DIVORCED NOT DIVIDED is a podcast series that creates conversation around re-imagining a relationship with your former spouse after divorce, under healthy circumstances. It asks the controversial question- “Is there a positive way to heal and reconstruct a new relationship built around common values and goals such as friendship and co-parenting?” We believe the answer is “yes, and…” 

This podcast series is hosted by us, Nathan Burkart and Megan Phillips, a real-life divorced couple, who are working on rebuilding a relationship as co-parents and friends.  We are two people who are committed to the emotional health of ourselves and our children. We are thrilled to share our ongoing story and the successes/challenges we face as we continue to explore the “yes, and” of our life stories. 

We acknowledge our own imperfection in this process and hope you value the episodes where we seek advice from professionals in the world of psychotherapy. Our aim is not to celebrate divorce, but to positively navigate the journey as we explore how to effectively communicate, raise two children together, begin “re-entering” the dating world, and remember that although we are divorced, we do not have to be divided.

Disclaimer: This is OUR story. There are situations where co parenting isn’t possible due to several factors such as a history of abuse, neglect, substance use, and other barriers. Our aim is not to encourage divorcees with these circumstances to seek our methods. This is a lifestyle podcast, not professional therapeutic advice.
