He asked four times before she said yes. The fourth “yes” wasn’t rooted in love or clarity—it was wrapped in exhaustion and a haunting phrase: “I couldn’t find a reason to say no.” But her spirit already knew something wasn’t right.

In this unforgettable episode of Faces of Divorce, Attorney Jadinah Gustave sits down with a powerhouse woman of faith and leadership—a head of HR managing over 20 employees by day, and silently suffering in her marriage by night. What began as a hopeful union between two parents blending their daughters into one family quickly turned into a slow unraveling.

By year one, her light began to dim. Her hair was falling out, her body was shutting down, and her spirit was breaking under the weight of emotional and spiritual disconnection. Friends noticed. Medical professionals grew concerned. But it wasn’t until God called her to a sacred sabbatical—with nothing but a board and the book Divorce Like a Boss—that she began to reclaim her life.

This episode is more than a testimony. It is a mirror for every woman leading in public while bleeding in private. It’s for the ones asking God if the brokenness they’re in is still His will. It’s for the woman hiding her depression behind her title and her prayers behind her pillow.

Because God doesn’t just call us to stay—He calls us to live. And sometimes, leaving is the doorway to finally being whole.
