Summary

While no one goes into a marriage imagining it will ever end, we know that divorce is a reality for approximately half of Americans. And while I will always be pro-marriage and encourage those of you in difficult marriages to seek help and fight to save your marriage, I know that sometimes there are no other options than divorce. Today’s guest, Brandi Wilson, knows the pain of divorce. In today’s episode she shares her story of being married to a megachurch pastor, who in 2016 walked away from the church and his family. So, when Brandi’s 20-year marriage dissolved, she also lost her church community, her dreams for the future, and a huge part of her identity. Yet, over 8 years later, Brandi has a message of HOPE and healing that I think will bless many listeners. If you or someone you love is navigating divorce, (especially while raising children) I hope you can tune in. Find notes and links to everything Brandi talks about in show notes:Find links and show notes on my website:Today’s episode: www.monicaswanson.com/brandi-wilson General podcast page: www.monicaswanson.com/podcastCheck out CTCMath for a simplified and fun (Yes!

here again today and today's kind of a special episode because we're talking

about something we haven't talked about

before. Last week we talked about public schooling which I had never covered

specifically before as a homeschool mom here and today we're talking about divorce which I have never
