Episode Details

In this insightful episode of Divorce Happens, Olivia Howell sits down with real estate agent and divorced human, Emily Clancy to talk about one of the most overwhelming (and emotional) parts of divorce: figuring out where—and how—to live next. Emily shares her personal story of downsizing after divorce and offers practical, judgment-free advice for navigating the housing market as a newly single parent.

From understanding your financial picture to building a real estate team that costs nothing upfront, Emily breaks down the steps every divorcing parent should take—whether they plan to rent, sell, or buy. She also addresses the stigma around "starting over small" and reminds us that your kids don’t need a big house—they need you, safe and emotionally grounded.

This episode is your permission slip to ask questions, take your time, and prioritize you in the process. There are more options than you think—and no matter the square footage, you have the power to create a stable, loving home.
