Divorce As Death
Manage episode 442775453 series 3567991
In this spirited episode of the Naughty By Nature podcast, Treen gets cozy with therapist, death doula and good friend Caroline Lee to explore the messy, beautiful, and taboo world of Christian divorce. They laugh, cry, and maybe even question their life choices, all while comparing divorce to the dying process.
Caroline opens up about getting hitched at the ripe age of nineteen, under the watchful eyes of purity culture and familial expectations, while Treen reflects on what commitment really requires. Together, they unveil the societal stigma surrounding divorce and how it can turn friendships into ghost towns.
With a dousing of humor from guest comedian Raven Daley as God, this episode challenges the myth that enduring unhappiness is somehow virtuous. Instead, they cheer on the glorious messiness of reclaiming your identity post-breakup.
So grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a heartfelt chat that’s equal parts hilarious and enlightening, proving that there’s life (and laughter) after love - and maybe even a little divine intervention along the way!
