430. What Happens When the Divorce Lawyer Becomes the Client with Stacy D. Phillips

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Stacy D. Phillips—celebrity divorce lawyer, author, and podcast host—to talk about what really changes when the lawyer becomes the client. 

 

Stacy shares openly about her two divorces, including one from an alcoholic partner, and how those experiences transformed not only her personal life, but how she practices law. We unpack everything from how addiction can silently warp a relationship, to why prenups matter more than you think, and the emotional cost of carrying everything on your own.
