Summary
Women are posting their “divorce glow ups” online and it’s become quite the viral trend. You see their before and after photos with captions like “me as a wife” and then swipe to see “me as an ex-wife” and the transformations are significant. Women look fitter, sexier and yes, happier post divorce, but the experts say it’s not cosmetic surgeries or injections, it’s physiological. We obviously know a thing or two about divorce, and talk about how it’s a good thing to lessen the stigma around it, but warn there are some clear dangers in glamorizing the experience.
