Social media during divorce recovery. Rachel says be smart and I say don’t do it - take a break. It never turns out well, most of the time. So many people have an opinion on social media and divorce. I have heard of instances where social media can be used in a divorce proceeding. So, buyer beware! Discussions of clearing the trash, celebrity divorce posts, social media has a lot of negativity, rudeness and social media and call a friend all are a part of the podcast. You make the decision - what will you feel comfortable with? The ball is in your court.

Well, here it is again. The craziness of the Divorce Devil Podcast. We take off with starting with the notion of no control in your divorce or divorce recovery to road construction.

Strap in because this show goes fast and all over the place. Take a listen

Well, it is another interesting podcast by the two of us. Owning your sh*t encompasses so much. We mainly came from the way of it’s ok not to be ok. You are going through some epic sh*t for the first time and how you react at first might not be the best reaction, but you learn over time and adjust accordingly. Our other point is everyone is not your friend and everyone doesn’t need to remain friends with you. If it is a struggle to keep some friends, maybe they need to go. Only you know for sure - and can act accordingly. Just two parts to owning your sh*t!
Topics discussed:
It’s ok to say
Object permanence
Time to cleanse your friend list
You want everybody to like you
Life is dynamic
Live by hope
Make it simple
Baby steps
Poke the bear?
I’m ok being the villain in your story
Am I watching Dexter?
Friends vs family
No f*cks button
Helping people you don’t know
Delete, delete
Do better
We always digress

Call that friends that is no matter what
