I could reword this for you ten million ways, but a better answer would be that you should do it yourself.

When you need to break down a horrific run-on sentence, just separate out the different things you want to say and try reordering them in a handful of ways with different comma and period placements.

If the first five wordings don't work, make five more. You'll get it right a lot faster if you force yourself to not keep thinking of it the same way each time. Think of new words and phrases which can better express what you're trying to say. with practice, you'll catch yourself mid-run-on and efficiently reword it as you go. Just takes time.
