Divorce: The Hidden Costs and Hard Truths You Need to Know

  • Resumen

  • Divorce. It’s supposed to be about ending a chapter and starting fresh, but what if it’s much more than that? What if it’s a battle you’re not prepared for, one where the system itself becomes an obstacle rather than a help? In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kelly Renee pulls back the curtain on the often-hidden realities of divorce. Drawing from her own deeply personal experience of going through two divorces, Kelly shares the emotional, financial, and legal challenges she faced—and what she wishes she had known before starting the process.

The system allows this to happen, and it’s devastating."— Kelly Renee [07:15] "You go to court, discuss two motions, and then wait six months to go back. It’s a rip-off, and it’s designed to drain you financially and emotionally."— Kelly Renee [07:23] "If you’re happily married, have the hard conversations now. What happens if we’re not together anymore? How do we protect each other?" — Kelly Renee [14:43] "Divorce isn’t about winning or losing.
