How Did You Get Here with Verastic
Short story: Those who are doing it do not have two heads.
Long story: Welcome to How Did You Get Here with Verastic - the podcast where real people share real stories about the winding, messy, hilarious, and sometimes miraculous journeys that got them here. No fluff, and no curated Instagram perfection. Just raw, authentic conversations that inspire you to believe that if they can do it, so can you.
As our Nigerian parents loved to remind us: Those who are doing it do not have two heads. Translation? The people you admire aren’t superheroes; they’re humans with struggles, detours, wild stories, and twenty-four hours in a day, just like you.
So, if you’ve ever wondered how someone survived heartbreak, built a career from scratch, moved continents, reinvented themselves, or turned pain into power, pull up a chair. This is where truth meets laughter, and where you get the audacity to believe that your own “getting here” is absolutely possible. I'm just here as your good-smelling guide.

EP 19: Can Women Be Divorced And Happy?
Can women actually be divorced and happy? For some reason, being divorced and happy, especially for a woman, seems like it's mutually exclusive. I will not make the claim that all women are divorced and happy, but I can confidently say that any woman who gets divorced for the right reasons can be - and most likely is - divorced and happy.
Our culture abhors divorce. Our culture also abhors a free-thinking, independent woman because she is seen as rebellious and unsubmissive. You already know my thoughts on submission, right? Divorce is difficult on all counts, and the decision to get one should not be made lightly or easily.
Today's episode is a special request. A listener asked that I answer the question of whether a woman can be divorced and happy. Naturally, I have used myself as an example. In this episode, I also made references to my marriage, and how it ended, and as promised in the podcast, here's the link to read the full story about how my marriage ended. Quite honestly, I'm so glad that I have this link to refer to because it would be exhausting to tell this story over and over.
If you are a woman in the middle of a divorce or planning to get divorced or thinking about getting divorced, I understand the situation you're in, but I want you to know that there is so much life after divorce, and I hope that this episode lights a fire in your belly and calms your unrest.
If anyone ever has a special request for an episode or a blog post, please reach out to me, and I'll be happy to provide any and all information on the topic if I have it. This episode also includes a special announcement about the podcast. Please listen to find out more, and let me know your thoughts when you're done.
