The Other Side of Divorce Author Interviews Part 1

In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing three authors of “The Other Side of Divorce: Breakups That Lead to Breakthroughs.” I speak with Mary Ann Hughes, Amy Danielle Taylor, and Rosalind Sedacca. We explore why they contributed to the book, the lessons they learned through their divorce, and the words of wisdom they would like to share with other women at any stage of the divorce process.

Tune in to hear from the authors, consider a different way to experience divorce, and why sharing how divorce can positively impact your life is so important.
