The divorce process is hard. Moving forward in your life after a divorce is hard. It doesn't matter if you have kids or not - it is a difficult process emotionally, physically and mentally. 

But finding a friend, a tribe or connection with someone who understands can help in so many ways.  In this episode with the co-founders of DivorceOver40, you will hear how the group started with just a few folks and how you can start your own.

This group that Julie, Daniel and Amy created remind us that extended an olive branch or a simple hello is another way to show kindness in our world.
