In this episode, Mardi Winder sits down with Dr. Becky Whetstone for an honest and down-to-earth chat about what really happens when a marriage is on the rocks. Dr. Becky Whetstone, who’s open about her own history of four marriages, shares her personal story, full of ups, downs, and real-life lessons. She explains how her own tough experiences pushed her to become a therapist dedicated to helping others through the messier moments of relationships and divorce. They talk about that crucial moment when someone in a marriage makes the call to stay or go, and how those first reactions can set the tone for everything that follows. Dr. Becky offers practical advice on how to figure out whether your marriage still has a chance, and she’s clear about the situations, like abuse or infidelity, when it’s time to walk away for good.  The conversation covers what happens emotionally when divorce starts looming, and the ways people can get stuck in “divorce fantasy” thinking. Throughout, both Mardi and Dr. Becky stress how important it is not to rush, but instead to make thoughtful decisions, especially for families with kids. Listeners get plenty of straightforward, compassionate tips for handling everything from those tricky first conversations to staying calm in the chaos. It’s a genuine look at the realities of divorce, filled with hope that even hard endings can be managed with care, honesty, and respect.  More about Mardi: Mardi Winder-Adams is a certified divorce transition and high-conflict divorce coach, with experience as a domestic violence client advocate and behavioral consultant for schools.

Getting back into the dating world after divorce can be a scary process, but it doesn’t have to be. Today, Mardi Winder sits down with Ry Duong to explore Ry’s remarkable story of resilience, healing, and empowerment after leaving an unhealthy marriage and coping with profound personal loss.  Ry shares her unique background, tracing her journey from a Thai refugee camp after her family fled the Cambodian genocide to building a life in Canada. She explains how the loss of her sister to depression, paired with the end of a long marriage, became the turning point that inspired her to create Eternal Love, a company dedicated to helping singles find love and confidence. Ry and Mardi talk candidly about the experience of rediscovering yourself after divorce, and the importance of choosing happiness, which Ry explores further in her new book. They discuss the challenge of losing your identity in a relationship, especially when cultural expectations encourage self-sacrifice, and how self-acceptance and unconditional love begin with being kind to yourself, flaws and all. The conversation covers practical ways of setting healthy boundaries and recognizing personal tendencies, such as over-giving, especially in the context of new relationships after divorce. Ry offers thoughtful advice on distinguishing between accepting a partner’s imperfections and excusing harmful behavior, emphasizing self-awareness and non-negotiable values.  Listen in to find out more about loving yourself, loving others, and finding a partner that is aligned with what you are looking for in your next relationship.  About the Guest: Ry Duong is the Founder of EternaLove and Author of Choose You, Choose Happiness. A passionate Relationship Coach with a background in Social Work, Ry has helped countless individuals and couples break free from toxic patterns and create lasting, meaningful love.
