Becoming You Again: Recent Episodes
Karin Nelson
Becoming You Again is for women going through divorce who need guidance and support. In this podcast you'll learn from Karin Nelson, a certified confidence divorce coach, on three main pillars that will help you as you create an even better life than when you were married. You'll learn about creating a solid, authentic identify full of self love and confidence, how to be emotionally resilient taking back control over your own emotional life, and how to live a truly independent life after divorce.
Betrayal during a marriage can make you question your own mind, your memories, and your ability to trust what’s right in front of you. If infidelity, lying, hiding, or a double life showed up in your marriage this episode can be your next step in your divorce healing journey.
This is the second episode in the Ex-Files where I'm talking about why betrayal pain feels so different from “normal” breakup grief, and why your brain may keep reaching into the past to re-check old moments for clues. I share the validation so many women need to hear: being deceived is not evidence you’re naive, broken, or unlovable. I explain concepts like betrayal trauma and betrayal blindness, and how intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, and sleepless nights can be a documented nervous system response, not a personal failure.
From there, I get practical. I walk you through how to rebuild self-trust after betrayal by separating facts from the story your brain layers on top, grieving the reality you thought you were living in, and setting boundaries with rumination so you’re not trapped in the 2 a.m. timeline replay. You’ll also learn grounding tools you can use immediately and a simple approach to rebuilding confidence through small daily decisions that honor your intuition.
If you’re ready to stop outsourcing closure and start coming home to yourself, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick rating or review so more women can find support when betrayal turns their world upside down.

Your ex starts dating again and you're surprised by your reaction of finding yourself crying in the car, obsessing at night, or feeling that tight, panicky drop in your stomach. It can be so confusing especially when YOU DON'T EVEN WANT HIM BACK!
In this first episode of my Ex-Files series I'm talking about what’s actually happening in your brain and nervous system when your ex “moves on” and why you can feel things without it meaning that there must be something wrong with you. I talk about all the stories that we carry with us like, he moved on so he won, she replaced me, and the one that I suffered from - I’m behind.
You’ll leave with practical tools you can use any time you might be prone to have this kind of nervous system response including before drop-offs or family events, with social media, how to handle nosy questions, breaking up rumination and where to focus your attention moving forward.
Make sure to check back next week for the next episode in the Ex-Files series where I go deeper with healing after betrayal.

“Why didn’t I leave sooner?” can feel like a realistic question but the most real thing about it is how full of shame and self judgement that question is. We turn hindsight into a weapon and put the past version of us on trial. I want to slow that moment down and offer a different path, one rooted in self-worth after divorce and real emotional resilience.
I'll talk you through what’s actually underneath that question, the fear of “What’s wrong with me?” and why that belief is both untrue and unhelpful. I share how I coach women to widen the lens and find the real reasons staying made sense. Those reasons are not character flaws. They’re information, and they can be the start of post-divorce healing instead of another loop of self-criticism.
Then we walk through the emotional stages that often come before leaving a marriage. I also offer a powerful reframe to practice right away so you can rebuild self-trust after divorce.

“I just don’t want to be miserable anymore” sounds reasonable after divorce, but it can also trap you in a life where you never really stretch yourself or create something really incredible after divorce. So in this episode I'm talking about audacity: the decision to want more, believe more, and build more, even when you don’t have proof yet and even when a small scared part of your brain says it’s safer to stay realistic.
We dig into why so many divorcing and divorced women shrink their dreams after years of self-abandonment and survival mode, and how that “fine is good enough” mindset becomes the blueprint for what comes next. I unpack the fear behind big hopes, especially the fear of being wrong, being judged, or feeling humiliated, and I offer a reframe that changes everything.
I also share a personal story from my own divorce and the audacious choice I made about co-parenting after betrayal, long before I had any evidence it would work. It wasn’t perfect, but it became possible because I kept moving from toward the vision instead letting my fears of it not working out hold me back. You’ll leave with a simple one-week practice to define an “unreasonable” desire for your post-divorce life and start showing up like that future is already in motion.

If you’ve ever caught yourself checking someone’s face, tone, or mood to decide whether you’re “okay,” you’re not overreacting and you’re not broken. In this episode I talk about the pattern behind that reflex and why it feels so intense during divorce and divorce recovery: emotional outsourcing, or the habit of sourcing safety, belonging, and self-worth from outside yourself instead of from within.
I'll unpack how emotional outsourcing can masquerade as people pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency, and why those behaviors often make perfect sense when your nervous system has spent years in survival mode. I share how marriage can reinforce the cycle, especially when approval, emotional distance, or the silent treatment becomes the signal you use to measure your value. Then we look at why divorce can feel like the floor drops out, because the external “okayness” system disappears right when you need stability most.
You’ll hear a simple self-assessment for safety, worth, and belonging, plus a small practice you can use immediately. We also talk about the goal of interdependence, building inner emotional safety and self-esteem while still creating real connection with others.
If you’re ready to stop asking for permission to feel okay and start trusting yourself again, press play, then subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a rating or review. What’s one place you notice yourself outsourcing your worth right now?

Your body isn’t “being dramatic” after divorce, it’s doing its best to protect you. When your nervous system gets stuck in fight-or-flight or shutdown, you can feel tense, numb, hyper-alert, or exhausted. I'll walk you through a simple somatic practice that helps you feel safe in your body again without overthinking your way out of stress.
I teach pendulation, a nervous system regulation tool from Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing work. The idea is really simple: notice a place of discomfort in the body, then intentionally shift your attention to a place that feels more neutral or easy, and slowly move back and forth like a pendulum. You’re not trying to force calm, fix your feelings, or make tension disappear. You’re training your body to remember it can move between hard and easy, and that neither state has to take over forever.
You’ll get a step-by-step guided process you can use in two minutes or ten, whether you’re dealing with divorce anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or that familiar sense of being stuck. If you want a practical, trauma-informed way to rebuild self-trust and resilience from the inside out, press play.

Perfectionist fantasies of what tomorrow will bring during divorce can feel useful - like we're moving toward something. Your brain whispers, “Once the decree is signed, once the schedule is set, once the kids adjust, once I heal, then I’ll finally feel calm.” But what if that promise is the very thing keeping you stuck?
In this episode I dig into two sneaky patterns that show up during and after divorce: perfectionist fantasies and tomorrow thinking. Perfectionism doesn’t always look like striving or being “Type A” it often sounds like totally normal thoughts such as “I should have my life together by now” or “I’ll finally feel okay when everything is settled.” I talk about how those expectations can erase the real progress you’re already making, including the peaceful moments you don’t even notice because they don’t match the fantasy.
I share a powerful coaching story from a client who expected instant relief, plus the deeper reason “imagining your future self” can feel so good while also fueling procrastination. I also connect the dots between perfectionism, fear of mistakes, harsh self-judgment, and why starting can feel unbearable even when you care deeply.
You’ll leave with three tools to get out of the fantasy and back into your real life today. If this helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s navigating divorce recovery, and leave a quick review so more women can find the support they need.

There's a moment after divorce when you realize at some point, someone new might see you naked can hit like a wave after divorce. If your first thought is I need to change my body before I’m allowed to date, be touched, or feel confident in myself, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. We’re getting honest about where that fear really comes from, and why it isn’t proof that your body is wrong.
I take a look at how body image after divorce is shaped by messages you absorbed long before you had the critical thinking skills to question them. Beauty standards are not universal, and history makes that painfully clear: what’s been labeled “ideal” swings wildly across cultures and across decades. When the target keeps moving, chasing it can only keep you stuck in comparison, shame, and the feeling that your worth is conditional. I also touch on how the beauty industry is constantly moving the target to keep up the multibillion dollar industry it is, and to keep you constantly feeling not good enough.
From there, we get practical. I share how radical body love can be the destination, while body neutrality is often the bridge, using factual language to calm judgment and rebuild trust with yourself. You’ll also get two powerful journaling questions to expose the permission you think a different body will grant you, plus concrete steps to feel safer in your skin, from reshaping your social media inputs to practicing being in your body instead of policing it.

Your brain can turn divorce into a courtroom where every thought sounds like evidence and every feeling becomes a verdict. We’re slowing that whole process down and letting you know what’s really going on: cognitive distortions, or in other words, “brain lies” that spike divorce.
I break down four patterns that show up for so many divorcing and divorced women: all or nothing thinking (I’m either winning or failing), mind reading (everyone definitely hates me), catastrophizing (one hard moment means my future is ruined), and “should” statements (I should be over this by now). I'll also share the real-life ways these distortions hit parenting, co-parenting, and self-trust, plus why your brain loves to collect “evidence” for a story it invented.
Then I move into what to do when you catch yourself spiraling. Think less about perfection and more about being honest with what's true for you.
If you want deeper support, I also share how one-on-one divorce coaching can help you implement these tools with weekly practice and guidance.

That moment when you finally get quiet and realize you don’t know what you want anymore can feel terrifying and weirdly ordinary at the same time. Today I’m going to shine a light on what’s happening for so many women in unhappy marriages and in the aftermath of divorce: identity loss through self-abandonment, the slow, almost invisible disappearing act that can look like love while it quietly erases you.
I'll talk about how this pattern builds over years through tiny decisions like deferring to his preferences and decisions, putting your needs at the bottom of the list, and learning to distrust your intuition. I connect the dots between cultural conditioning, the pressure to be the caretaker and emotional manager, and why so many women only initiate divorce after they’ve tried everything.
Then we get practical. I walk through clear signs of emotional self-abandonment. And I finish the episode with five simple steps to rebuild self-trust. I also share my guide, 115 Ways to Get to Know You, if you want a fun place to start.

Comparison after divorce can feel like a punch to the gut. One run-in with your ex, one hard kid drop-off, or one “perfect life” scroll on Instagram and suddenly your mind is building a case that you’re behind, broken, or failing. I’m Karin Nelson, a divorce coach, and I want to slow that moment down with you and show you what’s actually happening so you can stop treating the comparison as proof that there's something wrong with you.
We start by naming the comparison trap and why it’s so common for divorcing and divorced women. Your brain is wired to compare for safety, and divorce flips so many parts of life at once that your mind goes into overdrive trying to restore certainty. The problem isn’t that you compare. The problem is the harsh meaning you pile on top of it and how your brain cherry-picks “evidence” to support the story you already fear.
Then I give you five practical steps you can use the next time comparison shows up. I also talk about the standards you’ve been handed by culture, religion, and media and how freedom starts when you decide what happiness, success, and family mean for you now.

Divorce can turn even simple choices into second-guessing spirals. If you’ve been asking yourself, “Why can’t I trust my own judgment anymore?”, we’re going straight to the root: self-trust is the foundation for everything you do in your life moving forward after divorce; under every boundary, every parenting decision, every next step. When that foundation feels shaky, everything else feels wobbly too, no matter how good your lawyer is or how many spreadsheets you make.
I dive into the history of where women began learning that we can't trust our own authority. For thousands of years, women have been trained to doubt their instincts and hand over authority to someone else, often a husband or partner. I talk about how that conditioning shows up in real life during divorce, how fear keeps us people pleasing and stuck in survival mode, and why courage isn’t “no fear” but choosing to trust yourself while fear rides in the passenger seat.
Then we get practical with five steps to rebuild self-trust after divorce starting with getting present to reassure your nervous system you're safe and ending with giving yourself permission.
If you’re ready to rebuild confidence, reconnect with your intuition, and make decisions from clarity instead of panic, press play. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs steadiness, and leave a quick review so more women can find this support.

Your mind may be ready to “move on” after divorce, but your body might still be living in survival mode. When divorce shakes your sense of stability, even ordinary moments can trigger a surge of stress that feels bigger than the situation. In this episode I’ll want to give you a reset you can use immediately, wherever you find yourself.
I walk through a fast grounding technique designed to help your nervous system feel safe again. With this grounding technique you’re giving your brain and body a clear cue that you’re here, you’re present, and you’re not in danger. I also give a quick explanation to the “why” behind grounding, including how your system can react to perceived threats and why practices that reconnect you to your body can support healing after divorce.

You can’t heal when you’re carrying emotions that were never yours to hold. If you’ve been trying to keep your ex calm, your kids happy, your mom reassured, your coworkers comfortable, and everyone else okay, this conversation is the the wake up call you need.
I walk through a simple but life changing truth: your thoughts create your feelings, and their thoughts create theirs. That means your ex doesn’t “make” you feel anything, and you don’t “make” him feel anything either. I’ll unpack why so many women have been trained into emotional labor and people pleasing, and how that training shows up after divorce as overexplaining, unnecessary apologizing, softening boundaries, and living on edge while you monitor someone else’s mood.
We also talk about what real kindness looks like when you stop taking ownership of other people’s emotions. You’ll learn how to hold space without spiraling into guilt, how to apologize when it’s truly warranted without being defensive, and how emotional detachment after divorce can actually make you more present, more loving, and more grounded. I end the episode with a practical awareness exercise you can use right now to reclaim your energy and set boundaries without managing the reaction.

Your divorce isn’t proof that you’re broken, but society loves to whisper that it is. I’m Karin Nelson, a certified divorce coach, and I’m pulling apart the old story that ties women’s worth to marriage so you can finally see it for what it is: conditioning, not truth.
We start with something subtle but powerful, the way even a stranger’s divorce headline can trigger grief and judgment before we know any details. That reaction is learned. From books and movies to religion and family scripts, women are often taught that the highest achievement is being chosen by a man, staying chosen, and making the marriage last forever. When a relationship ends, that message stacks shame on top of normal grief and makes an already hard situation feel even heavier.
Then I zoom out and share a bit of history that reveals how intentional this messaging can be, including the evolution of the word “spinster” from a respected job title to an insult. We also talk about how legal structures around divorce have changed over time, and why modern freedom to leave doesn’t automatically erase old stigma. The core takeaway is simple and steady: your worth is inherent. It did not rise on your wedding day, and it does not drop because you divorced, asked for divorce, or were left.
To make it practical, I guide you through a short exercise you can do this week to identify the specific thought creating shame, trace where it came from, and decide whether you want to keep believing it.

Your divorce can be messy on the outside but the most exhausting battles often happen inside your own head. When a thought like “I’m not good enough” lands, it doesn’t just feel bad, it can hijack your body, your confidence, and your ability to make clear decisions. I’m Karin Nelson, a divorce coach, and I’m walking you through what’s really happening in those moments so you can stop treating your brain’s stories as unquestionable truth.
I start by redefining negative thoughts in a way that actually helps. Instead of labeling thoughts as “good” or “bad” based on how they sound, we use a nervous-system and intuition lens: does the thought feel open and aligned, or tight and contractive? I also separate facts from personal truth so you can make choices that fit your real life, not your fear, guilt, or other people’s opinions. You’ll hear a personal example of how a thought that looks heavy on paper can feel calm and right in your body.
Then I break down the brain’s five-step playbook for turning a lie into a “fact,” including the nervous system hook, the tunnel vision, the evidence-stacking, the way your mind rejects support, and the weird little reward that keeps the loop alive. Finally, you’ll get three practical tools for divorce recovery and mindset support you can use immediately: awareness questions, body-based regulation, and self-compassion that builds real self-trust.

Divorce can make even simple choices feel impossible because you’re not just changing your schedule, you’re rebuilding your identity. When you’re flooded with decisions about where to live, how to co-parent, what work looks like now, and who you want to be on the other side, you need something steadier than opinions and “shoulds.” That’s where your values come in.
I share why personal values are one of the most overlooked tools for divorce recovery and life after divorce, and how getting clear on what truly matters to you creates a practical decision-making compass. I talk about the difference between values you inherited from family, religion, or culture and the values you actively choose because they fit your intuition, your lived experience, and the woman you’re becoming.
I also dig into extrinsic goals versus intrinsic goals and why chasing outside approval can feel so gross. You’ll understand how patriarchy uses measuring sticks for women to live a constrained life and how to decide whether you want to continue using those measuring sticks in your own life.
You’ll leave with with prompts to identify a handful of core values and start using them as a filter for relationships, boundaries, rest, authenticity, and your next big steps.

Your kids don’t need a perfect script. They need you regulated, clear, and willing to hold space for whatever they might feel without making them responsible for yours. I’ll walk you through telling your children you’re getting a divorce, and doing it in a way that helps protect their sense of safety, love, and stability.
I share how to prepare before the conversation. I talk about the timing of having this conversation and a few ways to give your kids extra support after they hear the news of the divorce.
Then I lay out the five most important things your kids need to hear most when you tell them about the divorce. If you know this conversation is coming up for you and your kids, this episode is a MUST listen.

If the voice in your head gets cruel after divorce, it can feel like you’ll never be “okay” again, even when you’re doing everything you can to hold life together. I’m digging into the one skill that changes the entire healing process: self-compassion. Not the fake kind that says “it’s all fine,” but the kind that helps you stay accountable without drowning in shame.
I look at why self-criticism feels like motivation but actually keeps you stuck. When you beat yourself up, your nervous system reads it as danger, your danger response goes up, and the part of you that can problem-solve and make wise choices gets dimmer. It's why you can’t hate yourself into healing. From there, I teach you how to easily start using self-compassion by becoming your own inner ally.
I also share Kristin Neff’s three elements of self-compassion and end with a simple, repeatable practice you can use the moment the “mean girl” voice shows up. If you’re ready for deeper support, I also offer a free 30-minute call and one-on-one coaching for women navigating divorce and rebuilding self-trust.

Your body can go from pretty calm to dysregulated in seconds during divorce, and it is not a sign you are failing. When a text from your ex lands, when mediation gets tense, or when you feel that familiar wave of panic, shutdown, anger, or grief, you need something practical that works fast. I share grounding techniques you can do in 30 to 60 seconds to help your nervous system settle just enough to think clearly and stay connected to yourself.
We focus on sensory grounding because your senses are a direct bridge back to the present moment where healing happens. I guide you through seven quick sensory grounding techniques you can use any time you find yourself shutting down or completely activated.
You do not need to do every technique or do it “perfectly” to get the benefit. Pick one or two that resonate, keep them in your back pocket, and revisit this anytime you need a quick nervous system regulation tool for divorce recovery and emotional resilience.

Have you ever thought something like, “If my ex would just take accountability for his actions and apologize, then I could finally move on” or something similar, then this episode is for you. It’s possible that you’re waiting for two words that feel like they would change everything: “I’m sorry.” This conversation will help you see the real cost of that wait and the real freedom on the other side of it. I’m talking about the kind of closure after divorce that doesn’t depend on someone else’s insight, remorse, or character growth.
I share a coaching moment that starts with a simple question that will help you identify what’s really behind the need for an apology. For so many of us, the answer is not about the past at all. It’s about wanting to feel seen, significant, and like we matter. From there, we look at how resentment can quietly drain your energy and keep your ex living in your head rent-free, and why self-trust after divorce grows when you stop outsourcing your healing.
We also talk about an important truth in emotional healing: you don’t have to forgive to move on, especially if you were harmed. You can set boundaries, co-parent if you need to, and still reclaim your life without forcing yourself into fake forgiveness. I’ll walk you through how to create the feeling you’re chasing from the inside out by practicing self-regard and choosing thoughts that support your next chapter.

This episode is honoring the women who came before us highlighting the history behind ‘choice’ and why being able to choose to stay in a marriage or leave is not something to take for granted.
I share the milestones that changed what was possible for women in the United States: from voting rights, to having a bank account in their name, from being able to rent or buy a house without a male co-signer and more.
Then I get specific about no-fault divorce and how this law changed the rules and opened up actual options and choice for women of today – including you.
And lastly, I offer a reframe for anyone carrying divorce shame. If you’re rebuilding after divorce, learning to trust yourself again, or considering your next step, I hope this lights something up in you.

Ever feel like your brain won’t stop replaying the divorce story while your heart is begging for some peace? I'm talking about the difference between rumination and actual emotional processing, and why staying in your head keeps you in the emotional pain loop. Instead of rehashing texts and rewriting the past, I'll guide you back into your body (which is where your feelings actually live) so grief, anger, and sadness can move through instead of turning into exhaustion. No perfection required for this healing tool because small acts of practice create capacity and growth.
We also draw a sharp line between reflection and spiraling. Reflection extracts lessons and next steps; spiraling feeds old stories and steals energy. You’ll leave with steps to identify the emotion you're avoiding, a tiny micro-practice to ride the emotional wave without fueling it, and language to treat yourself like a human instead of a project. Divorce brings a roller coaster of feelings, but you don’t have to be dragged by every loop. With skill, compassion, and a few seconds of brave attention, you can move from stuck to steady.

Your phone pings, your shoulders rise, and your chest tightens. Before you even read the text, your body declares an emergency. If divorce has you living on edge, this conversation is a guide to staying in charge of your choices even when your nervous system screams otherwise.
The truth is you don’t need perfect calm to make decisions that support you during divorce. You’ve been deciding under stress all along. The real skill is widening the space between trigger and response so your values, not adrenaline, steer the moment. You’ll hear practical, repeatable tools to help you learn to do this.
If you’re ready to respond to texts, mediation, and co-parenting with more self trust and power, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs steadier footing, and leave a quick review to help more women find these tools. Tell us: what’s one micro-pause you’ll practice this week?

When the marriage ends, the mirror that once reflected your worth often goes with it. I'll examine what happens when you’ve spent years using someone else to outsource your value so you can feel whole.
I start by naming the cultural conditioning that tells women to be the supporting cast in everyone else’s story. If your worth was tied to keeping the peace, divorce can feel like failure. I challenge that script and replace it with a foundational truth: your worth is inherent, not earned.
From there, we share small, repeatable practices to shift your inner language helping you move from self-criticism to self-compassion with simple, real-life scripts you can say out loud. Think of it as strength training for your relationship with yourself: light reps, done daily, that add up to lasting change.
You’ll learn how to recognize validation loops, how to sit with uncomfortable truths without spiraling, and how to treat your future self like a trusted friend. I'll show you how to anchor to your own knowing when decisions feel heavy, and why compliments, new partners, or perfect co-parenting can be delightful but should never be the source of your value.
If you’re ready to stop waiting for someone else to tell you you’re enough, press play. Subscribe for more tools each week, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review because it helps other women find their way back to themselves.

When divorce blows up the labels you’ve lived with like that of wife, partner, the one who holds it all together, what’s left can feel confusing and unknown. That's when insecurity rears it's ugly head. In this episode, I talk about why insecurity really is...spoiler alert - it's not a feeling, but instead a belief system wired by impossible, contradictory standards. Instead of chasing confidence by changing jobs, bodies, or relationship status, I make a case for something deeper: emotional security, the steady sense that you won’t abandon yourself when life gets messy.
I explore how cultural scripts teach women to shrink, self-monitor, and doubt their instincts, and why divorce often exposes those scripts rather than creating them. You'll get a reminder of Gloria’s powerful monologue from The Barbie Movie while I trace how how approval-seeking keeps you stuck and how self-trust begins with curiosity.
If you’re craving a map for life after divorce that doesn’t hinge on being chosen, this conversation will ground you. You’re not becoming someone else; you’re becoming you again defined by your values, protected by your boundaries, and guided by your own voice. If the episode resonates, follow the show, leave a rating, and share it with a friend who needs a guiding voice as they go through their divorce.

What if the fastest way to feel better after divorce wasn’t to push through and ignore the painful emotions, but to allow what’s already here? In this episode I’m going to be teaching you the most useful skill to make all of your divorce healing possible.
I start by breaking down the three common ways of dealing with emotions - resisting, avoiding, reacting and explain why they keep you stuck. Then I’ll introduce the fourth option: allowance. This practical, compassionate skill teaches you to name the emotion in a single word, locate it physically, and stay present until the chemical storm passes. No fixing, no judgment.
I’ll offer simple prompts to help you as you start implementing this skill into your daily life and finish up with my own example of how I used this just the other day in my personal life. This is how you rebuild trust in yourself after divorce: by proving, moment by moment, that no feeling is too big for you to handle. You don’t need to become a robot to move forward. You need a body-level practice that makes space for the full human experience.

The stories we believe about divorce can keep us stuck for years. In this episode I’ll cover four of the most insidious lies that we believe about divorce. These are four lies that permeate society and typically show up due to the social systems and structures that we live in.
I unpack the four common lies about divorce and replace them with grounded truths about kids’ well-being, self worth, failure, and “selfishness.” Then I offer practical tools to build stability, repair trust with yourself, and design relationships that match your values.
If you’re ready for divorce, but you have no idea what comes next...I offer a free next step session where you come and talk about what you're going through. You can schedule your free call by clicking the link in the description below.

Does making decisions make you feel anxious and confused? In this episode I go straight to the heart of decision‑making after divorce which is how to stop spinning, center your own opinion, and choose with clarity even when certainty doesn’t shows up.

Heartbreak and rejection hurts and when an ex chooses someone else, it’s easy to fall into the trap of “I wasn’t enough” or “she’s better than me.” In this episode I get honest about the stories we tell ourselves by helping you understand the brain’s need for certainty, recognizing emotional capacity as a driver of choices, and building thought ladders that replace shame with self-trust.
I share practical reframes that shift the focus from comparison to clarity. Instead of reading his decision like a report card on your value, we look at how people pick what matches their comfort level and why that has nothing to do with your worth. You’ll learn how to spot the “too much/not enough” loop, create new neural pathways with daily repetition, and anchor into a belief that changes everything: worth is non-negotiable and not dependent on being chosen.
This conversation is for anyone rebuilding after divorce, coping with infidelity fallout, or relearning how to trust themselves. By the end, you’ll have language for powerful reframes, small steps to create new healing beliefs, and a felt sense that you don’t need a partner to be whole.

=======================================
Big goals feel exciting until they demand a brand-new you by Monday. I'm teaching a different route: minimum baselines which are basically tiny, consistent actions that build real momentum without solely relying on your willpower. If you’re navigating life after divorce, this approach respects your bandwidth while still moving you toward the life you want.
I unpack why traditional resolutions collapse after two weeks and how the brain’s energy-saving design sabotages overnight reinventions. Then I teach you to flip the script: create habits that are so easy they’re almost impossible to skip. Think 15 minutes of movement three times a week, one fruit and one veggie twice a week, a $25 transfer to savings each paycheck, or a lights-out time on set days. You’ll learn how these baselines slip past resistance, carve new neural pathways, and steadily reshape identity from “I try” to “I follow through.”
You’ll also hear practical examples across fitness, food, sleep, money, and confidence, plus how to handle the voice that says small steps don’t matter. I show you how to celebrate both the baseline and any “extra” you feel like doing, without tying your worth to doing more. The real win is consistency and the self-trust it builds; that’s the foundation for bigger goals later.

In this episode I share a simple somatic self-holding practice that you can use anywhere to calm anxiety, quiet a racing mind, and remind your body it’s safe. This isn’t about forcing yourself to relax; it’s about giving your nervous system the cues it needs, like gentle touch, longer exhales, and compassionate words to settle into presence and rebuild trust from the inside out.
We start by reframing where safety comes from and why that matters so much when you’re navigating grief, legal stress, co‑parenting tensions, and sleepless nights. Then we walk through the practice step by step: how to position your hands and arms, what to notice in your breath, and which supportive phrases help your mind soften. You’ll learn why parasympathetic activation is the key to regulation, how to spot micro‑shifts like relaxed shoulders or an unclenched jaw, and how two minutes of focused contact can reset your day without special equipment or a quiet room.
Use this reset whenever rumination takes over, before a hard conversation, or after a triggering message. Save this guide for daily support, and share it with a friend who needs a calm, caring hug from within.

Sleepless nights aren’t just exhausting; they can make every text from an ex, every budget decision, and every co‑parenting handoff feel harder than it needs to be. I dig into why stress and rumination hijack your rest during divorce and how cortisol and adrenaline surge right when you want to drift off. Then I’ll shift to practical, evidence‑informed tools that restore a sense of safety in your body so falling asleep and staying asleep becomes more likely.
I walk you through 6 steps to help you create the perfect environment for a good night’s sleep during stressful situations from that take care of your inside (think nervous system regulation) to your outside (think bedroom ambiance).
You’ll also learn a compassionate approach to midnight wake-ups. The aim isn’t perfection; it’s a realistic 10% improvement that compounds into calmer days, a more regulated nervous system, better emotional resilience, and more energy for parenting, work, and healing. If you’re ready to trade 2 a.m. panic cycles for a plan you can use tonight, this conversation offers clear steps and steady encouragement.

One of the most disempowering things that we do to ourselves is let everything outside of us be in charge of our emotional life. This conversation is a guide to taking your emotional life back after divorce without minimizing the hard parts.
I start by untangling the thought–feeling–action loop and why confusing thoughts with feelings keeps you stuck. You’ll hear how naming a single emotion can calm your brain, what healthy detachment really looks like, and how to process emotions in your body so they stop running the show.
I’ll teach you how to get honest about the realities you face: messy co-parenting, unfair legal systems, financial strain, and cultural pressure. Owning your emotions is the practice of agency within tough circumstances.
By the end of this episode you’ll have a simple, repeatable method of processing through your emotions so you can finally step into the power that you’ve been missing in your own life.

A single look, a familiar tone, and suddenly your chest tightens and your jaw clenches. That immediate trigger and reminder of your ex is your body doing its best to protect you.

You’ll learn how to realign your nervous system so clarity can return. Then you can decide how to reconnect, repair and move forward allowing your child the space to be themselves while you manage your own emotional responsibility.

The holiday season can feel like a pressure cooker after divorce: new custody schedules, money stress, old traditions that no longer fit, and the unspoken rule that you must make it magical for everyone else. In this episode I’m offering you a different way forward. It’s one where you center yourself, protect your energy, and create a simpler, calmer season that actually feels like you.
I’ll break down the difference between performance mode and centered mode and why so many of us mistake exhaustion for devotion. You’ll come away from this episode with a better idea about what honest presence looks like for yourself during this holiday season rather than forced cheer. When you choose centered mode, you trade brittle perfection for steady, grounded care.
As a bonus, if you want extra support, I’ve created a short, self-paced holiday course for divorced women with short guided videos, journal prompts, reframes, and body-based practices to guide you through the season and beyond into you’re life after divorce.

Your brain keeps saying “you should have known better,” but your body is tired of carrying the pain from that story. Let’s get you out of the loop of replaying the past. In this episode I walk through why our minds cling to the past after divorce, how “shoulds” fuel shame and self-blame, and what it actually takes to let go in real life.
I start by exposing the sneaky logic of replaying old arguments and decisions, then shift into a practical, compassionate method for release. Most importantly, I’ll teach you how to practice a new stance toward your past self.

Control promises certainty, but then pulls that certainty right out from under you. In this episode I’m talking about the power of letting go of needing to control others and instead putting your focus on what you can control – you! You’ll learn how to stop outsourcing your emotions to an ex, stop trying to fix your kids’ feelings, and start responding with clear boundaries, reframes, and values you can rely on under pressure.
I break down why the urge to control spikes after a split and how it backfires, leaving you reactive and exhausted. Then I walk you through some practical implementation. The result of this shift is real power: fewer sleepless nights, more clarity about who people are, and energy freed up for healing, growth, and connection. Most importantly, you reclaim agency. You still choose your thoughts, your words, your boundaries, and your next step. That’s how you model resilience for your kids and build a life that feels like yours again.

The comparison spiral gets louder after divorce, and it can feel like your body is sounding an alarm you can’t switch off. I talk about why your brain compares in the first place, how that survival tool gets misapplied to emotional pain, and what to do when your nervous system treats a hard feeling as a life-or-death threat. Using clear examples from everyday life and social media, I’ll unpack the cultural scripts that tell you a “real family” looks one way and success only counts if it fits a narrow mold.
You’ll learn a simple, repeatable practice to reclaim your peace. You’ll hear how facts are neutral, stories add emotional overwhelm, and the body calms when you return to what is actually true. I also talk about the myth of perfection, how memory glamorizes the past, and why redefining family, happiness, and stability on your own terms helps you let go of shame.
If your feed is full of highlight reels and your mind keeps whispering you’re behind, you’ll leave with grounded tools to stop the spiral and a gentler way to relate to your thoughts. Think of it as a nervous system reboot for post-divorce healing: less panic, more clarity, and a kinder voice inside your head. Ready to step out of comparison and into your own definition of enough? Press play, subscribe for weekly support, and share this with a friend who needs some calm today. And if you want personal guidance, grab a free next step session from the link in the description.

What if the story running in your head after divorce isn’t the truth but a habit?

You’ll learn how to build believable rungs between where you are and where you want to be, especially around pretty common topics like co-parenting and how the divorce will affect your kids.

Have you ever noticed how the quiet moments hit hardest after divorce? When the kids go to their dad's house or when night falls and you're left alone with your thoughts, your mind can start spinning with memories, logistics, and the weight of your new reality.
The Slow Body Swivel practice introduced in this episode offers a gentle alternative to the distractions we typically reach for like social media doom scrolling, checking out, or having that extra glass of wine. This powerful grounding technique helps create capacity in your nervous system to handle challenges without feeling overwhelmed.
Creating nervous system capacity isn't about eliminating negative emotions or always being in perfect alignment. It's about developing the ability to handle life's challenges during divorce and beyond without feeling incapable. Through regular practice, you can build this capacity, allowing yourself to stay present with your emotions rather than getting lost in rumination or looking for that easy escape.

Feeling lonely after divorce can seem overwhelming and endless, but what if your loneliness isn't actually about being alone? In this deeply personal episode, I unpack the true nature of loneliness and why it feels so heavy when we're navigating life after divorce.
The truth might surprise you: loneliness isn't caused by the absence of people. You can be physically alone without feeling lonely, and conversely, feel profoundly lonely while surrounded by family or even while married. What creates that hollow feeling in your chest isn't your circumstances; it's your thoughts about those circumstances. The stories we tell ourselves about what it means to be divorced, single, or alone can transform a quiet evening into a painful experience of isolation.
When loneliness strikes, our instinct is often to resist it or find ways to escape it. We might rush into dating, rearrange custody schedules, or isolate ourselves further because we believe something must be wrong with us. But what if there's another way? I'll walk you through a step-by-step process for sitting with loneliness, understanding its physical sensations, and learning to move through it rather than around it.
The most powerful realization? The antidote to loneliness isn't being with others; it's connection, beginning with yourself. When you build a compassionate relationship with yourself first, you transform how you relate to everyone else in your life. Your emotional wellbeing no longer depends on others' availability or choices.
This episode offers practical strategies for creating self-connection, recognizing thought patterns that intensify loneliness, and finding kinder alternatives that feel true and supportive. You'll walk away with tools to make loneliness feel less overwhelming and more manageable as you continue becoming you again.

The emotional rollercoaster of divorce can leave us feeling like we're constantly in survival mode, reacting to every text, comment, or situation with immediate emotion rather than thoughtful response. This heightened state keeps us stuck in cycles that prevent healing and forward movement.
I’m talking about this common struggle by exploring the difference between being consumed by emotions and being healthily connected to them. When we're constantly reacting from a place of anger, fear, or hurt, our emotions are actually running the show while we watch helplessly from the passenger seat.
When our nervous system stays heightened, our prefrontal cortex (the brain's decision-making part) becomes less flexible. This creates the effect of choices that may not be aligned with what’s best and right for you, increased stress, and more negative emotions.
The solution is in creating space between stimulus and response. By validating our feelings without immediately acting on them, we gain the power to choose how we respond. I’ll offer practical guidance on shifting from emotional survival to emotional resilience through simple but powerful practice in this episode.
This practice transforms not only our divorce experience but ripples through every relationship in our lives. As we model emotional regulation, we become powerful architects of our future rather than reactive victims of our circumstances.
Ready to stop letting your emotions drive your decisions? This episode provides the roadmap to build emotional resilience that will serve you long after your divorce is finalized.

Standing in your kitchen at 8 PM, staring at unwashed dishes and feeling completely overwhelmed by the simplest decisions? You're experiencing what many women face after divorce which is decision paralysis. Even when you absolutely knew ending your marriage was right, the decision fatigue that comes after can leave you questioning your ability to choose anything from breakfast options to career moves.
One of my clients said, "I feel like I used all of my decision-making energy just getting out of my marriage," and this summed up what I hear from so many divorcing women as a common struggle. After spending months or years gathering courage for that monumental life decision, even small choices now carry what feels like impossible weight.
The challenge isn't just about making decisions. It's about making them as this new version of yourself you're still getting to know. For years, your decision-making muscles were trained to filter choices through questions like "What will keep the peace?" or "What might avoid conflict?" You learned to put everyone else's needs before your own. Now, you're suddenly expected to decide based on what YOU want except that muscle of knowing yourself, your wants, needs and desires has become weak because of years of ignoring it.
This episode walks you through four transformative steps to break free from post-divorce paralysis: grounding yourself, learning to process emotions, examining limiting beliefs that keep you stuck, and taking small aligned actions to rebuild self-trust. You'll discover that the courage and wisdom that got you through divorce haven't disappeared; you just need to reconnect with those qualities.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I guess this is just how my life is now," or "There's nothing I can do to make this better"? That's the trap of black and white thinking or all-or-nothing thinking. This is a mental habit that convinces us we have no control over our life, especially during divorce.
In this episode, I dive deep into how black-and-white thinking keeps us feeling powerless and stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. When we believe there are only two options, usually the extreme end of the spectrum, our brains literally stop searching for solutions. We become convinced that our situation is fixed, immovable, and beyond choice of any kind. But that's a lie we tell ourselves, and I'm here to help you see through it.
The truth is that very few things in life are purely good or purely bad, all or nothing. By learning to recognize this habitual way of thinking we can begin to challenge these limiting beliefs. The real magic happens when we step out of these extremes and into what I call "the gray"; not a place of indecision or uncertainty, but a place of possibility, nuance, and choice.
Drawing from my own experience of breaking free from all-or-nothing thinking about marriage and divorce, I share practical strategies to help you recognize these patterns, challenge your thought processes, and gradually reclaim your sense of agency. Even a small 2% shift toward more flexible thinking creates movement that can transform your entire perspective on life after divorce.
Ready to break free from black-and-white thinking and start living in the gray to discover the choices that have been there all along? Listen now to learn how to live in the gray, make decisions from a place of empowerment rather than fear, and create a more expansive story for your life moving forward after divorce.

Are you constantly making excuses for your partner's behavior? Walking on eggshells in your own home? Pretending to be asleep when they come to bed? Your intuition might be trying to tell you something important about your marriage.
Society conditions us to believe marriage should last forever, that we must honor our vows "for better or worse." But what happens when that conditioning keeps us trapped in relationships that harm our wellbeing or prevent us from creating genuine happiness? This powerful episode tackles the signs that might indicate it's time to consider divorce, and more importantly, gives you permission to honestly ask yourself what you truly want.
I'm not here to tell you whether you should get divorce. That decision belongs to you alone. However, I am here to help you recognize when your body, mind, and intuition are signaling that something needs to change. From researching divorce laws in your state to constantly walking on eggshells around your partner, these signals deserve your attention rather than dismissal.
Many women stay in unhappy marriages because the uncertainty of divorce feels overwhelming. Will I be able to support myself financially? Where will I live? How will this affect my children? These are valid concerns, but they're obstacles that can be overcome with proper planning and support. As women, we are remarkably resilient and resourceful. We are really great at problem solving. We figure things out all the time, often while juggling multiple responsibilities already.
You deserve to wake up feeling hopeful about your day and your future. You deserve relationships that add to your life rather than drain your energy. Most importantly, you deserve to give yourself permission to create the life you truly want, even if that means ending your current marriage. The healing begins once you face the truth of what you want and take those first steps toward a different future.
Whether you're considering divorce yourself or know someone who might need this message, remember: choosing yourself isn't selfish; it's necessary for your wellbeing and ultimately benefits everyone around you.

Feeling like the ground beneath you has shifted after divorce? You're not alone. That sense of instability, of losing your foundation, is one of the most challenging aspects of divorce recovery. But what if reconnecting with your body could help you find your footing again?
This episode of Becoming You Again explores what it truly means to feel grounded after divorce and introduces a powerful practice called "grounded sway" that can help you rebuild trust in yourself. Many women tell me they feel constantly off-balance during divorce, unsure how to recreate that sense of safety. The truth is, you have the capacity to create safety for yourself through reconnecting with your body's wisdom.
The guided practice I share walks you through a gentle swaying movement that helps you experience different sensations while actively narrating safety for yourself. As you sway and feel the solid ground beneath your feet, you learn to stay flexible rather than rigid when facing uncertainty - like willow bending in the wind rather than breaking. There's no right or wrong way to do this exercise, only your way, as you discover what feels right for your unique body.
So much of healing after divorce involves learning to trust ourselves again; our bodies, our intuition, and our ability to create the lives we want. This practice offers one gentle pathway toward rebuilding that trust, reminding us that everything we need to feel safe and balanced already exists within us. Sometimes we just need a reminder of how to access it.

Self-love shouldn't come with conditions, yet so many of us hold ourselves hostage to impossible standards. I’m tackling this concept of "transactional self-love" in this throwback episode. Transactional self-love are the unconscious bargains we make with ourselves, promising kindness and acceptance only after certain benchmarks are met.
We've all said it: "I'll love myself when I lose weight," "I'll be kind to myself once my divorce is finalized," or "I'll accept myself when I find someone new." These conditional statements reveal how deeply we've internalized the message that we must earn our own affection. I explore this phenomenon through multiple lenses; our biological negativity bias, childhood experiences of conditional love, and the societal conditioning that teaches women their value depends on external factors.
The relationship you have with yourself forms the foundation for every other relationship in your life. When you withhold compassion from yourself, you're likely applying the same transactional approach to others. Breaking free from this pattern starts with awareness – identifying your personal conditions for self-acceptance and consciously choosing more compassionate alternatives.
Through practical steps and thoughtful guidance, I demonstrate how to build an unshakable foundation of self-love that doesn't fluctuate based on achievements or circumstances. This isn't about achieving perfect self-love but creating a baseline of acceptance that supports you through life's inevitable challenges. You'll learn how to recognize your conditional thinking and practice new neural pathways of self-compassion through consistent, intentional thought work.

The first night alone in your own home can be extremely challenging after divorce. For some of us, it's a completely new experience – I was 39 years old before I ever spent a night completely alone in a house. But what starts as overwhelming can transform into something unexpectedly liberating.
This episode explores five essential strategies for navigating the transition to solo living after your marriage ends. We begin with the foundation of creating genuine safety – not just physical security, but emotional and mental safety too. You'll learn how to develop a personal "safety plan" for those moments when loneliness or anxiety feels overwhelming, with practical ways to calm your nervous system and reassure yourself.
Loneliness represents one of the biggest hurdles during this transition. Whether you're experiencing actual solitude for the first time or feeling emotionally isolated despite having been lonely within your marriage for years, these feelings can be intense. I share specific techniques my clients have used to meet their needs in these moments – from immersive books that provide company to creating community connections when you feel most alone.
The surprising revelation for many is discovering unexpected joys in living alone. Sleeping in the middle of the bed. Eating whatever you want (or skipping dinner entirely). Cranking your favorite music while cleaning. The small freedoms of solo living can become genuine pleasures once you open yourself to the possibility that being alone might actually be fun.
Beyond survival, this episode guides you toward thriving independently through practices like establishing nurturing routines and finding daily moments of awe that research shows reduce stress and increase wellbeing. These micro-practices take just seconds but create meaningful shifts in how you experience your new living situation. Enjoy this throwback episode and start living a life alone on your terms.

Divorce guilt can be overwhelming, especially when it's tangled with religious upbringing, family expectations, and concerns about your children. In this deeply personal episode, I open my heart about the guilt I carried after ending my 20-year marriage, particularly how my Mormon background shaped my beliefs that divorce wasn't a viable option and that I was jeopardizing eternal salvation by making this choice.
My journey through guilt included what I call the "parental report card" – this imaginary scorecard where I believed my parents were tallying my life choices and finding me increasingly disappointing. I began seeing myself as "the black sheep" of the family, assuming my parents viewed my authentic choices with sadness and disgust. Despite feeling more connected to myself than ever before, this guilt continued to weigh heavily on me.
The turning point came when I discovered a passage that helped me create a powerful reframe helping me create a much needed perspective shift helping me heal from the guilt stories I'd been carrying and embrace a new narrative about my choices and their meaning.
Whether your divorce guilt stems from religious teachings, family expectations, or concern for your children, or something else, healing is possible. You can learn to unwind from these stories, forgive yourself for the inevitable pain that comes with major life transitions, and recognize that choosing authenticity isn't selfish – it's revolutionary. You are worthy of setting down the divorce guilt in all its forms and embracing your role as a seeker of liberation for yourself and future generations.

Imagine finding a secret perk to divorce that transforms everything about how you see yourself, your life, and your future. That's exactly what this episode uncovers – the extraordinary gift that divorce offers women: the ability to have the best of both worlds.
Most divorced women struggle with guilt for focusing on themselves, feeling trapped between societal expectations of motherhood and their own unfulfilled desires for personal growth. Through years of coaching women through divorce recovery, I've discovered that this painful transition actually creates a unique opportunity to balance two critical roles – being fully present as a mother while also honoring yourself as an individual woman with dreams, desires, and needs.
This balance isn't just possible; it's necessary. When you become the best version of yourself by reconnecting with your intuition, setting healthy boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and learning self-love, you simultaneously become the best parent for your children. You model wholeness rather than self-abandonment. You create safety through self-trust rather than people-pleasing. You demonstrate what it means to live with integrity and authenticity.
Breaking free from the socialized idea that marriage and motherhood represent a woman's highest purpose isn't easy. Many women completely lose themselves in these roles, forgetting they exist as individuals outside of caring for others. Divorce disrupts this pattern, creating space to rediscover yourself while still being the mother you want to be – perhaps an even better one because you're no longer depleted, resentful, or disconnected from your own needs.
Ready to embrace this powerful perspective shift and start experiencing the best of both worlds? Listen now to discover the four key ways to become your best self after divorce, and join the community of women who are rewriting their divorce stories from ones of failure to stories of liberation, growth, and wholeness.

The darkness of divorce creates the space for our rebirth as we learn to reject society's harmful narratives and embrace our authentic transformation. Darkness gets a bad rep, especially during divorce, but what if it's actually the birthplace of transformation? Drawing inspiration from Lyz Lenz's book "This American Ex-Wife," in this episode of Becoming You Again, I’ll explore how darkness and light function during a woman's divorce journey.
Society bombards women with what I call "false light" – harmful narratives that make women the bad-guy when it comes to divorce. These deceptive guideposts, like artificial coastal lighting that confuses us, leading women away from their authentic self toward figurative death – living as shells of themselves in marriages where growth has stagnated.
True darkness is where you decide for yourself what your divorce means. It's where you reconnect with your inner wisdom, align your brain, body, and intuition, and discover the resilience that was always within you. Like twilight with its beautiful gradient of colors, your divorce darkness contains unexpected beauty that leads to the genuine light waiting on the other side: joy, peace, self-trust, and the power of living authentically.

Grief is an inevitable part of divorce, but the shame and judgment that often accompany it? Those are completely optional. In this episode, I explore why so many of us pile unnecessary suffering onto our natural grief during divorce—whether it's shame about past behaviors, feeling we weren't "enough," or guilt about hurting others, especially our children.
Drawing on the Buddhist story of the two arrows, I explain how when we layer shame and judgment onto grief, we actually block the very healing process we're trying to move through. The solution isn't to avoid grief, but to approach it with self-compassion instead of criticism.
I share a practical three-step self-compassion practice that you can use whenever that mean inner voice starts berating you about your divorce. This isn't about giving yourself a free pass—it's about creating the emotional safety needed to actually feel and process your grief without the additional burden of shame.
As someone who's walked this path, I know firsthand how religion, family expectations, and our own perfectionism can make divorce feel not just painful but shameful. But I also know the liberation that comes when we drop that second arrow and simply allow ourselves to grieve with kindness. Your healing doesn't require suffering—it requires feeling, with compassion, exactly as you are.

Divorce guilt is one of the heaviest burdens mothers carry, particularly when it comes to our children. We're bombarded with messages about "staying together for the kids," research on divorce's negative impacts, and cultural narratives that paint divorced families as inherently damaged. But what if we've been looking at this all wrong?
In this episode, I challenge the notion that divorce harms children by offering four powerful ways divorce can actually benefit your kids. One of the profound gifts that I’ll cover is your children get access to the best version of you - a woman who honors her needs, maintains healthy boundaries, and models self-respect rather than self-abandonment. When you reconnect to your authentic self after divorce, you demonstrate for your children what healthy adulthood actually looks like.
Ready to release the burden of divorce guilt and embrace the positive impact your choices can have on your children? Listen now, and discover how reframing your divorce story can free both you and your children to create healthier, more authentic lives.

Struggling to feel grounded after your divorce? The path forward begins with something surprisingly simple: being present.
When we're caught in the cycle of regret about the past or anxiety about the future, genuine healing remains out of reach. In this episode I’ll share a powerful yet straightforward technique that can transform how you navigate post-divorce emotions. The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise engages all five senses to anchor you firmly in the present moment—the only place where true healing occurs.
What makes this approach so valuable is its simplicity and accessibility. You can practice it anywhere: during a stressful meeting, while managing chaotic family moments, or when those painful divorce memories resurface unexpectedly. By doing this practice you're actively realigning your nervous system and creating space for healing.
This episode goes beyond just teaching a technique—it reframes how we understand emotional regulation after divorce. The goal isn't to achieve perfect calm at all times but to develop greater capacity to navigate life's challenges without being controlled by habitual fight-flight-freeze responses. When we can ground ourselves in the present, we gain the ability to make conscious choices about who we want to be and how we want to show up in our post-divorce lives.

What happens when the future you've always planned for suddenly disappears? After divorce, many women find themselves trapped in a pit of despair, believing their chance at happiness vanished along with their marriage. But what if this challenging transition actually offers an unexpected gift – the freedom to design a future that truly resonates with who you are?
In this episode I’ll explore how society's prescribed notions of family, happiness, and success have shaped our expectations. Those perfect retirement scenes in medication commercials? The idyllic nuclear family portrayed in media? These aren't universal truths – they're social constructs that have evolved (and continue to evolve) throughout human history. You'll discover how challenging these inherited beliefs creates space for authentic growth and self-discovery.
The episode offers practical guidance for creating a new vision that aligns with your values and current reality. Through targeted questions – about your guiding principles, bold dreams, and how you'll view this chapter in hindsight – you'll learn to craft a future outlook that serves and inspires you. Because if we're going to "make up" our futures anyway (as we all do), why not create visions that genuinely support who we are and who we're becoming?

When the emotional waves of divorce hit unexpectedly, leaving you wondering if you've somehow failed at healing, know this: you're experiencing grief in its most natural form. Grief during divorce isn't a linear journey with neat stages and timelines—it's an unpredictable rollercoaster that can send you soaring one day and plummeting the next.
The profound disconnect between what you thought your life would be and what it has become creates the perfect conditions for grief to emerge. Yet unlike the grief that follows death, divorce grief often hides in plain sight, unacknowledged by both ourselves and society. You might hear that you have no right to feel sad if you initiated the divorce, or that you should feel only relief if your marriage was difficult. These judgments only compound the pain.
What you're feeling is valid. Every time you feel like you've finally found solid ground, only to be blindsided by sadness while shopping at Target or driving to work, you're not moving backward in your healing—you're moving through it exactly as you need to. There's no "right way" to grieve the end of a marriage.

Have you ever noticed how society teaches women to shrink, stay small, and remain quiet? From childhood, we're conditioned to take up less space physically and emotionally, to soften our opinions, and to prioritize everyone else's comfort above our own. After divorce, this pattern often intensifies as uncertainty looms large.
But what if divorce actually offers something revolutionary? What if, instead of further contraction, divorce presents the perfect opportunity for expansion?
This episode dives deep into why I proudly declare myself "pro-divorce" – not because I think everyone should end their marriage, but because I've witnessed how divorce can catalyze profound personal growth for women who've spent years diminishing themselves. We explore our tendency to stay small, examining how the amygdala (our brain's fear center) works overtime to "protect" us from the perceived dangers of speaking up, taking space, and trusting ourselves.
Through personal stories and practical insights, I share my own journey of expansion after divorce, including a recent situation where I refused to shrink myself to make my current partner more comfortable. You'll discover the power that comes from recognizing when fear is protecting you from genuine danger versus when it's simply limiting your growth. Most importantly, you'll learn how to trust that you're already handling uncertainty every single day – you're just not giving yourself credit for it.
Ready to step outside the small box society has placed you in? Ready to expand into your fullest self? This episode offers both the permission and practical guidance to bloom unapologetically after divorce. Because you deserve to live without constantly apologizing for being who you are.

Communication patterns can make or break relationships, and understanding the destructive "Four Horsemen" identified by relationship expert John Gottman can help you build healthier connections after divorce. Being able to recognize these patterns in yourself gives you the power to change your communication style for all future relationships.
Criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling—these patterns create a cascade of disconnection that, once established, become increasingly difficult to break. In this episode I walk you through each destructive pattern and how to recognize when you're falling into these traps. Rather than approaching this knowledge with self-judgment, I invite you to view your communication habits through the lens of curiosity, opening the door to genuine transformation.
Whether you're co-parenting with your ex, building new friendships, navigating workplace dynamics, or considering future romantic relationships, these communication insights will serve you well. By supporting yourself first and creating space for intentional communication, you can break free from destructive patterns and build the authentic connections you deserve.

We've all been there—those moments during divorce when our minds spiral with thoughts that feel absolutely true: "I wasn't good enough," "I've ruined my children's lives," or "I'll never recover from this." But what if these certainties are simply stories your brain has constructed, not objective facts?
In this episode, I reveal how the thoughts dominating your divorce experience have been shaped by forces largely outside your control—biology, family conditioning, and societal expectations. Your brain, constantly seeking patterns and explanations, often manufactures meaning that aligns with these influences rather than reflecting reality.
When I faced my own divorce, society told me it would devastate my children and destroy my future. Instead of accepting this narrative, I consciously chose to define divorce differently—as growth, new beginnings, and ultimately a path to greater happiness. Years later, that decision has proven transformative not just for me, but for my entire family.
The power lies in recognizing that when we're stressed and emotionally overwhelmed, our primitive brain hijacks our reasoning abilities. Through a simple 3-5 minute writing practice I teach my clients, you can learn to distinguish between objective facts and subjective interpretations. This distinction creates space for choice—the choice to interpret your divorce and future differently.
This isn't about toxic positivity or ignoring genuine feelings. It's about recognizing that most thoughts causing your suffering aren't unassailable truths but interpretations you can question and replace. When you separate fact from story, you reclaim your power to chart your own course through divorce and beyond.
Ready to stop believing everything your brain tells you about your divorce? Try the practice outlined in this episode, or schedule a free 30-minute call with me to experience how liberating it feels to distinguish between what's happening and what it means.

Ever notice how fear seems to drive every decision during divorce? That gnawing feeling in your stomach that whispers you're ruining everything—your future, your children's lives, your finances—even when you know leaving is the right choice. This invisible force keeps you frozen, making decisions from a place of survival rather than authentic wisdom.
What if there was another way? What if you could acknowledge your fear without letting it control your choices?
When our nervous system remains in a constant state of high alert during divorce, we operate from our primitive brain, interpreting change as a threat to survival. This "functional freeze" makes us appear put-together on the outside while we're drowning inside, unable to access our deeper wisdom. The result? A life guided by fear rather than intention.
The secret lies in reconnecting with your intuition—that quiet voice within that knows exactly what you need, even when everyone else has an opinion. Courage isn't making fearless decisions; it's feeling terrified and moving forward anyway, trusting that inner compass to guide you home.
Self-trust develops through practicing self-compassion, getting curious about who you are at your core, and accepting all parts of yourself. When your brain, body, and intuition align, you physically feel the difference between decisions that are right for you and those that aren't. This knowing creates a foundation of peace that exists alongside fear rather than being consumed by it.
Ready to stop letting fear drive your life? Book your free 30-minute consultation today and learn how to reconnect with your intuition during divorce. Your deepest wisdom is waiting—you just need to remember how to listen. To schedule your complimentary consult with Karin click here.

The power to feel emotionally safe, even when life feels uncertain, might be the greatest gift you can give yourself after divorce. But our brains make this challenging in ways you might not realize.
Have you ever wondered why leaving an unhappy marriage feels so terrifying, even when you know it's the right choice? The answer lies in how your brain processes certainty versus uncertainty. Your amygdala—the primitive part of your brain responsible for survival—doesn't distinguish between physical threats and emotional ones. When divorce disrupts your predictable patterns, your brain interprets this uncertainty as danger, triggering fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses that can leave you feeling constantly anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck.
What's fascinating is how we can mistake familiarity for safety. Even in disconnected or toxic relationships, the predictability creates a false sense of security. Your brain says: "I know what to expect here, therefore I'm safe"—even when you're deeply unfulfilled.
The transformative truth? Uncertainty itself isn't dangerous. We live with it constantly! The key is learning to create emotional safety for yourself without requiring external certainty. In this episode you’ll learn the first steps to dismantle false safety mechanisms and build true emotional security.

Feeling powerless in your divorce? That's exactly when you need this simple yet profound somatic practice for reclaiming ownership of your body and presence.
During the most challenging times of divorce, we often feel like everything's spiraling beyond our control – legal proceedings, relationship dynamics, and major life transitions can leave us disconnected from our own sense of agency. But what if there was a practice so simple you could do it anywhere to remind yourself of what you DO control?
This episode teaches a powerful bodily ownership exercise that anchors you in the present moment. Through deliberate touch and verbal affirmation, you'll learn to create an immediate shift in your nervous system and reconnect with your physical presence. I guide you through each step – from shaking out tension to orienting yourself in your environment to methodically reclaiming ownership of your entire body.
As we move through the practice together, I share why present-moment awareness is the only genuine pathway to healing. Your healing doesn't happen when you're worrying about future what-ifs or replaying past mistakes – it happens right now, in this moment, when you choose to reconnect with yourself and remember your inherent wholeness.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by divorce proceedings, struggling with co-parenting challenges, or simply needing to ground yourself during emotional turbulence, this practice offers an immediate pathway back to yourself. Try it whenever you need that reminder: in this moment, you are safe, and your body is your own.

"When will my life feel normal again after divorce?" It's a question that haunts many of us during this profound transition. The discomfort of changed routines, financial shifts, and parenting adjustments feels deeply unsettling. But there's a fascinating biological reason behind this distress.
Your brain's primitive amygdala interprets these changes as potential threats to survival, triggering fight-flight-freeze responses that actually reduce your cognitive function. First, regulate; second, question. The powerful opportunity within divorce lies in intentionally designing your life rather than returning to old patterns.
I'll cover:
- Divorce creates feelings of abnormality that trigger our brain's survival response
- The amygdala interprets discomfort as danger.
- When the amygdala is activated, our IQ drops 10-15 points
- Realigning your nervous system through grounding techniques helps restore logical thinking
- Question what "normal" means to you
- Deciding intentionally what you want your life to look like gives you power
- Consider whether you want to return to your old definition of normal or create something new

Divorce throws your emotions into overdrive, with stress levels soaring as you navigate uncertainty and major life changes. But what if one powerful stress-reduction technique isn't about better coping mechanisms, but rather dismantling a fundamental belief most women carry?
The distinction between being "nice" and being "kind" holds transformative power for women going through divorce. I’m going to walk you through the societal conditioning that pressures women to be nice—putting everyone else's comfort before our own, staying silent to avoid rocking the boat, enduring unacceptable behavior to avoid being labeled difficult—actually increases our stress and disconnects us from our intuition when we need it most.
You’ll see how niceness keeps us small and stressed, while kindness—speaking our truth, setting boundaries, honoring our values—creates authentic connection and reduces anxiety.
You’ll learn:
- Divorce creates immense stress due to uncertainty, worry, and emotional overwhelm
- Women are conditioned in our patriarchal system to be nice over everything else
- Being nice means putting yourself last, forgetting yourself, and sometimes putting yourself in danger
- Nice behavior turns us into people-pleasers who don't advocate for our own needs
- Being kind means being honest, using your voice, and setting clear boundaries
- Kindness involves speaking up when things are uncomfortable or unacceptable
- Start with small steps to replace niceness with kindness in specific situations
- As you practice kindness over niceness, your stress levels will naturally decrease
- Building courage to be kind helps align your brain, body, and intuition
- This practice helps reconnect you to your wholeness and integrity after divorce

Most women going through divorce don't realize they've been living in codependent relationships, desperately seeking external validation rather than trusting their inherent worth. In this transformative episode, I introduce you to a powerful reframing of codependence as "emotional outsourcing" as coined by Beatriz Victoria Albina - the habit of chronically seeking our sense of value from everyone and everything outside ourselves.
This pattern didn't emerge from nowhere. From girlhood, we're conditioned to believe our purpose is making others comfortable, prioritizing everyone else's needs, and feeling guilty when we put ourselves first. The devastating message? You're not complete until you fulfill your "duties" as a woman. This harmful programming creates the belief that you're somehow broken or unworthy - especially when your marriage ends.
Here's the liberating truth: We can replace emotional outsourcing with a deep, unshakable knowledge of our inherent worth. But contrary to what you might think, the goal isn't complete independence. True healing comes through interdependence - knowing your worth from within while maintaining meaningful connections where you give from abundance rather than obligation.
Ready to stop believing you're broken? Your journey to wholeness begins with recognizing your worth isn't determined by anyone else.

Exhausted by trying to check "self-care" off your already overwhelming to-do list? You're not alone. In this episode of Becoming You Again, I’ll dive deep into the distinction between what most of us have been sold as ‘self-care’ and what actually nurtures our wholeness after divorce.
Join me as I break down why these surface-level approaches are merely "pretend self-care" – temporary distractions that never address your deeper needs for support, boundaries, and reconnection with yourself.
Real self-care isn't a noun (a product to buy) but a verb (actions that truly support you). It emerges from within rather than being prescribed from outside sources. Real self-care changes your relationship with yourself and your relationship with others on a fundamental level rather than leaving you feeling temporarily better but ultimately unfulfilled.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The key differences between pretend self-care (product-based) and real self-care (decision-based)
- How authentic self-care changes your relationships while pretend self-care leaves you feeling resentful
- Reconnecting with yourself by asking essential questions about your relationship with yourself
- Learning to trust yourself again by developing intentional, individual support systems

Anger is perhaps the most misunderstood emotion in a woman's divorce journey. While society readily accepts men's anger, women are often told to push it down, stay calm, or avoid this powerful emotion altogether. This harmful double standard creates an additional barrier to healing that we need to address head-on.
In this empowering episode, I break down exactly what anger is from a neurological perspective - a survival response originating in our amygdala, designed to protect us when we feel threatened. By understanding the distinction between anger-triggering thoughts, the physical sensations in your body, and your behavioral responses, you gain the clarity needed to process this emotion in healthy ways.
The heart of this episode offers seven practical, accessible techniques to process anger safely without damaging relationships or suppressing your emotions. From physical approaches like wall-pushing and "rage dancing" to more subtle practices like controlled breathing and self-holding that can be done anywhere, you'll discover methods that resonate with your unique needs. I share my personal favorites (including singing at the top of my lungs when no one's around!) and explain why finding your own go-to techniques is essential for long-term emotional resilience.
Most importantly, you'll learn that anger itself isn't the problem - it's a normal, natural human emotion that deserves space in your healing journey. The real issues arise when we react impulsively or push anger down, pretending it doesn't exist. By developing intentional ways to process this powerful emotion, you reclaim your right to feel everything without judgment, take back your power, and move closer to becoming yourself again.

Today, I’m introducing you to "Morning Pages," a transformative practice developed by Julia Cameron in "The Artist's Way." This simple yet profound exercise helps you tap into mental and emotional honesty. When navigating divorce, we often tell ourselves we shouldn't feel certain emotions or we pretend they don't exist. Morning Pages creates a private space to acknowledge everything without self-contempt. What emerges on these pages isn't "truth," just thoughts that need release.
What makes Morning Pages uniquely powerful for divorce recovery is that it functions as both a mindfulness practice (clearing mental clutter) and a somatic practice (calming your nervous system).
Letting go rarely happens in a single moment. It's a process requiring consistent practice, which is why incorporating Morning Pages into your daily routine may gradually release what you've been holding onto.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What Morning Pages is.
- How it’s a practice in both mind (mindfulness) and body (somatic regulation)
- How to practice Morning Pages
- Letting go is a process, not a one-time event
- How to have compassion with yourself as you get better at this practice

When was the last time you felt frustrated, annoyed or downright angry at something your ex did? If it was recently, or if you’ve ever thought, it would be so nice if they’d just do things the way I do them, then this episode is for you. In this episode, we'll explore the concept of 'manuals'—those pesky expectations we impose on others—and how releasing them can lead to dropping the excess suffering you’re feeling.
You’ll learn that ‘manuals’ are the unwritten expectations we create about how others should behave to make us feel good. By recognizing these manuals, we learn to let go of unnecessary emotional burdens, improve our relationships, and embrace the dualities of life, particularly during challenging times like divorce.
In this episode I’ll cover:
• Exploring the 50-50 principle in life
• Understanding the concept of manuals in relationships
• How expectations create emotional resistance
• Recognizing personal autonomy in interactions

This episode is all about mindset and thought work - specifically the impact intentionally choosing your thoughts will have on you and your emotional life right now and moving forward after divorce.
Did you know that the thoughts in your brain are not just truths being handed to you? Your brain gathers thoughts, ideas and beliefs in two main ways; through your life experiences, teachings, socialization, senses, etc and through your cognitive bias. Knowing this can open you up to the idea that thoughts aren't necessarily truth. This is great news. Once we know our thoughts are up for questioning and consideration, we give ourselves permission to decide on purpose what we want to think and believe that is in line with moving us toward what feels good and right for us.

When you're feeling so overwhelmed by your divorce - you can't see any hope in sight - just remember that spring is on its way. When things are really hard we can beat ourselves up thinking that we need to know the end game; that we need to see the next steps play out; we need to know how it's all going to work out. When things are hard it feels like winter - cold, hard, and dark and like it will last forever.
But what you can practice remembering is that you don't need to know how it's all going to work out or when or what the solution is. When things are hard all you need to remember is spring is on its way. Spring always comes. Just hold on a bit longer and things will get better.

Have you ever had a thought like this cross your mind..."Good mothers don't yell at their kids." "Good mothers don't have kids who get bad grades." "Good mothers aren't divorce." "Good mothers aren't away from their kids 50% of the time." "Good mothers are there to tuck in their kids at night." "Good mothers don't make mistakes."
If you answered yet, then this episode is a must listen. This episode peels back the layers of societal expectations and the self-judgment that burdens mothers, especially when parenting alone. I'm going to teach you how to embrace your imperfections and redefine what it means to be a good mother; accepting your authenticity, giving yourself compassion, and knowing that perfection is unattainable.
You'll be challenged with new thoughts and ideas about what it means to be a good mother - even a great one - and how to adopt those new thoughts into your own life to create deeper connection with yourself and with your kids and other relationships moving forward.

There is an enemy to grief is judgement; judgement of yourself, where you are at on your grief journey and what your unique grief journey looks like. If you've been feeling like you 'should be over him by now' or 'it's been long enough - just get over it', then you may have some unacknowledged judgement of yourself and what you're feeling. This judgement can keep you stuck and unable to process through the grief you need to allow so you can heal.
Listen in as I discuss why judgement is the enemy of grief and what you can do to drop the judgement, opening yourself up to allowing grief in all it's forms.

For someone going through a divorce, feeling triggered can seem like a daily occurrence. The trigger can be somewhat expected, like your anniversary or knowing you'll see your ex in court the next day. And often the trigger will be unexpected, like hearing that song playing in the background at the grocery store, or hearing the tone of someone's voice.
When you feel triggered you have the stimulus (trigger) and then your automatic nervous system response without any space in between to choose how you want to react in those moments.
In this episode you'll learn the three types of triggers. You'll learn how having better understanding of your triggers will help you create space between the stimulus and your response, leaving you feeling less powerless in your life and instead more powerful and in control.

We've all felt triggered by something during our divorce that alarms our nervous system and pushes us into a flight, fight or freeze mode. We may know what the trigger is or it may be deeper than something we are aware of, but in either case, we know that something feels off inside. We feel off-line, out of sync with ourself.
Learning to self regulate is when you are able to manage yourself, your behavior and your reactions to an emotional response/trigger that you might be having to help you sync back up to you.
I'll teach you three methods of self regulation to relax your central nervous system and bring it back online so you can continue living your life in the way that feel right and authentic to you.

We've all heard the importance of being grateful. We've all been taught to write in a gratitude journal everyday or keep a running list of things we're grateful for. But when we're really struggling with life altering challenges, like divorce, these types of gratitude practices can fall flat. They either feel dismissive of our pain and heartache or they feel like a shaming tactic under the guise of a 'silver lining'.
In this episode I talk about using gratitude as a way to grow mighty by allowing yourself the space you need to feel the pain of your challenge and using gratitude as a positive reappraisal. There are two gratitude practices that no one else is talking about and I share them with you along with examples.

Self love, self like, self acceptance, self esteem, self appreciation, self confidence. They are all basically meaning the same thing which is an an attitude toward yourself and how you think and feel about yourself.
However accepting self love (or any of the other terms listed above) is difficult when you've been socialized to believe that you are the supporting role in life to everyone around you. This is called 'human giver syndrome' and it's keeping women from living their true potential. When you live your life full of 'human giver syndrome' it can be difficult to learn to love yourself.
All you've been taught is to see yourself from an outside perspective - am I worthy in their eyes and if so then I can accept myself. Have I given of myself and served others enough today to find myself valuable and useful? If so, then I can like myself today.
Listen in as I teach you how you've been socialized into this 'human giver syndrome' and what it takes to cure yourself from this thinking in order to step into more self love and acceptance.

Divorce trauma is real. You often feel trapped by your past and what you once had, being triggered over and over again by photos, memories, your ex, your home, what you once had. You also feel paralyzed when you think about this future because how can you possibly move forward alone, a single mom, with less income and more uncertainty. People tell you to trust yourself. People tell you everything will be okay. People tell you to learn to love yourself. But when you go through trauma it's like there's a disconnect from yourself, and trusting yourself, knowing everything will be okay and loving yourself seem impossible to do.
Healing from trauma is where the magic happens. This is when you return to and reconnect with yourself. I'm going to teach you the four basic steps to healing from trauma so you can show up in your life with curiosity, openness, acceptance and love .

I often have women asking me how to trust again. They are worried that after getting out of a marriage where their partner cheated on them, was addicted to porn, gaslighted them, or abused them in some other way that they won’t ever be able to find a way to trust someone in the future.
In this episode I'll talk about what society teaches us trust is and how when we use that definition of it we give away control over our own emotional life and forget how to act on our own behalf.
You'll learn a new way of thinking about trust that puts you in control of creating safety for yourself in any relationship in your life.

With the new year, our thoughts turn to making changes in our lives. Normally we have big ideas of the changes we want to make, the person we want to become. Unfortunately the goals we set come with aggrandized perceptions of ourselves where we expect the changes to be made overnight. We want to be someone who exercises six days a week, yet we only exercised a few times in the last year, but we hold the expectation that we must meet this goal immediately, right away.
Listen in as I teach about minimum baselines as a more effective way of meeting any goal you want to set for yourself. You've tried setting goals the other way. Maybe this year try something new and much easier to keep - setting a minimum baseline. Small, consistent habits that will lead to big change down the road.

There's a pattern that is common in women who go through divorce when it comes to making decisions. Many women have learned to defer making decisions to someone outside of them believing that they know better or they have more authority or knowledge. This pattern keeps them small. They believe that their opinion isn't worthwhile or valid.
The problem is when a divorce happens, this cycle of confusion around making decisions continues into life as a divorced woman. It becomes commonplace to agonize over making decisions because there is an underlying believe that they are not fully in charge of their own lives or will choose 'wrong' making life even more challenging.
In this podcast I'm breaking down why making decisions is so challenging for women after divorce and why so many of us continue to choose to stay confused about what to do, instead of deciding. I'll teach you the two main components necessary to being able to make confident decisions as a divorced woman and how to overcome that fear that is holding you back.

Welcome to Friday Flip on the Becoming You Again podcast. Every Friday I take your divorce problems, conundrums and questions and do a quick flip around to empower you to show up as the best you after divorce.
Do you feel like your ex left the marriage and then continues to reject you by making a great life for him, his new girlfriend and your kids? Are you constantly feeling like you were never enough and will never be enough? Do you just wish that you were lovable enough that he would have fought harder to stay married?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then this episode is for you. I'm answering Ariana's question about dealing with her constant feeling of rejection.

Forgiveness is something that can have a lot of emotional attachment to it. Some people believe that they have to forgive or should forgive because of religious or cultural backgrounds, but struggle to find forgiveness from that kind of guilty pressure.
Others believe that if you forgive someone it means that you're condoning or redeeming the hurt or abuse that was done to you. No forgiveness is necessary when the person on the other end isn't deserving of it.
In this episode I'm talking about forgiveness from all angles. I'll show you how forgiveness is 100% up to you and is a way for you to step into the authority over your own life by choosing one way or the other. I'll also teach you, if you choose to forgive, the four steps to follow to find forgiveness for yourself after divorce.

You've been there. It's 2 AM and you've woken up in a panic worrying about the many unknowns of the divorce that are weighing heavy on your mind. You're desperately tired. This is fourth night in a row where you've done this and each night it got harder and harder to fall back asleep. You sick and tired of being, well, tired and groggy the next day.

After a breakup most of us are afraid that we'll never be able to trust a future partner again. But what about the even more important question of how do we learn to trust ourselves again?
Listen in as I answer Sandi's question about where to start when it comes to learning to trust yourself again, especially when you've been in a marriage where you were undermined every step of the way.

When we are the ones who were left behind it feels very painful. Usually this is because we tell ourselves that it was our fault in some way. We weren't good enough or pretty enough. We didn't have sex often enough. We just couldn't make them happy. We adopt the idea that we've been thrown away like a piece of trash especially if the marriage was a long one. Being the one left behind can feel very confusing, scary and hurtful.
In this episode I'm going to address why we turn to blaming ourselves for their action of leaving and how we can begin to see their action of leaving in a different way. I'm also going to teach you a few things you can begin to adopt right now that will help you feel much better about your life now and will help you move on from continuing to retell the painful story about how you were the one who was left behind.

Welcome to Friday Flip on the Becoming You Again podcast. Every Friday I take your divorce problems, conundrums and questions and do a quick flip around to empower you to show up as the best you after divorce.
Deciding that you're ready to make changes in your life and start listening to your own inner knowing is a cool place to find yourself. But when we don't get the support and excitement from those around us we can often hold ourselves back from moving toward what we really want in life. I'm helping Tania as she struggles with this in today's Friday Flip.

Codependency is an attachment style where you need the other person in the relationship to give you approval in all the positive ways. You need other people to validate you as a person. You need their words to remind you that you have worth. To remind you that you are lovable and worthy and valuable.
When you are codependent you use other people’s emotions to gauge how you are allowed to emotionally show up. Sometimes this looks like being a people pleaser. You often don’t trust your own opinions. You defer decisions. You don’t value your words or your thoughts.
If you don't learn to let go of your codependent habits, you will end up recreating this attachment style in all of your other relationships moving forward. So that ends today. I'm going to teach you three steps that you can use to help you let go of your codependent habits and instead create healthy, strong relationships moving forward in your life.
In this episode you will learn:
- What codependency looks like.
- How learning to validate yourself will be a game-changer for you in learning to fully love and accept yourself and being able to fully love and accept those in the relationship as well.
- The key to reconnecting with you emotionally that has been missing keeping you stuck in a codependent habit, and what you can do to emotionally show up for yourself.
- How to take a proactive role in implementing these changes today so you can finally replace the codependent habit with a new healthy habit instead.

Welcome to Friday Flip on the Becoming You Again podcast. Every Friday I take your divorce problems, conundrums and questions and do a quick flip around to empower you to show up as the best you after divorce.
For many of us, being alone when the kids are with our ex is our least favorite thing. It's been so long since we've been alone that we don't know how to do it. We get bored. We don't enjoy our own company. We don't even know what being single means after years of being in a marriage.
Listen in as I help anonymous figure out how to overcome being alone and figure out exactly what being single means to her.

Have you ever noticed what you say to yourself when you make a mistake, or when you child gets mad at you, or when your ex texts you something nasty? Do you notice that you're kind and loving and compassionate with yourself? My guess is, you're like most of us who do the exact opposite of that, and instead become our own worst enemy, flinging self criticism and judgement around until we feel horrible and believe that we're a failure in every way.
In today's episode I'm going to teach you the art of self compassion by breaking it down into the self compassion triad. By learning to be self compassionate, you'll be reprogramming your brain away from the self criticism default, to a new kinder version of you.
In today's episode you'll learn:
- What self compassion is.
- How to evaluate your level of self compassion and a 24-hour challenge to bring that awareness into your consciousness.
- The self compassion triad, and how you can begin to implement each part of the triad into your own life.

Bitterness toward your ex may feel justified for a little while. The problem is, when you carry the bitterness around it makes you feel bad. Feeling bitterness toward your ex isn't making him want to apologize, change or be different in some way. All it's doing is making you feel terrible.
So what can you do to drop the bitterness toward your ex? Listen in as I help Becky understand why she hasn't been able to let go of the bitterness yet and what she can change to drop the bitterness she's carrying around.

Conscious thinking is when you become aware of the thoughts that your brain is offering you on autopilot and you intentionally decide whether or not you want to continue to choose to think that way or decide to think something different.

In this episode I'll be teaching you what conscious thinking is, why it's important for you to becoming a conscious thinker and how doing so will open you up to taking full control over your ultimate freedom, your inner self.

Being sick as a divorced single mom can feel stressful and overwhelming. We judge ourselves for being sick, for not being the mom we usually are, for making the kids be less structured, for needing to take a break, for not having a partner and more.
This needs to stop and I'm helping Carrie see why in today's short episode. Listen in as I help her change the narrative around being sick.

Transactional self love is when you withhold love for yourself until you meet certain requirements to be "worthy" of kindness, compassion and love for yourself. You're more likely doing this and don't even realize it.
Transactional self love can sound like, I'll think you're pretty once your hair is dyed and you look more like that person on Instagram, or I'll think you're beautiful once you can fit into a certain size, or I'll think you're accomplished and have a purpose once you graduate from school and get that amazing job. And so you withhold liking yourself, being nice to yourself, loving yourself until those certain criteria are met.
In this episode I'll be talking about transactional self love, the three reasons why we've adopted this kind of self love, why it's not only affecting our relationship with ourselves but all of the relationships in our lives and what we can do to let go of the transactional self love and instead adopt unconditional self love.
What you'll learn in today's episode:
- The best show you need to be watching that is an example of unconditional self love.
- What transactional self love looks like in your life.
- Why transactional self love is so detrimental to your relationships, including the relationship with yourself.
- The three reasons you've adopted transactional self love.
- How to start to adopt unconditional self love and let go of the transactional self love you've been using.

How often do you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world (yours and your kids) on your shoulders? How many times have you bit your tongue around your kids so you don't 'bad-mouth' their dad to them - only to find out that he's being trash talking you every chance he gets?

Often we tell stories from our past in a way where we continue to be the victim and feel victimized. When we do this we feel powerless to make changes in our life now and moving forward. One of the most effective ways to stop feeling like a victim of your past and of your life is to rewrite the stories of your past, and specifically your divorce story.
This exercise isn't so that you can gaslight yourself into believing that things in your past didn't happen that actually did. Instead it's to help you refocus on your past in a way that serves you and makes you the hero of your story, instead of the victim. You get to use your past any way you like. So I want you to make it good for YOU. I'll teach you how in today's episode.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- How rewriting your past stories will help you feel more confident now and moving forward into the future life you want.
- What the stories of our past actually are.
- Why our memories aren't as reliable as we think.
- How to choose a useful divorce story headline.
- How to write out the story of your past, separate out the facts, and then rewrite the story so you're the hero.
- Why this work will be the most powerful thing you can do for you in creating the future that you want.

The divorce process is a scary, confusing journey. When we are faced with divorce we often don't know what to do, where to find help, what kind of help we'll need, who to trust, etc. Our mind can spin in confusion and indecision about the divorce which ends up shutting us down and keeping us stuck.

Welcome to Friday Flip on the Becoming You Again podcast. Every Friday I take your divorce problems, conundrums and questions and do a quick flip around to empower you to show up as the best you after divorce.
When someone has done something wrong or treated us badly, we want an apology. Society has taught us that an apology is how we show remorse and ask forgiveness all wrapped up in the words, I'm sorry. So it makes sense that we'd want that from the person who is to blame for our hurt.
In today's short episode, I'm helping Noemi understand where her power lies when it comes to feeling like she needs an apology. We can't make someone apologize for something but we can do something for ourselves that is much more powerful and supportive.

Transformations only happen when there is a challenge of some kind involved. As Pema Chodron teaches, there's a balance to life - a yin and yang . Life will include pain, and that we actually agree to that pain by just living. But often we think we don't want the pain and challenge to be there. We want it to go away. We just want to be happy. But when we really take a look at it, that's not completely true. We want there to be pain so that we can experience the contrast of the other side of pain. It’s the contrast that motivates us to evolve, to grow, and to transform. It's also the contrast that helps us define and understand what's on the other side of that negative emotion.
Listen in as I explain a concept called the 50/50 of life and how we want to be open and accepting of both sides, the good positive 50 and the hard negative 50.
In this episode you'll learn:
- What is the 50/50 of life.
- Understanding that we all agree to pain and why it's so important to open up to the challenging parts of life.
- Why happiness all the time isn't the goal of being human.
- What's truly possible when you open yourself up to allowing and processing the negative, hard emotions that we feel.

You're tired of the pain and misery of divorce. It's hard, it's overwhelming and just for once you wish that it was your ex that felt any pain and heartache, instead of you. This thinking can seem important and useful, like it's going to move you through the pain of divorce quicker, but what's really happening is resistance of what is. I can teach you how to lean into what's going on, teach you to process the negative heavy emotions so they don't hurt nearly as bad and you actually create forward movement instead of feeling completely stuck where you're at. The first step is scheduling a time to talk to me and we'll come up with your individual plan. Click here to schedule your free discovery session with me.

Pain is inevitable as we live this human life. There is no getting out of or getting around feeling pain, especially when it comes to divorce and the end of that relationship.

Part of what makes us inherently human is the desire to progress, to learn, to evolve, to shed, to grow and one of the most basic ways that we have learned to do that is to set goals for ourselves and then try and figure out how to reach them.

What I teach you in today's podcast is most likely not something you've heard before when it comes to setting and reaching goals.

I'm answering Natalie's question today. She wants some guidance on how to deal with knowing her ex is a terrible coparent and the fact that he doesn't really try with the kids.
This can be a tough place to be as a mom, because divorce is hard enough. We want nothing more than for our coparenting relationship to be a good one and for our ex's to show up as a great dad. Unfortunately that isn't always the case. I'm helping Natalie navigate the sadness that shows up with all of it.
