In this heartfelt episode of Dishing on Divorce, Mandy and Deanna get real about one of the most personal and challenging parts of divorce: the emotional weight of shame and blame. From neighborhood parties that feel like the walk of shame to well-meaning comments that linger for years, they unpack the hidden narratives we tell ourselves—and how to rewrite them.
They share personal stories, including mom guilt, generational wounds, and the journey to self-acceptance. You'll also hear about the healing tools that helped them shift from pain to power: mindfulness, journaling, reframing thoughts, and reconnecting with the present moment.
Plus, don't miss the announcement of their upcoming live event with Dr. Thomas Jordan in NYC—and why they believe divorce is not a failure, but a chance to begin again with clarity and courage.
