How to Split a Toaster: A Divorce Podcast About Saving Your Relationships

Is Life Happening TO You or Is Life Happening FOR You? A Conversation with Resilience Coach Michelle Dickinson


Listen Later

Today, we’re talking about resilience. It’s an easy word to throw around when you’re feeling strong, but when you’re confronted with divorce, finding that same strength can feel impossible. Michelle Dickinson is a resilience coach, speaker, and author, and also leads a successful Resilience Coaching practice where she and her coaches work with individual clients to help them reclaim balance and personal power, and create better structures and routines that help them feel more in control of their emotional well-being. Michelle joins Seth and Pete to help people better understand what it means to be resilient, particularly when dealing with divorce. Learning tools like remembering that you are a reflection of what you do every day can help. Being intentional. Taking ownership and agency. All of this is a way to avoid the trap of falling into your day where you feel like you’re always behind the 8-ball. It’s a powerful conversation that we know will help those dealing with divorce, but really are great tips for everyone.
