The Divorce Awakening

Episode 2: The Emptiness After Divorce


Listen Later

"I would close my laptop on a Monday evening and think... what do I do now?"

That empty feeling when the kids leave for their dad's? Sam knows it intimately. And her solution for far too long was simple: beer, Netflix, repeat.

Welcome back to Divorce Awakening.

This week, Delia and Sam get real about the bit nobody warns you about β€” the messy, lonely, "I've made the decision but I have NO idea how to actually live now" middle.

In this episode, you'll hear:

πŸ”₯ Sam's brutally honest take on 50/50 co-parenting weeks β€” and the silence that hits when the kids walk out the door

πŸ”₯ The unglamorous truth about numbing out β€” and why there's zero judgment here

πŸ”₯ Why guilt might be the single biggest waste of time for divorced mums β€” and the difference between real guilt and just... self-flagellation with a saucepan

πŸ”₯ The "vibration" talk: how living in guilt, fear and anxiety actually shapes every decision you make (and not for the better)

πŸ”₯ How being triggered by someone is actually information about YOU

πŸ”₯ The honest conversation about jumping into a new relationship vs. doing the work β€” no judgment, but one big question to ask yourself

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like they're just going through the motions β€” surviving the week, numbing the silence, and wondering if there's another way to live.

Spoiler: there is. And it starts with one small choice.

Listen now β€” and ask yourself: what's your version of the Monday beer?
