GRAY DIVORCE OVER 50 IS RISING!

One in four marriages of couples over age 50 end in divorce, with women doing most of the initiating of the splits.

In this episode, Linda Hershman joins Beverly Price on the show as we delve deep into Gray Divorce. Linda is a 30 years licensed marriage & family therapist, the Author of the Gray Divorce book, and a frequent national and international conferences speaker on Gray Divorce.

In the session, Linda expounds on what Gray Divorce is, the reasons for the increased divorce rate for people over 50 years, and why infidelity is not the primary reason for most divorces but rather unaddressed underlying issues for years. Moreover, she delves into some upsides of late-life divorces, such as self-actualization, divorce effects on your children as well as the best time to go ahead with your divorce.

Ultimately, Linda shares three actionable steps to helping women on their divorce journey loving their children more than their Ex-spouse, being involved in their own life & seeking professional support.
