Navigating Co-Parenting: Embracing the New Normal In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey delves into the multifaceted world of co-parenting, offering insights and personal anecdotes to help parents navigate this challenging journey. From redefining "normal" to managing personal time and supporting children's transitions, Audrey provides practical advice for co-parents striving to create a harmonious environment for their families.
Audrey begins by introducing the topic of co-parenting, humorously questioning the concept of "normal." She emphasizes that co-parenting varies for everyone, focusing on situations where both parents have agreed on a custody plan and generally adhere to it. Audrey shares a light-hearted moment about the song "How Bizarre," setting a relatable tone for the discussion.
Addressing the emotional hurdles, Audrey speaks to parents, especially primary caregivers, about the sadness and difficulty of being apart from their children when they're with the other parent. She discusses the lack of control over the other household and its impact on children's routines. Drawing from personal experience, Audrey recounts moments of tears when her kids left for their dad's house, underscoring the importance of allowing oneself to feel and process these emotions.
Audrey suggests various activities for parents during their personal time, such as visiting the ocean, spending time with friends, and exploring new hobbies. She shares personal stories, including joining an acro yoga group and attending cooking classes, highlighting the joy and fulfillment these brought her. Audrey encourages parents to pursue interests they previously couldn't due to responsibilities, emphasizing the significance of engaging in activities purely for personal joy.
Discussing the challenges children face when transitioning between households, Audrey highlights the importance of not engaging in conflicts with the other parent regarding differing parenting styles. She advises parents to focus on their well-being, employing techniques like breath work, calming music, and exercise to manage emotions. By staying calm and regulated, parents can better support their children's adjustments.
Audrey emphasizes the necessity of apologizing to children when parents lose their temper, regardless of the cause. She shares a personal experience where apologizing positively impacted her relationship with her children. Introducing the concept of co-apologizing, Audrey suggests that both parents acknowledge mistakes and apologize together, reinforcing that children are not to blame for parental difficulties and that their well-being remains paramount.
Audrey advises against speaking negatively about the other parent in front of the children, as it can foster resentment and complicate relationships. She acknowledges that children are perceptive and will eventually understand the reasons behind a divorce. Audrey stresses the importance of not burdening children with adult conflicts and emotions, urging parents to manage their feelings independently and avoid projecting them onto the children.
Wrapping up the episode, Audrey encourages parents to seek additional tools and support as needed. She highlights the value of sharing stories and posing questions in the show notes and on social media, fostering a supportive community. Audrey invites parents to engage with others in similar situations, offering a reminder that they are not alone on this journey. Co-parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up for your kids with love and intention. Navigating co-parenting is challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. Take things one day at a time, focus on what you can control, and always lead with patience and grace—for yourself and your children. 💖 Loved this episode?

| Episode 6 - The Passing of Simon | 24 Feb 2025 | 00:38:09 | |
The Passing of Simon: Grief, Growth, and Moving Forward Grieving an ex-spouse is a unique and complicated experience, especially when your relationship was long over. In this deeply personal episode of Divorced AF, Audrey Alice opens up about the passing of her ex-husband, Simon. She reflects on the emotional complexities of his sudden illness, the unexpected waves of grief, and how she is navigating this chapter as a solo parent. If you’ve ever struggled with mourning someone you once loved but had to leave, this episode is for you.
Audrey shares the moment she received a life-altering call—her ex-husband was in the ICU on another island. She walks listeners through the whirlwind of hospital visits, his brief recovery, and the heartbreaking turn when he contracted a lung infection and passed away. She opens up about the difficult decision one of her children made not to visit and the importance of allowing space for personal grieving choices.
While they were no longer married, his passing still hit hard. Audrey discusses the mix of emotions—grief, sadness, and even unexpected feelings of loss. She highlights the power of community support and shares how connecting with other divorced women who’ve lost their ex-spouses has helped her process this experience.
Losing an ex-spouse comes with unique challenges—handling their estate, making difficult phone calls, and dealing with logistics you never expected to be part of. Audrey walks through the overwhelming process of managing Simon’s affairs while balancing her own emotions and those of her children. She reminds listeners that grief is unpredictable and comes in waves.
Audrey reflects on how grieving a divorce differs from grieving a death. While she mourned the end of their relationship years ago, his passing brought a new layer of emotions. She discusses the practical side of grief—cremation, probate, and the mental toll of handling it all. Through it all, she emphasizes the importance of choosing joy, finding peace, and helping her children process their own grief in healthy ways.
In an ironic twist, Audrey now finds herself holding onto items from her ex-husband’s home—and even his ashes. She shares how she is working to neutralize the energy and focus on positive memories, while also encouraging her children to find signs of their father in their everyday lives. Forgiveness, understanding, and community support are key themes in this part of the journey.
Audrey closes the episode with an important message: grief is complex, and all feelings are valid. She encourages listeners to reach out, share their stories, and seek support. Whether you’re grieving a divorce, a loss, or both, you are not alone. Healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about reclaiming your future. You are allowed to heal at your own pace. Whether you're rediscovering yourself, setting new boundaries, or just learning to breathe again, know that every small step forward is a victory. Give yourself grace, lean into the process, and keep choosing yourself. You are allowed to grieve, heal, and move forward—on your own terms. 💖 Loved this episode?

| Episode 5 - No Regrets | 18 Feb 2025 | 00:23:09 | |
Leaving a long-term relationship is never easy, and second-guessing your decision is completely normal. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey Alice dives into the doubts, fears, and unexpected moments of regret that can surface after leaving a marriage or long-term relationship. With raw honesty and a no-BS approach, she reassures listeners that no one leaves a perfect relationship and that trusting yourself is key. If you’ve ever wondered, “Did I make the right decision?”—this episode is for you.
Audrey shares a recent coaching session where a client questioned her decision to leave a decade-long relationship. She unpacks the emotional and logistical complexities of separation—physical assets, emotional ties, and the occasional waves of doubt. Audrey reminds listeners that no one walks away from a perfect relationship and that questioning doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice.
Audrey opens up about her own journey of leaving her marriage in 2017. Despite conversations about reconciliation, she never wavered in her decision. She explains how clarity in the moment can help silence doubt later, reinforcing the importance of trusting your gut and recognizing that problems don’t magically disappear by staying.
Many people don’t realize they were in an emotionally or mentally abusive relationship until they’ve left. Audrey breaks down the concept of gaslighting and how emotional, financial, and verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. She shares her personal experience of dating a gaslighter post-divorce and explains how recognizing these red flags is crucial to healing.
For those leaving toxic or narcissistic relationships, cutting off contact is often the best move. Audrey discusses why blocking an ex—on social media, phone, and even email—can be essential for mental clarity and emotional well-being. Drawing from her own experience, she shares how stepping back and refusing to engage helped her reclaim her power and peace of mind.
Leaving a relationship isn’t just an ending—it’s a beginning. Audrey reflects on how her own divorce allowed her to step into her strength, build a thriving career, and become the woman she was meant to be. She encourages listeners to see their journey as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation.
Audrey wraps up the episode with a powerful message of encouragement: You are brave. You are strong. And this is just the beginning. She invites listeners to connect with her, share their stories, and seek support as they navigate life post-divorce. You don’t need permission to move forward. No regrets, just growth. Leaving a relationship is never easy, but trusting yourself is the key to healing. Doubt may creep in, but remember: you didn’t walk away from a perfect situation. Keep moving forward with confidence, knowing that you are brave, strong, and capable of creating a life you love. Join the Divorced AF Community!Love this episode?

| Episode 4 - Friendships | 02 Feb 2025 | 00:24:03 | |
Divorce changes everything—including your friendships. Some people step up, some disappear, and some just don’t know what to say. So how do you navigate friendships post-divorce? Who do you keep, and who do you let go? In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey dives into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes painful world of friendships after divorce. She gets real about the shifts that happen, the people who surprise you (for better or worse), and how to find your true circle. Because let’s be honest—not everyone is meant to come with you into your next chapter. If you’ve ever felt like divorce came with a friend cleanse you didn’t sign up for, this episode is for you.
Audrey opens up about how divorce often reveals who’s truly in your corner. Some friends stick around, others fade away, and then there are the ones who make it clear they were never really there to begin with.
Not all friendships are built to last. Audrey breaks down how to tell the difference between people who support you and those who were only around for convenience. Divorce forces you to take a hard look at your relationships—and that’s not always a bad thing.
What happens when you and your ex share the same friend group? Audrey discusses the awkward reality of navigating mutual friendships post-divorce and why it’s okay if some of those relationships naturally fade.
Just like a marriage, some friendships have an expiration date. Audrey shares why it’s important to release relationships that no longer align with your growth and how to do it without guilt.
Not all friendships will survive divorce—but the right ones will. Audrey encourages listeners to seek out the people who uplift, support, and genuinely care about their new chapter. Because sometimes, divorce doesn’t just take people away—it makes room for better ones.
Friendship breakups can be just as painful as romantic ones. Audrey offers advice on how to rebuild a strong, authentic support system with people who truly have your back. Losing friends after divorce can feel like another heartbreak, but here’s the truth: the people who are meant to be in your life will stay. And the ones who don’t? They were never your people to begin with. You’re stepping into a new chapter. Make sure the people around you deserve a seat at the table. 💖 Loved this episode?

| Episode 3 - Closure | 02 Feb 2025 | 00:18:06 | |
Closure. We think we need it. We wait for it. We convince ourselves we can’t move on without it. But here’s the thing—closure isn’t always coming. And that? That’s okay. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey gets honest about the concept of closure—what it actually is, why we chase it, and how to move forward when we don’t get it. Drawing from her own experience with divorce and addiction, she breaks down the harsh truth: sometimes, the apology, the explanation, the validation we crave never comes. And yet, we can still thrive. This is your reminder that closure isn’t something your ex gives you—it’s something you decide for yourself.
Audrey opens up about her personal experience of leaving a marriage affected by addiction. She reflects on the moment she realized that waiting for her ex to change—or even admit fault—was a losing game. Closure isn’t about someone else’s words; it’s about your own healing.
When a relationship ends, do we actually miss the person—or do we miss the version of them we built in our minds? Audrey challenges listeners to get honest about the difference between mourning a person and mourning the potential we once saw in them.
Waiting for closure often means waiting for someone else to take responsibility. But what about self-accountability? Audrey talks about owning your role in past relationships, not to place blame, but to grow and ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself.
Spoiler alert: sometimes, the closure you want from your ex isn’t going to happen. Audrey explores what it looks like to find peace without an apology, an explanation, or a final conversation. Because waiting on someone else to give you permission to move on? That’s not it.
Letting go doesn’t require a neat ending. Audrey shares practical steps to reclaim your power and close the book on your past—on your terms. She reminds listeners that real closure comes from within, not from someone else’s validation.
Your Next Steps ☑ Reflect on who you truly miss—the real person or the version you imagined. Closure isn’t a conversation. It’s not a text, a confession, or a heartfelt apology from someone who hurt you. Closure is a choice. And the moment you decide you’re done waiting for it? You’re already free. 💖 Loved this episode?
