Finding Happiness During Divorce: A Smarter, More Humane Approach

Hosted by Deborah Moskovich and Steve Peck | Featuring Guest Susan Pease Gadoua

A Pioneering Episode in Divorce Education

This thought-provoking episode of The Smart Divorce marks a significant milestone—a true achievement episode in the evolving world of divorce education. As a powerful precursor to the Soft Landing Podcast, it sets the tone for a more compassionate, introspective, and growth-oriented approach to separation.

Why This Episode Matters

In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and romantic ideals, Deborah and Steve join forces with therapist and author Susan Pease Gadoua to explore the deep, often overlooked journey of self-discovery during and after divorce. They unpack why people repeat relationship patterns, how happiness is truly cultivated, and what it means to love yourself before loving others.

• Redefining happiness as an "inside job"
• Breaking free from toxic relationship cycles
• Understanding divorce as an opportunity for growth—not failure
• The importance of becoming an “equilateral triangle”—whole and balanced on your own

Episode Impact

More than a podcast—this is an invitation to transform your post-divorce life with insight, purpose, and emotional clarity. For anyone navigating heartbreak or new beginnings, this conversation is a light at the end of the tunnel.
