The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.

Dating again in midlife can stir up a mix of curiosity, hope, and very real hesitation. After divorce, it’s not just about meeting someone new, it’s about trusting your instincts and believing that love can feel different this time. Susan Guthrie welcomes back one of Divorce & Beyond’s most trusted and favorite guests, Bela Gandhi, for an honest, encouraging conversation about what it truly takes to move from fear to confidence when dating again in midlife.

Known as America’s go-to dating coach and beloved by the Divorce & Beyond community, Bela brings warmth, optimism, and refreshingly practical wisdom to a chapter that often feels overwhelming. Together, Susan and Bela unpack why midlife dating can actually be better than ever, how to stop repeating old patterns that no longer serve you, and what smart, intentional dating looks like when you’re choosing differently and more consciously this time around.

What You’ll Learn

Why fear around dating after divorce is normal

How those “rollercoaster butterflies” are usually a sign of anxiety, not chemistry, and how to recognize calm as a healthier sign of compatibility

How dating today offers more options, visibility, and agency than ever before, especially for midlife daters

Why confidence in dating comes from having a clear plan, not luck, timing, or instant sparks

How slowing down and allowing connection to develop over time leads to better long-term outcomes

Gray divorce is one of the fastest-growing divorce trends, yet it remains one of the least talked-about experiences. It is not just the end of a marriage. It is the unraveling of decades of shared life, identity, routines, and expectations.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie is joined by gray divorce coach Maryjane Sweet, whom she first met when they were both featured on the Oprah Podcast in a powerful conversation about gray divorce. Maryjane appeared alongside her adult daughter, and their story stood out for its honesty, depth, and the grace with which Maryjane navigated this life-altering transition.

Together, Susan and Maryjane explore what it truly takes to move through gray divorce with intention, emotional awareness, and integrity. They discuss why gray divorce can feel especially destabilizing, particularly when it arrives unexpectedly, and how the losses extend far beyond the marriage itself. The conversation dives into grief, identity shifts, nervous system overwhelm, and the invisible emotional labor women carry as they work to hold themselves and their families together during profound change.

This is not a conversation about quick fixes. It is about honoring loss, building emotional safety, and discovering what gray divorce can give back on the other side.

What You’ll Learn

Why gray divorce is not just a legal ending, but a profound emotional and identity shift after decades of shared life

Why rituals around loss, such as leaving a family home or removing wedding rings, help create closure and support healing

How daily anchors like sleep, nourishment, movement, and connection are essential tools during divorce

Why adult children are deeply impacted by gray divorce and how parents can model integrity, resilience, and self-compassion

How focusing on how you want to feel can help guide decisions when the future feels like a black hole

Why coaching support can be critical during gray divorce and how it helps women move forward without getting stuck in the past

About the Guest 
Maryjane is a gray divorce coach and consultant. She combines the lived experience of ending a 26-year marriage with deep professional training to help women navigate the emotional and practical complexities of gray divorce. She holds a master's in Organizational Behavior and is an !CF-certified PCC coach with over 1,500 client hours worldwide.

📝 Rituals for Grief in Gray Divorce: Why Closure Matters

In this companion article, Susan explores why gray divorce requires more than legal resolution. It requires emotional closure. Drawing from this conversation, she explains how intentional rituals, such as marking the end of a marriage, leaving a longtime home, or acknowledging decades of shared life, can help the nervous system process loss and support healing during profound transition.

You’ll also find a simple, downloadable resource designed to help you reflect on what closure might look like for you.

It was never about the dishes…
It’s about mental load, invisible labor, and power inside modern marriage.

To dig into why so many women feel this strain inside their marriages, Susan Guthrie is joined by Kate Anthony, a globally recognized divorce coach, feminist thought leader, and the author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. Kate is also the creator and host of the top-ranked Divorce Survival Guide Podcast.

Together, Susan and Kate talk candidly about how deeply ingrained expectations still shape modern relationships, often in ways people don’t recognize until the damage is done. They explore why patriarchy harms women while also isolating men, what real partnership actually looks like in practice, and how patterns like deflection, denial, and  quietly erode trust over time. The conversation also addresses the very real impact these dynamics have on women’s emotional and physical safety, and why naming them clearly can be a powerful first step toward change.

What You’ll Learn

How mental load becomes a proxy for deeper issues of power, responsibility, and respect

How patriarchy shapes modern marriage in ways that harm women while also isolating men and fueling resentment

What real partnership looks like in practice and why occasional help is not the same as shared ownership

What it often means when one partner says they were “blindsided” by divorce and how invisible labor plays a role

Why naming these dynamics clearly can be a critical first step toward safety, clarity, and meaningful change

About the Guest

Kate Anthony is a feminist thought leader, divorce coach, and author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. As the host of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast (3.5M+ downloads; globally ranked in the top 0.5%), Kate brings fierce clarity and grounded compassion to conversations about coercive control, codependency, and the complex dynamics that shape women’s relationships and choices.

Her work blends feminist analysis, relational insight, and practical communication tools that empower women to make safe, self-led decisions.

Kate is also developing a groundbreaking project exploring true crime as women’s survival literature, illuminating the coercive control patterns and systemic failures embedded in headline cases.

For many people quietly navigating divorce season, one question lingers beneath the surface:

Is this just a rough season, or is this relationship truly over?

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie sits down with renowned psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Mann to explore how to tell the difference, and why clarity, not guilt, is often the most caring path forward.

Inspired by Dr. Jenn’s widely shared insight, “Not every relationship is meant to be saved,” this conversation goes far beyond the familiar stay-or-leave debate. Together, Susan and Dr. Jenn examine how therapy can sometimes help repair a marriage and other times provide the clarity needed to trust yourself enough to let go.

They discuss the emotional cost of staying too long, the deal breakers people often rationalize away, and why ending a marriage can be an act of courage and strength rather than failure.

This is a compassionate, nuanced conversation for anyone questioning what comes next.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

How to tell the difference between a rough season and a relationship that has truly run its course

Why therapy is not always about fixing the marriage, but often about gaining clarity

The deal breakers people ignore for years, including emotional unavailability and refusal to seek help

Why “staying for the kids” is far more complex than it sounds and what children actually absorb

How leaving a marriage can build confidence, resilience, and deeper self-trust

About the Guest

She is best known as the longtime host and therapist on VH1’s hit series Couples Therapy with Dr. Jenn and Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn, and has appeared as a trusted expert on hundreds of television programs, including The Today Show, Dr. Oz, The Wendy Williams Show, The Doctors, Steve Harvey, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

You signed the divorce agreement. You thought it was over.

But for many people, the real problems begin after the ink dries, when they discover that what they negotiated is not actually enforceable.

In this essential episode of Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by Kelly Lise Murray, a nationally recognized legal scholar whose work focuses on what happens when divorce settlements fall apart in real life, particularly in cases involving homes, mortgages, retirement assets, and complex property divisions.

This conversation is especially important during divorce season, when many listeners are early in the process and assuming that reaching agreement automatically means protection. It does not.

What You’ll Learn

Why a signed divorce agreement does not guarantee you will receive what you were promised

How enforcement failures leave people owed money or assets they never receive

Why homes and retirement accounts are the highest-risk areas in divorce settlements

How missing deadlines and contingencies quietly undermine agreements

The questions you should ask your lawyer before signing anything
