Episode 060: Stop Pretending & Start Living! with special guest Sunny Joy McMillan Sunny Joy McMillan shared her divorce journey. At the young age of 23, Sunny married older man who was an attorney. Sunny later became an attorney herself. Thinking back, Sunny now thinks the marriage was more about success and appearances. During their 12 year marriage they did not see eye to eye on things. Sunny went to therapy. She did not tell anybody else she was unhappy. She and her husband did a lot of arguing over things. Sunny asked her husband if he would like to attend The Burning Man Festival with her and he agreed. For her, the experience sent her on a different mindset. Afterward, she and her husband agreed on a six-month separation. There was no cheating. They continued wearing wedding rings and would talk a couple times a month. He told her that if she was really unhappy he would give her a divorce, and he did. It would be three years before they would again have a conversation with one another.

Episode 057: Fun Facts About Divorce with Leanne and The Boyfriend What a fun and lighthearted episode of divorce facts. The two of you brought out the humor with your various findings. Some were very surprising and some were expected. My favorite is the couple who were both cheating with someone over the internet only to find out it was with each other. I call them “Dumb & Dumber”. It’s not hard to believe that one third of divorce findings today include the word “Facebook”. This episode was informative and entertaining with all your fact research. Loved your lighthearted presentation. Each week Mom-nonymous shares her thoughts on the episode. Mom-nonymous is a wife, mom, and listener of Life Lafter Divorce Podcast.
