Divorce is common — but for years, it was rarely discussed openly or thoughtfully in the media. In this episode of the Drama-Free Divorce Podcast, Cary Jacobson sits down with veteran journalist Ilyssa Panitz to explore how journalism can shine a light on divorce and help people heal.

After a successful career covering entertainment and celebrity news, Ilyssa experienced a harrowing divorce that changed her life — and her mission. She went on to create The Divorce Hour with Ilyssa Panitz and the global TV series Ways Thru Divorce, giving voice to experts and survivors alike.

Together, Cary and Ilyssa discuss:

• Why divorce has long been a taboo topic
• How storytelling and education empower people during divorce
• Lessons learned from interviewing legal, financial, and mental health experts
• The global reach and impact of Ways Thru Divorce
• Advice for those just starting their divorce journey

This episode is a powerful reminder that divorce is not the end — it’s the beginning of a new chapter, and no one has to navigate it alone.
