Becoming You Again

Four Lies That Keep Divorced Women Stuck


Listen Later

Your brain can turn divorce into a courtroom where every thought sounds like evidence and every feeling becomes a verdict. We’re slowing that whole process down and letting you know what’s really going on: cognitive distortions, or in other words, “brain lies” that spike divorce. 

I break down four patterns that show up for so many divorcing and divorced women: all or nothing thinking (I’m either winning or failing), mind reading (everyone definitely hates me), catastrophizing (one hard moment means my future is ruined), and “should” statements (I should be over this by now). I'll also share the real-life ways these distortions hit parenting, co-parenting, and self-trust, plus why your brain loves to collect “evidence” for a story it invented.

Then I move into what to do when you catch yourself spiraling. Think less about perfection and more about being honest with what's true for you. 

If you want deeper support, I also share how one-on-one divorce coaching can help you implement these tools with weekly practice and guidance.
