ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode 2 - Table for Two (Just Me and My Kid) Divorce With a 3-Year-Old:
Starting Over, Building Your Village & Redefining Family
Garland In this "Table for Two" episode, Garland shares why she married young to understand the "illusion of marriage," how she realized after seven years that she and her partner weren't values-aligned, and the exact holiday moment she consciously chose divorce. She reflects on navigating divorce with a 3-year-old, moving quickly from filing in February to living in her own apartment by July in California, and discovering her strength by redefining family rituals, routines, and traditions on her own terms. Garland challenges the stigma around single moms, framing single motherhood as protection and resilience, and describes how her mom and an "informed community" of other single moms supported her. She addresses the grief and "failure" narrative many women feel, encourages viewers that it gets better, and prompts them to identify and thank the people in their village.
