Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes fellow podcast host, Wendy Sloane to the show. Wendy shares the insights she has learned from her divorce and explains why even a bad divorce can be a good thing!
In this episode, podcast host and former television producer Wendy Sloane joins Susan Guthrie to share her personal divorce story. She discusses the good and the bad of divorce and how she is living her best life, today.  Yes, divorce is fraught with difficulty and overwhelm. but it doesn’t have to suck. You can still have your happily ever after divorce.
Topics and Golden Nuggets include: 
Give yourself the grace of space: take your time during the divorce process, you don’t need to hire the first attorney you speak to nor do you need to hire an attorney immediately
The decisions you make about who is going to support you in your divorce and the process you choose (mediation, litigation, etc)  informs how your divorce and life after are going to unfold
Technology can be helpful, especially if there is a conflict between co-parents
What we mean when we say, “Divorce is hard when you are in it, so keep your kids out of it.”

If you are going through the hard parts of divorce right now, we hope this episode makes things a bit easier!
