  • 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!!
