  • Just the best

    Olivia not only has the best opener I’ve ever heard (serious) she has the best podcasting voice I’ve heard as well. A calming effect that makes it seem like everything is going to be okay. In relation to divorce, it is good to know there are options and support for those going through it. I personally listen to divorce happens and I’m not divorced (yet). Kidding honey!!! Keep doing amazing things for people going through divorce, Olivia. Your registry is ingenious!

  • Love this podcast

    I’m so grateful that this podcast exists. We need more people talking about the actual experience of divorce. There’s still such a stigma and the more we talk about it the more that changes. Love this podcast!!

    I listen to this as a way to be more understanding and helpful to my friends, navigating separation and divorce without laboring them with my questions of trying to understand. Olivia gives bite-size stories and recommendations that are very helpful and is doing important work in empowering women in navigating what can be really difficult messy situations

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Think You’re Divorcing a Narcissist? What to Do Before You Tell Them
Q: What are some really actionable tips that they can take today to prepare for this conversation?
Prepare in advance, choose a public setting, avoid doing it at home or in a car, have an exit plan, and approach the talk with a business-like mindset to minimize emotional escalation.
Shifting Perspectives: Why Are We So Afraid of Divorce?
Q: Tell us about what you're doing with Shifting Perspectives and where the idea came from?
The idea grew from recognizing how isolating divorce can feel and how social media often distorts reality; the series aims to shift our collective perspective on marriage and divorce, reduce stigma, and encourage open conversations and community support.
Shifting Perspectives: Why Are We So Afraid of Divorce?
Q: So Tamar, who are you?
I'm a breakup and divorce coach, founder of New Beginnings Breakup and Divorce Coaching, and I focus on helping people shift their beliefs about marriage and divorce to transform how they judge themselves and their experiences.
You Signed Your Divorce Decree — But Do You Actually Know What's In It? Molly Rosenblum, Esq. explains!
Q: What is one piece of advice Molly would give to someone approaching signing their decree?
Understand every word of the decree before you sign, and if anything is unclear, seek legal counsel to prevent misunderstandings and possible financial or custody issues down the line.
You Signed Your Divorce Decree — But Do You Actually Know What's In It? Molly Rosenblum, Esq. explains!
Q: What happens if circumstances change after the decree is issued, like relocation or a new partner in the picture?
Relocation provisions can be addressed before finalization or later through orders; most decrees don't automatically cover every future change, so later orders or amendments may be necessary, and life changes, such as new relationships, often require targeted adjustments.
