Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce

Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas...also known as the 12 Days of Becoming Her Again.

Today we’re talking about something no one prepares you for after divorce:
 when the house is too quiet.

Not peaceful quiet.
Not restful quiet.
The kind of quiet that feels heavy, deafening, and impossible to sit in.

When the house feels too quiet, most of us instinctively want to:

• distract
• dissociate
• get busy
• scroll
• eat
• s...

Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas...also known as the 12 days of becoming her again.

If you’re listening today, there’s a good chance part of you feels like:
 “I can’t do this.”
Not the holidays.
Not the decisions.
Not the weight of doing this alone.

This episode isn’t here to convince you otherwise.

It’s here to help you understand that when you feel like you can’t, it’s not weakness or victimhoo...

After divorce, many women aren’t just grieving...they’re carrying too much in their nervous system.

Too much responsibility.
Too much self-doubt.
Too much pressure to hold it together.

That load doesn’t live in your thoughts. It lives in your body.

In this episode, Dawn guides a somatic practice that blends EFT tapping with IFS-style parts work to help the nervous system release what it’s been holding. This is not about insigh...

The holidays can make everything feel heavier — especially when you’re freshly divorced or still deep in the weeds of it all.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we talk about three hidden patterns that often stall divorce healing and leave women feeling unsafe, unmoored, and scattered, even when the marriage is over and you’re trying to move forward.

This conversation is a teaser for Season 5 - can you believe it?!- where we’ll s...

Today’s episode is personal, unpolished, and happening in real time.

This is the first in our new premium series, Behind the Mic—where we take you into the conversations that usually happen off-air. And this week, I’m sharing something I’m still moving through: a recent miscarriage.

Inside this conversation, we talk about how this loss collided with my lifelong pattern of staying in masculine energy—overfunctioning, overproducing, an...

If the holidays feel heavier this year—even the tiny decisions that shouldn’t take this much out of you—there’s a reason. After divorce, women carry an invisible load no one prepares us for. The planning, the negotiating, the managing, the remembering, the holding-it-all-together… it piles up until your body feels like it’s running on fumes.

And that overwhelm you keep blaming on weakness or poor coping?
It’s not that.
It’s ...

Letting go after divorce isn’t about willpower.
It’s about physiology.

Your body won’t release someone until it feels anchored somewhere safer than the place it’s been clinging.
And that’s why cord-cutting rituals, no-contact declarations, and “I’m done for real this time” moments almost never stick.

In this guided premium episode, we’re not letting go into emptiness...we’re letting go into self-belonging, the only place your...

If you’ve ever felt that tug toward your ex...not the man, but the idea of him...we've got you. That pull is your nervous system trying to finish a story it never got closure on. And after divorce, that pull gets loud.

In this episode, we break down why trauma bonds feel like soul ties and why your body keeps reaching for someone who couldn’t give you safety. You’ll learn what’s actually happening in your brain, why familiar pa...

Sometimes panic doesn’t wait for privacy.
It hits in the grocery store aisle, the Target parking lot, or right between the pasta sauce and the paper towels — the places where your body finally says, “No. I can’t hold this alone anymore.”

This premium episode is your real-time grounding track for those moments.
A full nervous-system reset you can use while you’re actively panicking — not later, not in hindsight, but right the...

...and then there’s the moment you’re just standing in the pasta sauce aisle, realizing your life doesn’t come in a set of two anymore.

No one warns you about that part of life after divorce.
The everyday grief. 

The way your stomach drops when you reach for a family-size anything and remember: it’s just me now.

In this episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff unpack why the tiny, ordinary moments hit harder than the big ones — and why the gr...

If you pressed play on this tonight, it probably means the quiet hit differently.
Not the peaceful kind — the kind that presses against your ribs and makes your chest feel too small for your own heart.

The kind of quiet that shows up after divorce, when the world is flashing warm twinkle-light romance and happy-family commercials, and you're sitting in a room trying to remember how to breathe in your own life.

This episode i...

The holidays don’t just remind you who’s at your table...
They remind you who isn’t.

When you’re divorced, that quiet has a sound.
It’s the clink of one mug instead of two.
The solo grocery run.
The ache of seeing everyone else’s “perfect” family photos.
And the part no one talks about?
Your nervous system feels all of it long before your mind catches up.

In this episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff walk you through w...

You can talk about healing all day long…
But until you learn this kind of forgiveness, you’ll keep carrying him—
in your body, your triggers, your next relationship.

In this Dear Divorce Diary Premium episode, we get real about the difference between talking about forgiveness and actually feeling it.

You’ll walk through three powerful journal prompts that expose the exact places you’re still holding on—
and teach your bod...

You swore you were past it.
You journaled, forgave, meditated, did the work.

But then a photo shows up, or someone says his name, and your chest tightens again. That’s resentment — the emotion that doesn’t move out just because you tell it to.

In this episode, we stop pretending it’s gone.
We talk about what keeps it alive, why it feeds on validation, and what’s hiding under all that anger.

Joy shares the text that broke her c...

When your hormones and your heartbreak start tag-teaming your sanity, it can feel like your body and your emotions are working against you. You’re exhausted, irritable, sleepless, and half the time you can’t tell if you’re healing or falling apart.

In this episode, Dawn, Tiffini, and Joy unpack the missing link that brings your body and emotions back onto the same team. Together, they break down:

✨ Why somatics matter — and how real ...

What happens when the biggest emotional transition of your life — divorce — collides with the biggest physical one — menopause?

It’s not just about hot flashes or sleep loss.
 It’s your identity, libido, mood, memory, confidence, and worth all shifting at once.

And when menopause arrives during or after divorce, it can feel like:

💔 Am I still desirable?
🤯 Why can’t I think straight?
🔥 Is this rage normal or am I losin...

There’s a kind of loneliness that doesn’t just live in your thoughts — it lives in your body...It’s the ache in your chest when you see another couple holding hands.
The quiet in the house that feels too loud.
The impulse to pour a glass of wine or take something to help you not feel so much.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff guide you through a custom EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping practi...

Have you ever noticed the world is built for couples?
 Dinner for two, “plus-one” invites, family discounts — even the way people glance at you when you’re alone after divorce. It can feel like every billboard is whispering: you don’t belong.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn, Coach Tiffini, and Producer Joy get brutally honest about what it means to be single in a couple’s world. They unpack:

💔 Why loneliness after di...

You could be a therapist, a coach, or the friend who swears she knows better—and still fall for an avoidant man’s games after divorce.

In this Dear Divorce Diary Premium episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiffini get brutally honest (and hilariously real) about the ridiculous ways smart women stay hooked—the late-night texts, the lies we half-believed, the crumbs we treated like connection.

Then they flip the script with five raw, transformativ...
