We initially connected on Instagram: she in Australia, I in Jamaica (visiting). This episode is our DM conversations, turned in a podcast episode. Just two moms navigating a divorce, swapping advice and tales.

Her Divorce Profile: Was married for 9 years. Been separated for 1 year. Two children (under 10 years old). Was a stay-at-home mom for 6 years.

We learned that we have a lot in common and found connection in the overlap of our stories.

In the episode, we chat about being a mom of two small children while navigating a divorce- how to talk to them about it and how to recognize behavioral changes in them. We also talk about changing our names post-divorce. She has chosen a brand new last name! Not the one she had when she was married, and not the one she was born with!....which I find fascinating and totally understand.

We also both define "single motherhood" and what it means to us individually.

And toward the end, her response to "Thanks Divorce for _________" is heart-warming and powerful.

Enjoy!

Have you ever had random ideas about life and love and also had a podcast to say them on? I do and I do.

This episode is a compilation of 5 ideas. I won't give it all away but this is the gist of the 5 ideas:

Whether people in relationships should live together or not

How long I think marriages should be

How to document when we're going through a tough time in life

My ideas on what first dates should be

How we're stronger than we think

This episode is short and sweet, but it had to be said! I'm sure I'm not the first to have these thoughts. This is just Volume One of the "Hear Me Out" series. There's more to come. I'm full of random ideas like this.

Let me know your thoughts! Find me on IG or submit a form on the contact page of our website. I'd love to hear from you.

The podcast's first interview! They grow up so fast, don't they?! haha!

In this interview I speak to my good friend and producer extraordinaire: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aidahzmuhammad/ (Aidah Muhammad).

We talk about who she is, her marriage and divorce story, and everything she's learned from all the above.

She talks about the importance of home (external and internal), the importance of listening to our inner knowing....and a whole heap of other insightful things. She honestly drops gems all throughout. Gotta catch them all, like pokemon!

This episode invites listeners to remove romantic love from the center of your lives, and make room for other types of love. I talk about how we've been socialized to put romantic love on a pedestal and how we may not be giving enough attention to the other types of love that exists in our lives. I also give ideas on how to decentralize it. "She's invited to the party, just don't take up so much space while you're here!"

File this under: "Hear Me Out"

On another note, this one was fun to record! ....By fun, I mean scary! This was a live recording/simulcast on https://www.clubhouse.com/club/thanks-divorce (Clubhouse)! I was nervous, sweating and breathing heavy but I powered through it with what I had to say. After I stopped recording, the people in the room with me came on stage and we had an impromptu hour-long conversation about the topic. I guess another take away from the episode is to try new things, even scary things! You never know what will come of it.

This episode is about seeing the wonderful opportunity that divorce has given us in being able to write your own script for our lives.

But wait, there's a script?! Of course there is!

I talk about "loosening the reigns of what society has prescribed for us and go for what we actually want!"

Take a listen to learn about the script that's been handed down to us, how we "drank the kool-aid" and how to make our own!

Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name's Janine!

We're two episodes in and I've finally come around to formally introducing myself. You will, of course, get to know me as I release more episodes and my personality shines through. But in this episode I share some specific details about my personal and professional life. I also share where I am (emotionally) in my divorce process, and finally I share a newfound superpower that I've developed while going through this process.
