5. The significance of taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally as you navigate this new reality.

Fun Fact from the Episode:

Did you know that 90% of divorces start with both parties naively assuming that they can part ways amicably, only to realize later that the process is far more complex and contentious than anticipated?

As we wrap up, remember to treat yourself with kindness and grace during this challenging time. It's okay to sit in this moment and navigate it well. Be attentive to your physical and mental well-being, and remember that there are resources available at toddturner.com/divorce to support you.

UnYoked - The Post Divorce Podcast: Navigating your divorce and recovery with grace.

Divorce and the new single life is hard but it is even more complex when you made a promise to God to "keep your marriage till death do you part." American Christian culture doesn't make navigating the decisions and ripple effects of divorce any easier. Christian marriage and divorce advice runs rampant yet often conflicts with the realities of pain, abuse, loneliness, and the real world.
God has a lot more to say than, “I hate divorce.” God gives a standard and then graciously restores and renews people even when His standard isn't met.

Those of us who are navigating the life changing event of unYoking from a spouse and/or uprooting a family have to journey through some dark, lonely, and confusing places. Our issues aren't frequently tackled from the pulpit and the advice we receive isn't always relevant to our current place.

The UnYoked podcast is just for you. A safe place to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps of navigating a divorce, singleness, and the future. A place where we live in the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world with broken people and broken relationships. Buckle up... remove the mask.. and let's get real about discussing the ripple effects of divorce and equip ourselves to survive being unYoked as a Christian.
