Episode 20 - Who Do You Talk To

In this episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey shares an inspired and heartfelt reflection on the power of having someone in your corner during a divorce. Whether you're navigating the practical or emotional aftermath, Audrey explores why talking about it—really talking about it—can be a game changer. From her own story to those of her clients, she unpacks the role of a divorce coach, the shifting societal view on marriage, and the importance of rebuilding support when old systems fall away. If you've ever felt like you're doing this alone, this episode will help you realize—you don't have to.

Introduction and Purpose of the Podcast

Audrey welcomes listeners with warmth and presence, fresh from a client session that sparked today’s conversation. She opens up about the purpose of this episode: to highlight the crucial role of support during divorce, particularly the often-overlooked benefit of having a divorce coach. She introduces BNI (Business Network International) as a networking tool that connects professionals through referrals, and shares how meaningful client stories can shape new conversations.

Role and Benefits of a Divorce Coach

Audrey explains what a divorce coach really does—and why that role can be so pivotal. A coach isn’t just a cheerleader or therapist; they’re a mirror, a reminder of how far you’ve come, and a steady hand when everything else feels uncertain. Much like how you don’t see your kids growing daily, we often miss our own growth—until someone reflects it back. Through coaching, clients gain clarity around goals like healing, custody, and co-parenting. Personal growth is lifelong, and the coach helps keep that journey grounded and intentional.

Breaking the Stigma of Divorce

The episode takes a powerful turn as Audrey challenges the societal shame around divorce. She reframes it not as a failure but as the natural end to a relationship that served its time. Drawing on cultural shifts and the evolution of women’s roles, she sheds light on why more people—especially women—are choosing their own peace and happiness. Divorce doesn’t have to mean defeat; it can be a powerful completion.

The Importance of Talking About Divorce

Audrey stresses how critical it is to talk about divorce—not just with anyone, but with someone who gets it. Friends and family may mean well but often fall short. Lawyers focus on legal logistics, not emotional healing. A divorce coach, on the other hand, is trained to hold space, guide through the messy middle, and offer true, unbiased support during the storm.

Loss of Support Networks During Divorce

The grief of divorce goes far beyond the relationship itself. Audrey compassionately speaks to the layered losses—of identity, future dreams, and support systems. Many clients feel abandoned by friends or family who don’t know how to show up. A coach helps them mourn those losses and build new, solid ground. Her insights are grounded in both lived experience and the stories of the many women she walks alongside.

Conclusion and Call to Action

Audrey wraps up with a personal reflection on her own divorce journey and the loneliness that led her to become a divorce coach. She believes in the power of having someone in your corner—someone who helps you transform “I can’t” into “I did.” She encourages listeners to reach out if they need support, or to share this podcast with someone who does. This community exists to remind you that you’re not alone, and your comeback story is already unfolding.

I know what it feels like to walk through divorce with no one to talk to—really talk to. That’s why I became a divorce coach. If you're feeling isolated or like you’re supposed to “have it all together,” I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone. There is a better, more supported way through, and I hope this episode reminded you of that. Keep showing up for yourself, and if you ever need someone to walk with you—I’m right here.
