Episode 118: The Marriage Loving - Divorce Attorney ft. Nicole Sodoma
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.* ----- In This Episode We Talk About - What it means to be a “marriage-loving divorce attorney” - The red flags Nicole sees in couples *before* they ever call a lawyer - Why saying “I'm sorry” to someone going through divorce might be the wrong move - Financial mistakes married women make that put them at a disadvantage - What an empowered divorce actually looks like - How Nicole balances being a mom, ex-wife, new wife, and founder of a 60+ person law firm - The best marriage advice she's ever given — that had nothing to do with the law ----- About Nicole Sodoma Nicole Sodoma is the Founder and Managing Principal of Sodoma Law, one of the Southeast's premier family law firms with five offices across two states and over 60 employees. A nationally recognized authority on divorce and family law, Nicole has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, Parents Magazine, and Business Insider. In May 2022, Nicole published *Please Don't Say You're Sorry* — an empowering, candid, and often humorous guide to navigating marriage, separation, and divorce with grace and strength. ----- Resources & Links - * *Order *Please Don't Say You're Sorry*:* * [nicolesodoma.com/order](https://nicolesodoma.com/order/) - * *Get the Workbook & Journal:* * [nicolesodoma.com/shop](https://nicolesodoma.com/shop/) - * *Nicole's Website:* * [http://nicolesodoma.com](https://nicolesodoma.com) - ⚖️ * *Sodoma Law:* * [http://sodomalaw.com](https://sodomalaw.com) - * *Follow Nicole on Social:* * @nicolesodoma ----- ### Follow Happily Ever Banter - Instagram: @happilyeverbanterpodcast - TikTok: @happilyeverbanter - Facebook: Happily Ever Banter Podcast - YouTube: Happily Ever Banter ----- ### Support the Show Love this episode?
