About this episode
This episode of Divorce Happens continues the Divorce 101 A to Z series with the letter B, where we break down one of the most important emotional skills during divorce: boundaries. Brought to you by the letter B and the number 2, this short, compassionate episode explains what boundaries are, why they matter, and how they can dramatically reduce conflict and overwhelm during a divorce or separation.
Host Olivia Howell shares real-life examples of boundaries that support healthier communication, co-parenting rhythms, and emotional safety. She also names the internal discomfort many people feel when setting boundaries and offers validation for those learning this skill for the first time. The episode ends with a simple, grounding action step anyone can take today.
Whether you’re navigating divorce, supporting a friend, or trying to understand healthier relationship dynamics, this Divorce 101 A to Z mini-lesson offers clarity, confidence, and emotional support.
