Navigating Divorce and Co-Parenting with Cathy Nguyen | AsianBossGirl Ep 220

One of the most difficult life transitions someone can go through is letting go of a relationship and going through the process of a divorce. It’s a deeply personal journey, so we are extremely grateful that our dear friend Cathy Nguyen is joining us today to share how her experience with divorce has given her a new perspective on motherhood and self-love.

    This is now my favorite episode, as someone who went through a divorce of a 10 year relationship as well I really related. Cathy you seem like such a caring mother and thoughtful person, I'm glad you felt ok sharing your story. I remember struggling to make sense of everything as quick as possible, which wasn't helpful. I like that you can recognize it takes time, I want to say it's not linear but know you are on the right path especially on the journey back to you. I wish you all the best and shout out to Phil's writing! Seriously though thank you to the ABG crew you always handle conversations lovingly whether it's with guests or each other. That's why I've been a listener since the introduction on Wong Fu's Lunch Break, even though I am neither an A, B or G I always can relate to you guys on a human level, thanks.

    I was kinda disappointed in this video. Was really looking forward to hearing her personal experience and insight but she answered all the questions so vaguely and seemed closed off. Feels like every question was deflected. The hosts did a wonderful job though - they actually drove the conversation and shared more. I get that it’s hard and she needs time to process, but maybe don’t go on a podcast where they ask questions on this specific topic? No hate on Cathy, been a follower of hers for a long time. Just a comment.

    ⁠@@sweetbabygirl97 I think it isn’t about wanting to know all the details but more about the fact that the questions and overall topic of the podcast episode seemed geared towards getting all the details. It could have been focused on something else as well. Loved the episode nevertheless and the ABG hosts did a wonderful job! I also do respect Cathy’s boundaries and how she stuck by them.

    @@puffpuffin1agree. She can put whatever boundaries she feels comfortable but in a podcast where it's about a topic and they're not discussing it in depth as advertised, it's a bit misleading. The point is to not mislead people away and still be respectful. They don't have to separate both topics.

    This is sad. You put your kid at risk of all sorts of problems by getting divorced all because you 2 were too selfish and prideful to hash things out. Marriage is a commitment not something you can toss aside like some old clothes. What's the point of wedding vows if you're not gonna keep them. I don't feel sorry for Cathy at all, but I do feel sorry for her daughter Isla. Marriage in the modern context is a joke now.

    @@Starrynova again, not all relationships can be fixed. Staying in a broken relationship just for the sake of keeping the family together isnt the right choice. Any kids would rather be in a separate home than in a broken home where they see their parents are unhappy and no longer love each other.
