Episode 18: The Reality of Divorce


Listen Later

Jennifer and Fiorella get into the real stuff about divorce: how it can be weirdly “common” and still absolutely wreck you. Both talk about getting married young, realizing the life they’d built didn’t actually fit, and that gut-level moment of “this isn’t my life.” Even when the split is the right call, it can come with a ton of shame, grief, loneliness, and straight-up not sleeping for months.

They also talk about what nobody warns you about: the money stress, the legal mess, and how women often seem to get the short end of the deal—plus why prenups/postnups should be normal (more like planning ahead than “killing the vibe”). Friend groups can flip too; some people surprise you by showing up, and others disappear or pick sides, so you end up rebuilding your circle from scratch.

The hopeful part: they both say life can get so much better on the other side. Therapy, leaning on support, and learning to be solid on your own makes a huge difference. And if you ever do partnership again, it doesn’t have to look “traditional”—sleep separate, keep separate accounts, live however works. The main point: know yourself, protect your peace, and pick someone who actually fits the life you want.
