| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Divorce Survival Guide podcast, where we have open and honest conversations about co-parenting, separation, divorce, and the hardest question of all, should you stay or should you go. |
| 0:17.8 | I'm Kate Anthony, your divorce survival guide, and I'm here to help you navigate |
| 0:22.8 | some of the roughest waters you've ever swum in and answer some of your toughest questions. |
| 0:28.5 | I've been to hell and back, and now it's my mission in life to help you get to the other |
| 0:33.9 | side of this process with your sanity and your heart intact. |
| 0:44.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back. So today I have with me, Sharon Pope. She is a master life coach and a relationship expert. And we're talking |
| 0:58.2 | today about why more and more women are opting out of their marriages. This is like they're calling it |

| 2:03.1 | moving through this because there's a lot of stuff that's going to come up as you go through |
| 2:08.7 | the summer. And a lot of people don't have the time. They don't want to deal with things in the |
| 2:12.6 | summer. They've got vacations. They've got this going on. Right. So I do have a bunch of really cool stuff coming up |
