Divorce has a way of pulling everything to the surface—the grief, the guilt, the relief, the fear, and the hope. In this episode of Divorce Happens, Olivia sits down with relationship expert and EFT tapping practitioner Lizzy Gobst to explore what happens when all those emotions collide, and how to create space for them without being swallowed whole. Lizzy reminds us that mixed feelings don’t cancel each other out—they’re proof that we’re human, healing, and moving forward in our own time.

With a background in communication coaching and emotional regulation, Lizzy brings both warmth and practicality to the conversation. She explains the science and simplicity of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), a method that uses tapping on acupressure points to soothe anxiety, shift subconscious patterns, and reconnect us to agency. Through stories of her clients—and her own life—she illustrates how tapping can transform “stuck” moments into opportunities for insight, whether it’s navigating difficult conversations with an ex, handling paperwork that sparks dread, or untangling old family patterns that resurface post-divorce.

At its core, this episode is about reclaiming calm in the chaos. Lizzy offers listeners permission to hold contradictory feelings—grief alongside gratitude, fear alongside excitement—while also equipping them with a tool to quiet spirals in real time. The conversation is grounding, hopeful, and filled with tangible reminders that healing isn’t about erasing the past, but about creating new patterns that help us live fully in the present.
