When divorce blows up the labels you’ve lived with like that of wife, partner, the one who holds it all together, what’s left can feel confusing and unknown. That's when insecurity rears it's ugly head. In this episode, I talk about why insecurity really is...spoiler alert - it's not a feeling, but instead a belief system wired by impossible, contradictory standards. Instead of chasing confidence by changing jobs, bodies, or relationship status, I make a case for something deeper: emotional security, the steady sense that you won’t abandon yourself when life gets messy.

I explore how cultural scripts teach women to shrink, self-monitor, and doubt their instincts, and why divorce often exposes those scripts rather than creating them. You'll get a reminder of Gloria’s powerful monologue from The Barbie Movie while I trace how how approval-seeking keeps you stuck and how self-trust begins with curiosity. 

If you’re craving a map for life after divorce that doesn’t hinge on being chosen, this conversation will ground you. You’re not becoming someone else; you’re becoming you again defined by your values, protected by your boundaries, and guided by your own voice.
