Reclaiming: the podcast

Reclaiming divorce


Listen Later

Intro song by Remmington Taylor [IG: @rmmngtn]

If you’ve ever been divorced, you may know what I mean when I say this: there is nothing more liberating, yet terrifying, than filing those papers. But what if you’re a woman, WOC, uneducated, a single mom, LGBTQ+, or some other marginalized person? Welcome to Divorce Sucks: the sequel. And what if you were raised in the evangelical or otherwise conservative Christian church? Whaddya know, Divorce Sucks III, a full trilogy of patriarchal bullshit.

Join me to talk about divorce - the spiritual fallout from my own divorce six years ago, the history and economics of the rich-white-dude-benefitting divorce reality, and the added pressure of the church to stay together no matter what. It may seem impossible, but with courage and support, I promise you - you can climb that mountain, and a big fun club of bad bitch divorcees is waiting to celebrate you up here at the top.
