In this episode of Intentional Divorce Insights, Leah Hadley speaks with Liesel Darby, a divorce mediator and coach, about effective strategies for managing the emotional and practical challenges of divorce. The conversation centers around the importance of self-care, establishing boundaries, and avoiding negative behaviors such as revenge or dwelling on an ex-partner’s social media.

Key Topics Discussed: 

- Avoid Negative Behaviors: Liesel advises against revenge tactics and stalking your ex’s social media. These kinds of behaviors can hinder healing and emotional well-being.

- The Importance of Self-Care: Establish a sleep routine, limit screen time before bed, and use journaling to calm anxiety. Plan and prepare nutritious meals in advance, and include some form of exercise in your daily routine. 

- Boundaries and Self-Prioritization: Practice setting personal boundaries. Avoid discussing the divorce or badmouthing your ex on social media to prevent potential legal issues.

- Managing Divorce Stress: Recognize changes in financial situations, parenting arrangements, and employment as significant stressors.

- Techniques for a Clear Mind: Practice journaling, making lists, engaging in fun activities, and maintaining a gratitude journal.

- Support Systems: Various support options are available, such as support groups, individual coaching, and group coaching on specific topics like self-care.
