Grief, healing, new beginnings, and the transformative power of separation and divorce — this episode covers it all.

Nikki sits down with best friends Diana Edwards and Nicola Dale from the "Over The Back Fence" podcast. These two powerhouse women share their personal experiences through their separation and divorce. In 2024, with 'grey divorces' on the rise, the question often asked is "What do you do when a long-term marriage comes to an end?" With decades of wisdom behind them, Di and Nicola share their lessons from ending their 36 and 25 year marriages.

Di opens up about the end of her 36-year marriage, sharing her two-year grieving process. 'I’ve closed that door on my past marriage, and I’ve walked through another into my new life,' she reflects. 

Nicola talks about the end of her 25-year marriage, how she navigated the heartache, found freedom and joy in being single, and eventually found love — only to face the pain of a public breakup after a high-profile, four-year relationship. How did she survive? With grace, integrity, and a wealth of insights that she shares with you in this episode.

Divorce and Separation Podcast offers valuable insights and practical tips for individuals navigating the challenges of separation, making it a resourceful guide for those seeking support during this emotional journey.
