I had the pleasure of interviewing Rachel Oakes, a mother of two boys and the creator and host of A Good Divorce – a podcast she made in her shed over lockdown when she separated from her husband. While navigating her own break-up Rachel spoke to experts and people who’d been through divorce positively or even not so positively but had learnt valuable lessons to get tips on how to have an amicable divorce herself. 

‍

If you listen to the podcast it is a  raw and honest account of what it feels like to go through this process, whilst interviewing experts on how to navigate each element. From child psychologists to marriage counsellors, Rachel was able to tap into brilliant support that helped not only her but her then-husband, their children and her audience. 

‍

A year on, Rachel shares her own experience, what she has learned and her hopes for the future and the next series of A Good Divorce Podcast.

‍

If you would like to listen to the podcast, which I highly recommend, you can find it on all streaming platforms.

Rachel previously worked in observational documentaries and now works as an audio producer and records people’s life stories.
