Welcome to a special season of A Fresh Story Podcast: The Divorce Announcement Season. This season is co-produced by Divorce.com; Divorce.com offers a streamlined path through divorce that helps couples avoid unnecessary conflict and costs. 

On this episode of The Divorce Announcement Season, we talked to mom, writer, and professor Kelly McMasters. Kelly McMasters, author of The Leaving Season, discusses her experience with divorce and how she announced it to the world. She shares that her book served as her divorce announcement, as the process was prolonged and gradually revealed to different people. Kelly emphasizes the importance of keeping the announcement respectful and focused on one's own perspective. She also highlights the power of sharing and finding support from others who have experienced divorce or loss. Kelly's advice is to be open and not be ashamed, as it helps in moving forward and feeling less alone.
