The EXexperts: How To Deal with Divorce as a Woman
Divorce sucks no matter how you cut it.
But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Take it from best friends Jessica Klingbaum and T.H. Irwin.
Marrying and getting divorced around the same time, they supported each other through the process and vowed to help other women going through the same journey.
Tune in to this episode on The EXexperts: How To Deal with Divorce as a Woman with Jessica & T.H.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️Don’t buy into social media. Pretty vacation snaps and huge smiles online can be a mask. T.H. Irwin shares that her “Facebook facade” was there to hide the crumbling state of her then-marriage.
✔️Foster a peaceful atmosphere. The impact of divorce on children all depends on how you respond to the situation. Kick the victim mentality and the pity parties. Carry yourself with grace and self-control.
✔️Kids can sense everything. They are receptive to our body language, our energies, and even the divorce. If you’re about to have an emotional outburst or engage in an intense conversation with your ex, make sure your kids aren’t around.
✔️Different divorces have a common thread. What ties them all is fear. We’re afraid of the unknown, of the future that lies after the separation. But no matter what, continue to empower yourself. You can still be a beacon of self-respect and integrity.
✔️Be resilient. You can control your own destiny. Will you continue to beat yourself up for what happened? Or will you push forward stronger and better than ever? You decide.
✔️Never sacrifice anything to save the relationship. You can’t fix people.
But you can definitely decide what you’re going to do next after knowing them more. Stop sacrificing your non-negotiables and counting on potential. Say no to half measures.
Jessica Klingbaum and T.H. Irwin are two best friends who got divorced at the same time. Although they had completely different experiences, they were lucky enough to have each other through it all. Rising from the lack of resources, support, and information during their separate journeys, along with the desire to help others maneuver through the process, they created The exExperts online community, and ultimately, they are your reality check. They are an honest, encouraging, and positive space for everybody at any stage of divorce. While there isn't a “right way” to divorce, the exExperts can help you find your way.
T.H. Irwin is a mom of three, happily divorced, and living her best life at 50. She has a special “girl gang,” a wonderful family, and an amazing boyfriend. She surrounds herself with people who encourage, productively challenge, support, love unconditionally, and teach her something new.
Jessica Klingbaum is a recovering Emmy-nominated TV producer, always moving faster than the speed of light, and always with a smile on her face. She’s pushing 50, raising two teenagers, and fully embracing her happily divorced status.
