Before it Breaks with Gabriella Pomare
A podcast about marriage, motherhood, divorce, co-parenting and the emotional load no one sees until everything starts to fracture.
Before It Breaks with Gabriella Pomare is for the conversations families usually have too late, when the silence has already become resentment, the emotional load has already become exhaustion, and the relationship has often been breaking quietly long before anyone says the word separation.
Hosted by Gabriella Pomare, family lawyer, author of The Collaborative Co-Parent, speaker, mother and co-parent, this podcast explores marriage, motherhood, divorce, separation, co-parenting, communication, conflict, boundaries, emotional intelligence and what really happens before, during and after a family changes shape.
About Gabriella Pomare
Gabriella Pomare is an Australian keynote speaker, family lawyer, law firm partner and author of The Collaborative Co-Parent who speaks at conferences, leadership events and professional seminars across Australia and internationally. As a Partner of Norton Law Group Family Lawyers, Gabriella is a recognised thought leader on co-parenting, communication, modern families, women’s leadership and emotional resilience, bringing more than a decade of frontline experience working with families navigating separation and conflict. Through her keynote speaking, media appearances and writing, Gabriella shares practical strategies to help leaders, parents and organisations improve communication, reduce conflict and build stronger relationships using her signature framework, the Four Pillars of Communication: Listen, Pause, Reflect and Respond. Known for her engaging storytelling and powerful insights, Gabriella is a highly sought-after keynote speaker for corporate events, leadership conferences, legal seminars and women’s leadership forums, helping audiences rethink how communication, emotional intelligence and resilience shape both professional success and modern family life.
For more than a decade, Gabriella has worked exclusively in family law, guiding families through separation with clarity, dignity and a deeply child-centered approach. She is a Partner at The Norton Law Group Family Lawyers in Sydney, where she advises on complex parenting and property matters, including international relocation cases, high-net-worth disputes and matters involving family violence.
But Gabriella’s work has never been limited to legal outcomes alone.
What sets her apart is her ability to sit at the intersection of law, lived experience and emotional intelligence — translating complexity into language people can actually use in real life. Her work speaks not just to how families separate, but to how women and parents rebuild identity, confidence and stability afterwards.
Gabriella is a sought-after media commentator and speaker, with appearances across major US and Australian television, podcasts and digital platforms, including NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, Good Day New York, The Today Show, The Morning Show, and more. She has completed two US media tours across New York, San Diego and Los Angeles and delivered dozens of interviews on co-parenting, motherhood, rebuilding after separation, emotional resilience and leadership.
With a highly engaged global audience across social media and her online platforms, Gabriella’s work resonates because it reflects real life — not ideals. She speaks to women who are capable and exhausted, ambitious and stretched, rebuilding while still holding everyone else together.
Her message challenges outdated narratives that ask women to cope quietly or aim for perfection. Instead, she advocates for emotional leadership — at home, at work and within ourselves — and for learning which balls must be held, and which can finally be put down.
