Have you ever stayed in a situation — a relationship, a dynamic, a version of yourself — just because it felt safer than asking for more?

Do you second-guess your own judgment when it comes to dating because you still blame yourself for your marriage not working?

Have you ever heard "don't be picky" or "at your age you can't afford to be choosy" — and somewhere deep down, believed it?

EP 32| Rewriting Your Love Story in 2026

EP 40| Being Selective Isn't Bad, It's Biblical 

Did you do everything right after your divorce, you prayed, you cried, you kept going, and yet something still feels… stuck?

You're not weak. You're not faithless. And you are absolutely not alone.

In this episode, we're having the honest conversation that most people are too afraid to start, because the reason your healing is taking longer than expected might not be what you think.

Ask yourself honestly…

If you said yes to even one of these — this episode was made for you.

✦ The Difference Between Coping and Actually Healing There's a version of "strong" that looks like healing on the outside but is actually suppression on the inside. We talk about why managing your emotions is NOT the same as processing them — and why faith culture can sometimes accidentally reinforce this pattern. You'll leave knowing the difference, and what to do about it.

✦ Why You Might Be Grieving More Than Just Your Marriage Your divorce didn't just end a relationship. It dismantled a story — the story of who you were, who you thought you'd become, and what your future was supposed to look like. If healing feels impossible, it might be because you're trying to heal back to a woman who no longer exists. This is the conversation that changes everything.

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" — Isaiah 43:18-19

God isn't asking you to forget the pain. He's inviting you to look up — and see what He's already building in you.

Co-Parenting After Divorce: How to Protect Your Peace

If co-parenting with your ex leaves you feeling anxious, angry, or emotionally exhausted — this episode is for you.

One text. One phone call. One unexpected change in plans. And suddenly your entire day is derailed. Your heart is racing, your mind is spinning, and you can't focus on anything else. Sound familiar?

Co-parenting after divorce is one of the hardest emotional challenges a woman can face — especially when the relationship ended in pain. You're trying to heal. You're trying to show up for your kids. But every interaction with your ex feels like a step backward in your recovery.

Here's what I want you to know, you are not weak, and you are not broken. You just haven't been given the tools to protect your emotional space while still being the mom your kids need.

In this episode we're talking about:

✅ Why your ex still has the power to trigger you, even after the divorce

✅ How one interaction can completely hijack your emotions and your day

✅ Practical tools to protect your peace so YOU decide how your day goes, not him

✅ How to show up for your kids from a place of calm instead of chaos

✅ The faith-based mindset shift that will change how you approach every co-parenting interaction

By the end of this episode you will have real, actionable tools to take your emotional power back, one interaction at a time.

Because you deserve peace, sis. Not when he finally changes. Right now. Today.

🎧 This episode is for you if:

You feel like your ex still controls your emotions even though the marriage is over

Co-parenting stress is spilling over into your home and your relationship with your kids

You're tired of feeling anxious every time his name pops up on your phone

You want to heal completely, not just on the outside

EP 32| Rewriting Your Love Story in 2026

EP 40| Being Selective Isn't Bad, It's Biblical

Today is my birthday — and the best gift I can give you is the truth.

I found real love at 49. Not by luck. Not by magic. But by doing the work — even when I didn't feel like it, even when I doubted myself, even when I wondered if it was too late.

If you've been praying, waiting, and wondering why nothing is changing — this episode is for you.

In this episode I share:

"Faith without works is dead." — James 2:17

You don't have to be finished. You just have to be available.

🎧 Listen now — and share this with a friend who needs to hear it today.

EP 32| Rewriting Your Love Story in 2026

EP 40| Being Selective Isn't Bad, It's Biblical 

Tired of just getting through the day? Feeling like you should be further along by now — but the weight of everything divorce left behind is still keeping you stuck? Do you find yourself exhausted at night, not from living, but from simply surviving? What if the peace you've been desperately searching for... was actually closer than you think?

In this episode of Dating After Divorce for Christian Women Over 40, we're going somewhere deeply personal — your life after divorce. Not the highlight reel. Not the version you post on social media. The real one. The one where you're holding it all together on the outside but quietly falling apart on the inside. The one where you lie awake at night wondering, "Is this really all there is for me now?" and "Why does everyone else seem to be moving on but me?"

If divorce already made you feel like you lost a piece of yourself, the last thing you want is to admit that you still don't feel okay — even months or years later. So you've kept going. Pushing through. Telling everyone you're fine when deep down you're running on empty.

But here's what I need you to know before you press play — you are not broken. You are not behind. You are a woman walking through one of the most transformative seasons of her life, and survival mode was never meant to be your permanent address.

In this episode, I'm walking you through three powerful truths that will help you begin to loosen the grip that fear, exhaustion, and lost identity have on your life — shifts that are simple enough to start today, and meaningful enough to change everything about how you move forward.

This is not about just getting by anymore. This is about finally, truly living.

God has not forgotten about you — and the life He has planned for you is far greater than the one you've been settling for in survival mode.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." — Jeremiah 29:11

🎧 Press play. You've survived the storm — now it's time to step into the sunshine.

EP 32| Rewriting Your Love Story in 2026

EP 40| Being Selective Isn't Bad, It's Biblical 

Tired of living paycheck to paycheck?

Feeling like a failure because your divorce has also contributed to you being behind on bills?

Do you feel ashamed of not being able to manage your money?

What if the financial stress you've been carrying alone in silence... didn't have to stay that way?

In this episode of Dating After Divorce for Christian Women Over 40, we're going somewhere tender — your finances after divorce. This might be the topic you haven't dared to whisper out loud, not even to your best friend. The one that makes you lie awake at night wondering, "How did I end up here?" and "Why does it feel like everyone else has it together but me?"

If divorce already made you feel like you were wearing a scarlet letter, the last thing you want is for anyone to see you struggling financially too. So you've been carrying it. Quietly. Alone.

But here's what I want you to know before you press play — you are not failing at life. You are navigating one of the hardest seasons a woman can face. And you don't have to white-knuckle your way through it anymore.

In this episode, I'm walking you through three faith-rooted steps that will help you begin to loosen the grip that financial fear has on your life — steps that are simple enough to start today, and powerful enough to change your trajectory.

This is not about shame. This is about freedom.

God isn't finished with your story — and neither is your financial future.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." — Jeremiah 29:11

🎧 Press play. This one's for you.
