In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Stay or Go Coach and Podcast Host Britta Jo continues her discussion with family law attorney Demetria Graves, Esq., shifting from awareness to action.

If Part 1 was the wake-up call, Part 2 is the roadmap.

Together, Britta and Demetria move beyond the risks of indecision and into what preparation, clarity, and empowered decision-making actually look like. They unpack how women can protect themselves — emotionally and financially — even before making a final decision about their marriage.

In this episode, they explore:

How to begin preparing legally and financially without escalating conflict
The importance of confidential consultations and understanding your rights early
How to quietly gather documentation and protect assets
What strategic preparation really means — and what it doesn’t
How clarity reduces fear and increases leverage
The power of timing when making major legal decisions

Demetria shares practical insight into how informed preparation changes outcomes — in negotiations, custody discussions, and financial settlements. She explains why knowledge is not a declaration of divorce — it’s protection.

Britta reinforces the emotional side of the journey, discussing how fear, guilt, and uncertainty often delay action — and how support systems like coaching and therapy create steadiness during life’s most pivotal transitions.

This episode is about reclaiming agency.

Because preparation is not betrayal.
It’s wisdom.

If you’re navigating uncertainty and wondering what your next move should be, this conversation will give you clarity, courage, and practical next steps.

We briefly filed for divorce from our audio… but reconciled. (Sorry!!)

We’re back with a special bonus episode to open Season 7 of Legally Uncensored with Demetria Graves, Esq.*

In this powerful two-part series, Host Demetria Graves, Esq. (family law attorney and founder of The Graves Firm) sits down with Britta Jo (Stay or Go Coach and Podcast Host) to explore the often-overlooked legal and financial consequences of staying in an uncertain marriage.

Many women believe that “waiting it out” is the safer choice — but what if indecision is actually putting you at greater risk? Demetria offers a clear-eyed legal reality check on how staying in limbo can quietly erode your financial security, limit your legal options, and create outcomes that could have been avoided with earlier awareness.

Together, Britta and Demetria unpack:

* How indecision can create real legal and financial consequences
* Who is most at risk when they delay difficult decisions
* Common missed opportunities — like gathering financial information or protecting assets
* How waiting can impact legal timelines, custody, and settlements
* The hidden financial fallout of emotional hesitation
* Why financial empowerment is a form of self-protection — not conflict

Demetria also pulls back the curtain on what attorneys see behind the scenes, including:

* Common myths that keep women stuck
* The difference between emotional readiness and legal readiness
* What it actually looks like to reach the “sweet spot” where both align

This conversation also highlights the importance of building the right support team. Demetria explains why having emotional support — through coaching or therapy — can make the legal process smoother, clearer, and more empowering, and why being emotionally resourced is critical when navigating high-stakes legal decisions.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between staying and leaving, this episode is for you.

Listen. Learn. And share this with someone who needs it.
