Divorce asks people to do two very difficult things at the same time.

You may be grieving the loss of a relationship, a future you expected to have, and the family structure you once knew — while also being asked to make decisions about money, parenting, housing, schedules, and the practical details of separating two lives.

So where does healing fit into all of this?

That is the question Susan Regan explores with returning #SoRelatable guest Robert Terris, JD, MFT, an attorney, therapist, and...

Most couples don’t arrive at a difficult moment with a clear plan.

They arrive overwhelmed.

One person may want to stay together. The other may be unsure. They may be arguing constantly, barely speaking, talking about separation, worried about their children, or simply exhausted from trying to figure out what to do.

And underneath all of that is often one very practical question:

What happens now?

That is where having one place to begin can make a meaningful difference.

When relationships feel tense, distant, or overwhelming, many people try to solve the problem through conversation alone.

But without nervous system safety, meaningful connection often isn’t possible.

In this episode of the #SoRelatable Podcast, I’m joined by Mos Jef, a somatic practitioner and EFT tapping facilitator, to explore how regulation, presence, and embodiment create the conditions for connection — both individually and relationally.

Think long-term love should be easier by now? You’re not alone. For many couples, 15+ years of shared history can lead to emotional fatigue, conflict cycles, and disconnection. But there’s hope.

Should We Stay Together—for the Kids?

A New Way to Answer One of the Hardest Questions You’ll Ever Face 

If you’re asking this question, you’re not alone—and you’re not failing.

It’s one of the most agonizing crossroads any parent can face. You love your children, and you want to protect them. But your relationship with your partner feels broken, distant, or downright hostile. So what do you do?

Stay—so your kids don’t grow up in a “broken home”?

Leave—so they don’t grow up watching conflic...

Are you feeling trapped in your relationship, constantly putting your partner's needs above your own? You might be in a co-dependent relationship. Co-dependency can be subtle, but its effects can be profound, leading to feelings of resentment, low self-esteem, and emotional exhaustion. To help you identify whether you're in a co-dependent relationship, here are ten common signs to watch out for:

1. Difficulty Setting Boundaries:

You struggle to assert your own needs and boundaries, often sacr...

I get a lot of people asking me to help them with the fallout of divorce. 

The traditional model of how one gets divorced creates so much tension. We’re given a model to become estranged from a person we might have been with for decades. This is a way community and family can feel comfortable -- if we truly separate. We shouldn’t care for (let alone still love in some way), talk to, or be friends with that person again.
