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.

What if love wasn’t the only requirement for marriage? What if timing, truth, and God’s will mattered more than your plans?

In this episode of Faces of Divorce, host Jadinah Gustave sits down with Reverend John E. Pierre — a 37-year marriage veteran, author of Never Stop Exploring, and one of the most sought-after premarital counselors in the faith community.

They dive deep into conversations rarely had from the pulpit:

• When to walk away before saying “I do”
• Why red flags are spiritual signals, not just personality quirks
• How trauma bonding can masquerade as connection
• The Church’s responsibility to restore, not shame, the divorced
• And how to truly explore your partner with intention and discernment

Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or divorced, this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and the courage to wait for God’s best.

✨ Bonus: Rev. Pierre also shares his upcoming second book “The 19 Indisputable Principles of Marriage” and his new podcast launch.

In this solo episode of Faces of Divorce, Attorney J dives deep into two of the most misunderstood financial pillars of divorce: child support and alimony.

With a heart rooted in faith and a voice seasoned by years in the courtroom, Attorney J breaks down:

• What the court actually looks at when deciding payments
• Common myths that leave women stuck or silenced
• Why asking for what’s fair is not a sin — it’s stewardship
• How to stay prayerful and strategic in financial negotiations

This is more than a legal talk — it’s a healing conversation for every woman navigating divorce while still holding onto her faith, her dignity, and her dreams.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about receiving support — or just unsure about your rights — this episode is your call to clarity. Sis, it’s time to stop shrinking and start securing what you and your children need.
