Episode 118

What does a divorce attorney who *loves* marriage actually know about keeping one together? A lot, it turns out.

This week, Uncle Dale and Kiki sit down with Nicole Sodoma — founder of Sodoma Law, national family law authority, and author of *Please Don't Say You're Sorry* — for one of the most honest, eye-opening, and surprisingly funny conversations we've ever had about marriage, divorce, and everything in between.

Nicole has seen thousands of marriages from the inside out. She's also lived it — as an ex-wife, a new wife, and a mom of three. And she's here to tell you: divorce doesn't have to be the end of the story. Neither does a struggling marriage.

Whether you're blissfully in love, quietly questioning things, or just nosy about what really happens behind a divorce attorney's closed doors — this episode is *for you.*
