200 episodes of honest, hopeful conversations about divorce – here are the moments that stayed with us.

To mark our 200th episode, we're looking back at some of the conversations that have meant the most – to us and to you. From day one, The Divorce Podcast has been part of amicable's mission to change the way people separate, making divorce kinder, fairer and a little less lonely. This special episode brings together the honest, funny and moving moments that capture exactly why we do it.

In this episode, you'll hear from:

  • Ella Kenion – on co-parenting, and why the thought of an ex meeting someone new can still sting
  • Emma Campbell – on the emotional weight of single parenting
  • Emma Reed Turrell – on the difference between kindness and people pleasing
  • Hal Cruttenden – on how hard many men find it to open up
  • Jonathan Fitter-Harding – on the day-to-day reality of 'nesting' and co-parenting with kindness
  • Ebele Okobi – on grief, growth and an unexpected reconciliation

This episode is for anyone navigating separation who could use a reminder that they're not alone – and a lovely place to start if you're new to the podcast.

So many of you have told us how much the podcast has helped over the years, and that means everything. If someone you know might need it too, please share this episode with them.

Trigger warning: This episode touches on themes that some people might find distressing, including serious illness, bereavement and times of low mood. If you're affected by anything discussed, you can call Samaritans free on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
