Dealing with Divorce in 2026

In Episode 18 of Dealing with Divorce, we unpack the essential—but often uncomfortable—practice of setting boundaries. Whether it’s with your ex, your kids, family, friends, or even yourself, boundaries are not about building walls—they’re about creating clarity and protecting your emotional space as you heal.

This episode will help you recognize where boundaries are needed, how to set them without guilt, and why enforcing them is one of the highest forms of self-respect.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔ How to set healthy boundaries with your ex, especially in co-parenting
✔ Why boundaries aren’t selfish—they’re necessary for healing
✔ How to stop emotionally overextending to people who drain you
✔ Simple scripts and mindset shifts to help you protect your peace

Your healing matters. Let’s talk about how to protect it with purpose.

In Episode 17 of Dealing with Divorce, we dig into the emotional grip of control—how we often try to manage people, outcomes, and situations after divorce in an effort to protect ourselves from more pain.

The problem? That need to control only keeps us stuck, bitter, and exhausted.

This episode is your invitation to loosen your grip and redirect your energy toward what truly matters: your healing, your growth, and your peace.

Listen in to learn:
✔ Why control is a natural but misleading coping mechanism
✔ How to recognize when you’re trying to manage the unmanageable
✔ What healthy surrender looks like—and what it’s not
✔ How to reclaim your power by focusing on what you can actually influence

Freedom doesn’t come from controlling others—it comes from trusting yourself. Let’s explore how to get there.

In Episode 16 of Dealing with Divorce, we explore one of the most universal but rarely talked about parts of healing—loneliness. Whether you're physically alone or surrounded by people, that ache for connection can feel overwhelming. But what if this season of solitude is an invitation—not a punishment?

This episode will help you understand that loneliness isn’t something to run from—it’s something to listen to. You’ll learn how to use this quiet space to rebuild a deeper connection with the one person who’s always with you: yourself.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔ Why loneliness is normal—and not a sign of failure
✔ The difference between being alone and being disconnected
✔ How to create soul-nourishing rituals that foster healing
✔ What it looks like to feel peace, even in solitude

This isn’t just about getting through the silence—it’s about transforming it into strength.

In Episode 15 of Dealing with Divorce, we take an honest look at one of the most common struggles in post-divorce life: comparison. Whether it’s watching your ex move on, seeing others in seemingly perfect relationships, or feeling like you’re not “healing fast enough,” comparison can quietly undermine your confidence and peace.

This episode will help you step out of that trap and back into your own journey—where the only competition is who you’re becoming.

In this episode, we’ll explore:
✔ Why comparing your healing to others keeps you stuck
✔ How to recognize the half-truths behind what you see online
✔ Simple mindset shifts to help you measure your own growth
✔ Why your quiet progress is powerful—even if no one else sees it

Your journey is not a race—it’s a transformation. And it’s time to honor it fully.

After divorce, joy can feel out of reach—like something reserved for a later season, after the pain has passed. But what if joy isn’t the reward for healing... what if it’s part of the healing?

In Episode 14 of Dealing with Divorce, we explore the powerful role joy plays in your recovery. This episode is your permission slip to laugh again, to play again, and to allow small moments of lightness to return—even while you’re still navigating the hard stuff.

Divorce can feel like life has flipped upside down—roles change, emotions run high, and the future feels uncertain. In Episode 13 of Dealing with Divorce, we explore how building simple, intentional routines can help you regain stability, rebuild confidence, and create a sense of peace when everything else feels unpredictable.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔ Why routines are more powerful than you think during healing

✔ Simple ideas to help you reclaim time, energy, and purpose
✔ How consistency creates a foundation for your new life

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. One steady step, one intentional habit, one healing moment at a time.

After divorce, self-doubt can creep in and make you question everything—including your own judgment. In Episode 12 of Dealing with Divorce, we explore the powerful process of rebuilding self-trust, one small promise at a time.

In Episode 17 of Dealing with Divorce, we confront the exhausting—but very real—urge to control everything after divorce: the narrative, the co-parenting, the healing timeline, and even how others see us. But control, especially over things that were never ours to manage, only keeps us stuck.
