No Longer We: Recent Episodes
Natalie + Kate
A podcast about hard shit (divorce!) with funny people (divorcees, Kate & Natalie). Don’t go this journey alone.
No matter who you are, we would bet money you’ve heard of, held for others, or had stigmas regarding divorce.
Stigmas are everywhere; for divorcees, single parents, for people who have been remarried. These stigmas find their ways into our lives from movies, tv shows, and our friends and family.
In today's episode, we dive into the stigmas we held prior, how our view of them has shifted as we’ve gained deeper understanding, and how our pity has turned to empathy. We've learned that stigmas literally end up holding us back so it’s time we talk about them so we can break the hold they can have on us! There is power in reframing your narratives and in this episode, we share how we've reframed our own stories to find comfort, grace, and new outlooks on life!

Hello everyone and happy holidays! Whether you are celebrating or not this year, the truth is that holidays can be hard for everyone even if divorce isn’t a part of the conversation.
Exactly. So that’s the conversation we are having today.
Here is an outline of what to expect:
-
First Holiday - Separated v. Divorced
-
Brief stories of our first Christmas post-divorce/separation
-
Missed Traditions and/or Family
-
Relationship with inlaws
- Having someone there to complain with, to emotionally share the load, to joke with, to get + eat food with, just that transition from being a couple to not, family/couple photos
- Being “single” at your own family’s gatherings
- Seeing other “we’s” online enjoying their traditions, not always being what it seems is what i remind myself, christmas light viewings, christmas movie snuggles, etc

Before we begin launching full episodes, we thought we’d share a preview of what to expect. Meet Natalie & Kate, two divorcees with two different experiences. In this episode they share how divorce entered their life, what you can expect topic-wise, and also what this podcast isn’t (a bash session on exes).
