Navigating Divorce: How to thrive during and after divorce with T.H. Irwin of ExExperts

While each going through divorces at the same time, T.H. Irwin and her best friend were shocked at the lack of information available. They realized they didn’t want others to go through that, so they decided to start a business that would help other women going through divorce navigate it easier. 

In today’s episode, we talk with T.H. Irwin, co-founder of Ex Experts and co-host of the Divorce Etc. podcast. She shares what it’s like to start a business with your best friend, the challenges they’ve faced, what the business model for Ex Experts is, and so much more. 

“I want to be synonymous with any touchpoint of divorce, someone at work, whatever, ‘you have to go to Ex Experts, they’re going to help you get your shit together.’ That’s the ultimate goal.” – T.H. Irwin
