  • [7] Using Dating to Quantum Leap Your Healing (Instead of Settling Again)

    Dating after divorce can feel terrifying, exhausting, or downright pointless—but it can also be one of the fastest ways to meet your next-level self if you know how to use it intentionally. In this episode, Rebecca shares how she approaches dating as a divorced single mom and spiritual woman, and how every coffee date, red flag, and crush can become a mirror that accelerates your healing instead of repeating old cycles.

    You’ll hear about:
    - How to use dating to reveal your patterns in real time (people-pleasing, over-giving, attachment, fantasy) so you can shift them faster
    - Why “quantum leaping” in love isn’t about manifesting a perfect person overnight, but about becoming the version of you who would never abandon herself for a relationship again
    - Green flags and red flags in your own body—what your nervous system and intuition are telling you on dates
    - Setting standards and boundaries without closing your heart, and staying anchored in your values when you really like someone
    - Using each dating experience as data that refines what you want, what you will no longer tolerate, and how deeply you can trust yourself

    This episode is for you if you’re divorced, separated, or starting over in dating and wondering if it’s even worth getting back out there. You’ll walk away with a softer, more empowered approach to dating—one that treats every connection as an opportunity to rise, rather than another test you can fail.

  • [6] My House Was Secretly Blocking My Abundance (Single Mom Money + Home Healing)

    Feeling like your house is “too much” can secretly choke your abundance and self-worth. In this episode, Rebecca shares how a full-on spiral about her home, finances, and single-mom capacity cracked open a huge money wound—and how shifting her mindset around her house immediately shifted what she was able to receive.

    Episode description
    Holding onto her home after divorce felt noble and necessary, but over time it became a pressure cooker: endless yardwork, repairs, decluttering, childcare, and a mortgage that constantly pushed her nervous system to the edge. Rebecca walks through the very real spiral of resenting her house, feeling unsupported, taking on credit card interest for the first time in a decade, and being mentally prepared to lose everything she had poured into it.
    ​
    She uncovers a core wound: the belief that “the rug will always be pulled out from under me, and someone else will take what’s mine.” This belief had her stuck in limbo—too scared to invest in making her home feel beautiful and like hers, because she assumed it would all be taken away anyway. From there, she takes you into the moment she almost chose an easier apartment out of scarcity, and the breakthrough where she realized that staying small, frozen, and resentful was blocking her abundance far more than her house ever was.

    This episode is for you if you are a single mom, divorced, or simply overwhelmed by a home, job, or life you’ve outgrown—and you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. You’ll hear how small actions like painting a wall, reframing chores, and asking for help can become spiritual declarations to the universe that you trust yourself, trust the divine, and are done living in fear that everything good will be taken from you.

    In this episode
    - The honest spiral: house overwhelm, money fear, credit card interest, and feeling like there is never enough support or time.
    ​- The core wound of expecting the rug to be pulled out—and how that showed up in her house, finances, and relationships.
    - Being stuck in limbo: why she couldn’t bring herself to paint, decorate, or invest in her space while waiting to see if she’d have to sell.
    ​- The turning point: choosing to stop making decisions from scarcity and start treating the home like hers, regardless of the outcome.
    ​- How the universe responded once she shifted her energy—friends offering tangible help, support showing up, and a new sense of empowerment in her space.

  • [5] How a Solo Trip After Divorce Healed My Codependency

    Solo travel after divorce can be incredibly healing, and this episode is all about why. In this follow-up to her Eurotrip story, Rebecca shares how a week alone in London and Paris helped her break patterns of codependency, deepen self-trust, and claim a new, expanded version of herself after divorce.

    Episode description
    Picking up where “Advocating for my Eurotrip” left off, Rebecca dives into what actually happened on her solo trip—not just the logistics, but the emotional and spiritual upgrades that came with it. She talks about how walking foreign streets alone, navigating trains, choosing her own schedule, and saying yes to experiences for no one’s benefit but her own became powerful medicine for old wounds around dependence, safety, and needing permission.

    Instead of feeling sorry for herself without a partner beside her, she intentionally chose to see London and Paris through the lens of empowerment. From connecting with like-minded women at an in-person event to proving to herself that she could be safe, capable, and “lucky” abroad, Rebecca shares the countless ways this trip helped her integrate years of healing work and see what was truly possible for her life post-divorce.
    ​

    This episode is for you if you’re craving something big and brave—whether that’s a solo trip, retreat, or simply a weekend away—but feel weighed down by guilt, fear, or other people’s opinions. You’ll walk away with a new perspective on investing in experiences that expand you, plus encouragement to follow your own nudges, build a relationship with your intuition and guides, and let joy be part of your healing journey—not the reward that only comes “after you’ve done the work.”

    In this episode
    - How a solo London–Paris trip became a living proof of Rebecca’s resilience and growth after divorce.
    ​- The mindset shifts that helped her see traveling alone not as “sad,” but as wildly empowering and expansive.
    ​- Ways she stayed safe and grounded while still trusting her intuition, spirit guides, and “lucky girl syndrome.”
    - What time alone in a foreign city revealed about her patterns of codependency and her capacity to choose herself.
    ​- Why integrating big experiences matters—and how this trip continues to shape her next chapter and offerings in the Risen Collective.

  • [4] Why I Took a SOLO Euro Trip as a Single Mom (and Didn’t Feel Guilty)

    Booking a solo Eurotrip as a single mom is not irresponsible—it can be one of the most powerful choices you make for your healing and self-worth. In this episode, Rebecca shares how advocating for her solo trip to London and Paris became a massive act of self-trust, expansion, and post-divorce empowerment.

    Episode description
    After a traumatic few years and a difficult divorce, Rebecca felt a strong inner nudge to join a year-long coaching container that included in-person meetups—one of them in London. What started as an “impulsive” investment turned into a solo Eurotrip to London and Paris that she paid for creatively with points, discounts, and resourcefulness, all while navigating tight finances and single motherhood.

    She opens up about the resistance she faced from family who thought the trip was a bad idea, especially as a mom “struggling with money” and not traveling for work. Rebecca talks honestly about the guilt, the comments like “I never got to do that when my kids were little,” and the moment she realized she had to choose her own path anyway. This trip became proof that she could prioritize herself without being reckless, and that joy and adventure are not off-limits just because she is divorced or a parent.

    This episode is for anyone who feels selfish for wanting more than survival—more than court dates, bills, and logistics. You’ll hear how following spiritual nudges, building a relationship with your guides, and saying “yes” to expansion can change how you see yourself, your future, and what you’re allowed to experience in this one wild life.

    In this episode
    - Why Rebecca said yes to a year-long coaching program and two international meetups even while rebuilding after divorce.
    - How she used flight points, company travel discounts, and careful planning to make a London–Paris solo trip doable.
    ​- The pushback she received (“I don’t think you should go abroad,” “I never had that option as a mom”) and how she held her boundary anyway.
    ​- The role of spirit guides, intuition, and “lucky girl syndrome” in choosing aligned risks without being reckless.
    - How this trip became a turning point in healing codependency, trusting herself, and seeing travel as part of her post-divorce rebirth instead of a luxury she doesn’t deserve.

  • [3] Is Santa Stealing Credit from Single Moms? The Patriarchy of Christmas Gifts

    When someone else keeps getting the credit for your hard work, it hurts. In this episode of the Risen Sisterhood podcast, Rebecca uses Santa, Christmas, and single‑mom life to unpack the deeper patterns of women shrinking themselves, over‑giving, and handing their power away.

    Episode description
    This honest, slightly spicy Christmas rant starts with a “Santa spoiler” and turns into a powerful reflection on motherhood, patriarchy, and worth. Rebecca shares how, as a single mom, she has often overcompensated with gifts and quietly allowed Santa (and others) to take credit for the long hours, emotional labor, and financial sacrifice that actually came from her. She invites listeners to rethink who gets the credit in their homes and why it can feel so uncomfortable to say, “I did this. I worked for this. This came from me.”
    ​
    You’ll hear her walk through a simple but radical shift: Santa brings one small gift and a stocking, and “mommy” brings the rest. This choice becomes a lens for exploring people‑pleasing, income inequality, classroom comparisons, and how moms learn to stay behind the scenes so no one else feels bad. Rebecca shares how this Christmas boundary is actually part of breaking a generational cycle of women minimizing themselves and modeling that smallness to their daughters.
    ​
    This episode is for you if you’ve ever found yourself doing the work of two people, sharing the credit with someone who isn’t showing up, or dimming your light so others stay comfortable. You’ll walk away with permission to claim your effort in real time, protect kids who have less from unfair “Santa comparisons,” and start asking where else in your life you’ve been okay with others taking credit for your magic.
    ​

    In this episode
    - Why many moms feel weird taking credit and default to “Santa did it” instead.
    ​- How unequal “Santa gifts” can quietly reinforce class differences and shame for kids at school.
    ​- The link between people‑pleasing, over‑functioning, and letting others (including exes) share credit they did not earn.
    ​- What it looks like to set a new norm: one Santa gift and stocking, the rest clearly from mom.
    ​- How claiming your worth in small things (like gift tags) helps you step into your power in bigger areas of life and relationships.

  • [2] When Your Life Completely Falls Apart (Why It Might Actually Be Protection)

    Trusting your hardest seasons can shift everything. In this episode of the Risen Sisterhood podcast, Rebecca unpacks “tower moments” — those seasons when life feels like it is burning to the ground — and shows how they can become sacred invitations to deeper trust, peace, and alignment.

    Episode description
    When everything is collapsing, how do you know if you are being punished…or protected? In this raw and encouraging conversation, Rebecca shares how learning to trust God, the universe, her angels, and spirit guides transformed the darkest parts of her divorce and healing journey into a path toward inner freedom. She speaks directly to women who feel blindsided by divorce, betrayal, or sudden change, offering language and tools to see these “tower moments” as turning points rather than proof that you are failing.
    ​

    You’ll hear how anxiety, fear, and worst‑case‑scenario spirals often show up right before a breakthrough, and how choosing to lean into support—both seen and unseen—can open doors you never expected. Rebecca shares how being surrounded by hopeful, grounded women and spiritual support helped her move from constant survival mode into a life marked by peace, softness, and genuine joy.
    ​

    This episode is for you if you’re in the middle of a lifequake: court dates, custody battles, job loss, identity shifts, or nights where you’re crying on the bathroom floor wondering how it all fell apart. You’ll walk away with a gentler perspective on your current season and permission to believe that what’s crumbling may actually be making space for something more aligned with your soul.

    In this episode:
    - What a “tower moment” is and why it can feel like your whole life is being demolished at once.
    ​- How to trust God, your intuition, and your spiritual team when everything logical says “panic.”
    ​- Why tower seasons often reveal what was never truly stable or aligned in the first place.
    ​- How hope, community, and small acts of trust can shift your reality, even before your circumstances change.
    ​- The connection between your hardest moments and your deeper purpose to help raise the collective “vibe,” consciousness, and happiness of those around you.

  • [1] Was My Divorce SELFISH… or the Most Selfless Thing I’ve Ever Done?

    In this vulnerable conversation, Rebecca welcomes you into the Risen Sisterhood: a safe space for women walking through divorce, breakup, or any life rupture that feels like your world has been turned upside down. She shares her story as a single mom of two, the years-long unraveling of her marriage, and the moment she realized that leaving was actually the beginning of the hard work and deep healing—not the “easy way out.”

    You’ll hear how people‑pleasing, low self‑worth, and childhood wounding can keep you stuck in unhealthy dynamics, and how facing shame, guilt, anger, and grief can crack you open to a more honest, empowered life. Rebecca reframes boundaries and even going no‑contact as an act of love—for yourself, your kids, and future generations—rather than selfishness.

    This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt obliterated by divorce, terrified of single parenthood, or convinced that your life is over because a relationship ended. Rebecca offers hope, reminding you that you are not broken, you are becoming, and that it is absolutely possible to rise from the ashes into a life that feels lighter, freer, and more authentically you.

    In this episode:
    - Why “sometimes divorce has to happen” for you to meet your truest self.
    - How people‑pleasing, codependency, and low self‑worth keep you in misaligned relationships.
    ​- The truth about boundaries: why they feel awful at first but are deeply selfless in the long run.
    - Facing shame, guilt, and grief as the doorway to healing your inner programming and childhood wounds.
    ​- How choosing yourself can make you a better mom, friend, and co‑parent.
    - The vision of the Risen Sisterhood: rising together through divorce, trauma, and transformation.
