Frisky Ridgewood and the Art of Surviving Midlife Divorce
Amy Chang sits down with Suzy Brown — author, advocate, and self-described survivor — for a conversation about the thing nobody prepares you for: the complete unraveling that comes with an unwanted midlife divorce. Suzy was in her early fifties when her marriage ended suddenly. What followed was grief, panic, a lot of sadness, and more than a few moments she's not entirely proud of. In this first of four episodes, Amy and Suzy get honest about what those first days and weeks actually look like — the closed bedroom doors, the inability to eat, the irrational things you do when your nervous system is completely shattered — and why knowing that other people are doing the same ridiculous things can be the first thing that saves you. Pull up a chair. These two have been there.
