Some weeks, it all bubbles over—and this was one of them. In this emotional, unfiltered, and deeply personal episode of The Weekly Wrap-Up, sisters Olivia Howell and Genevieve Dreizen unpack a week full of professional friction, single mom milestones, and the aching beauty of watching your child graduate when life hasn’t gone to plan. Olivia shares the vulnerable experience of sitting solo at her son’s graduation—reflecting on how far they've come since the early, uncertain days of her divorce—and the overwhelming gratitude she feels for the teachers and support systems that helped carry them through.
But it’s not all tears and tissues. The sisters pull no punches in their fiery takedown of gatekeeping in the divorce coaching industry, challenging misinformation and defending the importance of kindness in professional spaces. Their candid discussion—sparked by a particularly condescending Facebook exchange—evolves into a powerful meditation on regulation, integrity, and the unseen labor of women who dare to claim space. And somehow, through it all, there's room for fireflies, Marco Polo shoutouts, and a whole lot of laughter.
This episode is a testament to the magic of staying soft while standing your ground. Whether you’re parenting solo, rebuilding your life, or just trying to make it through another exhausting June, you’ll find yourself nodding along—and probably crying too. This one’s for the moms with tear-streaked cheeks, overfilled hearts, and unmatched strength.
