In this episode of Should We Unpack This, we’re diving into what it really looks like to move on and move forward after divorce. We unpack the lessons we had to unlearn, the surprising things we discovered about ourselves in our single era, and why neither of us felt ready—or interested—in jumping back into the dating world right away.

We also open up about where we’re at now: our current relationship status’, how our blended family dynamics are unfolding, and the biggest takeaways from our past relationships that are helping us show up as healthier, more self-aware partners today.

It’s honest, reflective, and full of the growth moments we wish someone had told us about sooner.

In part two, we’re unpacking the side of separation that doesn’t get talked about enough — the part where everyone else suddenly has feelings about your breakup.

We get into what it’s like navigating other people’s reactions, expectations, and projections… all while trying to rebuild your own life from the ground up. We talk about the moments of disassociation that show up when everything feels too big, becoming more self-aware in the aftermath, and how we slowly started piecing ourselves back together.

We also share the advice we wish people had given us — and the guidance we’d offer to anyone supporting a friend, sibling, or loved one going through a separation.

It’s honest, tender, and a reminder that the “after” is just as complicated as the goodbye.

What comes after goodbye? Part 1

In this episode, we’re unpacking the messy, emotional, and strangely quiet space that comes after a separation. The part no one really prepares you for.

We talk about the reality vs. the expectations of dividing a life you spent years building — from becoming “strangers” with someone who once felt like home, to navigating co-parenting, telling our families, and figuring out who keeps what (physically and emotionally).

It’s the in-between chapter where grief meets relief, logistics collide with feelings, and you’re learning how to move forward while still closing the door behind you.

If you’ve ever wondered what really comes after goodbye — this one’s for you.
