Kaylin & Healing Attachement Styles - Ep. 11

Kaylin and I met in high school. Over the years we've stayed in touch as casual high school friends do... social media. I saw that she had gotten married and when I posted about Good Girls Get Divorced, she replied to me with the kindest, most encouraging message sharing a bit about her divorce. She was kind enough to share with me the story of her marriage, divorce and the absolutely impressive amount of self awareness and care work she's done for herself over the last few years. Thank you, Kaylin for sharing your story in such a vulnerable and empowering way.

Learning How To Take Up Space - Ep. 10

Join us as we explore how I lost a bit of my sparkle both in church and in marriage. We talk about some verses that set the stage for the construction of a Good Christian and a Good Wife and how that was harmful to my marriage. I talk about several books in this episode, linked below.

Snorkle Gets Out - Ep. 9

My guest today wishes to remain anonymous and goes by the name Snorkle. She was homeschooled and raised with purity culture as a central theme in her life. In return for her purity, she was promised a great marriage.
She did everything she was told, married the first boy who "courted" her, and was divorced at 22. Listen on to hear her tell her dramatic story.
Although the scars make us stronger, they are also very real, and dangerous.

The Purity Prosperity Gospel - Ep. 8

Let’s talk purity and the promises made to women in the church. We were promised magical, beautiful sex lives in return for staying emotionally, mentally and physically pure. Unfortunately these promises are about as empty as a televangelist promising great riches in exchange for your donation of $10.99 a month.

Corrine’s Frenemy Gives Her a Reality Check - Ep. 6

Corrine tells her story of getting married at age 19, navigating her way through the church of England as a youth pastor, and lessons she learned from her marriage.
Corrine is Carol's daughter (episode 2) and we are able to hear a bit about her background of how she perceived her parent's marriage and it's impact on her. Hint - Carol raised her girls to be independent and incredibly strong.

Tina Finds Herself - Ep. 5

Tina grew up in a conservative Jewish family. Her biggest act of rebellion in her teen years was marrying her husband who her father disapproved of. Tina tells her story of breaking free of both her childhood ties and her marriage ties as she learned and grew.

Beth Gets Her Sign - Ep. 4

Welcome back to Good Girls Get Divorced - a podcast featuring women who were never "supposed" to get divorced, but had to anyway.
In today's episode, Beth shares her story of getting divorced, twice. The first time ended well: difficult, of course, but remaining friends, on good terms. Marriage was not a sullied term.
The second time, as the years crept by and the warning signs seeped in, at what point do you recognize that it's not how it's supposed to be? That, "This is not love"?
Through abandonment, emotional abuse, a concussion: Beth persevered, until it was clear that things had to change. Today she shares her story of personal growth and empowerment.

Divorce Saved my Life - Ep. 3

Good Girls Get Divorced
This week I heard a TedX talk by a well meaning guy who's been married for 20+ years. He talks about how "marriage isn't 50/50, its 100/100", how we shouldn't threaten divorce and how commitment is underrated. I talk about how none of these things are the actual problem.
Divorce saved my life, and yet it was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made.
Good Girls Get Divorced, and divorce isn't a dirty word.
