About This Episode


What happens when leaving your marriage feels terrifying — but staying is slowly destroying you?

In this episode of Heartbreak to Happiness, Sara Davison is joined by award-winning wine expert and columnist Libby Brodie for an honest conversation about divorce, loneliness in marriage, single motherhood and rebuilding your life from the ground up.

Libby shares the moment she realised her marriage could no longer continue, the fear of starting again, the financial struggles that followed, and how she rebuilt her identity, career and confidence. She also opens up about dating after divorce, finding love again and why the way someone makes you feel can tell you so much about whether a relationship is truly right for you.

If you’re questioning your relationship, navigating separation or rebuilding after heartbreak, this episode is a powerful reminder that fear of the unknown doesn’t have to keep you stuck.
