Often laden with cultural taboos and societal pressures, divorce—especially within communities of color—is often shrouded in silence and stigma. So, in this week’s episode of Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by divorce and relationship confidence coach Monica Kalra to deconstruct divorce within cultural contexts.
The founder of Revorce, a term coined by Monica to mean ‘to revive, reclaim, and reset before and after divorce’, Monica was inspired by her own story of re-harnessing her personal power, exiting an abusive relationship, and reconstructing her own confidence and life. Now, she coaches women to rise from the ashes of victimhood, and guides them through cultural stigmas. That aside, she has authored two insightful books, ‘How Do You Know He’s The One?’ and ‘How To Heal From A Toxic Relationship’.
In this episode, Monica breaks down the various stages of going through a divorce, and shares poignant anecdotes from her own experience that was accompanied by the distress from disapproval of family and friends. She then offers advice on overcoming divorce, especially when contending against cultural expectations.
Together, Marie and Monica share candid conversations and personal reflections that shed light on the stigma of divorce across cultures. So, tune in for an engaging discussion that encompasses divorce and its intersection with tradition, religion, and identity.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
