It’s a stark reality that divorce and separation are a huge talking point in midlife – chances are, if you’re not going through one yourself, you know at least a handful of people who are.
Even if you’re the one who made the big decision (and in 65% of marriages, it’s a female partner who starts the process), it’s inevitably a draining time. Alongside the heartbreak can come an avalanche of practical concerns, from money and living arrangements to co-parenting and legal paperwork. It’s no wonder so many people feel overwhelmed before they’ve even begun.
That’s why we invited Kate Daly, founder of amicable and one of the UK’s leading experts on divorce, separation and relationship change, onto Second Act Unpacked, our new podcast – basically the nerdy little sister to our main Second Act pod. In each episode, we speak to an expert to take a deep dive into a particular burning midlife topic, from money to menopause.
On this episode of Unpacked, Kate discusses the realities of modern divorce, why so many people feel stuck when relationships end, and how removing shame and stigma can make the process easier for everyone involved.
Whether you’re navigating a breakup yourself, supporting a friend through one, or simply interested in the changing landscape of modern relationships, we hope this episode of Unpacked offers reassuring, practical advice from someone who’s been there, done that – and helped thousands of people through one of life’s most challenging transitions too.
