The Stay or Go Podcast for Women Considering Divorce

The Hidden Costs of Staying Married When You Want to Get Divorced


Listen Later

Episode 14: Babes — we need to talk. 💬 If you’ve been stuck in the “should I stay or should I go” spiral, this episode is going to hit. Because while the fear of divorce is loud (and real AF 😮‍💨), there’s another side we don’t talk about enough: what it costs you to stay in a marriage that’s slowly dimming your light. 💡💔

In this one, I’m getting so real about the hidden toll staying can take — on your energy, your confidence, your connection with yourself. 👀✨

💥 The emotional exhaustion that doesn’t go away
 🌪️ The tension in your body you’ve normalized
 😶 The version of yourself you’ve silenced just to keep the peace
 ⏳ The dreams you’ve put on hold “until the time is right”

I share pieces of my own journey and what I’ve seen in my clients — the deep ache of living in limbo, and the quiet freedom that comes when you finally admit: this isn’t working for me anymore. 🥀

We’ll talk about how staying can sometimes feel easier — but it’s often just more familiar, not more aligned. 💭 And girl… if your nervous system is whispering that it’s time to move, LISTEN. 👂🏼💗

Because you? You deserve the kind of life that feels like home. 🏡
The kind of love that makes you feel SEEN. 👁️
The kind of peace that doesn’t require you to shrink to keep it. ☁️

🌈 This episode is a soft nudge and a big permission slip — to ask yourself the hard questions, and tell yourself the truth. You don’t owe anyone your silence. You do owe yourself the chance to thrive. 🌺💫

So pour the coffee (or wine 🫣), grab your journal, and let’s get into it.
