Podcast – Divorce | An Honest Chat About Leaving Your Mate

Finding Peace in Separation and Making the Most of the Situation

Going through a divorce? Are you constantly feeling scared that you made the wrong decision to end your marriage, even though you know at heart that it was the best decision? Join me and my girls for a special Car Smart episode recorded en route to a girl’s night out festivity. Listen as my friends share their personal experiences and endeavors with both a struggling marriage and divorce.

We were in our Uber and on our way to a Go-Go’s concert when, of the cuff, I told my friends I needed to record the Car Smart episode for this week. I told them the topic was gonna be on divorce and I gave them absolutely no time to prepare. Yes, this may have been a slightly cruel thing to surprise my friends with on the way to a concert, but they all agreed afterward that it was incredibly nice to converse with one another and share their stories. (This shows that getting deep can result in a growth of connectedness in your friendships).

Divorce and a problematic marriage are relatable topics; everyone’s experiences with the two are unique, yet there is often a common ground that we all stand on when it comes to the foundations of relationships in marriage. In this episode, you’ll get a sneak-peek into my best gal friends’ lives and their experiences with discovering that their marriages weren’t working for them. Each of these beautiful women (that I am fortunate to call my best friends) share their own personal stories, what they learned, and how their experiences have shaped them and their relationships with loved-ones today. You won’t want to miss this.
