The Divorce Revolution

373. How Solo Trips Help You Heal After Divorce


Listen Later

What if the time you spend alone could be the thing that changes everything?

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I share why every divorced mom needs a solo trip—not just as a luxury, but as a radical act of self-healing and personal power. I open up about my own post-divorce journey from emotional dependence and overdoing to discovering the peace, strength, and confidence that came from intentionally choosing to be alone.

What I Discuss:

  • Why I stayed at my ex-husband's beach house for my solo trip

  • My post-divorce struggle with being alone

  • How emotional dependence and numbing showed up in my life

  • Learning to love being alone and setting new dating standards

  • The magic of solo vacations: freedom, presence, and total reset

  • Why moms say they "can't leave the kids" (and what's really behind that)

  • Tips for planning a stress-free solo getaway

  • What to do when you're there: rest, reflect, talk to strangers, unplug

Key Takeaways:

"Being alone wasn't the hard part—facing myself was."

"Solo travel wasn't selfish. It was the most healing thing I've ever done."

"You don't need permission to rest. You just need to choose yourself."
