The Debbie Nigro Show
Bourbon, badass women, and a bold new brand shaking up the spirits industry? Now that’s my kind of conversation! Especially during Women’s History Month.

None other than the legendary Annie Oakley—the sharpshooter and symbol of female...

I took some time on The Debbie Nigro Show this week to talk about TIME, not the magazine—though that would be fun—but the concept of time, how we use it, and about a mind-blowing new invention that’s shaking up the world of luxury watches to display time. This one’s a game-changer! I was scrolling through Instagram when I spot a post from my friend Rob Weintraub, manager of Manfredi Jewels in Greenwich, CT. Now, if you love watches—or just admire fine craftsmanship—Manfredi is the place to know about. (I know this firsthand because I was so impressed with owner...

Boosting Your Wellness with Collagen: A Chat with Cynthia Mancuso on The Debbie Nigro Show If you've been curious about collagen and whether it actually works, my latest chat on The Debbie Nigro Show is just for you!

Valentine’s Week is all about love, but let’s be real, love doesn’t always go as planned. And when it doesn’t, social media can make things way worse (like Exhibit A in court worse).
That’s why I brought in Jill Spielberg, partner in charge of the Family and Matrimonial Law Department at Abrams-Fensterman LLP, to drop some major truth bombs about social media and divorce—what not to do, what could cost you in court, and even how to protect your kids.
Biggest Takeaway? STOP POSTING!
According to Jill, the best thing you can do during a divorce is take a social media hiatus. That vacation selfie? That vent session about your soon-to-be-ex? That new relationship post? All of it can be used against you. Even “friends” might not be real friends when emotions run high.
A few ways social media can totally backfire:
*Posting about your amazing new life while claiming you can’t afford child support
*Sharing party pics that could be used in a custody battle
*Saying anything negative about your ex—your kids might see it, too!
The Flip Side: Can Social Media Help During a Divorce?
Not really, says Jill. But if you must post, make it positive—like supporting your co-parent’s achievements. Otherwise, keep the drama offline.
Why Divorce Hits Hard During Valentine’s Week
January is known as Divorce Month, but February can be brutal too. While stores are overflowing with hearts and candy, many people are struggling through heartbreak. If that’s you, know this: You are not alone.
ill’s pro tip for avoiding divorce in the first place? APPRECIATION.
The #1 reason couples split isn’t money or infidelity—it’s feeling unappreciated. Let that sink in.
A Personal Story of Divorce
Years ago, my daughter, an only child of divorce, always swore someday she'd have her own house and host every single holiday so she’d never have to “choose” between parents on a holiday again.
Well, fast forward, and guess what? My ex-husband, his current wife, his former wife after me, her current husband, myself and my significant other, all these years later actually granted my daughter her wish. Here we are all sitting together at one big happy holiday table this year. Now that’s growth!
If you’re navigating divorce (or know someone who is), this episode is a must-listen.
Enjoy this full conversation with Jill Spielberg. She’s an award-winning attorney who focuses on high-net-worth divorces, high-conflict custody cases, and prenuptial agreements.
