#304 Early Divorce Isn’t Failure: Finding Hope After Unexpected Turns with Eve Simmons
In today’s expert episode, I’m interviewing Eve Simmons, an award-winning health journalist who is back on the podcast after going through a life-changing divorce just six months into her marriage. We dive into her personal story, what led her to investigate the trend of early divorces among millennial women, and why there’s so little guidance for young couples splitting up before kids are involved. Eve Simmons shares the common themes she uncovered in her research, like professional success in women, financial complications, and the emotional fallout of an unexpected breakup. We talk about the unique fears faced after these divorces, how shame and loneliness show up, and what it’s like to rebuild your life when the path you planned is suddenly gone. Eve Simmons also opens up about her own healing journey, including finding love again and starting a family, and shares the hopeful lessons she and other women have learned about independence, resilience, and the surprising gifts that can come out of heartbreak. Be sure to check out her new book What She Did Next where she not only talks about her story but many others!
