In this episode we’re talking about…

• Why the decision is so hard and why women tend to agonize between three-five years before filing
• The different ways to approach a divorce and when Hello Divorce is an option and how it works
• Why Gen Xers were taught to sacrifice and are so hard on themselves when it comes to divorce because, there is the question of, “am I being too selfish or selfless”?
• The research that it's not necessarily divorce that is so hard on kids and families; it's the conflict, whether you're in marriage or the ongoing conflict after marriage, that is what's harmful.

“There are options, there are different things you can do to set yourself up to be able to bounce back and do better than even before.”

“Divorce can feel like you’re happy, hurting and healing all at the same time.”
