You know that moment when you realize the life you’ve built no longer fits, and it’s time to choose yourself, even if it’s messy?
Renée Bauer knows it well. As a seasoned divorce lawyer (23 years in the game) and someone who’s walked through two divorces herself, she brings a rare combination of personal insight and professional clarity to a topic we don’t talk about enough -> what happens when you choose to leave.
In this conversation, we talk about:
- Why disconnection, not drama, is what really ends relationships
- The surprising trends in modern divorces (yes, politics are now a factor)
- What happens when one partner evolves — and the other doesn’t
- Why every woman (married or not) should have financial independence
- And how Renée still believes in love, even after all she’s seen
We also get into therapy shame, social media’s role in our relationship breakdowns, and why balance is a myth — but movement is medicine.
If you’ve ever questioned your relationship, your choices, or what comes next, take a listen.
