Episode 023 - 100 First Dates—The Dating Sequel
5/24/2022
On today's episode of The Divorce Tribe Podcast (Episode 023: 100 First Dates—The Dating Sequel) I talk about when dating when things start getting serious—when you start going steady, when you wear each other's letterman jacket, when you enter an exclusive relationship.
My goal this episode is to share my experience with relationships post-divorce, and what I have learned when things start getting serious. I talk about some tips for when you start getting into relationships and hopefully how those tips can help you navigate the agony and ecstasy of relationships post-divorce.

Episode 022: Divorce Portrayal (Or is it Betrayal) in Pop Culture
3/8/2022
On today's episode of The Divorce Tribe Podcast (Episode 022: Divorce Portrayal (or is it Betrayal) in Pop Culture) I talk about how divorce is portrayed in pop culture—mainly movies and books.
My goal this episode is to share how TV shows and Movies have altered our view of divorce and what we can learn from those depictions while also avoiding perceptions that are wildly inaccurate. In all reality, as I researched this week's topic, I was able to find truths in even the most asinine movies that involve divorce or coparenting, such as Liar Liar and Mrs. Doubtfire, but there are also movies that portray the despair and struggles of divorce so accurately that it can be triggering.

Episode 021: If I Could Turn Back Time - Forgiveness in Divorce
2/22/2022
On today's episode of The Divorce Tribe Podcast (Episode 021: If I Could Turn Back Time - Forgiveness in Divorce) I talk about that illusive principle of forgiveness. This was a difficult one to research and create because of the complexities associated with forgiveness but also because of how intensely personal the forgiveness process can be for each individual.
My goal this episode is to talk about whether forgiveness is always necessary, how people can seek forgiveness for the actions they committed, forgiveness from a religious perspective, and finally--how we can work toward forgiving someone who wronged us. Ultimately, forgiveness can be an important part of the healing process, but it is deeply personal and should come in your own timeframe.

I'm going to enjoy it on the years that I have my kids and the years that I don't have my kids.
My goal this episode is to help you realize that even when dealing with unanticipated divorce and struggles, Christmas can still be a magical time--a time when you can create new traditions even as life looks different than how you pictured it.
