The Stay or Go Podcast: Divorce Support and Empowerment for Women Considering Divorce
Welcome to your new favorite space for radical clarity. The Stay or Go Podcast is a bold, raw, and entirely no-shame zone for women standing at the most terrifying crossroads of their lives – considering divorce.
If you are currently drowning in the silent guilt of wanting more out of life, or completely frozen by marital indecision, or staring at a relationship that looks good on paper while you starve inside—you are in the right place. This podcast isn’t about convincing you to make your marriage work at all costs and it isn’t about divorce being a magic pill that fixes everything. Instead, this is a deep, soul-led, and fiercely compassionate corner of the podcast sphere to help you stop the endless cycles of self-abandonment and finally hear your own truth.
Pop in your earbuds and leave each episode knowing that this is your one precious life, and you have the absolute right to live it confidently and unapologetically—no matter what you choose.

I don’t know how to convey the words for the strength you are giving me through your podcast. Given the programming of our LDS upbringing, I have struggled to overcome the teaching—direct or indirect—that God doesn’t work outside the Mormon church or if you leave the church you’re being deceived and led by Satan. I am literally having my life—my emotional health, awareness, healing—all being changed and affected for good by you and I am seeing God work in and through you for me. I am so grateful for your courage and openness and willingness to share. I have been so isolated and diminished and told what to believe and didn’t know what the other options were or what was happening to me or even what was happening within me. Your podcast on anger is so so so incredibly enlightening. Please continue to follow what is guiding you. You are helping save my life and helping me know how to heal and save myself.
