The Divorce Decision Podcast
If you’re contemplating divorce, wondering whether your marriage can be rebuilt, or trying to make a clear decision without acting out of panic, fear, guilt, or pressure, this podcast is for you.
The Divorce Decision Podcast is for people in unhappy, uncertain, or emotionally painful marriages who are asking one of the hardest questions of their lives:
Should I stay, or should I go?
Hosted by Kari Hoskins, a professionally certified relationship coach with a Master’s Degree in Interpersonal Communication, this podcast takes an honest, balanced look at the real dynamics behind divorce decisions. We talk about the marriage patterns, communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, conflict cycles, resentment, trust issues, infidelity, and unresolved pain that lead couples to this crossroads.
You’ll hear conversations about:
- how couples get here
- what rebuilding a marriage actually looks like
- what separation and divorce can look like
- how to communicate when everything feels fragile
- how to make a thoughtful, clear, regret-aware decision
What makes this podcast different is simple: there is no agenda here.
No pushing you to leave. No pressuring you to stay.
Because the truth is: leaving is scary, and staying is scary.
This podcast is here to help you slow down, understand what’s really happening in your relationship, and make one of the most painful and important decisions of your life with more clarity, honesty, and self-trust.
Kari has advanced training in couples coaching, trauma, relational coaching, conflict, infidelity, PTSD, and addiction, offering compassionate, grounded support for people facing the heartbreak, confusion, and complexity of relationship crossroads.
If you are struggling in your marriage, questioning divorce, or trying to figure out whether repair is possible, The Divorce Decision Podcast will give you practical insight, emotional clarity, and a more balanced conversation about staying, leaving, and everything in between.

Ep. 58: Stage 1- The Moment You Can't Pretend Anymore
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before anyone starts thinking about divorce, there's a quieter moment most people never talk about — the moment the unhappiness stops feeling temporary.
Maybe it's a hum of loneliness that won't go away, even when your spouse is sitting right next to you.
Maybe it's a string of small moments that were never really resolved, just carried.
In this episode, we break down Stage One of the divorce decision process — what I call A Knowing — including what open loops are, why silence is the biggest risk of this stage, and the questions worth sitting with before you say anything out loud. If something in your marriage has been quietly not okay for a while, this episode will help you name it.
I encourage you to take the Quiz, as it will help you as we walk through the Six Stages of the Divorce Decision Series.
