I Just (Got Divorced)! Now What? with Jennifer Arvin Furlong

by Jessica Stephens

Hey Friends,

This week’s episode, we delve into the life-altering journey of Jennifer, a woman who bravely shares her experiences navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce after over 25 years of marriage. Through candid storytelling, we explore the complex layers of her emotional rollercoaster, from the initial shock of her husband's revelation that he no longer wanted to be married, to the profound challenges of rebuilding her life from scratch.

Jennifer's story takes us through the highs and lows of her post-divorce reality, where she faced the abrupt loss of her marriage without the luxury of a separation period. She candidly shares the process of finding a new place to call home, redefining her career path, and grappling with the daily tidal wave of emotions that comes with such a significant life change.

As she learns to shed the weight of shame and guilt associated with her divorce, Jennifer reflects on whether her long-term relationship was ever salvageable and how her role within her family has transformed over time.
