My Love,
Welcome back to the MDC Podcast - Have you decided to leave?
If you’re not sure what to do next, this is the episode for you. I share:
* the four steps that steadied me in the first days after leaving,
* why freedom can feel terrifying (and how to make it safe),
* and the somatic tools that stopped my spirals.
We’ll talk friends vs. advice, legal/financial clarity, creating a sanctuary, social media boundaries to protect you (i.e. what not to do), and a gentle path to feeling both free and grounded.
Plus, an invite to my new Venus Yoga course starting Friday, designed to help build your confidence and self esteem as you navigate your divorce.
Apparently I can’t talk about this stuff without choking up… please know it’s because I know how you feel. I’ve been there and I’m in your corner. You don’t have to do this alone 🫶

3 Things To Do If You Want To Leave (and 1 thing to NOT do)
Leaving is huge. If you’ve decided to go … or you’re right on the edge … this episode walks you through what to do next, how to stay safe, and how to hold the headf*ck of wanting freedom while also wanting everything to stay the same.
I share my four essentials for the immediate aftermath, why “too much freedom” can feel destabilising, and how yoga + somatic tools helped me stop spiralling and trust myself again.
Key takeaways
* You can get through this without breaking—including maintaining a professional co-parenting relationship.
* Freedom is both expansive and scary; how to make it feel safe.
* My 3 MUST DOs and 1 MUST DON’T DOs
* Somatic tools that help your body feel free and safe—so you don’t sabotage yourself and your progress (like I did).
See below for links and resources mentioned in the episode and please, as always, I’d love to hear what you thought about the episode and what came up for you.
I had a lush message from Sam last week that made me cry… I won’t share it all as it’s deeply personal but this sentence sums up why I do this:
“Listening tonight really confirmed that I was choosing the right path for me…” Sam, mum of 2 little ones
So, remember, I’m just a mum like you, chatting here in my kitchen about divorce, and I’d love to hear from you. Tell me everything :)
You’ve got this. And I’ve got you.
