Title: Radical Intentionality and Post-Traumatic Growth with Aubrey Blanche

Is it possible to experience divorce as a catalyst for growth rather than a sign of failure?

In this incredibly candid and refreshing episode, DEI expert and "double divorced" advocate Aubrey Blanche joins Sabina Read to debunk the stigma surrounding multiple separations. Aubrey shares how they navigated two divorces with radical honesty, shifting the narrative from "everything is crumbling" to a process of intentional self-discovery and "post-traumatic growth."

Together, they explore:

• Post-Traumatic Growth: How to use life’s biggest transitions as a springboard for becoming a stronger, more authentic version of yourself.

• The "Marty Ginsburg List": Why establishing clear non-negotiables (and "anti-lists" for deal-breakers) is the key to long-term compatibility.

• Separation in the Queer Community: Addressing the unique weight of "letting the community down" and the power of chosen family support.

• Relationship Anarchy: Using clear communication and boundaries to build connections that are additive, not just "filling a hole".

• Support in the Workplace: Practical advice for managers on how to support employees through a life crisis.

Whether you are navigating your own separation or simply looking to build more intentional relationships, Aubrey’s "strategy-led" approach to life and love offers a roadmap for moving forward with dignity and hope.

In this insightful episode, family lawyer Jill Johnstone of The Law People joins Sabina Read to bridge the gap between professional legal advice and the raw, personal reality of ending a marriage.

Together, they explore:

• The "Lawyering Up" Myth: Why seeing a lawyer doesn't have to mean going to battle.

• Child-Focused Outcomes: Practical ways to protect children from the detrimental effects of parental conflict.

• The Emotional Reality: Managing the surprising challenges of shared care and "part-time" parenting.
