In this raw and real episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I sit down with award-winning writer, author, and speaker Rachel Sobel to talk about navigating the chaos of divorce and coming out stronger on the other side. We dive deep into the emotions, fears, and surprising realities of ending a marriage—and why it doesn’t just stop when the paperwork is signed.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

• 🔥 Fear vs. Reality – Why the fear of divorce is often worse than the reality of it—and how to get past it.

• 💡 The Business & The Emotion – Divorce isn’t just legal paperwork; the emotional work is just as (if not more) important.

• 🛑 The Never-Ending Divorce – Why divorce doesn’t truly “end” when you have kids and how to co-parent without losing yourself.

• 🌿 Triggers & Trauma – How to recognize and work through emotional triggers from past relationships.

• ✨ Your Divorce Isn’t Your Identity – Rebuilding a life that isn’t defined by your ex, your past, or your pain.
