Summary
In many frum communities, divorced women often navigate a world filled with quiet challenges- social stigma, financial strain, and the delicate balance of raising children alone while staying connected to community life. This episode opens a rare and honest window with Adina & Shira into their experiences. It explores how they rebuild, find strength, and seek belonging in a world that often misunderstands them. Through real stories and heartfelt reflections, we hear their voices - sometimes raw, always resilient.
