In a Special Bonus Mini-sode, host Susan Guthrie is joined by returning guest Molly Dare Hillenbrand, the dynamic founder of HillenBRAND Media and the host of "On Air with Molly Dare." They discuss Molly's recent viral TikTok post with well over 1.5 million views that caused a media sensation nationwide with features in the New York Post and on NewsNationLive among others!
In a post captioned "Dating in Your 40s be like . . . " that must be seen to be believed (click here to watch!) Molly used a audio thread from a voicemail from "Dimitri" to highlight the sometimes treacherous waters of dating for women. Although Molly's TikTok videos are always popular (follow her at @mollydareofficial) this one went almost instantly viral with more than 1.5 million views and over 17,000 comments. While many of the comments were supportive and commiserated with the sometimes "narcissistic" dating pool out there, there was also a flood of misogynistic backlash and vitriol. Molly has since posted more videos in response and shares some of the lessons learned along the way so tune in and check this one out - you won't believe your ears! Trust us, if you are in a relationship, after listening to this episode, you will turn to your partner and say "thank you!"

This week host Susan Guthrie is joined by returning guest Jackie Pilossoph, Founder of Divorced Girl Smiling. Together Susan and Jackie discuss the importance of understanding the anger about your divorce and how to move past it so that you can thrive in your beautiful beyond!
Some people go ten, twenty, or even thirty years caught up in the anger of their divorce. For example, we all know that one person who continues to talk about how angry they are that their ex left them for another person, twenty years earlier. It’s normal and healthy to be angry. However, holding onto anger for too long will impact your entire life; and not in the best of ways.
During their conversation, Jackie shares seven practical tips and suggestions to help you acknowledge, process, and work through your emotions. If you are wondering HOW to let go of your anger - Jackie will help you! You have all the control of letting that anger go - it’s time to smile again.
Jackie Pilossoph is the creator and editor-in-chief of Divorced Girl Smiling, a website, podcast, and app. Jackie, who went through a divorce several years ago, is a former TV and newspaper journalist who spent 8 years writing her syndicated weekly column, Love Essentially for the Pioneer Press/Chicago Tribune.
Jackie and Susan discuss these Golden Nuggets:
- No judgment zone! Anger is a normal and healthy emotion
- If you are in the anger phase - it’s okay to acknowledge it to others
- “We can choose what we want to define ourselves as - anger, bitterness, or living in the past should not be one of those things.”
- Letting go does not mean forgetting what happened
- Why you should shift the focus on yourself and your children
- “The only time you should think about the past is if you are going to learn from it and do better.”
- “If you love yourself don’t say, ‘What if…’”
- The bottom line: You have to love yourself enough to let that anger go
This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to learn how to release their anger for good!

August kicks off with a special two-part episode from Host and Top Divorce Attorney, Susan Guthrie. A few weeks ago, she ran a post on Instagram that shared a recent Buzzfeed article that contained a bunch of divorce attorneys' craziest cases. The post was so popular that Susan decided to create a podcast episode devoted to some of the most memorable cases and experiences from past guest experts of the show.
In this episode, experts and friends, such as Bill Eddy, Kate Anthony, and Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, share their most memorable cases or clients with us. They also share an important lesson or takeaway that they learned from the experience. There are some amazing insights for everyone, as well as some juicy stories too.
Many of our experts wanted to participate in this special series, so we produced a two-part episode to fit all their wisdom and experiences. You'll hear Part One today and then tune in again on Thursday for Part Two.
Some of the most memorable cases and topics include:
- Lessons learned from a stunning divorce case involving a husband and wife, spanning over ten years, as told by High Conflict Expert Bill Eddy
- A true example of “once a cheater, always a cheater…” is exposed as Eric Broder retells his most memorable divorce case moment

On this week's episode, Host, Susan Guthrie and Special Guest, Cindy Gunraj discuss the layered and nuanced topic of cultural norms as they relate to divorce and how your family's expectations and beliefs can make a difficult experience even harder.
Cindy Gunraj is a brown woman who has tackled the difficult experience of divorce within a family construct and culture that prizes marriage and family above the individual. Her experience brought her into direct conflict with her parents and extended family in a way that made her divorce feel like a failure not only on a personal level, but on a societal one as well. The bright side is that Cindy persevered, worked to understand and appreciate the love while also challenging those cultural norms in a way that ultimately resulted in her receiving her family's support for her divorce and her parents' blessing. Cindy shares her experience and her insights to help others who are facing a divorce that collides with their family, culture, religion and more in her book, Winning Your Parents' Approval for Divorce: 7 Practices to Leave Your Marriage with Their Blessing.
Some topics that Cindy and Susan discuss:
- How Cindy's parents and extended family reacted to her announcement that she was getting a divorce
- The ways in which a brown woman's or man's self-image are tied to their cultural norms and challenged when those norms and broken
- Why boundary setting is a necessary part of seeking family approval and support in divorce
- Why "priming" is an essential tool for dealing with family get-togethers and events
- How self-care is at the core of finding a way to merge your own happiness with your family's expectations
This episode is the essential starter guide for merging your family, culture and your need for personal happiness and growth - be sure to listen!

In this episode, Host Susan Guthrie and Top Financial Expert, Olivia Summerhill CFP, CDFA, CMC, share insights into the significance that the marital standard of living (MSOL) may have on your divorce and how it can impact your ability to maintain your lifestyle post-divorce.
"I just want to maintain my standard of living." Divorce attorneys and financial professionals hear that a lot but what does that really mean? What constitutes your standard of living and how does the law look at the situation when it comes to helping people continue that lifestyle in their life BEYOND? The MSOL issue most commonly arises when discussing just how much spousal support or alimony will be paid by the higher earning spouse to the other. Many people assume that they will be entitled to receive an amount that allows them to continue that lifestyle but what about the fact that there is only so much money to go around? We discuss this all and more in the episode.
Olivia Summerhill, CFP, CDFA, CMC founded a financial consulting firm dedicated to helping women maintain their lifestyles and thrive post-divorce by educating and empowering them financially. Although Olivia's niche is celebrity and ultra-high net worth clients, she works with clients in diverse financial situations through her extensive pro bono work. Olivia knows that when it comes to money and finances, there is nothing more empowering than knowledge and she shares so many golden nuggets with listneners in this episode - it's a MUST listen!
