Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Divorce But Were Afraid to Ask: Dara’s Story

A Fresh Story, season 6, episode 4

What happens when you decide to get divorced, and your husband is also your work-partner? What happens when you’re out on your own as a parent for the first time? We chatted with one of our favorite, most brilliant humans: screenwriter, showrunner, award-winning director, producer, and single mom extraordinaire, Dara Resnik.

Dara shares what it was like to end both the working relationship with her writing partner, who happened to also be her husband, and how she embarked on a journey of independence, parenthood, and career with bravery, humor, and a lot of writing. We appreciated Dara’s candor about the divorce process, co-parenting, and how she created a life she is proud of today.

Dara made us laugh, cry, and cheer as we discussed about the importance of living alone, mental health post-divorce, antics in single parenting, and how we can find the ground below us after divorce. You can give Dara a follow on Twitter.
