13: Dealing with divorce? With Sali Hughes

It's been more than ten years since Sali Hughes, The Guardian’s resident beauty columnist, went through a divorce. But she says it's still the most traumatic thing she's ever been through.

In this episode Sali joins Anna and divorce coach, Maxine Clancy, in the studio to reflect on her experience and offer advice to a listener in the early stages of a separation. Together they share tips on how to approach the horrible practical tasks that come with a separation — like divvying up shared stuff — and offer some glimmers of hope about what’s waiting on the other side.

You can stay up to date with Sali via her Instagram. And if you or someone you know is going through a separation, they might be in need of some heartbreak therapy from today’s brilliant expert: psychotherapist and divorce coach Maxine Clancy. …

Have questions about sex? Divorce? Motherhood? Menopause? Mental health? With no topic off limits, Anna’s here to prove that whatever you’re going through, it’s not just you.
