The Divorce Announcement Season: Tom Arnold

A Fresh Story, season 8, episode 11

Welcome to a special season of A Fresh Story Podcast: The Divorce Announcement Season. This season is co-produced by Divorce.com; Divorce.com offers a streamlined path through divorce that helps couples avoid unnecessary conflict and costs. 

On this episode of The Divorce Announcement Season, we talked to comedian, actor, and father Tom Arnold. Tom Arnold talks about the difference in announcing a divorce pre and post the advent of social media, having your divorce in the tabloids, and why he wanted to talk about his divorce publicly. We chatted about his becoming a single dad and his advice for other single dads; and we talked about how to comport yourself when there is a narrative being crafted about you by other people. Tom talks about why it’s important to be open about your divorce, how a publicist assists (or doesn’t) in the divorce announcement, and gives some really helpful advice for getting out of bed in the morning.

Tom Arnold is the co-host of Divorce Party Podcast with Monika Casey.
