A Blessing in Divorce

In this episode, shared with you as I arrive in Italy to prepare for our women’s retreat, I’m reflecting on fear, change and the courage it takes to do something we have never done before. 

Some of the women joining me have never travelled alone - and yet they said yes. We’ll talk about why fear doesn’t always mean we’re making the wrong choice, how self-trust is built through action, and why the changes we never wanted can sometimes create space for a life we couldn’t previously imagine.

I also share why I wouldn’t be leading this retreat - or doing any of this work - if it weren’t for my divorce, and invite you to consider what might still be possible in your own next chapter.

In this episode:

Join me in Costa Rica:
Our next women’s retreat takes place February 13–20, 2027, in beautiful Uvita, Costa Rica. Come put down what you’ve been carrying, reconnect with yourself and experience a restorative week of nature, movement, meaningful workshops and sisterhood.

So many of us tell ourselves we'll get support once we feel "ready" - once things calm down, once we've figured it out on our own. In this episode, I'm pushing back on that idea. Readiness isn't something you wait for, it's something that gets built, usually with someone walking beside you. I'm sharing what "not ready" actually looks like (it's rarely what you'd expect), what changes when you stop waiting, and two simple action steps you can take this week - whether or not you ever work with me one-on-one.

Divorce can leave you questioning your judgment, your choices and even your ability to trust yourself again. But self-trust isn’t about knowing exactly what to do or guaranteeing that you’ll never make another mistake.

In this episode, Elisabeth explores how self-trust is slowly worn away, why blaming the woman you once were keeps you stuck, and how small promises can help you rebuild the relationship you have with yourself.

You’ll learn the difference between confidence and self-trust, how to receive advice without surrendering your authority, and why making a mistake doesn’t mean you cannot trust yourself.

This episode completes a three-part journey: imagining life on the other side of divorce, finding clarity when emotions are high, and trusting yourself to build what comes next.

Self-trust is not the promise that life will always go according to plan. It is the promise that whatever happens, you will not abandon yourself.

Divorce asks women to make some of the most important decisions of their lives while experiencing some of the strongest emotions they have ever felt. 

You may be trying to make choices about your children, home, finances and future while also grieving, feeling betrayed or dealing with an ex who is financially controlling, creating legal conflict or seemingly moving happily on with someone new.

Of course your emotions are heightened.

In this episode, Elisabeth explores how to honour everything you are feeling while creating enough space to access the clarity and wisdom that are still inside you. Emotional regulation isn’t about calming down, becoming less emotional or quietly accepting unacceptable behaviour. It’s about becoming steady enough to choose your response instead of allowing fear, anger or urgency to choose it for you.

In this episode:

You don’t need to eliminate your emotions before you can trust yourself. Your emotions and your wisdom can exist together. The practice is learning how to honour both while making choices that protect the life you are building.

What if divorce isn't the end of your story?

So many women spend months, or even years, focused on surviving divorce. The paperwork, the decisions, the heartbreak, the loneliness... it can feel like your entire life has become about simply making it through another day.

But what if surviving was never the destination?

In this episode, I invite you to gently consider a different question. Not, "How do I get through this?" but, "Who do I want to become because of this?"

Together we'll explore:

Why survival mode can quietly become a way of life.

The difference between rebuilding your life and trying to recreate the one you lost.

How life's hardest seasons often become the beginning of our greatest growth.

Why freedom is usually much quieter, and more beautiful, than we imagine.

How one simple question can begin to shift your focus from what happened to you toward the life you still get to create.

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wondering whether you'll ever truly feel like yourself again, I hope this conversation reminds you that there is still so much life waiting for you.

Because divorce may have brought you to this chapter...

But it doesn't have to remain the main character of your story.

There is a beautiful life waiting on the other side of divorce.

NOTE: Call is May 4th @ 6pm EST (I think I said 7pm in the episode)

This episode is a little more direct than usual… because this part of the divorce process requires it.

We’re talking about one of the most common concerns I hear:
Fear around legal fees

And while that’s completely valid… there’s a deeper truth most women aren’t told.

Divorce is expensive - but it’s not just about the lawyer. It’s about how we move through the process.

In this episode, I share:

This isn’t about dismissing your experience.
It’s about helping you move through this in a way that supports you—emotionally and financially.

If you are in the early or middle stages of your legal journey and feeling overwhelmed, this conversation will help you take a step back, get clear, and move forward differently.

I’m hosting a special call inside the Rising Sisterhood membership, May 4th @ 6pm EST, where we’ll go deeper into this—how to navigate the legal side of divorce in a more empowered, strategic way.

If you’re already a member, you’ll have access to this call.

If not, you can join us for $33 and receive:

Self-love is talked about everywhere… but rarely in a way that actually helps.

In this episode, we break down what self-love really looks like in real life—especially during and after a relationship breakdown.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’re doing it “right”… this might change the way you see yourself completely.

And if you’re craving a deeper connection with yourself, you can explore upcoming retreats below.

This episode is for the woman who feels unsure of herself… and thinks confidence is something she needs to “find” before she can move forward.

We talk about what confidence actually is, how it’s built, and why your intuition may not be gone at all… just unheard.

If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, feeling stuck, or waiting to feel ready… this episode will help you start trusting yourself again in a real, grounded way.

If you’re craving space to reconnect with yourself more deeply, you can explore upcoming retreats below.

There’s a part of healing no one really prepares you for. It's what comes after things are sorted, after the tears and the chaos… the quiet.

In this episode, I’m sharing a concept that reframes loneliness in a powerful way - the idea that every way of living comes with a cost… including peace.

If you’ve been wondering, “Did I make the wrong decision?”, or wondering if you will be alone for the rest of your life - this will help you understand what’s really happening.

Inside this episode I talk about:

If this is where you are right now… you’re not alone in it.

And you don’t have to navigate it alone either.

There’s a quiet question many women ask after separation or divorce… but almost feel ashamed to say out loud:

“Is it okay that I’m okay?”

In this episode, we’re talking about the pressure to feel a certain way after a relationship ends - especially the idea that you should be more angry, more hurt, or more visibly broken.

Because what if your newfound peace isn’t avoidance… but truth?

We explore:

Why “everything and nothing is normal” during divorce

The conditioning around how women are supposed to feel after a breakup

Why not feeling anger doesn’t mean you’re weak

How grief often happens long before the relationship ends

The difference between numbness and completion

And how to start trusting your own emotional experience again

This is a permission slip to stop performing pain… and start honouring what’s actually true for you.
