What if a good divorce really is possible? 💔 In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, host [Your Name] sits down with Sarah Armstrong, author of The Mom’s Guide to a Good Divorce and The Art of the Juggling Act, to unpack how to navigate co-parenting, emotional healing, and fresh beginnings after divorce.

Sarah shares how she turned heartbreak into healing and redefined what it means to have a “good divorce” — one rooted in respect, co-parenting, and emotional freedom. Together, they explore how to rebuild life after divorce while protecting your peace (and your kids’ hearts).

If you’ve ever wondered whether a respectful, peaceful divorce is possible, this conversation will show you how.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways

You’ll learn how to:

• Redefine what a good divorce looks like — and why it matters more than “winning.”

• Co-parent peacefully without sacrificing your boundaries or sanity.

• Transform heartbreak into healing and self-confidence.

• Take the high road and protect your peace during conflict.

• Rebuild emotional, financial, and practical independence.

• Foster resilience and stability in your kids post-divorce.

Whether you’re still in the storm or standing in the calm after it, this episode reminds you that healing, happiness, and harmony are possible — even after everything falls apart.

You don’t have to wait years to heal after divorce or wonder when you’ll finally feel like yourself again.

In this episode, Erica shares the real shift that helped her move from heartbreak to high frequency – and finally feel free.

If you’ve ever wondered how to find yourself again after divorce, this one’s for you.

When you come home from a trip and suddenly feel… flat, like the sparkle you had on vacation vanished overnight, it’s not about the place. It’s about your frequency.

Here’s how to hold onto that energy, raise your vibration, and reclaim the version of you who feels alive again, no matter what life after divorce looks like.

When the music fades and the reality of your new normal sets in, it’s easy to slip back into old habits, fears, and stories that keep you small. But your healing? It’s not waiting on time. It’s waiting on you.

In this solo episode, Erica shares the Nashville story that sparked a transformation – from self-doubt to self-expression – and how one $38 hat became a symbol for confidence, authenticity, and joy after divorce.

Key Themes & Takeaways
🔑 Shift out of “what will people think” mode and start living unapologetically
🔑 Why raising your frequency matters more than time or effort
🔑 How to rediscover the radiant, confident version of you that’s been waiting
🔑 The mindset that helps you stop shrinking and start shining
🔑 Why authenticity, not perfection, is your true power

Because healing after divorce isn’t about pretending it’s all okay — it’s about remembering who you are when you finally stop asking for permission to be her.

Co-parenting after divorce is tough—and it gets even harder when a new partner enters the picture. Do you collaborate with your ex’s new partner, or set firm boundaries?

In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I share real stories from both sides—navigating life with a stepparent as a parent, and stepping into the role of stepparent myself. You’ll hear the honest truths about blended families, boundaries, and how to protect your kids’ wellbeing while choosing peace over drama.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways

• The biggest risks (and benefits) of working with your ex’s new partner

• Why clear intentions and boundaries matter more than ever

• How to handle the “two vs. one” power dynamic

• Tools to manage triggers and choose peace over drama

• Why blended families are the new norm—and how to make them work

Remember: at the end of the day, it’s not about winning against your ex or their partner—it’s about what’s best for the kids.

What if the pain you’ve been carrying after divorce isn’t just “in your head”… but living in your body?
