The Empowered Divorce Podcast

Why does jealousy show up after divorce—even when you don’t want your ex back? And why does envy hit so hard when you see other couples, families, or friends with the life you thought you’d have?

In this episode of The Empowered Divorce Podcast, I’m unpacking jealousy and envy through the lens of betrayal trauma and divorce recovery. These emotions aren’t proof that you’re failing at healing—they’re actually signals pointing to unmet needs, hidden longings, and places where your worth feels shaky.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between jealousy and envy (and why they both intensify after betrayal and divorce).

• How jealousy is tied to fear of being replaced or left behind.

• Why envy often reveals the deep desires for love, safety, and security you thought you had.

• The compassionate way to respond to these emotions so you don’t get stuck in shame.

• Practical steps to move through jealousy and envy with awareness, acceptance, and agency.

What does decluttering a drawer full of hoodies have to do with healing after betrayal and divorce? More than you might think.

In this episode, I share how a simple project of cleaning out my dresser drawers turned into a powerful reminder of the healing journey. Just like those drawers, our inner world can get overstuffed with old roles, relationships, patterns, and guilt that no longer fit who we are today.

Together we’ll explore five healing shifts that can help you rebuild after betrayal and a life-saving divorce:

• Letting go of guilt – releasing what no longer serves you without shame.

• Intentional choosing – giving everything in your life a fresh “yes” instead of defaulting to obligation.

• Private wins – why the most important victories in healing are often unseen by others.

• Making space for what’s next – learning to tolerate the discomfort of empty space instead of rushing to fill it.

• Choosing what goes back in – filling your “drawers” with peace, boundaries, values, and relationships that truly fit.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by old patterns, caught in guilt for letting go, or unsure what should come next in your healing journey, this episode will help you find clarity, courage, and self-trust.

✨ Tune in to discover how decluttering your drawers can become a metaphor for decluttering your life after betrayal and divorce.

It can be hard to know how to start living life after a life saving divorce. Where the story you thought you were writing with someone suddenly ends in shock, grief, and confusion. Using the powerful analogy of The Monster at the End of This Book, I explore why fear keeps us stuck in the past pages and how agency becomes your greatest plot twist. You’ll learn why your nervous system clings to old chapters, how to stop rereading the painful parts, and simple practices to begin turning the page into a future you get to author. If you’ve ever wondered how to move forward when the ending you dreamed of no longer exists, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t over—you’re still holding the pen.

Even if you chose divorce… you might still doubt it.
This episode is for every woman who left a harmful relationship—and now finds herself wondering:

• “What if I made the wrong choice?”

• “What if he really changed for her?”

• “What if it wasn't that bad after all?”

This kind of doubt is so common after a life-saving divorce, especially when your nervous system is detoxing from the chaos, and you’re sitting in the quiet that once felt like peace—but now feels unfamiliar.

We talk about:

• Why your doubt doesn't mean you made the wrong decision

• Nervous system withdrawals (and why they make you question everything)

• Cognitive dissonance and trauma bonds after betrayal

• What “peace” actually feels like after a high-conflict or covertly abusive marriage

• How to anchor into your truth even when your ex’s curated life makes you question your reality

If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling in “what ifs” or stalking their new partner online, this episode will help you come home to your knowing again.

🧠 Doubt is not a red flag. It's part of healing from being gaslit.
You didn’t leave because it was easy. You left because you finally trusted yourself.

What does real self-love look like after betrayal and a life-saving divorce? It’s not bubble baths and retail therapy. It’s not pretending you’re “fine.”

In this episode, I share five powerful ways you can start practicing self-love today in the middle of healing. These tools go beyond surface-level self-care and get to the root of rebuilding your relationship with yourself—through alignment, boundaries, resilience, and compassion.

Together we’ll explore:

• Getting honest about what’s out of alignment – learning how betrayal and divorce can knock you off balance, and how to come back to your values.

• Setting and honoring boundaries – protecting your nervous system by not abandoning yourself when co-parenting or facing ongoing conflict.

• Paying attention to who and what brings out the worst in you – and how to funnel your energy toward the spaces and people who help you feel grounded and whole.

• Ruthlessly prioritizing your wellbeing – why self-care in trauma recovery is not a luxury, but a necessity for healing your nervous system.

• Celebrating yourself – shifting from self-criticism to noticing your progress, honoring even the smallest wins, and building self-trust through compassion.

If you’ve ever wondered why self-love feels elusive after betrayal—or why you keep abandoning yourself in the process—this episode will give you both validation and practical tools to shift.

✨ Healing isn’t about becoming perfectly regulated or polished. It’s about practicing alignment, protecting your energy, and showing up for yourself—over and over again.

In this episode, I’m inviting you into the yoga studio with me—kind of. I recently did an isometric yoga workout and whoa, it became the perfect metaphor for healing after betrayal. You’ll hear why real nervous system healing doesn’t mean you’re calm all the time, and how building emotional and somatic strength is often quiet, shaky, and invisible—but life-changing.

We talk about:

• What a healthy nervous system really looks like (it’s not what you think)

• Why getting triggered isn’t a sign you’re broken

• How to build capacity for discomfort without abandoning yourself

• The myth of toxic positivity and “never getting dysregulated again”

• Why boundaries, shaky truths, and rest are the new strength reps

If you’ve ever felt like you're doing something wrong because you're still getting triggered, or if you wonder when healing will finally stick—this one’s for you.

What happens when the life you imagined falls apart? When the timeline you worked so hard to follow unravels—through betrayal, divorce, loss, or just life being life?

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it feels like to grieve the life you thought you’d have, and how to start living the one you’re in. I’ll share stories from my own healing journey, including how a game of M.A.S.H. shaped my childhood dreams and how a bush full of vibrant flowers in the Arizona desert brought me back to life when I was ready to give up.

We’ll talk about:

• Why timelines and life scripts can keep you stuck in shame

• The grief of “almost”—and why it hurts so much

• How comparison steals your agency

• What to do when it feels like you’ve been left behind

• Tiny ways to find joy, possibility, and purpose—right here, right now

• How to hold onto the dream without clinging to the plan

If you're navigating life after betrayal or divorce and wondering if it's too late, if you're too far behind, or if you’ll ever feel inspired again—this episode is for you.

Because even when life doesn’t go as planned… it’s not over. You still get to choose what happens next.

Have you ever felt your empathy was a problem? Or wished you weren’t so empathetic?
If you've ever been told you're too emotional, too much, or too sensitive—and you've been carrying the emotional labor in your relationships—this episode is for you.

In today’s powerful conversation, I’m talking directly to the women who have had their empathy used against them—those of you who’ve tried so hard to fix, soothe, and hold it all together.
I’m naming the truth: your empathy was never the problem.
It was just handed to the wrong people.

Empathy without boundaries is emotional self-neglect. But when empathy is rooted in a secure self, it becomes your sacred strength.

“Amie, does it really get better?”

In this episode, I’m answering her directly—and tenderly.
If you're stuck in that foggy, aching space where hope feels out of reach, this conversation is for you. I’m not here to offer toxic positivity or polished promises. I’m here to speak the truth: what better actually looks like after betrayal, why it often doesn't feel believable at first, and how you can still take steps forward—even if you’re not fully convinced yet.

We’ll explore:

• Why “better” doesn’t mean perfect or pain-free

• How trauma clouds your ability to trust in the future

• What post-traumatic growth really looks like in daily life

• What to do when your brain and body can’t find hope

• Why you don’t have to believe it yet to begin

This is a love letter to anyone who is hurting and unsure. You don’t have to feel ready. You just have to keep going.

✨ Because healing isn't a promise I make to you—it's a truth that's already living inside you, waiting to be remembered.

You didn't ask to do this healing work but you are doing it anyways- THAT is going to make you resilient! What if the idea of self-love just makes you tired? Or even angry? What if you're still trying to bloom in the aftermath of betrayal?In this final episode of the Summer Song Series, I’m diving deep into two songs that speak directly to the raw truth of healing after betrayal trauma—Self Love by Avery Anna and Resilient by Katy Perry.Let’s be honest—healing can feel exhausting. It can feel unfair. And for many of you, the phrase “just love yourself” doesn’t feel like a warm hug—it feels like pressure, noise, or even another way you're not measuring up. If you've ever rolled your eyes at a therapist telling you to list 10 things you love about yourself, you're not alone. I've been there.

Through the lyrics of Self Love, I give you permission to hate how hard this all is—and still move toward something truer. And through Resilient, we come back to that part of you that knows she's made to rise. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

If you’ve ever felt like you're too broken, too behind, too tired to heal—this one is for you. You are not behind. You are not too far gone. You are still blooming, even in the cracks. You are resilient. You were born to be brilliant.
