Welcome to A Year and a Day, with host Jaime Davis, a board-certified family law attorney at Gaylor Hunt. In this episode, Jaime is in the hot seat as she's interviewed by special guest host Erica Rooney. Jaime shares her unique perspective on divorce, offering insights she's gained from over 24 years of experience.

Jaime discusses the most common misconceptions about divorce, including the idea that a cheating spouse means you "get everything." She also explains the one question she wishes more people would ask her and why consulting with an attorney early in the process is so crucial.

Together, Jaime and Erica delve into the importance of prenups, the surprising details of North Carolina's "alienation of affection" law, and the emotional challenges of divorce. Jaime also shares why you should never use social media during the process and how focusing on resolution—not revenge—is key to a healthier outcome. They discuss what’s behind the rising trend of "gray divorce" and how people are approaching separation differently today.

Jaime also talks about her book, "A Year and a Day: Divorce Without Destruction," which is based on episodes from the podcast.

Welcome to A Year and a Day. In this episode, Jaime Davis, a board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt, sits down with Bryan Power, creator of MyRelationshipFail.com, to discuss how a relationship crisis can be a powerful catalyst for personal and relational healing.

Bryan shares his personal story of a near-divorce experience that began with a restraining order, explaining how this "final nail in the coffin" moment became a turning point. Together, Jaime and Bryan explore Integrated Attachment Theory and its six core elements: core wounds, emotional control, needs, boundaries, communication, and behavior. Bryan explains the four main attachment styles—secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant—and why understanding them is crucial for healing.

They also discuss why some communication breakdowns happen, how to shift your mindset from blame to personal growth, and why it's so important to be willing to do the work, even if your spouse isn't. Bryan explains how focusing on yourself can lead to a brand-new, healthier relationship, whether it's with your current spouse or a new partner.

When the dust settles after divorce, what comes next for men who are left feeling lost, ashamed, or angry? In this episode, Jaime Davis sits down with Marc Azoulay, a licensed psychotherapist and founder of Men’s Therapy Online, to explore the often-overlooked emotional fallout of divorce for men. Marc shares the two most common archetypes he sees in his work—“the villain” and “the victim”—and explains how early childhood conditioning, societal expectations, and emotional isolation shape men’s post-divorce struggles.

Together, Jaime and Marc discuss why some men default to “nice guy” behavior, why communication breakdowns are so common, and how therapy, community, and honest self-reflection can lead to genuine healing. Marc also explains how he integrates psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and spirituality into his holistic approach to therapy—and why it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
