Ep 71: At A Marriage Crossroad? 3 Types of Pain You Need to Understand
Informazioni su questo podcast
If you’re contemplating divorce, wondering whether your marriage can be rebuilt, or trying to make a clear decision without acting out of panic, fear, guilt, or pressure, this podcast is for you.
The Divorce Decision Podcast is for people in unhappy, uncertain, or emotionally painful marriages who are asking one of the hardest questions of their lives:
Should I stay, or should I go?
Hosted by Kari Hoskins, a professionally certified relationship coach with a Master’s Degree in Interpersonal Communication, this podcast takes an honest, balanced look at the real dynamics behind divorce decisions. We talk about the marriage patterns, communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, conflict cycles, resentment, trust issues, infidelity, and unresolved pain that lead couples to this crossroads.
You’ll hear conversations about:
• how couples get here
• what rebuilding a marriage actually looks like
• what separation and divorce can look like
• how to communicate when everything feels fragile
• how to make a thoughtful, clear, regret-aware decision
What makes this podcast different is simple: there is no agenda here.
No pushing you to leave. No pressuring you to stay.
Because the truth is: leaving is scary, and staying is scary.
This podcast is here to help you slow down, understand what’s really happening in your relationship, and make one of the most painful and important decisions of your life with more clarity, honesty, and self-trust.
Kari has advanced training in couples coaching, trauma, relational coaching, conflict, infidelity, PTSD, and addiction, offering compassionate, grounded support for people facing the heartbreak, confusion, and complexity of relationship crossroads.
If you are struggling in your marriage, questioning divorce, or trying to figure out whether repair is possible, The Divorce Decision Podcast will give you practical insight, emotional clarity, and a more balanced conversation about staying, leaving, and everything in between.
