How to Navigate the Divorce Process - Practical Advice I Wish I Would Have Known


Listen Later

Divorce is the second most stressful life event one can experience. It can also be emotionally draining and legally complex.

I know, because I went through a divorce five years ago. It was layered with caring for my aging parents and preparing my youngest, twin girls to go to college. I landed in the hospital for three days after the courts formally approved my divorce. Two weeks later, I was back in the hospital for another 4 days. It took me six months to recover and it's a path I don't recommend.

That’s why I put together the top advice I wished I’d known before, during, and after divorce in the hopes that you don’t struggle or land in the hospital like I did! 

In today’s empowering solo episode, I share my personal experiences through the scariest yet most liberating decision of my life. I include the top insights and wisdom I learned before, during, and after my divorce process. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The top 5 things I wished I would have known before I decided to divorce. 
  • Why it’s important to allow yourself to grieve the loss of your divorce and embrace the healing process.
  • The importance of understanding your legal rights.
  • The value of a divorce support group.
  • The transformative power of therapy—especially somatic therapy or somatic healing.  
  • Why you can use divorce as an opportunity to intentionally build a new life for yourself instead of shrinking away.

Join me so you can learn how to face the complexities of divorce with more clarity and confidence when everything feels out of control. Doing so will allow you to start your next chapter sooner and begin living an intentional life with more freedom and joy!


Much love,


Laurie
