This episode takes you through the many faces of divorce, from celebrity breakups to new ways of parting peacefully. It begins with Cardi B and Offset, a couple whose split made headlines for its mix of love, drama, and public attention. Then comes Gwyneth Paltrow, whose “conscious uncoupling” with Chris Martin changed how people talk about separation. We unpack what that phrase means and why it sparked so much debate.

From there, the story moves to Scott Wolf and Kelly, and then to comedian Gary Owen, showing how each couple faced their own version of letting go. The episode shifts from the emotional side to the practical, explaining what collaborative divorce is and how financial neutrals and collaborative law organizations help couples move forward with less bitterness.

Before we wrap up, there is a quick discussion on “Soonicorns” in dating, a modern twist on relationships and expectations. The episode closes with ways to reach out if you want to learn more or talk about your own situation.
