Welcome to our special episode, where we dive deep into the realities of navigating separation, divorce, and single parenthood. Today, we have a panel of three courageous guest speakers (Lauren Campbell, Thuy Dam, and Victoria Hashiguchi) who I personally know, are openly sharing their experiences, shedding light on a topic that is all too common in many marriages and relationships. We are grateful for their vulnerability, as they reveal the sides of this journey that often go unspoken, yet are crucial for understanding and supporting those facing similar challenges.
In this candid conversation, we aim to break the stigma surrounding separation and divorce, encouraging open and honest dialogue to lessen feelings of loneliness during difficult life experiences like this. Together, we'll explore how the grass can indeed be greener on the other side, as these resilient parents share their stories of growth, healing, and finding new paths after their life-changing event.
