, and survivor turned advocate for safe, trauma-informed conflict resolution.

Drawing on over 15 years in the criminal and family court system—and her own lived experience of divorce and separation—Rebecca offers a candid, critical look at mediation in the context of domestic abuse. Can mediation ever be safe when power imbalances exist? When is it a healing alternative, and when does it risk retraumatizing survivors?
