HER EMPOWERED DIVORCE

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Lisa Dahl, Certified Intuitive Eating and Wellness Coach

SUMMARY:

Life is messy, magical and full of gifts – if we are in a place to receive them! That’s why Lisa Dahl, a certified Intuitive Eating and Wellness Coach, makes it her business to ensure clients have what they need to navigate life’s big transitions. As she explains to Host Beverly Price on this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, there are holistic systems that we can put in place to secure our children’s wellbeing as well as our financial stability and overall health through even the most challenging of divorce scenarios. You’ll find out how to cultivate hope through awareness and solid planning, tapping the right resources and talking with people in a position to provide necessary support. Think of it not as “self-care” but “self-preservation.” Divorce can be frightening and anxiety-provoking but, says Lisa, it needn’t be isolating. There are ways to find social nourishment and stay connected with our dreams by using tools like the Health & Wellness Vision Plan detailed in this episode. “When you have an intrinsic motivation and you feel it from the inside-out – that’s when change happens,” says Lisa, whose coaching helps women develop the clear, positive mindset and action plan they need to move through divorce towards the promise of a new – and happy – life beyond. As Beverly concludes: “Divorce can be a springboard to a happy and fulfilling life.” It’s just a matter of bringing the right help on board to get you there!

Lisa Dahl shares her message regularly on her YouTube program, "Getting Healthy Without Rules" and she also offers free “office hours” and lots of nourishing resources at this link.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

·      Nobody Wins: The goal when negotiating divorce is to get to the other side whole and intact. The question to ask is: What is the price of peace?

·      Power of Self-Care: Call it self-preservation, because that’s what it is! When we nurture ourselves, we are investing in our most precious asset and protecting those we love.

·      Strategic Advice: Why it’s important to know which professionals you’re talking to and the purpose behind – and goals for – those (often expensive) conversations.

·      The Big Picture: Remember that there’s nothing indulgent about putting in place a team that protects not only your finances and children but your own mental and emotional wellness (so you’re empowered and able to manage into the future).

·      About Lisa’s Wellness Coaching Superpowers, including help to:

o  Carve out space for self-care.

o  Call out and redirect negative self-talk.

o  Recognize achievements and things worth celebrating.

o  Create moments that spark hope.

·      What Your Health & Wellness Vision Plan is all about:

o  Not only divorced people but ALL people need one!

o  Summarizes goals, hopes, dreams, visions.

o  Assesses past challenges.

o  Highlights coping skills and tools learned along the way.

o  Codifies a vision with a (short-, medium- and long-term) timeline.  

o  Removes barriers to executing on plans moving forward.

·      Social Nourishment: How our health and wellness are tied to community connections – which can take many forms and guard against loneliness, isolation and food issues.

·      Actions & Behaviors: Why it’s important to shift away from big-picture outcomes (which can be overwhelming) to focus instead on motivational thoughts and incremental steps.

·      Three Actionable Tips:

o  #1: Find joy!

o  #2: Notice recurring negative thoughts and write down positive ones instead.

o  #3: Refrain from saying anything disparaging about your partner

·      Parting Thought: Life can be chaotic but there is magic inside of the mess. It’s just a matter of finding resources to help you find the promise and hope!

NOTABLE QUOTES:

·      “(Divorcing) was one of the most frightening times in my life and it was before the resources that are available now. The support wasn’t there.” (Lisa)

·      “Women have been taught for generations to take care of everyone else and not themselves. And to invest in everyone else and not themselves.” (Beverly)

·      “Some people think self-care equates to being lazy, but I think it can be one of the most active processes you take … It’s not just a nice to do. It’s a must do!” (Beverly)

·      “Social isolation and a lack of social nourishment are important risks for women. No matter what stage you are at ... there’s a space and place for everybody.” (Lisa)

·      “When you have an intrinsic motivation and you feel it from the inside-out – that’s when change happens.” (Lisa)

·      “The best gift you can give your child is for him or her to discover who you are as individuals and keep your (marital) baggage locked up.” (Lisa)

·      “As hard as it was – and I considered it financial suicide – (divorce) was the best decision I ever made for me and my children. They got to see the best of their dad versus the demise of our marriage.” (Lisa)

 A Warm Shoutout To Our Amazing Sponsor:

SOBERLINK

As parents, we often have gut feelings when something just isn’t right. 

This can be especially true in co-parenting arrangements where one parent is struggling with addiction. 

If you’re co-parenting with an ex-spouse who abuses alcohol, Soberlink can help. 

Soberlink’s alcohol monitoring system is the most convenient, reliable, and reasonable way for a parent to provide evidence that they are not drinking during parenting time. 

The system’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent. 

With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and your kids are able to maintain healthy relationships with BOTH parents.
