What happens after the divorce papers are signed and suddenly you’re sitting there thinking… what the hell do I do now?
This week, Andrea sits down with Amber Lee, creator of Separation Story Time, for a hilarious, honest and surprisingly vulnerable conversation about the part of divorce nobody really prepares you for: becoming single again.
Amber shares how her own divorce led her to start documenting the messy moments of starting over, eventually turning those stories into Separation Story Time and a community of people navigating divorce, dating, single parenthood and everything that comes next.
Andrea and Amber get into dating apps, the divorce glow up, terrible dates, falling in love again, being naked with someone new after marriage, body insecurity, sex after divorce, dating as a single mom and the very strange experience of realizing you actually might like this new version of yourself.
They also get very honest about the grief that can exist even when you know a marriage needed to end, why healing is anything but linear, and what Amber wishes someone had told her when she was sitting in the hardest part of starting over.
And yes… there are dating disasters. Because obviously.
In this episode:
• What divorce actually feels like versus what you think it will feel like
• Why dating apps feel like an endless supply of “options” that aren't really options
• The divorce glow up and becoming the main character in your own life again
• Falling in love after divorce
• Sex and body confidence after marriage
• Dating while raising a child
• When to introduce someone you're dating to your kids
• Staying friends with an ex
• Younger men, splitting the check and post divorce thirst traps
• Why starting over can eventually become something you never expected
Amber’s reminder for anyone in the messy middle: your life isn't over. You can grieve what mattered and still build a life you love on the other side.
