Divorce and Separation with Kate Daly from amicable
In this episode I’m joined by Kate Daly, co-founder of amicable, to talk about divorce, separation and what happens when the life you thought you were going to have suddenly changes. Kate shares her own experience of divorce, including what she found so difficult about the process and how that experience ultimately led her to create amicable, a different approach to separation and divorce.
We talk about the reality of navigating separation, the impact it can have on you and your family, and how to approach co-parenting when emotions are still running high. Kate also shares some of the things she wishes more people knew before going through divorce, and her advice for anyone who is at the beginning of that journey and lots more.

Dating After Divorce with Kate and Sarah from Kasalyst
Dating again after divorce can bring up a whole mix of emotions. Where do you even start? How do you know when you’re ready? And how do you navigate meeting someone new when your last relationship didn’t work out as you had hoped?
In this episode of Single Parent Reset, I’m joined by the founders of Kasalyst, a private members’ club for singles aged 35+ created as an alternative to the world of swiping and dating apps. We talk honestly about their own experiences of dating after divorce, what they’ve learned along the way and the advice they would give to anyone thinking about putting themselves back out there. We also talk about what led them to create Kasalyst and why they wanted to build a different kind of space for people looking to make genuine connections.
