In this conversation, Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by popular internet personality, Scarlett Longstreet. Together, they discuss the complexities of divorce, co-parenting, and the emotional journey of self-discovery that often accompanies the end of a marriage.


They explore the societal stigma surrounding divorce, the importance of personal growth, and the challenges of integrating new partners into family life.
