This episode unpacks the hidden struggles behind seemingly "picture-perfect" relationships in the church community, diving into the subtle relational cracks that often drive couples apart.
Overview of Divorce Issues: In this session, we look at the difference between true emotional readiness and just searching for a quick fix after the trauma of divorce. Many people attempt to date as a way to resolve their identity crisis, but we discuss why this often fails. Instead, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing physiological and spiritual health—allowing God's design for your body and mind to lead the recovery process before inviting anyone else into your life.

Dawn’s Bio:
Dawn Wiggins became a marriage and family therapist because of her own experience as a child of divorce. About 10 years into her career, she thought: “This doesn’t work. This sucks.” At the same time, she became trained in EMDR. And that was a game changer. She saw her clients healing so much faster and more deliciously.
She expanded her practice to integrate multiple modalities from EMDR to EFT tapping, journaling, and energetic remedies for the mind and body—because you can’t heal one without healing the other. As a top-ranked therapist, she garnered a waiting list and top-secret “who’s who” clientele. But it’s her mission to deliver life-changing therapy in an accessible, scalable, affordable way and make waves in the world of mental health with the same enlightenment that happens in her office: part science, part essential oils, pure magic.
She helps people tear down their illusions with a candid approach that sometimes inspires frustration. Because being in reality can feel terrifying. Parts of you that you didn’t know existed reveal themselves. Past traumas you’d buried or never even knew you had come to the surface. And the thing is, once you crack it open, it’s hard to go back. The only way out is through.
💡 If you’ve ever asked:
“Why do I still feel stuck?”
This episode will help you stop pretending and start detoxing—emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

When everything you've built appears fractured, seeing a clear path forward feels nearly impossible. This episode confronts that absolute brokenness with real evidence of restoration.
Overview of Divorce Issues: In this session, we explore how God takes the collateral damage of a marital split and shifts it toward a framework of purpose. We move past "Christianese" platitudes that promise an easy life, focusing instead on how God uses the most difficult seasons to mold us into the image of Christ. We discuss how to sit with others in the rubble, model grace for our children, and ultimately use our own scars as credentials to help others navigate their own fires.

Rushing immediately back into the dating field often works to conceal underlying wounds rather than heal them.
Overview of Divorce Issues: In this episode, we talk through the strategic necessity of hitting the pause button after a divorce. Many people rush into dating to distract themselves from the pain of separation, but this often leads to repeating toxic cycles. We discuss how to separate your evolving identity from your past pain and why your focus should be entirely on your own recovery and foundation before considering any new romantic interests.

This isn't about superficial fixes or temporary adjustments—it is an internal reboot.
Overview of Issues: In this episode, we map out what it looks like to let go of old behavioral defaults and let God actively shape your new trajectory. Transitioning from "crushed" to "divorced" to finally "single" is a process. True rebooting happens when you stop trying to be who you were before the marriage and instead focus on who God is calling you to be now. We discuss how to avoid reactive behaviors and how to build a life that is anchored in spiritual health rather than societal success.

In this episode, we bring unvarnished honesty to the daily emotional turbulence of building a completely new life. Starting over is the process of redefining who you are outside of your marital title and learning to live authentically in your new reality. We discuss why moving from "spouse" or "parent" first to a whole individual is the key to true growth, and why you need to stop measuring your healing against an arbitrary calendar.

Instead of drowning out the silence, we discuss practical ways to allow God to restore those quiet spaces and transform them into purposeful periods of personal development and spiritual grounding.

Divorce uproots far more than your living arrangement, legal status, or financial security—it dismantles the very version of yourself that you expected to carry into the future.
Overview of Issues: In this episode, we dive deep into the profound crisis of identity that occurs when a lifetime commitment breaks down. Divorce isn't just about losing a person; it's about grieving the loss of shared memories, future goals, and a sense of daily predictability. We discuss why losing the "shared external memory bank" of a marriage is so destabilizing and how to begin the slow, necessary work of reclaiming your own narrative without the marital title.

Divorce changes more than your relationship status. It can shake your faith, your family, your friendships, your identity, and your sense of what comes next. UnYoked is here to…
Hosted by Todd Turner, the UnYoked Podcast offers honest, Christ-centered conversations for Christians navigating divorce, recovering from its aftermath, and rebuilding a life of faith, purpose, and hope.
We talk about the things Christians facing divorce are actually dealing with: Should I get a divorce? How do I survive the first few months? What happens when church friends disappear? How do I help my kids through this? How do I deal with loneliness? When am I ready to date again? And who am I now that the life I expected looks completely different?
The podcast follows three seasons of the journey:
Season 1: UnYoking
Help for Christians facing separation and divorce, including difficult decisions, family changes, emotional pain, and the spiritual questions that come when a marriage is ending.
Season 2: UnYoked Divorce Recovery
Honest conversations about grief, forgiveness, loneliness, identity, church hurt, co-parenting, dating, healing, and rebuilding after divorce.
Season 3: Yoked to Christ
Life after divorce is about more than recovering from divorce. It's about learning to live fully again. These conversations focus on following Jesus, finding purpose, rebuilding community, developing healthy relationships, and living on mission in this new season of life.
UnYoked doesn't pretend divorce is easy, and we don't offer religious clichés for complicated problems. We believe God's design for marriage matters, and so does His grace for people whose marriages have ended.
Your marriage may have ended. Your story hasn't.
UnYoked Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping Christians navigate divorce, heal from its aftermath, and rebuild a Christ-centered life with hope and purpose.
