Summary
I asked my community of women to send me their questions and I received some really great ones to explore. Join me as I answer questions about whether you should stay or go, how to handle the complexities of divorce, and everything in between.
I really hope this episode inspires you to submit your story or question too. I'd love to do more episodes like this one. So send your questions or story, right here.
In this episode, I answer these listener questions:
- Why do I feel guilty over wanting a divorce? I've been so unhappy for so long. Is that a good enough reason to leave?
- Should I change my last name? Is it worth it?
- My husband is in denial about divorce. What can I do?
