As a mama, protection comes with the job. Protecting our kids, our home, our friends & family...even our soon-to-be-ex. But who’s protecting YOU?

I’m KristenNoel, certified divorce coach and creator of the Intuitive Divorce. In today’s episode, I dive into the concept of 'emotional guardrails' — a key tenet of divorcing differently.

I also share a few personal experiences to underscore the importance of prioritizing your mental health during this challenging time.
