You’re not broken.

You’re becoming.

Welcome to Here’s the Deal — a podcast for women navigating divorce, heartbreak, toxic relationships, motherhood, and the messy, beautiful process of coming back to themselves.

I’m Marilee Grace.

I’ve lived the breakdown.

I’ve loved a narcissist.

I’ve lost myself.

And I’ve learned — slowly and imperfectly — how to heal.

This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out.

It’s about becoming — one honest conversation at a time.

Here, I share the lessons I learned the hard way, in real time — not as an expert talking at you, but as a friend walking beside you. Not ahead of you.

Not above you.

Because life doesn’t fall apart neatly.

Healing doesn’t happen in straight lines.

And transformation is rarely graceful while it’s happening.

If you’ve ever felt like a beautiful disaster — strong, emotional, growing, and still healing — you’re in the right place.

Writing saved me when my life felt loud, confusing, and overwhelming.

Not to be poetic — but to survive.

To tell myself the truth.

To come home to who I was becoming.

In this space, writing is a lifeline.

You’ll never be told what to write — only invited.
