How to Tell Your Spouse You’re Moving Forward with Divorce


Listen Later

Making the decision to divorce is one thing—telling your spouse is another. In this episode, I walk you through the emotional and practical aspects of this pivotal conversation. I know how overwhelming this moment can feel, which is why I want to help you prepare, not just with what to say, but how to say it with clarity and confidence. This is not a request or a debate—it’s your decision, and I’ll guide you in delivering it with strength and compassion.

We’ll explore the key elements of timing, setting, and emotional preparedness, because how and when you share this decision can make all the difference. I’ll also help you anticipate their reaction—whether it’s shock, anger, or grief—so you can hold firm without getting pulled into unnecessary conflict. And if safety is a concern, I’ll offer ways to ensure you have the right support in place.

This is a hard but necessary step, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re struggling with how to begin, feeling anxious about their response, or simply need reassurance that you can do this, this episode is for you. Let’s take this step together—with clarity, confidence, and care.
