About this episode

As we head into the holiday season, you might be feeling like you're hanging on by a thread, holding it together for the family, and wondering if you might be ready to get a divorce. 

There's a reason January is called 'Divorce Month'. Once you get through the holidays, you're ready to start asking yourself the hard questions about your relationship and decide if you are going to keep trying, or end it. 

In this episode, I'm breaking down the Top Ten reasons for divorce, and what lies behind each of them. 

If you're on the fence in your relationship, or you're wondering if you made the right decision to end it, this episode is for you. 

Please share this with women in your life who need to hear it. And if you would be so kind as to subscribe that would really help get this podcast out to those who need it!
