No Decision Is a Decision: How to Decide on Divorce Without Regret with Karen Covy

Should you stay in your marriage, or is it time to go? And once you decide, how do you get through what comes next without regretting it later? In this episode of the Divorce Discussions Podcast, host Angie Weber talks with Karen Covy, a Chicago-based divorce coach, lawyer, mediator, author, and speaker. Karen is the author of the best-selling book When Happily Ever After Ends and The Strategic Divorce Guide, and the host of the Off the Fence podcast. After years practicing divorce law and mediation, she now coaches people to make clear, confident decisions about their marriage and navigate divorce with strategy and integrity. Karen walks through how to decide whether to divorce using your head, heart, and gut, why the first question to ask is whether divorce is financially possible for you right now, and why friends, relatives, and AI make up a Greek chorus that rarely gives you an accurate picture. She explains how to prepare before telling your spouse, what to say in that first conversation, and why the way you start your divorce shapes the entire process. You'll also hear what it means to become the CEO of your own divorce, how to take back control if you feel bulldozed, the many process options beyond court (mediation, collaborative divorce, arbitration, and more), how to protect your kids from conflict, and what makes gray divorce different. If you're stuck on the fence, Karen's closing message is one you need to hear: no decision is a decision.
