Life after divorce can feel confusing and heavy—not just because the relationship ended, but because your nervous system and your mind can get stuck in a repeating loop: overwhelm → numbness → rumination → panic → reactivity.

In this episode, we break down what's actually happening in that "Divorce Doom Loop," why it's so common in the weeks and months after a breakup or divorce, and how it quietly impacts everything else—your decisions, your energy, your work, your health, and even the legal and financial complexity of the divorce itself.

You'll also learn a simple "dashboard" framework for understanding the four pillars of divorce (emotional, legal, financial, and parenting if kids are involved), and why turning down the emotional dial reduces the strain on the other pillars.

If you've ever thought, "Why am I still feeling this?" we'll talk about why grief and anger don't disappear when paperwork is signed—and what it actually takes for those emotions to loosen their grip.
