Diovrce Doesn’t Suck with Wendy Lowy Sloane (Podcast)

A Podcast About Starting Over — With Clarity, Dignity, and a Clear Path Forward

Attorney Melissa Needle

A Message from Needle | Cuda

Needle | Cuda is proud to sponsor Divorce Doesn’t Suck — because we believe that the right information, delivered with honesty and compassion, changes lives.

Attorney Melissa Needle appears as a featured guest and legal contributor throughout the series, offering her decades of experience representing clients in complex, high-stakes Connecticut divorce proceedings. Whether the matter involves the equitable division of a privately held business, contested custody in a high-conflict case, or the unwinding of sophisticated financial structures, Melissa speaks to these realities plainly — without jargon, and without minimizing what’s truly at stake.

This podcast is not a substitute for legal counsel. But it is something genuinely rare: a resource that treats listeners as intelligent adults navigating one of the most consequential chapters of their lives.

About the Podcast

Hosted by Wendy Lowy Sloane, Divorce Doesn’t Suck is built on a straightforward premise: that the end of a marriage is not the end of a life well-lived. It is, in fact, the beginning of one.

Wendy brings to every episode something you will not find in a law library or a financial prospectus: the perspective of someone who has been through it. Her warmth is genuine. Her questions are the ones people are afraid to ask out loud. And her guests — attorneys, financial advisors, therapists, and people who have rebuilt extraordinary lives after divorce — meet her there.

The series covers every dimension of what divorce actually involves: the legal process and what to expect from Connecticut courts, the financial decisions that will shape your future, co-parenting with integrity, the emotional terrain of starting over, and — yes — dating again, with wisdom and without apology.

For those with substantial assets, complex financial structures, or high-profile concerns about privacy, the podcast addresses these realities directly. You will hear from attorneys who handle the cases others cannot. You will hear from people who rebuilt — professionally, financially, personally — and did it with grit and grace.

About Wendy Lowy Sloane

Wendy Lowy Sloane is a seasoned television producer, broadcaster, and podcast host whose career has taken her from the national stages of The Phil Donahue Show and The Geraldo Rivera Show — where she covered defining stories of her era — to the Greenwich, Connecticut airwaves with her radio program What’s Up with Wendy, which she created, launched, and hosted beginning in 2010.

Wendy’s interview style is known for its authenticity. She creates space for real conversations — the kind that cut through the noise and reach something true. And with Divorce Doesn’t Suck, she has channeled her professional expertise and her own lived experience of divorce, reinvention, and new beginnings into something that genuinely serves others.

UPDATE:

2026 brings the launch of a new, “companion” Podcast created by Wendy, The Rewrite: A Podcast About Divorce, Choice, and New Beginnings — in which she explores a deeper exploration of resilience, personal growth, and the profound power of deciding who you want to become next.
