Karen McMahon and The 12 Step Divorce Recovery Program

When you’re thinking about divorce or going through it, you can lose yourself in the negative energies swirling around you. Do you let the conflict eat away at you? Does fiction start becoming fact? Are you holding on too tightly to the things that annoy you? Karen McMahon brings her 12 Step Divorce Recovery Program to the Toaster today to talk with Seth and Pete about the challenges everyone going through a divorce faces and how you can learn to pay attention to what’s going on internally so you can let go of the things you can’t control and better handle the things you can.

There’s conversation about the differences between fact and fiction and how your monkey mind might be latching on to the ficitonal when you need to just focus on the factual. They discuss mindfulness and the power you’ll find when you learn to manage your internal self. Breathing. Letting go. There are a lot of tips discussed in today’s episode to help you get through your own divorce with more ease and focus.
