Rising After Divorce | Emotional Healing, Reclaiming, Starting Over, Trusting God

Did your divorce feel like it didn't just break your marriage β€” it broke you? Like somewhere between the pain, the paperwork, and the nights you couldn't sleep... the woman you used to be quietly disappeared. Your confidence walked out the door. Your sense of value went with it. And deep down, you started wondering if real love was simply no longer meant for you. If that's where you are β€” you are exactly where you need to be. I'm Patty Martin-Guerra, and I'm not speaking from the outside looking in. I'm speaking as someone who sat in that same darkness. I know what it's like to carry the quiet shame of a failed marriage. To feel paralyzed by the thought of starting over. To lie awake asking God whether you were too old, too wounded, too far gone for Him to write anything beautiful with what was left of your story. But here's what I found on the other side of all of that: Wholeness was always waiting for you. It still is. Dating After Divorce for Christian Women Over 40 is where the real, unglamorous, necessary work actually happens. We go deep on healing the invisible scars your marriage left behind. We name the cycles that kept pulling you backward. We rebuild, piece by piece, your identity, your worth, and your trust in God's plan for your love life β€” so that when the right person arrives, you're not just available. You're whole. You're grounded. You're ready. Each week I'll bring you the honest conversations nobody else is brave enough to have β€” the truths your closest friends can't quite articulate, your pastor tends to sidestep, and no search engine will ever hand you. Because you weren't meant to simply outlast your divorce. You were meant to flourish after it. πŸ—“οΈ New episodes every Tuesday. Subscribe now and let's take this journey together.

Have you ever looked in the mirror after your divorce and not recognized the woman looking back at you? Not because of how you look — but because somewhere along the way, you stopped knowing what you liked, what you wanted, and who you even were.

In this episode, we are talking about something most women are afraid to say out loud: I lost myself being his wife. And we are going to walk through why it happens, what i...

Have you ever stayed in a situation — a relationship, a dynamic, a version of yourself — just because it felt safer than asking for more?

Do you second-guess your own judgment when it comes to dating because you still blame yourself for your marriage not working?

Have you ever heard "don't be picky" or "at your age you can't afford to be choosy" — and somewhere deep down, believed it?
