Healing and Moving On After Divorce

Listen Later

As if divorce isn't hard enough - from the heartbreak of leaving someone you once saw as your "forever," to the absurdity of deciding custody over friends, and enduring unsolicited, holier-than-thou advice, the journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster.

Join me and April Nowlin, a three-time divorcee turned Divorce Recovery & Relationship Coach, as we own up to our past toxic relationship patterns and dish out our unfiltered truth about healing after divorce.


7 hard truths from this episode:

  1. There’s no right way to get divorced.
  2. Not all therapists are the right fit for you. 
  3. The grief may never end, but it will shift.
  4. There is no timeframe for when you will heal from divorce.  
  5. Just because it doesn’t hurt anymore doesn’t mean you’re healed. 
  6. Your healing in "singlehood" will not necessarily transfer over to skills and presence needed when you get in a relationship. 
  7. Divorce is a death but it is not a death sentence.
