The road through divorce was not easy and was filled with moments of pain and uncertainty. But in my daughters’ eyes, I saw strength, wisdom, and the courage to keep moving forward.

In this episode with my daughters, Diara and Danielle, we explore the impact of divorce and the lessons we’ve learned about love, marriage, and family. Together, we reflect on the challenges we’ve faced, the personal growth we've experienced, and how our perspectives on relationships have evolved since the ending of my marriage to their father.
