As divorce rates rise and more Australians navigate separation later in life, discussions around life after marriage have never been more relevant. Launching its highly anticipated season on March 17, Kizmet Podcast: Life and Sex After Divorce will dive deeper into the realities of reinvention, dating, and personal growth post-divorce.
Hosted by Kiz Harvey, a therapist and reinvention coach, the podcast dives deeper into the financial, emotional and social challenges of starting over, shedding light on an often-overlooked stage of life.
Recent Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows that while overall divorce rates remain stable, ‘grey divorce’ (couples splitting after 50) is rising, now making up a third of all marriage breakdowns. Increased life expectancy, evolving social norms, financial pressures and empty nest syndrome contribute to this trend, as seen in high-profile cases like Hugh Jackman and Bill Gates.
The impact extends beyond the couple, affecting adult children, finances and social dynamics. Kizmet acknowledges these shifts, offering support and resources to help individuals navigate the complexities of grey divorce.
This season expands its lens to include more diverse voices, including male perspectives and insights into the growing trend of grey divorce – separations among couples over 50. With several episodes already recorded, topics range from financial survival tips to navigating intimacy after long-term relationships. Kizmet brings together expert guests, real-life stories and candid discussions that break down stigmas and offer practical guidance to those rebuilding their lives.
“Divorce isn’t the end of the story – it’s the start of a new chapter. With more Australians separating later in life, we need to talk about what comes next… rebuilding, rediscovering and rewriting the rules of love and identity,” said Kiz.
Since launching, Kizmet has gained significant recognition, even prompting a new dedicated category on Spotify. As divorce becomes an increasingly mainstream conversation, especially with high-profile breakups making headlines, Kizmet has cemented itself as a trusted and relatable resource for listeners going through their own relationship transitions.
With a growing community of engaged listeners across social media, Kizmet is more than just a podcast – it’s a support network. Fans have shared their own experiences, asked thought-provoking questions and contributed to shaping the direction of the podcast. As season two unfolds, Kizmet will continue to be a platform for open dialogue, offering practical advice, heartfelt stories and, most importantly, a sense of solidarity for those navigating life after divorce.
