This week Nadine invited Hillory on the pod to talk about divorce - she said yes, as long as what we could actually talk about was love <3 For Hillory, they are one in the same.
Hillory Tenute is a First Nations leader, advocate, entrepreneur, founder of Lodge Consulting, beader, auntie, and dog mom whose approach to relationships will genuinely make you rethink everything you think you know about what it means when something ends. Yes, this conversation is about divorce, but not the kind you're probably imagining. No villain. No blowup. Just two people who loved each other enough to stop.
Coming from a family where you don't just "throw people away", Hillory knew that when she realized she no longer wanted to be married, the work was in figuring out how to separate but remain connected. To, essentially, end well.
In this episode, Hillory tells us about the surgery that shifted things and what it felt like to finally say the sentence out loud. The night Mike's things were gone and she was alone in a house that no longer felt like hers. How it felt to explore her sexuality, and what it actually looks like to build a life that's fully, unapologetically yours - the new apartment, the solo trip to Europe, her Margie era, a new app (Matchee Matchee) and the new love she wasn't looking for.
If you've ever loved someone you had to let go, this conversation is for you. It's warm and honest, a little bit funny and a lot bit true x
