Jackie Morton, host of the Divorce for Busy Millennials podcast, started her podcast after navigating her own divorce. Her podcast offers a space for other people going through a divorce a platform to give practical advice with a splash of humor.
Amidst tackling law school, being a mom, and preparing for a deployment, Jackie was also figuring out how to get divorced. Like every other divorce, her divorce was handled through the civilian court. But unlike most cases, Jackie is a military woman and unfortunately, it was used against her during the process. Jackie had to figure out how to properly advocate for herself to everyone, including her own attorney.
While divorce is painful mentally, emotionally, and physically, Jackie found peace when it all came to an end. Looking back on her experience, she is able to find humor and comfort in it all. Tune into this week’s episode of Military Woman and So Much More for a light hearted conversation surrounding divorce. Learn more about Jackie’s experience, and how to better navigate divorce as a member of the military.
