The Empowered Divorce Podcast

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful teaching from one of my live Q&A sessions where we unpacked the real reasons grief still shows up—even when you're the one who initiated the divorce or knew it was the right thing. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, Why am I still grieving? Shouldn’t I be over this by now?—this is the conversation you need.

I walk you through five core truths about grief after betrayal and divorce, including:

• Why grief doesn’t mean regret

• How you can grieve someone who was harmful

• Why unacknowledged grief leads to emotional paralysis

• How to use a grief inventory as a tool for clarity and healing

• Why the body needs to mourn too—because grief is stored somatically

We explore how to move through grief with more compassion and agency, and why making space for grief (instead of judging it) is essential to healing. If you’ve felt stuck, confused, or exhausted by the emotional layers of recovery—this episode will bring clarity, validation, and a path forward.

If you've ever thought, “I’ll never be that vulnerable again” after betrayal—this episode is for you. In this deeply personal solo episode, I explore the complex layers of vulnerability after betrayal, abuse, and a life-saving divorce. Building on my last episode and conversation with my husband, I take you further into the impact of betrayal trauma—what I call vulnerability shock, hesitation, and hangover—and how these experiences rewire our relationship with openness, connection, and trust. You'll learn what healthy vulnerability really looks like, how to recognize over- and under-vulnerability as trauma responses, and why boundaries are not barriers, but essential companions to vulnerability.I offer practical reflection tools, and examples of emotional boundaries that protect without shutting you down.
This is a must-listen for anyone craving connection but terrified of being hurt again.

Dating after a life-saving divorce isn't just dating—it's navigating a minefield of triggers, fears, and deep vulnerability. In this powerful and honest episode, Today I am joined by my husband Scott to explore one of the most asked questions in my Dating from Within workshop: When should I share my past trauma, betrayal, or abuse when I start dating again? Together, we unpack what emotional safety actually looks like, the difference between oversharing and intentional vulnerability, and how to recognize healthy responses in a partner. You’ll also hear examples from our own relationship—including the messy, imperfect, and deeply human moments—that will help guide you in your own journey. Whether you're just thinking about dating or already in a new relationship, this conversation is packed with insight, validation, and encouragement.
👑 Trigger warning: this episode features a man who shows up in a healthy way—grief may surface, and that’s okay.

🎙️ P.S. Registration is now open for the next Dating from Within Workshop, June 12–14. Check the show notes for the link.

In this empowering episode, I dive deep into the profound differences between a typical divorce and a life-saving divorce. If you’ve ever felt guilt, confusion, or shame because your divorce doesn’t look like the amicable, co-parenting stories on social media, this episode is for you.

I explore why leaving an abusive, toxic, or harmful relationship is not a failure but an act of courage and self-preservation. Discover why the grief, healing process, and rebuilding after a life-saving divorce are so unique—and why it's okay if your journey doesn’t look like anyone else’s.

Learn how to anchor into your truth, reclaim your autonomy, and move forward despite societal expectations and the relentless pressure to “make it work.”

In this follow-up episode, I dive into the remaining 3 defensive driving principles and how they mirror the emotional terrain of divorce and healing. From life’s constant distractions (yes, even those triggered texts or your ex’s latest antics) to adjusting your internal GPS and setting the right “music” or emotional tone—you’ll learn what it means to stay grounded and aligned, even when life feels out of control.We’ll also talk about how to make proper emotional adjustments—like clearing your mental windshield, checking your posture in healing, and making sure you’re not carrying weight that was never yours. These metaphors are more than clever—they’re practical, soulful tools to help you reclaim your lane and find clarity in the midst of chaos. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start driving your life forward again, don’t miss this one.

Life after betrayal or a life-saving divorce can feel like driving through a storm without a map—and often without much light. In this episode, I’m breaking down the first 3 principles of defensive driving and showing you how they hold deep wisdom for your healing journey. We’ll talk about how rushing through pain can actually delay healing, what it means to keep both hands on the wheel of your life, and how emotional boundaries (aka following distance) are essential for peace and clarity.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or like you’re still letting your ex or others control your direction, this episode is for you. These metaphors will give you a new lens to understand your own healing and help you take steady, empowered steps forward—one intentional mile at a time.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a loop—replaying the same painful memories, trying to make sense of what happened, wondering if you'll ever stop thinking about it? If you've been through betrayal or abuse, rumination can feel like it's taken over your mind. But you're not alone, and there's a reason your brain is doing this. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack why rumination happens, why it’s actually a protective response, and most importantly, how to break free from its grip. You deserve peace, and you have the power to reclaim it.

After betrayal, abuse, or a life-saving divorce, the idea of “creating the life you want” can feel overwhelming—or even impossible. In this episode, I’m answering the quiet question so many women carry: How do I even begin again? I’ll guide you through the first steps to rebuilding your life using the power of awareness, acceptance, and agency. You’ll learn how creativity is part of your true self (according to Internal Family Systems), why trauma keeps you stuck, and how to take one small step forward—even if you don’t have the full picture yet. Whether you're feeling lost, uncertain, or afraid to hope again, this episode is here to remind you: you are not broken, and you are still the creator of your life.

Learn how to identify these destructive patterns, especially with your ex, and discover empowered ways to respond for healthier interactions. This episode is dedicated to becoming aware of these roles, gaining self-empowerment, and stepping out of the constant drama to create a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

Trust after betrayal can feel impossible, especially after a life-saving divorce. In this episode, I explore the real question behind, “Will I ever trust again?”—which isn’t just about trusting others, but about learning to trust yourself again.

If you've ever blamed yourself for trusting the wrong person, doubted your intuition, or felt stuck in fear, this episode will help you:

• Understand why trust feels so unsafe after betrayal trauma.
• Recognize how your nervous system mistakes vigilance for wisdom.

🎧 Tune in now to start rebuilding your foundation of trust, one step at a time.
