Let’s Talk About Divorce: How To Be a Good Friend and How To Survive and Thrive After a Divorce

Shayna and Tracey welcome divorce journalist Ilyssa Panitz, who shares how going through her own divorce during COVID-19 convinced her to change the course of her life and begin her work helping others going through the same thing. Ilyssa explains why you shouldn’t always “stay together for the kids” and why getting through the hard times begins with finding your “team.”  Plus, how can you be a good friend to a girlfriend going through a divorce? And how do you know when to talk about the divorce and when not to?  Ilyssa also explains why divorce can actually benefit our kids by teaching them that we all deserve second chances.  Follow Ilyssa Panitz on Twitter.   Read more of Ilyssa Panitz’s work on Medium.com.
