Dating After Divorce: What to Tell Your Kids and When

What if the hardest part of dating after divorce isn't whether you're ready, but whether your kids are? This solo episode tackles one of the most-asked, least-discussed questions in the inbox: how to start dating again after divorce in a way that honors your own life and your children's emotional reality. It's a topic carrying guilt, grief, longing, worry, and the very real truth that you are still a living, breathing person who wants a romantic life. Drawing on listener-submitted questions, this conversation walks through the practical and emotional terrain of re-entering romantic life. We will discuss why your timeline almost never matches your child's, what inner work to do before your first date back, how to introduce a new partner without quietly handing your kids the job of approving them, and how to be honest about loneliness without making them feel responsible for filling it. What you'll learn: Why your child's timeline is on a totally different track than yours and the rough one-year guideline for keeping your dating life "off-stage" The two moves to avoid when you introduce a new partner, including the one that quietly puts adult-sized weight on your child's shoulders What to actually say when the blunt questions come and why your kids can never be the ones who fill your loneliness This episode is brought to you by: OneSkin: Unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age.
