In this episode of Reinventing the Arena, host Molly Connolly speaks with Julianna Bryant, a divorce recovery coach, entrepreneur, and solo hiker. Juliana shares her journey from feeling isolated and starting from "ground zero" after her divorce to rediscovering her confidence and building a new life through solo hiking and connecting with nature.

She explains how her love for hiking became a powerful tool for healing, self-reflection, and personal growth, ultimately leading her to create the Divorce Warriors Club—a supportive community where divorced women can form meaningful connections, regain self-trust, and embrace new beginnings.

Juliana discusses the common challenges that divorced women face, including a lack of confidence and difficulties in forming new friendships as adults. Through the Divorce Warriors Club, she provides a safe, judgment-free space for women to connect, share their stories, and find support. Juliana emphasizes that life after divorce is not the end but rather the start of a new, empowering chapter.
