There comes a moment in every troubled marriage when you ask yourself: Can this be saved… or am I done?
In this episode of The Divorce Queens, we’re sharing real stories (the good, the bad, and the flat-out embarrassing) about how we tried to save our own marriages — and why traditional couples counseling didn’t give us the clarity we needed.
You’ll hear Taylor’s raw story of multiple rounds of counseling, including a wake-up moment so powerful it ended the conversation and the marriage.
And Rachel shares how she sat in indecision for nearly a year before finding her moment of certainty.
We’re also breaking down a powerful but underused tool: discernment counseling — what it is, how it differs from couples therapy, and why it can be the game-changer if you’re sitting in the “I don’t know” phase.
🎙️ In this episode:

Why couples counseling isn’t always the right first step
The danger of seeking help with a partner who isn’t safe or willing to change
What discernment counseling actually is (and what it’s not)
The difference between a “leaning in” spouse and a “leaning out” spouse
What to do if you're stuck in indecision — or scared of making the wrong choice
The real reasons some women go back after divorce… and why it doesn’t work

This episode is for you if:

You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing’s getting better
You’re scared of making the wrong decision and regretting it forever
You’ve lost yourself in your marriage, and you’re trying to find your way back
You’re done with advice from people who don’t understand your situation

💡 Quote of the week: "Decision means to cut off. When you decide, you’re cutting off every other option. That’s the power of clarity." – Taylor
