  • I love this pod!

    It has guided me through all the questions I had, before I was ready to talk about them with anyone else. Olivia has been the friend in my ears that I needed, telling me the terrible, awful truth, as kindly and beautifully as possible.

  • A must

    No one wants to believe that their marriage will end up in divorce. Until you are going through it. You do not know what it’s like. This is an incredible resource for anyone who is in their storm, pre and even post divorce. I felt so seen and heard. Just do yourself a favor and listen to it
