0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:03.0	Hi, I'm Caroline Stambry and I am Divor's Not Debt. I'm a former Bravo TV star and now former wife.
0:16.0	Fresh off the back of my divorce, I'm bringing real stories, real life, real talk on all things that aren't said between each other, society, the sheets and everything in the middle.
0:25.0	And lucky me, you'll be joining me for the journey, so buckle up.
0:30.0	Hi everyone, welcome back to Divorce Not Dead and today we were going to talk
0:37.5	about transitioning from wife to single person. I mean I can only really go on myself and my experiences from, you know,
0:51.1	being a wife of 18 years and then to living on my own. I mean
