Divorced Christian Woman

Grief, Rage, and the Uninvited Guests of Healing


Listen Later

What if the emotions you're trying to keep at arm’s length (like grief and rage) are actually the very things that will set you free?

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Diana Swillinger. Today we’re talking about the emotional whirlwind that follows a divorce, especially for Christian women who were taught to be nice, stay quiet, and for the love of God, never get angry.


Well. We got angry. (And we’re still alive!)


If you’ve ever wondered:

  • “Am I losing it, or is this rage normal?”
  • “Why am I grieving when I wanted this divorce?”
  • “Do I actually miss him...what the hell is wrong with me?”
  • “What does forgiveness really mean if reconciliation isn’t safe?”

… then this episode is for you, my buffalo-hearted sister. (Yes, we talk about buffalo. And you’re gonna want one as your life mascot by the end.)
