About this listen

Beyond the House isn’t just about what happens to the home; it’s about what happens to you.


Hosted by Jody Bruns, founder of the Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) program and nationally recognized as The Divorce Mortgage Authority, this podcast goes deeper than property division. It’s a space for faith-filled guidance, financial clarity, and emotional recovery during and after divorce.


Whether you’re navigating the loss of a marriage, trying to protect your home and future stability, or simply craving hope and practical direction, you belong here.


Each episode tackles real questions like:


• Can I keep the house, and should I?
• What happens to the mortgage, equity, or credit during divorce?
• How do I rebuild my life, faith, and finances after everything changed?


With over 35 years in the mortgage industry, lived experience, and a heart grounded in faith, Jody blends professional insight with personal compassion to help you move from broken to rebuilt, with clarity, strategy, and grace.


Because in Jody’s words:


“Grace is not a weakness, it’s a strategy. Clarity is how you see the path. Strategy is how you walk it.”


You’ll also hear from experts in law, real estate, finance, and emotional wellness, as well as real people sharing their own healing journeys.

    Breaking the Quiet – Finding Strength in Faith Through Divorce
    Jun 4 2025

    Breaking the Quiet – Finding Strength in Faith Through Divorce” on Beyond the House: Clarity, Strategy, and Grace After Divorce with Jody Bruns:

    In this deeply personal and faith-filled episode, Jody Bruns steps out from behind the strategy and into the sacred. “Breaking the Quiet – Finding Strength in Faith Through Divorce” isn’t about the legal or financial side of divorce—it’s about what comes after. The silent battles. The sleepless nights. The whispered prayers.

    For the first time, Jody shares the untold story of her own healing—the quiet moments of music, scripture, and surrender that anchored her in the middle of chaos. You’ll hear how her faith became her foundation, how she navigated shame, motherhood, and rebuilding, and why she wrote Anchored in Faith: A 40-Day Devotional Journey Through Divorce.

    Whether you’re in the storm or slowly stepping out of it, this episode offers more than encouragement. It offers companionship. Perspective. And peace.

    Because sometimes, God doesn’t calm the storm.
    Sometimes… He calms His child.
