In this powerful episode of Divorce Happens, host Olivia Howell sits down with therapist and coach Laura Fink to talk about the emotional complexity of considering divorce. Laura, a master-certified coach for high-achieving women, shares her perspective on how therapy creates a safe, judgment-free space to process relationship struggles and untangle internal patterns before making life-changing decisions. Together, they explore what it really means to ask yourself, “Should I stay or should I go?”

Laura emphasizes that therapy can be especially impactful when sought early—before couples enter crisis mode. She shares the difference between individual therapy and couples counseling, and why getting clear on your own desires, patterns, and pain points is often more effective than navigating a conflicted relationship space with a partner. Olivia and Laura also dig into the transformative power of journaling as a way to peel back surface-level frustrations and uncover the core emotional needs behind the conflict.

Whether you’re quietly questioning your relationship or in the thick of decision-making, this episode offers gentle, grounding wisdom. You’ll walk away with practical tools like journal prompts, a deeper understanding of how therapy works, and a reminder that you don’t need to do this alone. Divorce may be common—but with the right support, it can also be empowering.
