How to Split a Toaster: A Divorce Podcast About Saving Your Relationships

Winning Your Divorce with the exExperts T.H. Irwin and Jessica Klingbaum
Two friends who ended up getting divorced at the same time, Jessica and T.H. were frustrated as they tried finding a single source for help with divorce. That pushed them to start up their new company exExperts. There, along with their own podcast Divorce Etc..., they give people going through divorce and people figuring out how to survive and thrive after divorce advice on how to make it easier. But what does ‘winning your divorce’ mean? It doesn’t necessarily mean what you think.

They talk with Seth and Pete about learning to get through your divorce and build the future you’re wanting. To get there, it’s learning to navigate your life during the divorce process. Knowing you have the right lawyer is huge, but there’s also amazing power in your social support. They talk about the struggles people have to break through the shame around divorce. But it’s not just the shame – it’s the negative space you get lost in. People get so caught up in the vindictiveness, they lose track of what’s important. 

They also tell us about their free upcoming virtual summit on May 10th-11th, 2023, called WIN YOUR DIVORCE that they’re doing with previous guest Tracy Coenen. It’s a wide-ranging conversation full of great advice.
