In this episode, I’m diving into answering a million-dollar question - Is It Truly ever Over?

The divorce papers are signed, the court dates are behind you, and legally — it’s over. But what happens when your ex just won’t let go? Today, we are unpacking one of the most difficult and emotionally challenging realities: life after a high-conflict divorce, especially when one person can’t — or won’t — move on even if on the surface it looks like they have.

We explore what “final” really means when you're dealing with an obsessive ex, the signs of post-divorce harassment or emotional entanglement, and how to protect your peace, your boundaries, and your future. From co-parenting challenges to stalking, manipulation, or continued legal threats, the fight can often continue long after the ink is dry.

If your divorce is final but the drama continues, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone.

“Will it ever stop? It will take years and a lot of actions on her part—creating distance, managing her responses, and letting her boundaries evolve and adjust based on her former spouse’s actions.” - Ksenia Muench
