Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce

Ep. 305 Day 11: After Divorce, New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work — Here’s What Does


Listen Later

If New Year’s resolutions have never worked for you...especially after divorce, it’s not because you lack discipline, motivation, or follow-through.

It’s because the version of you who survived divorce is not wired to safely become the woman you’re trying to create.

After divorce, most women try to change their lives by changing their behavior.

But behavior never sticks when the nervous system doesn’t feel safe expanding.

In this New Year’s Day episode, we break down why resolutions fail specifically after divorce—and what actually creates change instead.

We talk about:

  • Why “New Year, New You” language backfires on a nervous system shaped by loss
  • How inherited roles, survival strategies, and emotional suppression block capacity
  • The real reason desire alone isn’t enough to create change
  • Why your brain will offer a thousand excuses—and why that doesn’t mean you’re failing
  • What permission has to do with confidence, worthiness, and follow-through

You’ll be guided through a powerful journaling exercise we call the New Year Permission Slip—not focused on what you want, but on who you’re willing to become to receive it.

Because the woman who calls in a fuller life after divorce:

  • has more capacity
  • feels safer being seen
  • trusts herself more deeply
  • and no longer abandons herself to stay comfortable

And she doesn’t arrive by accident.

🎯 Your Invitation

Ask yourself:

  • What am I calling in this year?
  • And what am I willing to put on the line to become the woman who can hold it?

We believe in you.

The real question is—will you give yourself permission to believe in you too?
