In this week’s episode, Lauren and Bree sit down with Ashley, who is navigating a difficult divorce from a partner exhibiting narcissistic behaviors. Despite years of emotional abuse and infidelity, Ashley now faces the added challenge of her ex weaponizing the children in an attempt to regain control. With significant financial resources behind him, he has secured an aggressive attorney, and Ashley’s case has been further complicated by a judge known for disproportionately favoring male parties in divorce proceedings.

In this week’s episode, Lauren and Bree sit down with Licensed Professional Counselor Suzanne Fortnum to explore the concept of closure—and why it is often a myth. Suzanne explains that seeking a final conversation, apology, or explanation from an ex rarely provides the clarity we hope for and can instead lead to deeper confusion and emotional harm.
Together, they discuss healthier, more empowering ways to find closure within yourself, including therapy, journaling, and building a strong support system. The conversation highlights that true closure comes from personal healing and acceptance, not from the person who hurt you.
Tune in for an insightful discussion on reclaiming your peace and moving forward on your own terms.
