Episode 5: Divorce’s Ripple: Midlife Healing, Blended Families, and Finding Your Tribe

Midlife Healing & Healing in Community

A confession, a catharsis, and a roadmap for anyone who’s ever felt the ground disappear beneath their feet. Kim opens up about growing up around divorce, losing her mother, and how those early stories planted a vision of love she chased into adulthood—through a too-fast first marriage, a second marriage defined by control and narcissism, and finally a partnership that feels like home. Along the way, she tells the unvarnished truth about shame, smear campaigns, and the exhausting work of proving your character to people who never asked you directly. We dig into the ripple effects: how divorce reshapes friendships, splits extended families, and complicates school events and celebrations.
