Kids & Divorce - Part 1: Disadvantages and Benefits (With Quinn Otrera from The Post-Divorce Glow-up Show)

Episode 30: Hey loves! Grab a cozy blanket, a warm cup, and settle in—because this episode is a soul‑to‑soul chat I’m having with my bestie, Quinn Otrera (yes, that Quinn from The Post‑Divorce Glow‑Up Show podcast). We’re unpacking the question that crushes so many hearts: Will divorce ruin my kids’ lives? 💔👶What We’re Diving Into:Our raw fears—I’ll tell you how terrified I was that my kids would crumble emotionally, fall behind in school, or feel untethered without their “normal.” We each share those late-night whispers we hated hearing.Where those fears come from—the silent stories society taught us about “broken homes.” We challenge the word ruin, because in reality, life is more complex, more nuanced, and often, more beautiful than we fear. 🌈✨How our kids actually navigated it—Spoiler alert: there were challenging days, but also moments of resilience, growth, joy, and profound connection that surprised us in the best ways.Hope that’s messy and real—yes, divorce brings change, but that doesn't equal devastation. We talk about how even in overwhelm, love finds ways to show up stronger than ever.Why You NEED to Hear This:If you’re sitting with that fear of hurting your kids by choosing divorce, this episode is your permission slip to walk gently into that fear—without shame, without pretending you’re unbreakable. You’ll hear from two real women who still wrestle with the unknown—and still believe in the strength of the heart.Lean In With Us:This is Part 1 of our series, and it’s just the beginning of unpacking the sacred and shadowy truths of parenting through splits, healing through transitions, and thriving despite broken expectations.So let me love on you through this episode. Let’s collect the whispers of hard-won grace and hope together.With heart-full stories, fierce compassion, and radical hope— Britta 💖Show Notes:For Better or For Worse: Divorce Reconsidered - E.
