January has earned a difficult nickname in legal and mental health circles: Divorce Month. But what's really happening when the holidays end, and so many women begin questioning their marriages? In this episode of HIListically Speaking, Hilary Russo is joined by Oona Metz, therapist of 30 years and author of Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide for Women. Together, they unpack why couples often hold on through the holidays, how chronic stress shows up in the body, and why divorce is not a failure, but a loss that deserves care, grief, and support. Oona shares her own divorce journey, her groundbreaking model of divorce grief, and why community, humor, and agency are essential for healing. This conversation is for women on the edge of a decision, in the middle of separation, or supporting someone through it, and for anyone ready to release shame and redefine what it means to choose themselves.
