NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Award-Winning Australian Author Gabriella Pomare Returns to New York and Los Angeles to Launch Before It Breaks and Spotlight the “Christmas Quiet Quit”

International relationship commentator, author and podcast host Gabriella Pomare visits New York November 16–18 and Los Angeles November 19–20, bringing a timely conversation about modern marriage, emotional disconnection and relationship repair to American audiences.

Are you preparing to celebrate Christmas in a marriage you have already emotionally left?

You’re buying presents together, organising family gatherings, planning holidays and smiling for Christmas photographs. But behind closed doors, one partner may have quietly stopped trying.

Award-winning Australian author, international speaker, relationship commentator and podcast host Gabriella Pomare is returning to the United States this November with a timely message for couples approaching the holiday season: not every relationship breakdown begins with a dramatic argument. Sometimes, it begins with silence.

Pomare will visit New York City from November 16–18 and Los Angeles from November 19–20, coinciding with the official pre-order launch of her second book, Before It Breaks: A Modern Guide to Love, Conflict, Repair and the Conversations That Change Everything.

Published by Big Sky Publishing and distributed by Simon & Schuster, the book will be released internationally on March 2, 2027. Pre-orders are now available through Amazon, Booktopia and The Nile.

The Christmas Quiet Quit: Are Couples Emotionally Leaving Before the Holidays?

We hear plenty about quiet quitting in the workplace. But what about quiet quitting in marriage?

According to Pomare, some couples continue sharing a home, parenting children and managing their daily responsibilities long after emotional connection has begun to disappear.

With Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year approaching, she believes the festive season provides an important opportunity for couples to examine the relationships they are taking into another year.

“After more than a decade working with people through relationship breakdowns, I’ve seen how couples can spend years slowly disconnecting while continuing to look perfectly happy from the outside,” says Pomare.

“The Christmas argument is rarely just about Christmas. It’s often about months or years of resentment, invisible responsibilities, feeling unappreciated and conversations that have never been properly resolved.”

During her US visit, Pomare is available to discuss three timely relationship questions:

– Are you happily married, or simply good at running a household? Recognising the subtle signs of emotional withdrawal and understanding why a relationship without arguments is not necessarily a healthy one.
– Why is the Christmas argument never really about Christmas? How the mental load, invisible labour and accumulated resentment can turn minor holiday disagreements into major relationship conflict.
– Can the holidays become a relationship reset? Practical ways couples can reconnect, address unresolved issues and begin the New Year with greater clarity.

“Not every disconnected couple is heading for divorce,” Pomare explains. “Sometimes they simply need to recognise what’s happening and find a way to start talking again.”

Celebrating International Recognition in New York

Pomare’s New York visit begins on November 16, when she will attend the 2026 Stevie Awards for Women in Business at the New York Marriott Marquis.

On November 17, she will host an exclusive media and industry lunch at Manhattan’s iconic Hotel Chelsea, in collaboration with JMG Public Relations.

The event will celebrate the expansion of the Before It Breaks platform, bringing together media professionals, industry connections and creatives for conversations about modern relationships, communication and the future of relationship education.

Her visit follows a year of international recognition, including being named Thought Leader of the Year at the 2026 Stevie Asia-Pacific Awards, receiving the American Business Awards Thought Leadership Excellence Award, and being recognised among Australasian Lawyer’s Top 50 Leading Female Lawyers.

From Divorce Lawyer to International Relationship Commentator

Pomare’s work sits at the intersection of modern relationships, communication, conflict and human behaviour.

After more than a decade working with families experiencing relationship breakdowns, she has become increasingly focused on the conversations couples need to have before reaching a crisis.

Her first book, the award-winning *The Collaborative Co-Parent*, published in New York in 2025, explored how families can navigate life after separation.

Her forthcoming second book explores what happens before that point.

“Modern relationships are complicated. We’re navigating careers, parenting, mental load, digital distractions and constantly changing expectations about what love should look like,” says Pomare.

“But the fundamental need to feel connected, understood and valued hasn’t changed. I want to make the conversations that help people understand their relationships more accessible.”

Pomare also hosts the award-winning Before It Breaks podcast, averaging approximately 5,000 downloads per episode, exploring modern marriage, emotional affairs, motherhood, resentment, communication, conflict and relationship repair.

With an Instagram audience exceeding 78,000 followers, her work has reached international audiences through appearances on NBC News Daily, CBS, FOX, Good Day New York, Good Day LA, TODAY and The Morning Show* alongside features in USA Today, Forbes and The Guardian.
