Ep 33: Why divorce advice sometimes makes everything worse


Listen Later

Hi lovely,

Today’s podcast is about something I think so many women experience in divorce… myself included … but don’t always realise it’s happening.

When you’re trying to do all the “right” things, get all the right information, listen to the podcasts, ready the advice, talk to solicitors … then by the time you’re trying to make a good decision you’re already overwhelmed.

Then another email arrives.A handover is coming up.Your ex sends a message.

And suddenly your whole body goes into panic.

Your chest tightens.Your brain seems to be completely against you. You can’t think straight.Everything feels too much.

And then the really frustrating part?

The advice that was supposed to help becomes triggering too. There are just too many words, too many options, too many things to ‘get wrong’.

That’s what I’m talking about in today’s episode:

When advice stops being useful…

It’s not that you’re weak or dramatic or “not coping properly”.

It’s that your body is bracing before your brain has even caught up.

And this is exactly why I created my new free 3-part series:

When Divorce Feels Like Too Much

Part 1 is available now and walks you through what to do in the first 10 minutes after a trigger, so you’re less likely to lose the whole day to panic, spiralling, overthinking or shutdown.

Then Part 2 goes live tomorrow and we go deeper into how to stop divorce getting unlimited access to your nervous system, your sleep, your energy and your life.

» Listen to today’s podcast above or wherever you get your podcasts

» And then watch Part 1 here or save it for later:

You don’t have to keep living in reaction mode.

You’ve got this. And I’ve got you.Hannah XOX

PS Save the Date

Part 3 of When Divorce Feels Like Too Much is live on Wednesday 13th May at midday.

I’ll walk you through my Calm-First Method, and how it helps you steady yourself and settle the spiral, so you can choose your next steps with intention instead of living in constant reaction mode.
