You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know But The exExperts DO with Jessica Klingbaum and T.H. Irwin on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #196

The Awesome Women of exExperts, T.H. Irwin and Jessica Klingbaum, join Host, Susan Guthrie this week to share their collective thoughts and wisdom on divorce because as they say, "they've been there so they get it!"

For so many people the divorce process is like a firehose of information that is just overwhelming and confusing.  It is a rush of information to learn, decisions to be made and emotions to be managed and you have no way of knowing who or what to believe or listen to.  My guests this week, T.H. Irwin and Jessica Klingbaum, get it.  They really do, because they have been there (boy, have they been there) and they want to pay it forward by helping you.  This episode is the onramp to express lane on the highway that is divorce so hit play and take charge of your journey now!

T.H. and Jessica also share the details on their personal and intertwined divorce journeys and let me just say, after 30 plus years as a divorce attorney, I thought I had heard it all - I HAD NOT! 

Tune in to hear their story and to find out what the "it" of divorce is!

About this week's special guests:

ABOUT JESSICA
Jessica Klingbaum holds a BA from Brandeis University and a Masters in Broadcast Journalism from New York University. She is an Emmy-nominated former TV producer for national networks, including CBS, FOX, and CNBC. She co-founded exEXPERTS in 2020 with a mission to educate, support, and empower women like herself who have been affected by divorce. 
 
Originally from Cherry Hill, NJ, Jessica has called NYC her home for more than twenty years and currently resides in the West Village with her two children. She is an eternal optimist who loves fashion, gummy bears, and spending quality time with friends and family.
 
ABOUT T.H.
T.H. Irwin began her career at a boutique market research firm in NYC and after earning her Masters Degree in Marketing from Fordham Graduate School of Business, she went to advance her career at Arthur Andersen Consulting. After her separation, she pivoted and discovered her talent for creating community-driven media events. In her role as Director of Experiential Events for USA Today, she scaled hyper-local, original events to a national level. In 2020 she co-founded exEXPERTS, a free online resource to help women of all ages navigate their divorce - a community she wishes she'd had during her own divorce journey more than a decade ago.
 
She loves adventure and the outdoors which she proved on a Kilimanjaro climb, her non-profit work with organizations like the Center for Hope & Safety and United Breast Cancer Foundation, and nurturing her mind and body on a daily basis. She lives in Bergen County with her amazing boyfriend, children and dog Daisy.

Thriving in divorce and beyond means not having to worry about the safety of your children when it comes to co-parenting. With alcohol abuse on the rise, many co-parents are turning to the system committed to providing proof, protection, and peace of mind. Soberlink’s alcohol monitoring system is the most convenient, reliable, and reasonable way for a parent to provide evidence that they are not drinking during parenting time. Soberlink’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent. With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and both parents have empowerment and peace of mind.
