Divorce etc... hosted by the exEXPERTS (T.H. and Jessica)

When you hear someone say you have to forgive your ex, does that make you even angrier? Does it sound like you have to accept and be ok with how you were treated? That's not actually what forgiveness means. And you're helping yourself more than anything, if you can find a way to move on. In this episode we talk about the idea of forgiveness, how it can impact you and your health in many ways...and help you take back control and move on. (Guest: Caren Weingart, Clinical Therapist & Clinical Nutritionist, Insights for Health)

Like it or not, the impact of a divorce can feel like the death of something, and it's natural to feel like you're mourning and navigating grief as you're going through it. Everyone has their own timeline as they work through it all, but therapist Oona Metz, who has more than 30 years experience specializing in divorce, has a new book called "Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide for Women" which is extremely helpful as you're trying to move forward. In this episode, T.H. talks to Oona all about the five stages of grief because of a divorce, and her warmth and empathy will offer you much better clarity on how to handle one of the most difficult events of your life.

Are you often doing things where you're influenced by the judgments and decisions of other people? We know what that's like - especially when it comes to everything you're going through and navigating when you're getting divorced. Everyone seems to have an opinion on what you should do.

In this episode, T.H. and Jess talk about Mel Robbins' new book "The Let Them Theory," and ways to keep going on your own path, while letting everyone else stay in their own lane.

Giving up control in your divorce and from your ex is the only way to move forward. Of course, we talk about how incredibly hard that is! We always want to be loved more, cared for more and seen as the best parent - but that's the problem!

We're starting 2025 by giving ourselves - and you! - what we're calling permission to pivot. Things change, life, kids, relationships, jobs, what makes us happy...and it's important to always listen to yourself and be true to what your guts is saying. What once worked may change, and that's ok! In this episode, T.H. talks to one of our OG exEXPERT faves, Susan Guthrie, about permission to pivot and how we're making some changes and focusing on things that bring us joy (and money!) in a different way. It's a reminder that you don't always have to stay in the same place, because life moves quickly and you have every right to take advantage of every opportunity. (Guest: Susan Guthrie, host "Turns Out" podcast, Family Law attorney & mediator).
