In this mini-episode, Kate talks about something many people experience but rarely talk about openly: when your ex ends the relationship or marriage without giving you a real reason why. This might bring up a lot of difficult feelings, and without closure, it may feel like it’s impossible for you to move on with your divorce. 

About the episode:

Kate starts off by exploring why your ex-partner might want to separate but can’t give you a reason why. She then explains why moving on is so important, even though it seems nearly impossible at the beginning. Kate finishes by sharing some actionable tips for dealing with the lack of closure, from acknowledging your feelings to getting the support you need.

Here are some of the points covered in this episode to help on your divorce journey:

  • Why your partner wants a divorce but can’t give you a real reason
  • Why it’s important to move on
  • Tips for getting closure that your ex-partner can’t provide
