The D Shift

Today I have the opportunity to speak with Dawn Wiggins, an extraordinary divorce recovery coach and therapist who has turned her personal experience with divorce into a mission to help other women navigate this challenging life transition. She employs a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, EFT tapping, journaling, and homeopathy, to facilitate profound healing of both the mind and body.

In this episode, Dawn opens up about her own journey through divorce and how it spurred her to lean into deep therapeutic work. You'll hear her candid reflections on dealing with anxious attachment and the societal pressures that often make divorce even more difficult to navigate. We'll get into the science behind her unique approach to therapy, discussing how emotions like grief and loneliness can be managed through innovative techniques like bilateral stimulation.

Dawn also offers invaluable insights into how women can use these tools to process difficult emotions in real-time, helping to transform moments of vulnerability into opportunities for personal growth. From addressing societal misconceptions about divorce to advocating for corporate awareness of its emotional impact, this episode explores the multifaceted challenges and opportunities of life post-divorce.

Whether you’re currently going through a divorce, still healing from a past one, or simply interested in powerful therapeutic approaches to emotional well-being, this conversation is packed with wisdom and practical advice. And don't forget, you can find more details and resources in our show notes, including how to access Dawn's "Loneliness Road Map," a free immersive journaling process with guided EMDR techniques.

Many people expect that the divorce decree will end the conflict, game playing, and need to keep going to court. This is not the case for those in high-conflict divorce situations. In today’s episode, we sit down with Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There Got Out and a certified domestic violence advocate and coach helping those facing these extremely difficult divorces. Lisa has an inspiring journey, having represented herself through numerous legal battles, culminating in helping pass the pivotal Jennifer's Law in Connecticut, which recognizes coercive control as a form of domestic violence.

Lisa shares her personal experiences with high-conflict divorce, the emotional toll of custody battles, and the importance of perseverance. She now coaches men and women globally on successfully navigating family court, separation, and post-judgment issues, emphasizing the need to break the cycle of trauma and empower parents to make the best decisions for children.

We look into the concept of legal abuse, its devastating effects, and how Lisa's groundbreaking work helps those affected find relief and justice. Plus, Lisa will discuss her book, practical advice, and resources available through Been There Got Out, and the importance of adopting a marathon mindset.

About the Guest:

Lisa Johnson is the co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high conflict divorce coach and certified domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself through scores of court appearances. Her case, published in the Connecticut Law Journal, is being used as legal precedent. Her live testimony helped pass Jennifers’ Law in Connecticut, the third state in America to expand its legal definition of domestic violence to include “coercive control.”

She and her partner, Chris, the male half of Been There Got Out, coach people in high-conflict relationships, divorce, custody battles, and co-parenting hell so they have the chance of the best outcome in family court and beyond. They also offer a weekly Legal Abuse Support Group for those dealing with narcissistic opponents in legal matters. Their book, "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances'' was released in March 2023.

Welcome back to another episode of The D Shift: Redefining Divorce And Beyond! Today, I have an incredibly insightful and uplifting conversation with engineer and mental health advocate, Nelanthini Rajesan. Join us as Nelanthini shares her unique journey growing up as a child of Tamil immigrant parents who were shaped by their experiences in a war-torn country. She talks about the impact of generational trauma, pressure of high expectations, and how the suicide of a friend led to a dramatic change in how she views life and aligning with your authentic self.

During our discussion, Nelanthini reflects on her path to self-discovery, especially during the pandemic, when she used meditation and walking to silence external voices and better understand herself. She emphasizes the need for self-awareness, self-love, and honoring one’s body. We also explore practical self-care techniques like journaling and "temperature checks"—tools to help recognize and address stress.

Whether you're seeking to align with your true self or just looking for some inspiration, Nelanthini’s story is sure to resonate. Don't forget to follow her on Instagram and TikTok at @nell.rajason.

About the Guest:

Nelanthini Rajesan, a Canadian-born engineer, boasts a multifaceted career spanning environmental, nuclear, rail, food, and toy industries. Her journey is deeply intertwined with her background as the daughter of Sri Lankan refugees, instilled with principles of excellence by her parents. While impacting hundreds through mentoring, keynotes, and workshops, Nelanthini grappled with living on autopilot, conforming to societal norms. A personal awakening, spurred by struggles and the loss of a friend to suicide, prompted her to question the authenticity of her life.

Now, advocating for intuition and authenticity, she guides others, especially women, to rediscover their true passions. Nelanthini's mission is clear: to support women reclaiming their identities amidst societal pressures, helping them break free from molds and embrace their authentic selves.
