As a mama, protection comes with the job. Protecting our kids, our home, our friends & family...even our soon-to-be-ex. But who’s protecting YOU?

I’m KristenNoel, certified divorce coach and creator of the Intuitive Divorce. In today’s episode, I dive into the concept of 'emotional guardrails' — a key tenet of divorcing differently. I reflect on the sacrifices we make as mothers and how often we neglect our emotional well-being, especially during a divorce. I also share a few personal experiences to underscore the importance of prioritizing your mental health during this challenging time. Let's change the outdated narrative and create a better path forward.
