Divorce Your Story Podcast

Infidelity is indeed a form of trauma. When someone has been betrayed in this manner, it severely impacts their psychological well-being. This act can alter a person's self-esteem, develop trust issues, and lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and emotional instability. It can make it difficult for individuals to form healthy relationships in the future and may cause them to question their self-worth and ability to trust others again.

According to statistics, 55% of divorces are due to infidelity, and infidelity occurs in 30-40% of non-marital monogamous relationships.

When infidelity happens, the question becomes: how do you recover? How can you prevent an experience like this from keeping you stuck in the past, and how do you move forward with strength and resilience in a way that enables you to embrace your next chapter?

On this week's podcast episode, join me as I talk with Infidelity Recovery Coach Briaina LaTrice as she shares of experience of recurring infidelity in her marriage, finding the courage to leave, why you must heal, and the importance of releasing the shame of leaving or staying.

When discussing "burnout," it's often associated with work; however, burnout can also occur in relationships, especially after the end of a marriage or partnership.

The emotional stress, imbalance of efforts, unhealthy dynamics, adjusting to a new normal, and a constant cycle of fight or flight can lead to physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion.

Recovering from burnout is not an overnight fix; it is a process that takes time. However, with the right routines, strategies, and habits, you can gradually regain your strength and well-being.

On this week's podcast, join me as I discuss the mental, emotional and physical toll of breakup burnout, identifying potential possible signs and symptoms, and four practical steps to support you on your recovery journey.

When divorce happens, judgment inevitably follows. Whether from culture, religion, or societal expectations, everyone seems to have an opinion on your decision.

This judgment can lead to anxiety and depression, causing you to feel stuck and unable to move forward into the next chapter of your life.

While you can't prevent others from judging your decisions, you can be intentional about how much significance their judgment holds in your life.

In this week's podcast, join me as I discuss the burden of others' opinions, the impact that judgment can have on you after divorce, and six essential questions to develop the benefit of being "unbothered" so that you can live a thriving life.

Over 6 million men suffer from depression per year, their suicide rate is four times higher than women and they're more likely to turn to substance abuse as a coping mechanism for mental health issues.

These statistics raises a question: "Are men misunderstood?"

The notion that men are exempt from pain, emotions, or empathy beyond themselves has shaped a distorted view and narrative about men, resulting in being overlooked and misunderstood.

This misconception extends from their closest relationships to societal and cultural norms, creating a narrative that often fails to recognize the depth of men's emotional lives and experiences.

On this week's podcast join me as I talk with Licensed Family & Marriage Therapist, Jonathan Gustave. Join us as he talks about being abandoned by both his parents, the challenges faced by the men he works with, and the barriers men encounter in expressing their emotions post-divorce.

Summer is here, and the school year is coming to a close.

For dynamics where the parents are no longer together, children maybe spending more time with the non-custodial parent. During this time, there's a lot of mixed emotions for the custodial parent, including concerns for their children's well-being, the challenge of co-parenting, and feelings of loneliness while the kids are away.

While it isn't always easy to adjust, when parents prioritize their children, it leads to happier kids and smoother transitions.

Join me on this week's podcast as I share my experience when my children spent their first summer away and offer five tips to help ease the adjustment for both you and your kids during their summer stay with the other parent.

When you find yourself consistently engaging with individuals who appear to be closed off, distant and emotionally disconnected, it's imperative to reflect and get clear on what this means for you.

Join me on this week's podcast as we discuss the signs of  someone who is emotionally unavailable, explore potential reasons behind it, and four key aspects to investigate for a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationship dynamics.

The topic of "Dating" is widely discussed, with much advice on how, when, and whom to date.

Following divorce, you frequently get asked "When are you doing to date again?" that brings much pressure to just "put yourself back out there" however, is that the best approach?

It's important to recognized that re-entering the dating scene post divorce is different. This involves the people you meet, yourself and even your life experiences.

From being too vulnerable, dating similar people to even relationship bouncing can lead to more of an emotional setback and hinder your journey towards going forward.
