At 78, Dawn Overstreet has been married four times, lived off the land in the Canadian boonies, run an international jewelry business, and survived cancer using a combination of medicine and her own inner work. None of it, she says, was wasted. Every relationship and every setback taught her something she still uses.

In this conversation, she talks about tracing physical symptoms back to their spiritual causes, why she spent years letting other people direct the picture of her own life instead of stepping into it herself, and what it actually takes to rebuild after loss: patience, honest evaluation of what you gained, and the willingness to change your own story instead of staying stuck in it.

Sanna Kettunen is a graphic artist, brand designer, and author living outside Helsinki, Finland. Her book "The Best Is Yet to Come" came out of two divorces and years spent unable to sit still, let alone alone, until she learned to.

In this conversation, she traces that shift: from constantly seeking cues and validation from other people, to using guided meditation as a bridge into stillness, to finally trusting her own instincts without anyone else's approval. This episode is for any woman starting her own rebuilding process and wondering if the discomfort ever eases. It does, and Sanna's story is the proof.

Meet Gina Kroezen, a health stylist based in Amsterdam who spent years chasing unexplained health issues before realizing her body was trying to tell her something her mind kept overriding. In this conversation, we dig into what actually happens when women stop listening to their bodies during major life transitions like divorce, and why "eat healthy, go to the gym" advice misses the real question underneath it all.

Gina shares how trauma and stress show up physically long before they're named emotionally, why food intolerances often hide in plain sight, and why so many women come out of divorce having built a wall so strong that softness starts to feel unsafe. This episode is a reminder that self-care isn't a bubble bath. It's the daily practice of asking your body what it actually needs and being brave enough to answer.

If you've done the work, read the books, followed the advice, and still find yourself in the same patterns with the wrong people, this episode is going to feel like a relief.

Joan Nwosu has been engaged eight times. One divorce. Years of following every dating framework that existed. And what she discovered along the way is that the problem was never effort. It was trying to attract love from a version of herself that wasn't really her.

Joan is a dating coach who recently integrated human design into her work after noticing something her clients kept telling her: the advice works, but it doesn't feel like me. That one sentence changed everything about how she helps women date after divorce.

In this conversation, we talk about what human design actually is and why it matters more than any dating checklist, the difference between love languages and love gates and why one goes so much deeper than the other, what happens when you're operating from your "not self" in relationships and why you keep attracting the same type of person no matter how much inner work you think you've done, and why burying yourself in your career after divorce feels productive but isn't the whole answer.

We also get into something I don't talk about enough: how showing up in full masculine energy at work and then bringing that same energy home contributed to the unraveling of my own marriage. Joan names it in a way that's going to land for a lot of you.

Her parting message: your divorce wasn't a failure. It was a reactivation. The question is what you do with it from here.

Joan also has a free human design dating archetype report for listeners, just drop us a message to get access.

Lorna Gale left a 30-year marriage at 63 to step fully into work she could no longer ignore. What led her there wasn't a dramatic falling out. It was the quiet, persistent realization that staying meant slowly disappearing.

Lorna is a somatic sexologist and what she calls a sex and spirit alchemist of the feminine-led life. Her work sits at the intersection of body, sexuality, and spiritual reclamation and it was born directly out of her own journey of disconnection, awakening, and choosing herself.

We talk about what it means to grow up believing your body isn't yours and how that belief silently shapes every relationship you enter, why so many women arrive at divorce completely disconnected from their own desires, not just from their partner, the difference between yin feminine, yang feminine, yin masculine, and yang masculine and why understanding all four changes how you see yourself, what it actually looks like to reclaim your erotic life force energy after years of suppressing it and why that has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with power, and the tree in the pot, Lorna's image for what it feels like to stay in a container you've outgrown.

She also says something that landed hard for me personally: everything we judge in our partners is a mirror. Every single thing. That one is worth sitting with long after this episode ends.

Lorna's message to women coming out of divorce: you don't need to find your other half out there. Come home first. Use everything outside you as a mirror. The treasure was here the whole time.

Lynda Talley spent decades navigating abuse — and when she finally left her marriage, she was standing in the shower when she felt it: a sense of release, a glimpse of what her life was actually supposed to look like. The moment she walked out of that bathroom, everything blew up. But she knew she was worth more than what was waiting for her on the other side of that door.

That moment set her on a path of healing that led to CPTSD diagnosis, therapy, and eventually the work she does now — helping women find their voice, understand their power, and come back to themselves.

Lynda is the creator of Discover Your Radiance. In this conversation we get into the kind of inner work that doesn't come with a timeline.

We talk about 

Lynda also works with soul blueprints, Akashic records, and intuitive tools to help women understand who they are at a deeper level. If that language is new to you, she explains it in a way that's accessible and grounded.

Her parting message: start with the mirror. Look yourself in the eye. Say "I am worthy." That's where it begins.

Ry Duong's parents escaped the Cambodian genocide. She spent nine years in a Thai refugee camp before her family was accepted into Canada. She lost her baby sister to depression at 30, a heartbreak that cracked Ry's world open and made her look hard at the 17-year marriage she was in.

She filed for divorce. She started over. And she built a life and a relationship so intentional, so grounded in self-knowledge, that she says her partner is with her, not because she needs him, but because she chooses him. Every day.

This conversation is about what comes after the hard work of healing and what a healthy relationship actually looks like when two whole people build one together.

We talk about 

Her parting message: do your life. A man who is right for you will be drawn to a woman who is fully living hers. You are not the relationship. You are the woman the relationship gets to be part of.

You can download the habit tracker, start the morning routine, read all the books. And still find yourself right back where you started. That's what happens when you skip the foundation and that's the first thing needs fixing.

In this solo episode I'm breaking down why creating new habits after divorce is harder than anyone tells you and what actually has to happen first before any of the outer work can stick.

I share the framework I use with the women I work with: identify the habitual response you want to change, trace it back to its origin, rewrite the story attached to it, and then, and only then, build the new habits on top of that new foundation. Skip any of those steps and you're renovating a house with a cracked foundation. It looks good until it doesn't.

I also share something personal: a belief I carried for years that food was safety, born from the loneliness of arriving in a new country at 15 and not knowing how to belong. And yes, some beliefs can take time to dismantle. 

This episode is for the woman who keeps starting over and wondering why nothing holds. The answer isn't more discipline. It's deeper work, and it's absolutely doable.

Grab your journal. You're going to want it for this one.

Most women going through divorce know they need a lawyer. What they don't always know is that the negotiation happening outside the courtroom, not inside it, is where the real financial decisions get made. And if you don't understand the numbers, you can't negotiate for what you actually deserve.

Donna Cates has spent 25 years as a wealth manager working specifically with women in transition. Divorce is her specialty. And in this conversation, she gets into the financial realities that most people don't talk about until it's too late.

We cover 

Donna also shares her own divorce story, coming home from a work trip to find her world turned upside down, and the pattern she kept repeating in relationships until she finally did the inner work to understand her part in it.

Her parting message: don't be afraid of money. Make yourself a seat at the financial conversation table. Knowledge isn't intimidating. It's the thing that protects you.

Tammy Scarlett didn't go through one hard thing. She went through several: breast cancer, divorce, a capsule rupture from her implants that left her sicker than the cancer ever had, all within a few years of each other. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, she realized they weren't separate events. They were the same message, delivered louder each time.

She just wasn't home enough to hear it.

Tammy is the founder of the Women's Wellness Network and a student of holistic health whose work was born not from theory but from necessity, figuring out her own path when the conventional answers ran out.

In this conversation, we get into the real stuff.

We talk about:

She also talks about GUS, her name for God, Universe, Spirit, and the slow, deliberate work of learning to hear her own voice again after years of dismissing it.

Her parting message: figure out how you show up in fear. Start there. Everything else, your relationships, your choices, your healing, flows from that one piece of awareness.
