Social media during divorce recovery. Rachel says be smart and I say don’t do it - take a break. It never turns out well, most of the time. So many people have an opinion on social media and divorce. I have heard of instances where social media can be used in a divorce proceeding. So, buyer beware!

You make the decision - what will you feel comfortable with? The ball is in your court.

Well, it is another interesting podcast by the two of us. Owning your sh*t encompasses so much. We mainly came from the way of it’s ok not to be ok. You are going through some epic sh*t for the first time and how you react at first might not be the best reaction, but you learn over time and adjust accordingly. Our other point is everyone is not your friend and everyone doesn’t need to remain friends with you. If it is a struggle to keep some friends, maybe they need to go. Only you know for sure - and can act accordingly. Just two parts to owning your sh*t!

Topics discussed:

It’s ok to say

Object permanence

Time to cleanse your friend list

You want everybody to like you

Life is dynamic

Live by hope

Make it simple

Baby steps

Poke the bear?

I’m ok being the villain in your story

Am I watching Dexter?

Friends vs family

No f*cks button

Helping people you don’t know

Delete, delete

Do better

We always digress

Talking Heads

Call that friends that is no matter what
