Kate Anthony is back, right in her wheelhouse, guiding you through one of the most challenging decisions you'll ever face: Is there still hope for your relationship, or is it time to move on? On average, people spend four years agonizing over whether to stay or go. That's four years of wondering, trying, giving up, and trying again. But Kate understands the complexity of this decision, and she’s here to help you navigate it with clarity and confidence.
In this deep and insightful conversation, Susan and Kate explore the emotional and practical aspects of deciding whether to stay in a relationship or move forward. Whether you're dealing with clear signs like abuse, adultery, or addiction, or you're struggling with the slow drip of uncertainty, Kate's wisdom will resonate with you. She not only helps people make this difficult decision but also supports them in crafting a plan for the future if the decision is to go.

Host Susan Guthrie welcomes back Tracy Malone to discuss some of the mistakes people make when divorcing a narcissist!
Returning guest Tracy Malone is the author of Divorcing Your Narcissist: You Can't Make This Shit Up! Divorcing a narcissist is a hot topic these days, and Tracy’s book is the most comprehensive compilation of tips, insights, case studies, and personal experiences about what it is like to divorce a narcissist.
In this episode, Tracy and Susan explore some of the most common and biggest mistakes made when divorcing a narcissist and share practical advice for avoiding them.
Conversation Golden Nuggets:
- The adversarial mindset, “How to BEAT a narcissist” is so harmful. Tracy shares her thoughts on the topic. Instead of “how to fight,” think “how to cope or prepare.”
- “Don’t call them a narcissist! It’s going to poke the bear, enrage them more, and set the whole divorce on a different trajectory.”
- Check your expectations when it comes to justice in family court and pick your battles!
- Make the parenting plan as inclusive as possible and consider the growth of your children.
- If you are aware, you can prepare. Plus, why it is important to have a team or support system during your divorce.
Listen to this episode to learn as much as you can about divorcing a narcissist and then move forward with awareness!
