The Worst Divorce Advice on Social Media—And What You Need to Know Instead on Divorce & Beyond #382

Social media can be an incredible space for support and connection, but when it comes to divorce, it’s also packed with advice that sounds empowering but can actually do real damage. In this solo episode, Susan Guthrie breaks down some of the most viral (and misleading) divorce tips making the rounds on TikTok, Instagram, and beyond. And, shares what you really need to know instead.

With more than 35 years of experience as a top divorce attorney and mediator, Susan cuts through the noise to expose what’s myth and what’s smart strategy. Whether it’s the temptation of a $99 DIY divorce, the urge to vent online, or slapping labels on your ex, Susan helps you sidestep the traps and make choices that truly support your future.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• Why even friendly divorces need legal review, because templates aren’t enough
• The real risks of social media announcements and glow-up posts
• Why labeling your ex a narcissist can backfire in court
• How hiding assets + oversharing on social media can blow up your entire case
