    *************************************************************************************

    In today's episode we dive deep into why women fresh out of divorce struggle to choose what supports their healing, even when they know what to do.

    We're going to unpack the sneaky emotional loops that make short-term relief like numbing, people-pleasing, getting into a fight with your ex feel safer than long-term healing, and how your nervous system is often still in survival mode, prioritizing comfort over growth.

    We're also going to talk about why you're more afraid of being rejected by others than you are aware of how often you're rejecting yourself. This episode isn't about shaming yourself for not doing enough. It's about understanding why it feels so hard and what to do differently.

    I'm going to give you a very specific calendar task plus a three-question prompt to guide you in that exact moment when you feel the urge to avoid the thing you know would help you heal. You can access the full episode by becoming a premium subscriber, which is just $5 a month.

    ************************************************************************************* Ever wonder if you’re breaking the generational cycle of pain, or just barely keeping your head above water as you parent through divorce?

    If you’re in the chaos of post-divorce parenting—where emotions explode, loyalties get tangled, and everyone tells you how you “should” handle your children’s pain—you’re not alone.

    Most of us never learned how to hold our kids’ big feelings and our own; we just want our children to feel safe and stay connected, even as we’re rebuilding life from the ground up.

    You’ll walk away from this episode with a fresh understanding of:

    • What “emotional safety” actually means for kids navigating divorce (hint: it isn’t about keeping things calm or perfect)
    • Concrete, nervous-system-friendly techniques for co-regulating with your child through meltdowns and chaos.
    • Powerful, real-world scripts for making deep repairs when you inevitably get it wrong.

    Press play now to discover how you can show up—imperfectly, vulnerably, and powerfully—for your child, and yourself, during your messiest seasons.

    Are you doing all the right things to heal after divorce—journaling, breathwork, therapy—yet still feel stuck in a painfully slow and lonely waiting room?

    So many of us yearn for real progress after heartbreak, but no one warns us about the messiness and isolation of the “middle” stage. It can feel like you’re invisible, wondering if you’re actually moving forward or just spinning in circles, all while you’re quietly reconstructing your life from the ground up.

    Listening to this episode will help you:
    • Discover the three critical questions that serve as a “real-time report card” to assess your true healing progress and clarity.
    • Learn a somatic grounding practice you can use anytime to reconnect with your body, shift heavy energy, and settle your nervous system when hope feels far away.
    • Understand why the “slow and lonely” middle doesn’t mean you’re failing—but that you’re becoming—and how to surround yourself with energy and support that truly align with your goals.

    Hey love. Today’s episode isn’t in the main feed. It’s something I created just for premium subscribers...

    For just $5/month, you can unlock this episode and all your premium content created for women like you who are ready for deeper healing and real support.

    What if the real reason you’re struggling with dating after divorce isn’t apps, bad luck, or a lack of available partners—but a hidden disbelief in love itself?

    If you’ve found yourself swiping endlessly, feeling exhausted by the dating scene, or doubting that real love is out there for you (especially if you’re a woman over 40 or 50), this episode will hit close to home. Too many divorced women get caught in a cycle of self-sabotage, without realizing the biggest block isn’t “no good men”—it’s their own unexamined beliefs and unresolved wounds.

    In this conversation with renowned life coach Laurie Gerber, you’ll discover:

    • The “3H Method” to honestly assess your desires (head, heart, and hoo-ha!) so you stop settling and start attracting real matches.
    • Why pausing to do your inner work will actually accelerate finding meaningful love—and how to detox from your past relationship patterns for good.
    • Tactical dating strategies for women with children, including how to talk to your kids and protect your own boundaries (without guilt or self-sacrifice).

    Don’t let invisible beliefs hold you back or waste more time—press play now to learn how to clear your biggest obstacles and finally create the love story you truly desire!

    Hey love, quick question—
    Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Where did I go?"
    Like you're watching your life from the outside, floating through the motions, showing up for everyone else while quietly disappearing from yourself?

    If that hit a nerve, I need you to hear this:
    You’re not broken. You’re likely dissociating.
    And it’s way more common than we talk about—especially after divorce.

    In this premium episode of Dear Divorce Diary, I’m breaking down what dissociation really is—not just “spacing out” but a full-on nervous system response to pain, overwhelm, and trauma.
    We’ll talk about the subtle signs you might be missing, why your brain had to do it to protect you, and how it’s possibly affecting your ability to heal, trust again, or even feel safe in your own skin.

    I’ll also walk you through a soothing, guided reflection—designed to help you gently come home to yourself.

    This is the kind of episode that hits deep and starts real change.
    It’s raw, comforting, and it’s available now exclusively for our premium subscribers.

    So if you’re ready to stop feeling like a stranger in your own life and start reconnecting with the woman you’re becoming—
    Tap the link in the show notes, subscribe to premium, and I’ll meet you inside Episode 240.

    You deserve this kind of healing.
    I’ll see you there. 💛

    Has anyone ever told you to just "move on" after divorce, while inside you feel absolutely frozen, stuck, or overwhelmed by a pain you can’t quite name?

    If you’re struggling with sleepless nights, brain fog, intense emotions, or simply can’t shake the feeling that something deeper is happening beneath the surface, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Many women are taught to tough it out after divorce, to be caretakers or to believe their pain "isn’t that bad," but the truth is: divorce often creates a trauma in your nervous system that can’t be ignored, minimized, or solved with willpower alone.

    In this episode, you’ll discover why divorce is much more than just the end of a relationship, how to spot the hidden signs your body and mind are carrying trauma, and what real trauma-oriented healing looks like beyond just talk therapy or advice to "cope" and "let it go."

    Listen now to reclaim your sense of wholeness—find out exactly how to honor the depth of your pain and start healing at a level that changes everything about how you move forward.

    How do you heal when your divorce means saying goodbye—not just to a spouse, but to an entire family you once called your own?

    If you’re navigating a separation, you already know the grief isn’t just about losing a partner. It’s about losing traditions, a sense of belonging, or even support systems that felt like home. The fallout can hit unexpectedly, even years later, complicating your healing and making it tough to truly move on.

    In this episode, you’ll discover why grieving the loss of your ex’s family can be as profound as grieving the marriage itself, how to actually process and move through that particular pain rather than dismissing or avoiding it, and actionable tools for building an even stronger, healthier support network that is uniquely yours.
