• Ep. 290 - Why Cord Cutting Doesn’t Work After Divorce (And the Practice That Actually Breaks the Nervous-System Grip)
    Dec 4 2025

    Letting go after divorce isn’t about willpower.
    It’s about physiology.

    Your body won’t release someone until it feels anchored somewhere safer than the place it’s been clinging.
    And that’s why cord-cutting rituals, no-contact declarations, and “I’m done for real this time” moments almost never stick.

    In this guided premium episode, we’re not letting go into emptiness...we’re letting go into self-belonging, the only place your nervous system actually trusts.

    Inside this practice, you’ll experience:

    • a guided drop-in to help your body feel held enough to release
    • why your system keeps reaching for someone who once felt like safety
    • the subtle shift that makes letting go feel possible, not terrifying
    • a “My Body Said No” moment that clarifies what part of you is resisting
    • one sentence to use when you feel the urge to reach back out

    This is the deeper work:
    not forcing yourself to let go...
    but giving your nervous system a safer place to land.

    Press play when you're ready to feel a real shift, not just think about one.

  • 289. Trauma Bond Signs You Can’t Ignore After Divorce (& What to Do When Your Body Wants Him Back)
    Dec 2 2025

    If you’ve ever felt that tug toward your ex...not the man, but the idea of him...we've got you. That pull is your nervous system trying to finish a story it never got closure on. And after divorce, that pull gets loud.

    In this episode, we break down why trauma bonds feel like soul ties and why your body keeps reaching for someone who couldn’t give you safety. You’ll learn what’s actually happening in your brain, why familiar pain feels magnetic, and how to interrupt the urge to text him back.

    We also give you a simple sentence you can use the second your spiral starts, and we help you begin separating trauma from truth—because those two feel identical when you’re hurting.

    And inside Cocoon this week, we’re celebrating wins, joy, and nervous-system rehab with this month’s Magic Drop giveaway. (If you’re not in the community yet… get in there.)

    If peace feels unfamiliar, if chaos feels like home, if your body keeps wanting what your mind already left—this one’s for you.

    Don’t miss Thursday’s premium episode. Dawn is guiding you through a nervous-system visualization designed to soften the cord where it actually lives—in your body. It’s how you break the loop for real.

  • Ep. 288 - Calming Public Grief After Divorce: A Quick Nervous-System Reset (Grocery Store or Family Bathroom Edition)
    Nov 27 2025

    Sometimes panic doesn’t wait for privacy.
    It hits in the grocery store aisle, the Target parking lot, or right between the pasta sauce and the paper towels — the places where your body finally says, “No. I can’t hold this alone anymore.”

    This premium episode is your real-time grounding track for those moments.
    A full nervous-system reset you can use while you’re actively panicking — not later, not in hindsight, but right there, in public, while your heart is racing and your manager parts are trying to keep it all together.

    Inside, Dawn guides you through:

    • A My Body Said No moment — how to recognize it and respond without shame
    • A sensory grounding ritual you can use anywhere (yes, even aisle 7)
    • Gentle IFS language for your Manager, Firefighter, and Exile parts
    • A somatic breath pattern (“baking bread + blowing on soup”) that brings your body back online
    • A quiet reconnection to the truth: you belong to yourself, even while you’re not okay

    This is your pocket guide for public panic — steadying, human, and deeply regulating.
    Come back to it anytime your nervous system needs someone to sit with you and help you breathe again.

  • 287. The Grocery Store Aisle That Breaks You: Why Everyday Moments Hurt Most After Divorce
    Nov 25 2025

    ...and then there’s the moment you’re just standing in the pasta sauce aisle, realizing your life doesn’t come in a set of two anymore.

    No one warns you about that part of life after divorce.
    The everyday grief.

    The way your stomach drops when you reach for a family-size anything and remember: it’s just me now.

    In this episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff unpack why the tiny, ordinary moments hit harder than the big ones — and why the grocery store aisle can feel like a spiritual breakdown near the beans.

    You’ll learn:

    • why these moments have little to do with missing him
    • what’s actually happening in your nervous system when that wave hits
    • the parts of you (IFS) that come online in grocery-store grief
    • why your identity feels shaky, young, or overwhelmed
    • the difference between the “old hard” and the “new hard” of healing
    • why your body says no long before your mind catches on
    • how to honor your capacity during the holidays
    • the sentence that will ground you instantly when the grief sneaks up

    And later, in our My Body Said No segment, we share the real, raw ways our bodies are setting boundaries this season — and how honoring those no’s is a core part of healing divorce grief.

    If you’ve ever pretended to compare marinara jars just to get a second to breathe… this episode will feel like someone finally naming what you’ve been carrying.

    Love you.
    See you Thursday for the grounding ritual inside our premium episode.

  • Ep. 286 - A Holiday Loneliness Reset: A Nervous-System Ritual for Divorce Nights That Feel Too Quiet
    Nov 20 2025

    If you pressed play on this tonight, it probably means the quiet hit differently.
    Not the peaceful kind — the kind that presses against your ribs and makes your chest feel too small for your own heart.

    The kind of quiet that shows up after divorce, when the world is flashing warm twinkle-light romance and happy-family commercials, and you're sitting in a room trying to remember how to breathe in your own life.

    This episode is your place to land.

    Inside this premium session, Dawn guides you through a gentle but powerful nervous-system practice designed for the exact kind of ache that shows up when the house gets still, the loneliness gets loud, and you feel like you're carrying your healing alone.

    This is not about escaping the ache.
    It's about not having to feel it alone.

    You’ll be held through:

    • A grounding somatic sequence to bring you out of the spiral and back into your body
    • A breath pattern (“baking bread breaths”) that softens the panic response
    • A three-point sensory reorientation technique for moments when you feel unmoored
    • A nervous-system affirmation practice to remind your psyche that you are becoming, not breaking
    • A guidance sequence from your future self — the woman who cannot be lost in someone else again
    • A moment of truth-telling: loneliness is not your identity; it’s a moment passing through your body
    • A closing ritual that helps you feel rooted, warm, and safe enough to stay with yourself

    This episode is the kind you save.

    For the nights when your chest feels like a raw nerve.
    For the holidays, the empty rooms, the too-quiet evenings.
    For anytime you need someone to meet you in the dark and sit with you until you feel like you again.

    Come breathe with Dawn.
    Come anchor back into the woman you’re rising into.

    You’re here — and you’re not leaving you.

  • 285. When Everyone Else Looks Happy & You Feel Alone: Holiday Grief During Divorce
    Nov 18 2025

    The holidays don’t just remind you who’s at your table...
    They remind you who isn’t.

    When you’re divorced, that quiet has a sound.
    It’s the clink of one mug instead of two.
    The solo grocery run.
    The ache of seeing everyone else’s “perfect” family photos.
    And the part no one talks about?
    Your nervous system feels all of it long before your mind catches up.

    In this episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff walk you through why holiday grief hits differently... not just emotionally, but neurologically.
    Your brain codes the holidays as both comfort and threat, and that dual-wiring explains so much of the confusion, anxiety, tight chest, and “I don’t belong anywhere” thoughts that tend to surface this time of year.

    And today, we’re going to help you work with all of it.

    In this episode:

    Why holiday grief feels louder in your body
    — the neuroscience behind scents, memories, and tradition triggering loss and longing

    The real reason divorced women feel like they “don’t belong anywhere”
    — and how this actually traces back to belonging to yourself

    The phrase to repeat at any holiday party when your chest tightens
    “I am safe to be seen in this moment.”

    A 60-second bathroom-stall nervous system reset
    Cold-water wrists, humming, squats, breath work — your new somatic toolkit for holiday overwhelm

    How to turn this season from performance into personal power
    (New traditions, choosing yourself, claiming authenticity, and ditching the performative holiday mask)

    Why your circle shifts after divorce
    — and why that shift is actually a sign of growth, not failure

    This episode is a warm hand on your back, reminding you that nothing about your holiday pain means you’re behind, broken, or unlovable. It means your nervous system still remembers love — and is learning how to feel safe again without him.

    This week’s Thursday Premium episode is a guided, real-time grounding practice for the exact moment your nervous system spirals — in the grocery store aisle, the car, or the corner of the holiday party.

    If you’re not a premium listener yet, now is the season to join.
    You’ll get:

    – Monthly live workshop with Dawn

  • Ep. 284 - You Can’t Heal From Divorce Without This Kind of Forgiveness
    Nov 13 2025

    You can talk about healing all day long…
    But until you learn this kind of forgiveness, you’ll keep carrying him—
    in your body, your triggers, your next relationship.

    In this Dear Divorce Diary Premium episode, we get real about the difference between talking about forgiveness and actually feeling it.

    You’ll walk through three powerful journal prompts that expose the exact places you’re still holding on—
    and teach your body how to finally let go.

    This isn’t about being the bigger person.
    It’s about ending the loop.

    If you’re tired of “working on yourself” but still feel the ache, this is the episode that moves the needle.

    🎧 Exclusive to premium subscribers — because the real healing work deserves privacy, honesty, and depth.

  • 283. When Divorce Resentment Won’t Let You Breathe
    Nov 11 2025

    You swore you were past it.
    You journaled, forgave, meditated, did the work.

    But then a photo shows up, or someone says his name, and your chest tightens again. That’s resentment — the emotion that doesn’t move out just because you tell it to.

    In this episode, we stop pretending it’s gone.
    We talk about what keeps it alive, why it feeds on validation, and what’s hiding under all that anger.

    Joy shares the text that broke her cool...Tiff opens up about being the one who always held it all together while he got to play the “fun dad.”...And I talk about the moment I realized my resentment wasn’t about him anymore (it was about the part of me that still didn’t feel safe alone).

    We get honest about the apology that never helps, the waiting for closure that keeps you stuck, and the small ways resentment protects you from feeling the harder stuff underneath: grief, fear, loneliness, shame.

    If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just move on?” — this one’s for you.

    Join Premium where we dont just name the pain- we release it!

    This Thursday episode, The 3 Questions You Can’t Avoid If You Actually Want to Let Go. Premium is where we stop talking about healing and start doing it — together.
