Sue Zarco Kramer shares her multi-hyphenate journey and the impact of Divorcee Doula on the Burnout Club podcast with Patrice Bonfiglio
New York, NY, August 14, 2025 – Award-winning filmmaker and creative director Sue Zarco Kramer joined host Patrice Bonfiglio on The Burnout Club Podcast to explore how narrative, styling and intentional experiences can help women rediscover themselves after divorce. Kramer, founder of Divorcee Doula, Bella Films and Connecting Dots Guru, discussed her personal reinvention and why she believes every woman deserves a curated “chapter two.”
Kramer’s platform, Divorcee Doula, offers women a unique blend of narrative coaching, personal styling and immersive field trips in major cities. Originally born from the success of her autobiographical pilot Swipe NYC, the initiative provides emotional and aesthetic reinvention for women navigating life post-divorce—or anyone seeking to “get their zhuzh back.”
“Everyone needs to find their zhuzh,” said Kramer. “Whether you’re divorced or just disconnected, we all wake up with doubts. I help women rewrite that narrative—sometimes it starts with a new outfit, sometimes a new outlook.”
Field trips have included private events with fashion icons like Bobbi Brown and designer Ulla Johnson, as well as guided wardrobe edits and narrative exercises. Kramer also hosts virtual styling and branding sessions through Connecting Dots Guru, where she integrates her Hollywood screenwriting background into personal brand development.
Her film Swipe NYC, is a romantic comedy based on her real-life post-divorce dating journey. It has won over 14 awards at international festivals and is currently in development as a full series. Kramer is also collaborating with Grace and Frankie creator Howard Morris on a new spinoff project based in Mexico City.
Kramer offered listeners a personal challenge: to plant a “garden of intention” using symbolic herbs and flowers. “Label the rosemary ‘perseverance,’ or the basil ‘romance,’” she said. “Then cook with those herbs and bring those values into your life and the lives of others.”
Her parting message encouraged women to reject outdated narratives of staying in one lane. “Wear all your hats. We are born multitaskers, and it’s time to celebrate that.”
