Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff with Kristine Carlson

Reinventing After Divorce with Heather Sloan


Listen Later

Reinventing yourself after divorce is not about becoming someone new, it’s about remembering who you’ve always been beneath the roles, expectations, and shared history.

In this heartfelt and deeply honest conversation, Kristine Carlson welcomes Heather Sloan to explore what it really looks like to move through the emotional terrain of divorce and into a more grounded, self-honoring life. Heather opens up about the quiet grief, the identity shifts, and the tender moments of reckoning that often accompany the end of a marriage. She also shares how, little by little, she began to reconnect with her own voice, her own needs, and her own sense of possibility.

Together, Kristine and Heather reflect on the power of not sweating the small stuff, especially during life’s most overwhelming transitions. When everything feels uncertain, it’s often the smallest acts of self-kindness and presence that help guide us forward. 

You’ll hear reflections on letting go of perfectionism, softening self-judgment, and allowing space for both grief and growth to coexist. Heather’s story is a beautiful example of how clarity and strength can emerge when we choose to meet ourselves with compassion instead of criticism.

Let this conversation be an invitation to trust your resilience, honor your healing, and embrace the unfolding of your next chapter.
