In Episode 17 of Dealing with Divorce, we dig into the emotional grip of control—how we often try to manage people, outcomes, and situations after divorce in an effort to protect ourselves from more pain.

The problem? That need to control only keeps us stuck, bitter, and exhausted.

In Episode 16 of Dealing with Divorce, we explore one of the most universal but rarely talked about parts of healing—loneliness.

In Episode 15 of Dealing with Divorce, we take an honest look at one of the most common struggles in post-divorce life: comparison.
