Description
In this week’s episode of Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, my guest is entrepreneur, TV personality, and host of the popular podcast Truly Kenya, Kenya Duke. She sits down with me to talk about her recent divorce from famous comedian Gary Owen after 20 years of marriage and how she is moving on from the whole thing, planning her career, becoming financially stable, while also being a responsible mom looking after the wellbeing of her three children.   “So, for me, I didn't grieve the loss of the marriage. I grieved the loss of the relationship between the kids and their dad.”– Kenya (12:00)   Parting ways after 20 years of marriage is no easy thing. During my conversation with Kenya, she offers me useful advice on marriage as I look forward to tying the knot in a few months. She also talks about coping with the grief and how she stayed positive as she went through a process no woman wishes to go through.   “But on my worst day, I was still happy, and I wouldn't have changed anything. $0 in the bank.
