Behind the Breakup Anthems: Chatting about Shakira and Miley with Michelle Dempsey-Multack on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #286

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Michelle Dempsey-Multack to discuss their thoughts on empowerment versus bashing and the impact of a victim mentality.

Michelle Dempsey-Multack is back on the show!  We know Michelle from her other Guest Appearances on Divorce and Beyond and especially because she is the creator and Host of the Moms Moving On Podcast, the best-selling author of Mom’s Moving On, AND now the creator of the Moms Moving On Method Coaching Training Program.

Michelle joins Susan for a conversation about two of today’s most notable music artists who recently released what may be referred to as “breakup songs.”  In January, Shakira released “BZRP Music Sessions #53” and Miley Cyrus released “Flowers”. Together, Susan and Michelle explore how the songs and situations may be similar in some ways but different in others and the lessons and insights that we all can learn to apply to our own lives and situations!

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Inside Shakira’s sweet revenge against ex Gerard Pique - do two wrongs make a right?

Miley’s “Flowers” - is there power in the ability to reclaim your own narrative?

Exploring the difference between what you put out there in the world as a co-parent versus being a childless couple

“Everyone sings about heartbreak, but it hits differently when kids are involved.”
