Can women actually be divorced and happy? For some reason, being divorced and happy, especially for a woman, seems like it's mutually exclusive. I will not make the claim that all women are divorced and happy, but I can confidently say that any woman who gets divorced for the right reasons can be - and most likely is - divorced and happy.
Our culture abhors divorce. Our culture also abhors a free-thinking, independent woman because she is seen as rebellious and unsubmissive. You already know my thoughts on submission, right? Divorce is difficult on all counts, and the decision to get one should not be made lightly or easily.
Today's episode is a special request. A listener asked that I answer the question of whether a woman can be divorced and happy. Naturally, I have used myself as an example. In this episode, I also made references to my marriage, and how it ended, and as promised in the podcast, here's the link to read the full story about how my marriage ended. Quite honestly, I'm so glad that I have this link to refer to because it would be exhausting to tell this story over and over.
If you are a woman in the middle of a divorce or planning to get divorced or thinking about getting divorced, I understand the situation you're in, but I want you to know that there is so much life after divorce, and I hope that this episode lights a fire in your belly and calms your unrest.
If anyone ever has a special request for an episode or a blog post, please reach out to me, and I'll be happy to provide any and all information on the topic if I have it. This episode also includes a special announcement about the podcast. Please listen to find out more, and let me know your thoughts when you're done.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
