We did not have kids to find ourselves in a situation where we are sharing time with them with someone we no longer want to live with or who has chosen to not live with us. It's hard and sad and all the things. I see you and I get it. I hated walking past the empty bedrooms on the nights that they were with their dad. AND I also know how important their relationship with him was.

Let's talk about it.

And for those of you who want more support around, I have opened 3 one-on-one coaching spots for January. And if you are looking for more group support as well as friendship and community, then the Rising Sisterhood membership is perfect for you. All the details are below.

My friend, you do not have to do this alone if you don't want to.

January sees an increase of approximately 30% in calls to divorce lawyers. Is it because people are making new year's resolutions to get divorced, or did they wait until after the holidays before making the move. Both are most likely true. 

And while January is a month for resolutions, goals and intention setting - I would like to invite you to focus on something different this month - YOU. 

What if instead of forced productivity and goal setting we attune with nature and allow ourselves to rest and sit in stillness. It is during this time we can become clear on what our goals are and what kind of life we want to call in and work towards. Just like the earth is currently sleeping and resting for spring growth, so can we. 

And if you are already in the throws of divorce and needing to make all kinds of big decisions etc right now, then make sure to get the guidance, support and community you want and crave here in The Separation Club. I have opened up my calendar to three new one on one clients this month and the Rising Sisterhood group support membership is currently open for new members. We would love for you to join our weekly live calls. More information below.

There’s something about this time of year.
The lights, the gatherings, the way the air itself feels full of both memory and expectation.
For many, it’s a season of connection and dinners, rituals and familiar traditions.
But for many others, maybe for you this year, it’s also a time that triggers memories and sadness.

Maybe you feel the absence of someone who used to be there.
Maybe the family table looks different now.
Maybe you’re navigating co-parenting, a smaller family, a quiet house, or too many invitations when you crave stillness.

Wherever you find yourself this season, I want to remind you; you’re not alone in those feelings.
This episode is for the hearts that hold both gratitude and grief and for the women who are learning that peace isn’t found in perfection, it’s found in presence and authenticity.

When we’ve been hurt, our instinct is to retreat, to heal in private and protect our hearts. But true healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we are witnessed gently, without judgment and reminded that we are not alone.

In this episode, I explore the deep human need to belong and the medicine that comes when we allow ourselves to be seen. You’ll learn why connection is essential for healing, how shame dissolves in the presence of compassion, and what it truly means to be “held” by another soul.

Also, we discuss the difference between fitting in and belonging and how circles of women, sisterhood and a shared truth heals us.

If you’ve been craving connection in your healing, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and that belonging is part of your becoming.

🌙 Join us inside The Rising Sisterhood Circle (membership), where we gather weekly for live healing calls, conversation, and support. Next week’s call is all about Belonging and being witnessed in your healing. During this call we will share our truth and also tools for healing and creating belonging in our lives.

Today's episode is about stories. Stories of heartbreak, betrayal, grief and generally the human experience.

We all have them. Stories about what happened to us, about who we are now, about what we’ve lost. And those stories can feel heavy, like they define us. But here’s the beautiful truth: stories can change. We just have to learn to rewrite them and be willing to. We don’t erase what happened… but we shift the perspective. And that shift can change everything.

Today we chat about how these stories impact us and how we can rewrite them. And for a deeper dive into this work and more about where our stories come from check out the series I did on this starting with Episode 83 right here on A Blessing in Divorce.

Also make sure to sign up for the free healing circle happening on Oct. 7th. Link is below.

If you’ve ever had the experience of sitting with a friend, or several, and realizing that being witnessed, being heard, already made you feel lighter… then this episode is for you. 

In today’s world, so many of us are walking through heartbreak, through transitions, through loss, completely alone. We forget that our mothers, our grandmothers, our ancestors, never carried their pain in isolation. They gathered. Around fires, at temples, in kitchens, in fields, under the moon - anywhere and everywhere. So today, I want to take you on a little journey into that lineage and remembering. Because when we remember where we come from, we can also remember how we’re meant to heal.

 From the moment we are born our experiences, upbringing and rites of passage create imprints on our brain that tell us who we are and what our roles are etc. Or at least what we believe they are. But what if these imprints don't feel good anymore? Maybe they never did. How do you change the negative tracks now that you are changing your life?

So excited to share this episode with you. And make sure to download and check out the app and the accompanying meditation!

Have you ever woken up, kids grown, career humming along, maybe the papers of a divorce finally filed—looked around and thought: Is this it?

There’s a hush that settles in mid-life. For some of us it’s sudden like the slam of a door after the last child leaves. For others it creeps in as roles we once wore like a second skin begin to loosen.

And with that hush comes an ache we don’t always have language for.

We’re told the cure is to find our ‘other half,’ the one-in-eight-billion soulmate who will be lover, best friend, therapist, cheer squad, co-parent, healer, and cosmic twin flame all in one.

But somewhere deep we know that story doesn’t fit. Maybe it never did.

Let’s name the roots.

Many of us were raised on princess movies where the happy ending arrives when the prince does. Religion, media, and even well-meaning relatives reinforced the script: find a good man and you’ll be safe, fulfilled, complete.

So we hustled for that plotline, then life got real. Bills. Babies. Men who loved us but could not read our souls. Or men who left the minute our complexity felt too heavy.

And if divorce came? The world told us we simply chose the ‘wrong’ prince. Swipe again and maybe the algorithm will do better.

What no one says is that it isn’t him we’re missing. It’s the village we were meant to have, the circle we evolved to rely on. We were never designed to pour our entire emotional ocean into one single cup.

So now what do we do? Join me in this episode as we discover new and beautiful options that would also work well with a potential new relationship.

Do you find yourself waiting for an apology, a compliment, or even a sign that your healing is being witnessed?
In this raw and tender episode, we explore the often invisible — yet incredibly powerful — force of validation and how it can quietly keep us stuck in pain.

From the early childhood roots of needing to be seen and soothed, to the ego’s endless loop of craving approval (especially after heartbreak), Elisabeth opens the door to a deeper conversation around truth, worthiness, and radical self-honesty.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, dismissed, or like your pain didn’t “count” unless someone else acknowledged it, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

Why we crave external validation (and how it’s not your fault)

How the ego uses validation to protect us — but also sabotage us

The subtle ways validation-seeking keeps us stuck in our healing journey

What it means to self-validate and reclaim your inner authority

Practices to start validating yourself every single day

In this rather different episode, I get real about a sensitive but important topic: the tendency for women to generalize and hate men after divorce — and why that mindset, while understandable, doesn’t actually serve your healing, or theirs.

I talk about:

Why anger and grief after betrayal are valid — but hate is not the path to freedom

How generalizing “all men” keeps us stuck in pain, bitterness, and disconnection

What it’s costing you emotionally, spiritually, and energetically to carry hate

A deeper look into the masculine wound and why many men are emotionally unavailable (without excusing the harm they cause)

How you can heal with integrity, reclaim your power, and move forward without carrying hate in your heart

You’ll leave this episode feeling seen, softened, and empowered to choose healing that truly sets you free.
