Before it Breaks with Gabriella Pomare

Before It Breaks with Gabriella Pomare is a raw and honest relationship, divorce and co-parenting podcast about what really happens before separation, divorce and family breakdown become visible to the outside world.

Hosted by Gabriella Pomare, a family lawyer, author of The Collaborative Co-Parent, speaker, mother and co-parent, this podcast explores the private relationship patterns people often recognise too late: the quiet quitting marriage, the silent divorce, emotional disconnection, marriage resentment, relationship burnout, the mental load of motherhood, invisible labour, communication breakdown, conflict, repair, separation, divorce, parenting after separation and child-centred co-parenting.

Most relationships do not break the day someone leaves. They break earlier, in the silence, the repeated missed bids for connection, the resentment underneath “I’m fine,” the invisible load no one names, the text messages that make your stomach drop, the loneliness of sleeping beside someone and feeling completely alone, and the quiet moments where someone slowly stops reaching.

Each episode speaks to the real emotional experience of modern family life, from lonely marriages, motherhood, mental load and relationship repair to separation anxiety, divorce grief, co-parenting conflict, blended families, boundaries, emotional intelligence, family law realities, and rebuilding a life and family that no longer look the way you thought they would.

This podcast is for anyone searching for honest conversations about marriage problems, emotional load, divorce, separation, co-parenting, family law, parenting after separation, high-conflict co-parenting, relationship repair, mental load, motherhood, blended families and modern relationships.

For the person lying awake next to someone and feeling completely alone.

For the mother carrying the whole family in her head.

For the partner wondering whether this is a difficult season or the beginning of the end.

For the parent trying to separate without making their children carry the conflict.

For the co-parent trying to stay calm in a text thread that still hurts.

And for anyone who has ever looked at the life they built and quietly wondered, “How did we get here?”

For the before.

For the break.

For the becoming.
