Sadie's Divorced and Happy

It is time to turn your post-divorce attitude to gratitude and appreciate the day when anger over your divorce turned into thankfulness for what you gained on the other side.

My guest today on “Thank You Divorce – Again” is Laura Friedman Williams. We have so much in common with me that I fondly call her “my sister from another mister.”

Laura is the fabulous author of “Available: A Memoir of Sex and Dating After a Marriage Ends.” The podcast, like her book, is hilarious, juicy, and extremely candid.

After her experience with a cheating ex left behind a lot of bitterness, Laura’s tables turned when she started to think about what she was grateful for vs. just what she was losing. 

Rediscover and embrace the sexy-new-you waiting to reveal herself, and check out Laura’s book for more tips!  Listen in at divorcedandhappy.net or any podcast platform.

Have you experienced a Foodie Call? Do you even know what one is? 

Listen in as my guests, Life Coach for Divorce Recovery and author, Daren Douglas, and podcast co-host of "Divorce Doesn't Suck," Daniel Herrold, dish about foodie calls and all things dating. 

From who pays on a first date, to would they date women who make more money and expert her to always pay, to how they vet a woman on a first date, we cover the dating etiquette bases and more! 

These two divorced dads also open up about their dating gaffes and what they learned the hard way. They get real about their initial amateur mid-life dating moves, to doing the internal work after floundering one too many times, to the questions they now ask on a first date and how they now love to “get emotional” when dating.

Has divorce led you to a more authentic life?

This week’s guest, author Candace Walsh, shares how dating women after leaving a heterosexual marriage, meant she was finally able to “breath" and feel comfortable in her own skin.

Coming out for Candace led to a deeply intimate connection to her new wife, Laura. It also pushed her to live more creatively, moving her out of the “little space” she had been occupying. She’s finding her bliss because she embraced her authentic self.

Has denying your true sexuality or true self got you holding your breath? Listen in to this transformational and inspiring episode at www.DivorcedandHappy.net or any podcast platform.

How do you determine when it’s time to quit or time to commit to a relationship? Why is it harder to keep a commitment to pursuing your own happiness, and easier to stay stuck in something that doesn't bring you joy?

In today’s episode, “Quitters and Committers,” Exit and Relationship Strategist Tonya Carter invites you to reframe the definition of "quitting" and what it means to you. Quitting is not equivalent to failing. Honor how you walked away from that which wasn’t serving your heart’s desire. But that's not all, Tonya also offers no-nonsense advice to help you lean into commitment so you can move on to a happier life.
