  • Terrific Divorce Social listen with Arabella Weir

    So insightful. Great contrast between Weir’s observations on her own life and the life so much of society still expects us to want. Thank you both.

  • Diverse and interesting stories

    Loved the latest episode with listener Lucy!

    I related to this one a lot, especially in finding the podcast as a source of support. It’s a very open and helpful conversation.

    It’s great to hear so much diversity in the stories - many people with different backgrounds and upbringings which helps to educate about all the nuances of divorce.

    Thank you Sam!

  • Wish I’d found this podcast sooner!

    After seeing a post on Ria Lina’s Instagram about the episode she recently attended, I decided to give it a listen. Everything Ria talked about resonated with me massively. I got married in Feb 2022, received my adhd/Austin diagnoses a few months later, separated from my husband on Feb 2023, and currently going through the divorce process. I just wish I’d found this podcast sooner but happy to have stumbled upon it now :)
