As Cass Thorburn knows all too well, “There’s no rulebook, no manual and, chances are, you have no idea what to do” when a marriage ends.
But for the Sydney mother of three – who found herself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight when her 21-year marriage to Today show co-host Karl Stefanovic ended in 2016 – starting over has ultimately been a time of self-discovery, resilience and, surprisingly, joy.
“I think anyone who goes through a divorce starts to realise that they’re much stronger than they ever thought they were,” says Cass. “Being on your own and embracing independence is empowering.”
Certainly, too, Cass could not be more excited about her latest project, co-hosting the engaging and informative podcast Divorce Story with writer-broadcaster Annaliese Dent.
It’s a show, she says simply, “about how to survive and hopefully thrive after separation”.
New Idea sat down with Cass to find out more.
Tell us about Divorce Story.
The podcast is advice from experts and professionals on how to separate successfully. When we say ‘separate successfully’, everybody has a different divorce story – both for men and women. We hear their stories during each podcast and what they learnt during the process that might help others. I’m really excited about it.
