Good Girls Get Divorced

I’m Emily. I was raised with the belief that Divorce was a dirty word. That if you said THAT WORD your marriage was somehow compromised. Despite not saying it, I still found myself in a situation where either my marriage was going to die or I was going to. I chose to end my marriage. When I looked around, I found that many other Evangelical or Exvangelical women were also feeling silo’d in their experience. This podcast aims to change that. Listen to stories of women who have recovered from their divorce as they share stories of surviving purity culture, marriage, betrayal, separation and recovery.

    Children and Divorce - Ep. 21

    I don't like to put too much attention on my kids in this podcast; my experience with divorce is much different from theirs. They have their own relationship with their dad and it's important to not project my own history onto theirs. However, the fact that I have kids and am now a single mother is an integral part of the story, that can't be ignored completely. The kids have gone through a massive, existential change in their lives over the past year and the impact on them has to be acknowledged. I wanted to take the time today to talk about how we as a family have adapted to divorce, the change in routine, new schedules, new realities: and the emotions therein. Above all, the key thing to emphasize from this episode is communication. Keep your kids informed, include them in decisions. Use your judgement to make sure they know what they need to know.

    The Biggest Fear Came True - Feeling Alone After Divorce & What I’m Doing About It - Ep. 19

    This episode might be a little raw. I recorded it late at night without my normal podcasty getup. But it's honest. When I was thinking about getting a divorce I was worried that I would end up alone. And in some ways, I have. In this episode I talk about my big fear of dying alone... And what I'll do in the meantime. Thanks for listening. Please rate, review and subscribe to get the word out. Love you, dear Good Girls.

    Alex Finds Freedom - Ep. 17

    Alex was raised and married in a fundamentalist Christian cult. She wasn’t allowed to cut her hair, wear pants, or engage in culture outside of church. She and her spouse bravely made the decision to leave the church 8 years ago. Post deconstruction she found a new career (twice!), rediscovered joy and recovered from divorce.  Her story is inspirational to me for so many reasons. Thanks for listening.
