What are the questions about divorce you’re afraid to say out loud?

Will I ever love again? Did God want my divorce? Should I have stayed longer? Could I have done more? Can my marriage still be saved? Will my children resent me? What if I’m actually happier divorced? And will I ever recognize myself again?

In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, we’re talking honestly about some of the hardest questions Christian and Latter-day Saint men and women face before, during, and after divorce.

There aren’t always simple answers. But there are healthier questions we can ask, lessons we can learn, and ways to move forward without abandoning our faith or spending years second-guessing the past.

We’ll talk about reconciliation, regret, dating your ex, children and divorce, finding love again, rebuilding your identity, and most importantly, learning to trust God when your life looks nothing like you thought it would.

Divorce may be part of your story, but it does not get to write the final chapter. God has not given up on you, and your best days do not have to be behind you.

What if the change you’re waiting for doesn’t begin with your spouse, your relationship status, or your circumstances? What if it begins with you?

In this episode, I’m joined by fellow coach Bob Smith, creator of Become the Captain, for a conversation about the power of working on yourself and becoming the person you want to be, regardless of what someone else chooses. Whether you’re struggling in your marriage, considering divorce, separated, divorced, or navigating a new chapter of life, there is still so much within your power to change.

Bob and I share success stories from men and women we’ve worked with and talk about personal responsibility, people-pleasing, boundaries, emotional health, faith, communication, and what can happen in our relationships when we begin showing up differently. We also dive into some of the harder relationship issues, including sexless marriages and how couples can begin rebuilding trust, intimacy, connection, and passion.

This fall, Bob will lead men through his 12-week Become the Captain program, while I’ll lead women through my 12-week program, The Joyful Covenant Woman, designed to help women reclaim joy, peace, and confidence in their lives and relationships.

You may not have the power to change another person, but you do have the power to decide who you want to become. And that change can impact everything.

Have you ever wondered why you can't think clearly after divorce?

Why simple decisions suddenly feel overwhelming. Why you're constantly exhausted. Why you replay conversations in your mind, obsess over what happened, or find yourself checking your ex's social media even though you know it only makes things worse.

If you've ever thought, "What is wrong with me?" this episode is for you.

The truth is, there may be a lot less wrong with you than you think.

In this episode, we'll talk about what divorce actually does to your brain in simple, practical terms. No complicated neuroscience. No therapy jargon. Just an understanding of why you're experiencing these common reactions and, more importantly, how faith in Jesus Christ can help you move through them.

You'll learn:

• Why making decisions feels so difficult after divorce

• Why you're mentally and emotionally exhausted

• Why you replay conversations over and over

• Why you become obsessed with finding answers

• Why it's so hard to stop checking your ex's social media

• Why you may feel emotionally numb

• How understanding your brain can help you stop judging yourself

• Why your brain influences your healing but doesn't define your future

God understands both your heart and your mind. While your brain may naturally respond to loss by trying to protect you, the Lord is helping you heal, grow, and become stronger through this experience.

No matter where you are in your healing journey, remember this: you are not broken, you are not crazy, and with God's help, you can overcome this.

Attachment Styles After Divorce: They Explain You, But They Don't Define You

Have you ever wondered why you react the way you do in relationships? Maybe you find yourself fearing abandonment, pulling away when things get difficult, or feeling stuck in the same unhealthy patterns over and over again.

In this episode, Jenn explores attachment styles through the lens of healing after divorce. Rather than focusing on labels, she shares a hope-filled perspective: attachment styles are simply patterns of behavior, not your identity.

You'll learn:

What the four attachment styles are in simple, practical terms

How these patterns often show up in marriage and after divorce

Why trauma can temporarily change the way you relate to others

How recognizing your patterns can help you grow instead of keeping you stuck

Why your past doesn't determine your future

How Jesus Christ can heal your heart and help you create new patterns moving forward

Whether you identify with an anxious, avoidant, fearful, or secure attachment style, this episode will remind you that your story isn't over. God can transform hearts, strengthen relationships, and help you become the person He created you to be.

Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6

Divorce can leave you wondering if your family will ever feel whole again. Many parents worry about the impact on their children, struggle with feelings of failure, and question whether healthy relationships are still possible after everything they've been through.

In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, I sit down with marriage and relationship coach Heather Johnson to talk about what it really takes to build strong families, navigate forgiveness, and create healthy relationships after divorce. Heather brings years of experience teaching family and relationship principles, along with insights from her work helping couples and families strengthen communication, deepen connection, and find joy in their relationships.

Together, we discuss:

• Whether a family can still thrive after divorce

• How to help children heal and feel secure

• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation

• Healthy boundaries with an ex-spouse

• Common challenges in blended families

• How faith can support healing instead of adding guilt and shame

• What strong families do differently

Whether you're newly separated, navigating co-parenting, rebuilding after divorce, or creating a blended family, this conversation offers practical wisdom, hope, and encouragement for the road ahead.

You're Not Behind: The Truth About Healing After Divorce

Do you ever feel like everyone else has moved on...except you?

Maybe it's been a year. Maybe it's been several years. Yet every now and then, the grief still catches you by surprise, leaving you wondering, "Why am I not farther along?"

If you've ever felt like you're healing too slowly, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, we're exposing one of the biggest lies people believe after divorce: that healing should happen on someone else's timeline.

You'll learn why Year Two is often harder than Year One, what true acceptance actually looks like, and why healing isn't measured by time, but by transformation.

You'll discover:

❤️ Why feeling "behind" is one of the biggest misconceptions after divorce

❤️ Why healing often feels harder after the crisis has passed

❤️ What true acceptance really means (and what it doesn't)

❤️ The "sixth stage" of healing that can completely change your future

❤️ How to know if you're actually healing

❤️ A powerful message of hope rooted in Jesus Christ and God's perfect timing

No matter where you are in your healing journey, remember this:

You are not behind.

God is still working.

Your story isn't over.

Have you forgiven everyone... except yourself? After divorce, many faithful Christian and LDS men and women find themselves trapped in a cycle of self-judgment. You replay conversations. You second-guess your decisions. You wonder if you failed your family, your marriage, or even God. It feels like accountability, but what if it's actually keeping you from the healing Christ wants for you?

In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, Jenn explores the difference between healthy repentance and unhealthy self-condemnation. You'll discover why shame is never God's plan for your life, how self-judgment quietly steals your peace, and what it really means to accept the Savior's grace.

If you've ever thought, I should have known better, I ruined everything, or I'll never get it right, this episode is for you.

You'll learn:

Why self-judgment keeps you stuck after divorce

The difference between accountability and condemnation

How to recognize whether your thoughts are coming from God or from shame

A simple prayer and practical exercise to help you release guilt

How Romans 8:1 can transform the way you see yourself

No matter what you've been through, your divorce is not your identity. Your mistakes are not your identity. You are a beloved son or daughter of God, and because of Jesus Christ, healing, peace, and joy are still possible.

Scripture Highlight: "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus."

Romans 8:1
