Slow Dancing in a Burning Room: Divorce, Denial and Knowing When to Go

Have you ever heard a song a hundred times — and then one day the lyrics hit you like a ton of bricks? That's what happened when a 20-year-old John Mayer song came on during a family car ride...and suddenly it was all about divorce. Because staying in a marriage you know is over? That's slow dancing in a burning room.

In this episode:

- The stop/go dance of dysfunction — why we delay leaving long after we know it's time

- How denial sets a false narrative on repeat (and why it becomes a default setting)

- The red flags you pretended not to see — and what they set in motion

- Why finally admitting what you know isn't failure... it's a massive win

It's OK to walk off the dance floor, mama. It starts with declaring, "I'm ready."
