A Blonde A Brunette and a Mic

Have you ever sat across from someone you've shared decades with and realized you're about to begin again, at fifty-plus? That's the heart of today's episode, where we, Michele and Julee, strip back the layers of 'gray divorce'. It's not just a statistic; it's a journey many are walking, including us. We tackle the emotional maze and financial knots that come with parting ways later in life. The conversation spans from the unique challenges women often face in these splits to how technology and societal changes have reshaped marriage's longevity.
Navigating the aftermath of a long-term marriage is no small feat, and we get real about the impact this seismic shift has on everyone involved, kids included. From the delicate task of building a new normal to the potential personal growth and self-discovery on the other side of divorce, we're sharing our stories and those of others who've found the courage to chase happiness, even when it means starting over. This episode is a blend of candid reflections and supportive insights, complete with our own brand of humor to lighten the weight of these life-altering decisions.
We wrap things up by discussing the unconventional paths some couples take, like cohabitating without romance, and why honest communication is the linchpin of any marriage. As we chat about the importance of check-ins and owning one's role in a relationship's breakdown, our personal anecdotes and light-hearted banter promise to keep you company through this deep dive into the complexities of divorce at a later stage in life.
